| Writing thank you notes is not considered mandatory anymore. Sad statement of the way things are. I was raised to say Yes, mam, No sir, please, and thank you. You don't see that much anymore either!My daughters had to teach their husbands how to write thank you notes. Neither one had ever written one!I have a nephew that has never thanked us for all the birthday and Christmas gifts he received for over 20 years.It's a courtesy that people have conveniently forgotten about. |

| I decided a long time ago, that if I give and I don't get a Thank You, that I don't care.I give because I care and for my own satisfaction.Some people just don't get it, for more reasons than one.I give from my heart and my heart feels good when I give.No thanks needed. |

| If you expect anything back from what you do for or give to another then it is not a gift. Oven a thank you is a price if it is expected. If you want a thanks and so not get it the stop selling for the price of a thanks. |

| There are users' and there are users'. And you apparentlyhave been used by someone who thinks more highly ofhimself, than anyone else around. If I give something to someone, and they don't thank me. That makes me thinktwice about ever giving them something else. As they aretaking you for granted. And people like that, no one needsin their lives. I have had that happen to me, with wedding gifts. I don'tknow why it is either. Everyone knows you send a writtenthank you for wedding gifts. The last time I gave a weddinggift was last year. I was invited to a friends' cousins'wedding. And I handed the gift, a silver plated cake knife, to the groom to be. And got a verbal thank you. But after the honeymoon, I didn't hear anything. I asked our friend, and he made a lame excuse, and said"they wanted me to thank you for them". Yeah, right. A surecover up, for a lack of manners. We live and learn from ourgenerosity, not to make the same mistakes twice. That'swhy the adage, 'pick your friends wisely'.........! |

| Sad to say, our culture has changed and most people don't think about a thank you unless it is given right at the time we received the gift or deed. I ask a friend's son if he wrote a thank you to his grandparents who lived out of state, but had sent him a gift. He replied "no", because he said it was expected of them to send him a gift.I don't like this change. My Mother used to sit us down and make us write a thank you whenever we got gifts. I think it is a good lesson. |

| I always say thank you,but the days of the written card are sadly becoming a thing of the past...And for some people saying thank you is hard,maybe because folks haven't been generous to them,or they feel embarrassed because they can't return the same. |

| People are just lazy that way, if they say thank you upon receipt they think that is enough. |
