A hundred years ago ‘Your Welcome’ was considered a laughable response to ‘Thank You.’ “I’m welcome to what?” Pluggers of the day would say. “To the thing I just paid for!?”
Lassie, Lassie, Lassie….have some prunes, take a breath, then go sit in a corner until you can express yourself more politely, if you can’t manage kindness.
I agree. “No problem” is a welcome reply if I’m asking for a favor, not if I’m expressing appreciation for a job well done. .I always have to suppress my urge to respond by saying, “No, of course it isn’t.” – but I suspect that I’d just get a blank stare in return.

I never understood the objection to “no problem”. But as with everything, different strokes for different folks.Now, no response ticks me off.

Bivalves can’t be left-handed because they don’t have hands, though I have it on good authority that clams got legs.

Finding a good price on a 100 ft of Flightline or 5 Gallons of Prop Wash is not easy!

JanCinLVThat’s the problem of wading through all those end of year alms requests. You beat me by six hours.

Isn’t left twist / right twist the difference between whelks and conchs?
