Brian England good morning again, Brian... I suspect that may be due to the fact that most people take so little time to pay compliments these days that when someone gets one they really don't know how to respond.

Kat Palmiotti thank you, Kat... and right back at you. I so appreciate and enjoy my friends here in the Rain... they (and you) are simply the best!

Grant Schneider good morning, Grant. I've found that if one really pays attention it's not all that hard to find something to compliment about another person.

Barbara Todaro good morning and thank you, Barbara. It really is quite amazing to see how people are "transformed" when they are paid a sincere compliment.

Roy Kelley good morning again, Roy... we should all be more mindful of paying compliments in our daily lives... especially these days when we are all so much more isolated.

Wayne Martin good morning again, Wayne... I very much believe that a compliment is like verbal sunshine. They do wonders.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 hi Sheila... and right back at you! I appreciate your stopping by each day, as well!

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... don't our pets make it so easy to pay them compliments? Mr. M purrs like made and Mr. B wags his tail like mad in appreciation. And they seem to have no problem showing us how much they love us.

Joan Cox thanks, Joan... I appreciate that compliment! :)  Like Mark Twain, I think we can all live for two months on a great compliment!

Rocky Dickerson thank you, Rocky... and I remain "stunned" by your creativity... "sweating glitter" is a new term for me. How did you know I'm a fan of some glitz and glitter? (Tasteful, of course.)

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! thank you, Wanda... and you are a gem for taking time to stop by today and pay me a compliment!

George Souto hi George... and thank you for that compliment. That list just goes to show you don't need to be elaborate, just genuine, when paying a compliment.

Michael Jacobs good morning, Michael... those of us of a certain generation could never forget that Eddie Haskell line! Compliments without sincerity are useless, no doubt about it. But when they are genuine, they can totally make someone's day.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS ha-ha-ha, Paul! I suppose if we sat around and brain-stormed, we'd come up with at least another 100 compliments.

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... paying a genuine compliment is not only kind, it's free! More people should try it. It costs nothing and the payoff is huge.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP good morning, Patricia... and thank you so much for that compliment. Mine to you is that you may be one of the most creative people here in the Rain and I'm always in awe of how you express yourself both verbally and with pictures.

Lise Howe thanks, Lise! And right back at you! I'm still looking forward to being around you in person one day soon!

Lise Howe hi Lise... I realized the other day that the last time I'd been out of Charlotte was in October 2019.

Lise Howe for some reason, the two things I decided to do to stay safe is not travel and not eat at restaurants. As soon as I get my vaccination in March, I might rethink that.
