Yeah, I was kind of surprised at how irritated it made me. At least he's not talking to me. But really, buddy, join the 21st century. She has a name.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My husband calls people "sweetie" all the time and I cringe every time. I've tried to explain the condescension part to him but he does. not. get. it. He thinks he's being friendly. It is so embarrassing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I call children sweetie when I don't know them.

Everyone here calls everyone else 'love' or 'duck' or 'sweetheart' or a multitude of other names. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I find myself doing it sometimes.

I call childen "bunny" sometimes. Luckily it comes across as "buddy" which is more acceptable.
Question of the day: do you regularly use perfume, soap, or something else to scent yourself? Why or why not? If so, what?
I use lemon verbena soap but I don't think it clings very much. I never got into the habit of wearing perfume, and don;t really notice it on others unless it's very strong, in which case off-putting. (Especially college men who seem addicted to the Axe body spray).

I wear Shalimar most every day because I pretty much love it to death.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

In my neighborhood, everyone calls everyone else "baby", "darlin'", "doll", "sweetie", "momma", etc. But - we all know each other. Or we're bartending.

I was called "flower" by a bus driver in Sheffield. It was sort of charming, if odd.
ETA: describe the smell of Shalimar, Trudy. What do you like about it?

I used to wear perfume but now most smells bother me. They sort of tickle my nose in a way that doesn't go away.

I hate being called dear, sweetie or hun by anyone who doesn't know me.
I don't wear scented anything because I work in a scent-free workplace. (As are most places in Halifax.)
