Is it me or has the art of saying thank you for receiving a card gone out of fashion. I can see some threads elsewhere on here but nothing about sending cards. I wouldn’t dream if not saying thanks even though electronic means if I received a card yet I tend to not get this returned., or am I being too touchy? Example is a friend whose birthday it was followed by a house move card. Nothing from them ?‍♀️

Thank you, just wish the numbers would start going backwards.

Whenever I read a rant about 'the young these days' selfish and undeserving, always on their phones etc etc. I always feel pretty sure someone is writing from their prejudices and not from their day to day experience.

I also find it very salutary to remind myself and many others of the 1960s/70s generation that we were the generation that kicked the applecart over in a way the current generation can only dream of.

In fact I think the complaint about younger generations being selfish, lazy, greedy and demanding etc etc probably dates back to the beginning of time. I expect Adam and Eve said it about Cain and Abel and that in their time our grandchildren will say it about their grandchildren, – Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!
