Mellisa, I was very proud of my 14 yr old son last weekend when I saw him opening the Hummer door for the girl, and he had the money ready to pay for the girl at the fountain and moviehouse. I didn't have to remind him in advance. I still open doors for my wife and nearby ladies, and I pull the chair for her too. Society may have changed on basic manner toward ladies, but not in my house.
I have to admit I loved it when Mel Gibson punched Lucy Lu(sp?), Habba Habba Habba. Rewind and replay.
Manners are the outward expression of thoughtfulness, not some rote thing a person made up long ago just to punish us.
Peter is a gentleman (sorry honey for ruining your forum image), and I always attributed that to his innate thoughtfulness. It is a large part of the reason I married him.

Trapped in material plane,
she wants to fly and they think she\'s insane,
but she knows what she knows.
Give that girl wings and that\'s all she wrote.
