The other day a young gal waited on me.....no thank you...nada....and I'd just spent over $ 200.00... Mary Or aks instead of ask? But what about the plain old fashioned forgetting to say please and thank you???? Drives me nuts. mmm-hmmm, it does. |

The teacher was helping her out with a bit of grammer, and DD said "Nicht grokken das." That is a bit of our "house spracht", and the teacher recognized the parts. According to DD, the woman was near to jumping for joy and explaining the bits of german and martian and how they were put together. Then she showed what a completely fabulous teacher she is by sitting down and using it to explain to DD the bit she was having trouble with. Why did it scare DD? "Mooom! My french teacher speaks martian!" What does it have to do with spelling? Absolutely nothing. It is just that the manger thing made me think of french.

Whether I get a "thank you" or not, I always say "You're welcome". Serves a

OT for Lia and other spellers
Well, maybe your darling had not had his morning java yet! Just
today I wrote a note to the painter, and about the 'sutter' color and I gave him my 'celle' phone number!! Luckily I noticed as I was sticking the note to the paint can and corrected. It was early, I was in need of coffee, and I was in a hurry. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
