Welcome to #CheckIn for Thursday, May 11

How are you these days? Well hello. It's my turn to lead the nightmare #CheckIn become April 29😳 An abbreviated list will be in the comments but make sure to follow the Hashtag! If you are #NewHere; welcome! Hope you’ll join in; take part in the daily thread topic, continue the topic from yesterday, give a brief update or send a wave - please don't make this the party no one comes to!

Let’s jump in.

Manners are the grease of social interactions and cultures are different. I used to read a lot of etiquette books in the school library and social customs are very interesting. It's funny how people can become rude trying to enforce their ideas of good manners. I think I'm better at saying thank you than please but I'm not sure.

Do you say please and/or thank you to everyone or just people you don't know well?

Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not) and enjoy the space. I try to keep things light but this is your thread so … there’s always an element of randomness. Sometimes it changes course and sometimes ideas are more nuanced.
