I can see you not wanting your MIL to call you by your nickname, but I can't imagine a way to tell her that without major family drama.
Right?? Blech.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...
'The Message'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

a viral sinus infection (FOR THREE FLIPPING WEEKS NOW!!)
Three weeks is usually time to see a doctor, because there's a good chance it's bacterial. Virii don't tend to last longer than 2 weeks.
What if the mucous is not a color that would signify infection?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
When Calli came to dinner on Friday (I need to post those pictures for lo! She Is Foamy and I should share), I did the B.org usual of, "Do you like [boardname] or [real name]?" And as usual, the response was, "I answer to either."
Heh. There's a kink-world version of Facebook, to which I belong. And my username there is Teppy. So now the local people in the kink scene go back and forth between calling me Steph and Teppy, and it amuses me greatly, because until now, the only people who called me Teppy in person were you guys.

Ooooh, good question! You know, I have no idea. I guess if the snot is clear, I'd give it a little more time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I read a thing a while back that the color of mucus is not a reliable diagnostic tool. Can't remember where, but since it was on the internet I assume it was true.

makes call to doctor
I'll go in tomorrow. I hate taking AB's for things other than Real* infections.
* Real as defined by me and not anyone who is actually smart: Strep, UTI's, and STD's.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm selective about who calls me what. It's hard to tell someone who's presumptively started calling you by a nickname to stop, though. Especially if you know them or work with them. They take it personally.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't like anyone calling me "Rob" and I will nip that shit in the bud. One old friend does, but only because both he and I know that it's a shortened version of "Robbie Bobbie Boo," his ACTUAL nickname for me. Hard to explain that one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Some people call me "Toddy". Once.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For weeks, my co-worker was calling me "Sunily" until I asked her to please stop. She was very sad.
