Courtesy, manners and tradition

[pomtzu]

I would love to think that I had endeared myself to someone.....and imagine it to be a complete stranger!

But.............
Just think. That person calling you dear or hon, is probably calling everyone else the same! That's not a very endearing thought IMO. Just take a look at those in line behind you at the checkout sometime - not always of the dear or hon class. LOL
