Really?

What ever happened to being honest or saying Thank you? It seems like these two ideas have been lost in society. Why is it so hard to be honest, and us your manners? Was I the only one brought up that way?

I have a tattoo across my chest that reads, "No Lies, Just Love". I am not perfect and yes I do lie from time to time. However, when I say "I miss you!!!" I mean it. I'm not just saying it to say it. If you do not miss me, do not say you do. Actions speak louder then words folks. If you can't make time for me, that's fine. If you don't miss me, that's fine too. But when you know I'm coming to see you, and you wait until the last minute to say you won't be home you've made other plans, that is when I get pissed. (Also hurt...mostly hurt actually.)

Thank you works the same way. When I show concern for you or your family, say thank you. Don't just go on about how it's fine and then hang up. The world is falling apart, can't we keep manners?
Would you like a glass of tea? "No THANK YOU!"
"Do you want me to turn around and check on them?" "No I'm sure they are fine. THANK YOU for offering though!"
It's not that hard people.
