Disrespect is manifesting by multitasking. I had a conversation by phone with a man yesterday who was disconnected from the conversation because he had an I phone, interruptions and his computer in front of him. Probably reading something too. I find that disrespectful. If I am in a conversation with you, you have my undivided. I expect the same from you. AND if I must go, I will excuse myself. Our multi tasking ADD society has become so abstract that it no longer works in for common courtesy. This fellow considers this syndrome a mental illness.

Eleanor Roosevelt said that no one can make you feel inferior (or disrespected) without your permission. I hereby withdraw any permission for you not being involved in any conversation. Particularly if YOU called ME. IF you are too busy to talk, you are too busy for me. It's a matter of common courtesy and common sense. It's time for manners here. I'm just enough older than most to be cranky about it all. GROW UP. Be a man or woman of God. It's the worst when it's from a brother or a sister. FAIR WARNING. If it happens again, expect a CLICK from my end. I should have done so yesterday. It WILL NOT happen again. OK, rant is ove
