That is the question.

I say: Booey.

And I plan to call you "Booey" until you snap at me in irritation and say, "It's not Booey!" and then I'll be down to two.

You would, too. So I'll just tell you that my brother was Booey. I'll have to ask my sister (Sissy--creative!) if she knows where it comes from; I don't think it was from me warping brother. (My cousin called my mother "Tatante" her whole life since every time she came over my aunt would say "Ta tante arrive" or something similar).

It always possible that she had a weird nickname.

That's what I figured.

Now, she just says that everyone has it hard (with the implied "get over it")

You know, Vortex, your observation kept resonating with me at odd times today and all of a sudden, that hallway scene with Peggy from earlier in the season (the second ep, I think, when Paul had the party at his apartment) popped into my head.

How she so coolly dismissed the guy and went home alone. Maybe the first inkling, in a manner of speaking, that she'd regained/taken some measure of control-- or at least was trying. Maybe that scene with Pete was the final hurdle for her.

Or it's entirely possible I'm overthinking, as usual.

My neighbors had a beagle named Tippy.

I went to university with a girl named Fufi ("foo-fee"). Real name Jane. She preferred Fufi. Her sister's were Punky and Minnow.

I could swear they were calling Betty's sister-in-law something like Trooby. weird.

I thought they were saying Tutti.
