Hi Jim, Your a good man and all you need to say is please don't call me Sir cause I don't like that. Some people say it makes them feel old. I think its just respect for the other person. Each one of us has our own feelings and if we express them then things change. Its the holding back of feelings that make us loose it. It is so much better to talk out our feelings than to hold them in. Its like a sore that festers after a while it pops. If we take good care od it it will go away without hurting so bad. Have a blessed day Jim and thanks for calling me ma'am Regards, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elkdreamer Wilkins" <elkdremr@hotmail.com> To: <CHAHTA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 6:45 AM Subject: Re: Yes and no ma'am Re: [CHAHTA] twinkies > Halito Jim > Good Words > Walk in Beauty > Elkdreamer > > > >From: "Jim Morrison, Jr." <jmorsn@coastalnet.com> > >Reply-To: CHAHTA-L@rootsweb.com > >To: CHAHTA-L@rootsweb.com > >Subject: Re: Yes and no ma'am Re: [CHAHTA] twinkies > >Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 08:15:16 -0400 > > > >Hi Linda > >Thank you, ma'am! > >Jim > > > >jmorsn@coastalnet.com > >http://www2.coastalnet.com/~g7d3j4nb/ > >----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Linda Branum" <mamalin@1s.net> > >To: <CHAHTA-L@rootsweb.com> > >Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 8:05 AM > >Subject: Re: Yes and no ma'am Re: [CHAHTA] twinkies > > > > > > > Hi Jim, > > > Some people don't and if told my children and I will respect your > >wishes. > > > Regards, Linda > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: "Jim Morrison, Jr." <jmorsn@coastalnet.com> > > > To: <CHAHTA-L@rootsweb.com> > > > Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 1:29 AM > > > Subject: Re: Yes and no ma'am Re: [CHAHTA] twinkies > > > > > > > > > > It all goes back to how you were raised and the degree of respect you > >were > > > > taught!!
