Love it. When I go through a check out at the grocery store the check out person always asks something along the lines of "how are you?" I make a habit of saying really good (will change that to "great" now) and asking them how their day is going. It's amazing how few people will ask them in return and I find they generally appreciate it. <I><B>Laurie:</b> I like that you ask them about their day also - and you seem like the kind of person who would actually listen to their answer too. That makes a big difference. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate it. </i> What a “great” idea Laurie! Love it.

Those answers made people laugh and it made him laugh - good cheer all around! <I><B>Laurie:</b> LOL! Made me laugh too! I think I would have written a different post if I had known these responses first. Depending on who asks, I'm going to use your father's answers for a laugh.
