yuck, Robin. I'm sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, even "farewell" is a shortened version of be safe or take care, so it isn't a NEW phenomenon. I guess the impulse when someone leaves is to wish them well in some way.
Although I tend to say "See ya" which is basically meaningless.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
When I was in college, a friend of mine had a party, and as he was seeing people off at the end of the night, he told each of them to "Drive fast, make a lot of lane changes, and if you see any cops, flip 'em off". Now that's a farewell that means something.
Our traditional (extended) family farewell involves the following phrases:
"Sorry you could make it!"
"Next time I'll go home sooner!"
"Well, it wasn't much fun, but the food was free!"
"Drive recklessly!"
We're a rather irreverent bunch, if you couldn't tell.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think all of those sayings are a way of saying, "I like you and hope to see you again." In a friendly way.
It's just social custom.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
On the way to work today there were a lot of fireman in their uniforms along the road doing a fund drive.
That was nice.

Robin, ick. I now recall you saying something like that before. Are you even in perimenopause, or do you have unknown years and years of this ahead of you? (I don't think my mother hit menopause until her mid-50s, and I have sympathy aches at the thought of you in major monthly pain for the next 5-7 years.)

connie, much housing~ and surgery~ma to you and the DH. What a bummer.
After looking at the boots, I have decided I am accessory impaired because I can not imagine wearing those with anything. Perhaps I could get an accessorizing implant that would help with that problem. Anyone got some spare accessorization they can loan me, permanently?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"See ya" is my favorite. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I suspect that anyone saying anything else is planning on never seeing me again.
To be fair, "Have a nice day" doesn't bother me unless I'm in a particularly bad mood, but anything that's an order really bugs.

Not yet in Perimenopause. We start and end late in my family--although the doc thinks it will slowly get better as hormone production starts to wind down. Let's hope so!

Those boots would go with your tiara, I think. Alas, the boots do not come in my size, and even if they did, they would be too tall. Clicking on the link, however, did make me explore what else Zappos has to offer this week in my size for the last 10 minutes.
Robin, I hope that ibuprofen does its job.
