Do you ever feel like manners are in danger of extinction? People talking to you, but not looking your way… or you open the door for someone, and they don’t say Thank You? I mean, do people even send Thank You cards anymore?

Here are 5 manners we should constantly put into practice…

1. Always say “Please” and “Thank You”. Maybe people won’t notice your manners, but they definitely will of you DON’T.

2. Hold the door open for others. If you’re walking into a place, and there is someone behind you, let them go first. You don’t have to be a man to do this, and ALWAYS do this for elderly people.

and with that…

3. Most of us grew up with our parents saying: “Always respect your elders”. You don’t here people say that too often anymore. Don’t let this one die, respecting elders is something that should be hard-coded into everyone. Just remember… we will all be an elder one.

4. Write a “Thank You” note. Yet another quality in extinction, ESPECIALLY with Social Media. It’s in your hands… don’t… let… this… die…

5. Don’t chew with your mouth open. It’s an obvious rule, but some people don’t know it’s not polite to smack your lips while eating. (I Hate when people slurp their food too!)

These were just 5 manners of many. I think the most important part of manners, and not letting them go extinct, is teaching our children the same manners our parents/ relatives/ family taught us growing up.

Thank you.

If you cooked dinner on Saturday night, apparently you should consider yourself LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

A new study found the most dangerous time to be home is 6:30 P.M. on Saturday.

That’s when the most accidents happen . . . and the theory is it’s because people are cooking dinner while they’ve got a few DRINKS in them.

The study also found the kitchen is the most dangerous room in the house . . . 63% of injuries happen there.

55% of us have hurt ourselves cooking . . . and 10% of us have accidentally started a fire.

Facebook just unveiled a cool new feature. Not because of what it does . . . but because for once it doesn’t seem creepy or invasive. (Maybe they didn’t appreciate the app TimeHop pulling us away from Facebook).

It’s called “On This Day,” and it’s simple: It shows your posts and photos from the same date in previous years.

You can check it out by going to facebook.com/onthisday . . . but they’re rolling it out to different people at different times, so you may not have access to it quite yet.

Now, you might remember back when Facebook rolled out a “Year in Review” feature . . . and some people blasted them for including photos of past relationships and even friends who died.

So they’ve learned . . . and created a special algorithm for “On This Day” that filters out posts and photos that might show you things you don’t necessarily WANT to be reminded of.

The world is passing you by while you fumble around trying to take a picture of it for Instagram.

A new survey found 58% of people say their desire to post the perfect photo on social media has had a negative effect on their life . . . it’s ruined vacations, affected their kids, and sometimes even led them to do bizarre or dangerous things.

75% admit they’ve done something RUDE to get a picture for social media . . . and 14% have even risked their own safety.

In other words, your obsession with the perfect social media post is ruining your life.

JOHNNY DEPP is #1 on a new list of “The 20 Most Overrated Actors of Our Time,” which isn’t surprising since he’s been in a HUGE slump at the box office . . . including his last movie, “Mortdecai”, which has been described as one of his “worst flops ever.”

The rest of the list includes actors who are either still coasting on reputations that are no longer deserved, or who never deserved those reputations in the first place.

Also, no one made the list because of ONE misstep. They had to be “repeat offenders” in failing to deliver the goods. And of course the “failures” are subjective, and are not directly linked to box office numbers or critics’ opinions. Here’s the list:

1. Johnny Depp

2. Liam Neeson

3. Angelina Jolie

4. Robert Downey Jr.

5. Meryl Streep

6. Ben Stiller

7. Melissa McCarthy

8. “Twilight” stars Kristen Stewart
and Robert Pattinson

9. Cameron Diaz

10. Jason Bateman

11. Nicole Kidman

12. Will Smith

13. Seth Rogen

14. Sam Worthington

15. “Harry Potter” stars Emma Watson
and Daniel Radcliffe

16. Mark Wahlberg

17. James Franco

18. Liam Hemsworth

19. Rosamund Pike

20. Eric Bana

They also provided this list of “The Five Most Underrated Actors Right Now”:

1. Emily Blunt
2. Jake Gyllenhaal
3. Emma Stone
4. Miles Teller
5. Hugo Weaving

(The list comes from Australia’s “Herald Sun” newspaper. They have write-ups on all 20, explaining why they’re overrated, along with the chances that they’re able to turn it around.)

The original Woodstock in 1969 had a STACKED lineup, so it seems like it would’ve cost a fortune pay the bands . . . even if you consider that many of them are more well-known now than they were then.

A list of the fees paid to each act has been circulating on the Internet for a while now. JIMI HENDRIX got $18,000, which was the most. That seems like a bargain, but when you adjust it for inflation, it would’ve been more like $115,000.

Here’s a list of what each artist earned . . . along with the amount it would be in TODAY’S dollars:

1. Jimi Hendrix, $18,000 then, which is roughly $115,000 now

2. Blood, Sweat & Tears, $15,000 . . . $95,000 now

3. Joan Baez and Creedence Clearwater Revival, both at $10,000 . . . $63,000 now

5. The Band, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, and Sly and the Family Stone, all at $7,500 . . . $48,000 now

9. Canned Heat, $6,500 . . . $41,000 now

10. The Who, $6,250 . . . $40,000 now

11. Richie Havens, $6,000 . . . $38,000 now

12. Arlo Guthrie and Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, both at $5,000 . . . $32,000 now

14. Ravi Shankar, $4,500 . . . $28,500 now

15. Johnny Winter, $3,750 . . . $24,000 now

16. Ten Years After, $3,250 . . . $20,000 now

17. Country Joe and the Fish, $2,500 . . . $16,000 now

18. Grateful Dead and Incredible String Band, both at $2,250 . . . $14,000 now

20. Mountain and Tim Hardin, both at $2,000 . . . $12,700 now

22. Joe Cocker, $1,375 . . . $9,000 now

23. Sweetwater, $1,250 . . . $8,000 now

24. John B. Sebastian, $1,000 . . . $6,300 now

25. Melanie and Santana, both at $750 . . . $5,000 now

27. Sha Na Na, $700 . . . $4,500 now

28. Keef Hartley, $500 . . . $3,100 now

29. The New England psychedelic rock band Quill, $375 . . . $2,400 now

That entire collection of talent cost more than $141,000 in 1969, which comes to $896,000 today. That doesn’t include the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Bert Sommer . . . because their paydays are unknown.

It also doesn’t include Iron Butterfly, who were supposed to receive $5,000 plus another $5,000 for their light show . . . because they never showed.

The inflated numbers make the amounts more relevant, but it was still a bargain. Music festivals today definitely spend WAY more than that, and most of them won’t be remembered one year later, let alone 45-plus years and counting.

Coachella doesn’t release any official numbers, but they reportedly spend several million on their headliners each year, and they have well over 100 acts on the bill. In 2008, they supposedly got Prince for $2 million.

Although, like Woodstock, the smallest bands are probably earning less than they paid to get there.

A new study found the HAPPIEST age of your life is . . . 34. So if you’re younger than that, it gets better. And if you’re older . . . sorry, it’s all downhill from here.

It’s because a lot of good things converge for the average person at 34: Getting married, having kids, making some good strides in your career, some financial security, buying a house, and really starting to appreciate life.

Overall, 47% of people say their life has been mostly happy so far . . . 43% say it’s been a mix of good times and rough times . . . and 10% say it’s been mostly BAD.

The study also found the top things that make people happy through each decade of their lives. Check ‘em out . . .

The happiest things about your 20s are: You’re young and physically fit . . . you have fewer responsibilities . . . you’re happiest with how you look . . . you get married . . . and your whole family is still around.

The happiest things about your 30s are: You have children . . . you’re in love . . . you’re able to enjoy the “finer things in life” . . . you travel . . . and you start making truly smart decisions.

The happiest things about your 40s are: You feel comfortable with yourself . . . you have an excellent family life . . . you’re in love . . . you have a great time with your children as they grow up . . . and you get some “me time” back.

The happiest things about your 50s are: You’re comfortable financially and emotionally . . . work starts winding down . . . you pay off your mortgage . . . you do a lot of traveling . . . and you become a grandparent.

The happiest things about your 60s and beyond are: You finally retire . . . you’re able to travel as much as you want . . . you have time to focus on your hobbies . . . you have freedom from work . . . and you truly appreciate your entire life.
