Good behavior maybe? Certain people's behavior seemed to be the reason we lost them. That’s how my parents treated me when I was a kid. Break the rules - lose a privilege. Follow the rules - regain some privileges. As long as I want to play on the TD’s playground I have to follow their rules. And use a little bit of common sense.
Hey I had one and didn't even know it. Somebody thought I said something funny. Ain't that a hoot. The message has been there for a while. Thanks for telling me. I didn't know we could do that. Why don't people use that if they want to say something mean to somebody instead of saying it here for everybody to see?
