    Default What phrase do you wish people would say more often?

    "I Love You" to family members

    "Thank You" from anyone when you do something for them.

    Whatever you say, Cheryl (or Mom)!

    Actually, a REAL phrase I like is---'Pay it forward'.

    "No Ma'am you don't have to pay for your groceries today, you're the (insert numbers) customer this week so they are free! Today's your lucky day!"

    Yeah I wish.

    In all seriousness I would like to hear people say "Hello" more often to strangers along with a wave while in passing, sometimes that's all a person needs to make their day. "Thank you, you're welcome, please, I'm sorry, and I love you" when it's needed and not asked for.

    Everyone -- Thanks
    Please
    You're welcome

    Common courtesies that aren't so common anymore.

    My 19 yr. old -- "Sure, Mom, I'll be glad to clean up the house for you!" or " Let me give you some money; I see you are running short."

    My DH -- "Put your feet up, darlin', and I'll cook dinner, clean up the kitchen, and then I'll give you a massage with scented oil."

    Ed McMahon -- Congratulations, You have won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes!
