I remember once when we were broke and we needed the help of some good mechanics.. C asked them nicely with a smile and a box of donuts! :) People are almost always willing to help and be kind when they are treated with respect.love.boxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450621259116289517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217568.post-48760039341246092022009-06-19T08:51:46.804-07:002009-06-19T08:51:46.804-07:00I'm a friend of Circe's; your headline on ...I'm a friend of Circe's; your headline on her bloglist caught my eye.
