"Respect your elders"

When respect is lost, it is hard replaced. Something I am sure you need to keep in mind whilst upon this subject.

As cashy would say "yeh might be reght yon" :D

Are you suggesting being respectful takes more effort than I've recently been making because when it's gone (like I'm sure it is with some members) it's hard to get back ;)

My thoughts on this have been mainly covered by what other members have written, especially Margaret’s regarding courtesy, which to my way of thinking is akin to respect. Courtesy and good manners should be shown towards others, irrespective of age or gender and if they don’t respond or return this courtesy then it is their problem, no one else’s.

Certainly respect others for their achievements and for their endeavours - but this shouldn't be a right to be expected just because a person is of a certain age, respect has to be earned.

However, we should respect the rights of others (as long as they are legal and legitimate of course) – even if we don’t always agree with them, have regard for people and for their property, and to start with have some respect for ourselves – ‘cause if we don’t nobody else will.

Btw, I’m a few years older than you Margaret so I’m a 23 year old in an old shell wondering what the hell happened….and ain’t that the truth.
 
Dotti, I am glad there is someone else out there who looks in the mirror each morning and wonders who on earth it is staring back.
Just where did the time go?
 
Well, I don't think I would wish it back.
I'm happy with where I am at.....but I just wish that old woman in the mirror would stop looking at me :)

Thank your lucky stars you don't see what I see every morning, I keep wondering why Freddy Kruger is looking out of my mirror, although I think I'm still young enough to do DIY as I once did my body says I'm not, planted 1/2 doz rows of peas this aft, and I was knackered for over 2 hours.
