Might not. Just remember that what goes around comes around. :) One day years from now young people will likely treat them in a similar way. And probably they will be shocked and "remember" how well mannered they were when they were young.EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-91026352943777779792011-07-09T21:49:26.452-04:002011-07-09T21:49:26.452-04:00I hate people talking loudly on cell phones in pla...I hate people talking loudly on cell phones in places where you can't readily leave, elevators, cars, cafe's etc.<br /><br />The crudeness you are talking about bothers me also. And then the comments about old people and such. I'm no prude but some things shouldn't be broadcasted to an unwilling audience.<br /><br />Our son has a friend with an iphone who has had no limits placed on him by his mother on the youtube videos. He was shocked when we first told him that if he wanted to stay during a visit he was going to have to put up and keep stashed his iphone. He liked to play crude videos on it that we didn't think our son should hear or was ready to hear.<br /><br />Basically though, I have a lot of faith in young people. Most of them are very courteous.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-73822573717542536772011-07-08T17:21:11.493-04:002011-07-08T17:21:11.493-04:00You're right @Olga.

The citiot said, "I'm sick of old people!" @Kay. Same difference, I suppose. <br /><br />We elders carry on the family traditions, the stories, the values. I feel sorry for these young men's families, that they must deal with them.<br /><br />@Latane, Me? You amaze me. You are my hero.<br />You do all you do with dignity and grace.

However, I hope they'll remember their stupid, rude and crude behavior when they are treated the same way in a few years.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-8045236280715630522011-07-08T15:04:20.972-04:002011-07-08T15:04:20.972-04:00OOoo, that made me mad.

Or do they think they're funny?<br />It's sad, but they are "too much with us, late and soon" and will probably never disappear. Idiots, I mean. So you're right not to let them spoil what otherwise sounds like a good day.<br />You're right about old people. I'm now the eldest in my immediate family, because both of my parents died in the last four years, but I'm not yet the kind of "old people" of whom you speak. There's nothing very venerable about me — yet!<br />— K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.

It touches me to know that I have touched and connected with someone so sweet and kind as you .... and yes, wasn't skypeing such fun. I don't do that anymore. I had skype to talk to my son and he got disinterested so I quit. Bummer.Latane Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745676377589651275noreply@blogger.com
