Chivlary

Yes it's true chilvary may not be died after all.
I wanted to share with any one who wanted to read this , there are a few men out there who believe in chivlary. I was in town today at walmart and usually when I'm there ,there are soo many grumpy people out it drives me crazy. I'm nice and considerate to others even on a bad day and I would appreciate the same, you don't have to be smiley or jumping for joy all the time just be nice. While shopping I ran into sooo many mean people that I was beginning to become pretty grumpy myself. I had to pick up dog food while I was there and we have two big dogs so we get 50lbs of dog food to feed them for the week. It's heavy but not so much I can't take care of it , but as I was walking to my truck a man parked on the side of my truck hurried out of his car to help me with the big bag of food. I was so impressed by how kind he was to help. I insisted he didn't need to go out of his way but he insisted he was to going to help.He put the bag into my truck and shut the tailgate as well. For whatever reason I forgot about the grumpiness all around and it made my day better.

I think some of the younger men around here could take a few lessons from the older gentlemen. It would be nice if everyone could use their manners even if their day is bad you never know who you may help and how much it helped them with their day whether you do something big or small. For me it was the simple reminder that not all men are ass holes and not all men are in it to get it.

I am all about manners!! I mean, I am for equal rights, but not when it comes to opening the door, and all the "gentle-manly" things!! Nice guy at Walmart...I never seem to run into the nice ones, just the rude ones that want my parking space!!
OK...and about dressess....I would be irritated!! That is a huge pain in the butt...especially when you ordered them in November!!! I will definately keep that in mind!! We need to get together and go on a double date... so talk to Daniel and we will arrange a time!

The man was much older then us but age should not matter when it comes to manners. I agree very seldom do I run into nice men any where. And the dress thing it gets worse we now have to find diffrent dresses if that is possible cause they won't be in til the 17th and she is getting married the 25th.... ahhh the stress.
