'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
the DigiTrace will take 10 to 14 days for the results.
Wow. That is a long time. If I can order The Magic Bullet off of my tv and be using it to create the bestest egg salad you've ever seen by the following week, results for the DigiTrace should be faster. ijs.

Isn't the Magic Bullet the Best. Thing. EVER?! Now I need a smoothie.
I used to HATE it when I was waitressing, and I’d introduce myself as Valerie, and people would automatically call me Val.A stranger calling you "Val" just seems so overly familiar. Most of the people I'm close to call me "Cin" in real life, but I don't think Strangers ever do.

Ok, I know it's wrong, wrong, wrong, but my mind does NOT go to a foodie place reading that sentence.
In Other Spring News, I put a load of laundry out on the line in the backyard. It's not a foregone conclusion that it will be completely dry before dark, but it is a strong possibility. Also? I raked a bed of flowers. I'm pretty sure I didn't savage any of the new baby tiger lilies coming up, but some of the wooden blocky things that bordered the flower bed came out. I may have roughed up some grape vines, but I think they are ok. Not a foregone conclusion that the job was done thoroughly. I think it may need another going-over. But, this is, like, the first bit of yardwork I've done here independently. Hope I didn't muck it up.
Off the top of my head I can't think of an actor or athlete or otherwise famous person who regularly goes by "Rache" but I can think of bunches of the others.
Off the top of my head I can't even think of any Rachels. However, I think the difference for me is that Sue is regarded as a "real" name, and Rache is not.
The only Rachel I know now is nicknamed Ray Ray, which is hard for us to say without smiling. But past Rachels have been Rache, and the first famous Rache that comes to mind is Jennifer Aniston's character on Friends. Which is a lot of exposure.

Right, but if someone asked you to name the characters on Friends you'd say "Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Rachel"
You wouldn't say "Rache" nor, actually, would you say "Joseph."
What my folks were trying to avoid is a social re-engineering of the given name. We were at various times called Peanut or Squirt or Concrete, but our names were what our parents had picked.

You are not alone in that place, WindSparrow. Oh no, you're not.

No doubt. My point is merely that Rache is a well-known nickname for Rachel, even though not a name in and of itself (like Joey). Rachel is by no means un-nickable. You don't need to use any originality or tricks to get to Rache, just memory. Unlike your name.
Right...I think my mother wanted that for me especially because of the cutesy stuff people do to girls' names. My mom is allergic to precious. And I can't stop laughing at her boss' granddaughter's name because it's Gage. And I'm a Pelecanos fan. So you know...name the kid Grass or Chronic while you're at it. Little baby Pot.
