Have you ever spoken to them of end of life or death? Even in the context of seasons/ flowers?

Reply to LPT: If you have young children you should teach them your phone number as early as 4 years old. However long it takes- using picture cards or any other learning tricks, you should make them memorize it. That way if they ever get lost etc., they can ask a store employee to call you. by v-shizzle
I taught him 911 and my name, that's all they really need bc I'm no longer fkn invisible

Reply to LPT What is the greatest cause of weight gain? Excess sugar or salt? by SuccessfulManifests
Honestly, move more, eat less, especially fats, salt, and sugars. All of those will bloat you but you just have to take in less than you burn for a while to lose fat. Good luck!

Your sleep needs to be consecutive hours, not broken into segments bc inevitably something will come up and you won't get your second segment. I've worked nights off and on for many years, and that's the best tip. Be strict about others not disturbing you. Otherwise, same as others have said, blackout curtains, white noise, DND on your phone.

My former BIL knew I worked nights but would call anyway, and if I didn't answer he'd call repeatedly until I did. Asshat

Only suggestion would be to add "i don't see why" to your examples, I don't see why you deserve my attention, I don't see that it's any of your business, etc. Extra polite but also super backhand insulting, thank you for your input but I don't see why...

Based on you saying there are two forms of address, I think you may be Asian? Apologies, but I know several languages have professional and friend/ family ways of communicating. In English, we basically use the same for all but there are more professional ways to address someone you don't know or a coworker, etc. Basically, please and thank you, along with "may I" when asking permission or to be granted something a little out of the ordinary will go a tremendous way to being polite. I think the fact that you're asking these questions says a lot about you as a person that you want to be considerate. Best wishes and happy travels!

Perfectly polite response and request! Just the right wording with someone you don't know.

You'd be surprised how many children are not taught about death. When my MIL died, one 8 yo was not allowed to attend the funeral bc she was "too young"
