askye, yay! Glad you're better and it was worth it. Hope the new thing resolves easily.
When I was younger I got irritated at being called ma'am, but now I'm okay with it. I'd rather be respected than lusted after.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd rather be respected than lusted after.
I've never actually associated it with respect. Probably a lack of lust, but that's not the same thing.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
For an example of why it doesn't ping me as an age thing, my aunt tells her granddaughter "No ma'am" when she does something naughty.
Drank ginger tea. Chatted with cute girl on OKC, there will likely be coffee. Bed now.

Katie, your stuff is beautiful. I wish I could see it in person.
Yay, askye! Have you taken some probitics? It could be your intestines protesting the lack of bacteria.
I dislike strangers calling me by my first name, but I have a last name that most people are unwilling tackle.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ha! I do the same with my dog! "NO SIR!" though.

The status is NOT quo.
askye, that's good about the cleared up infection. I hope you get the pain source figured out and treated soon.
Yes, this! Yay!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just emailed my parents and sister to see if they want to visit me. I could use some time away from math.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I work in a giant tower downtown.Daisy Jane, how close are you to my new building? We should try and do lunch.
Also, I've entered the wild world of OK Cupid:: wink wink :: Take a look at my profile. (maybe tell me what's wrong with it)
ETA- since moving to TX, I've been called "Sir" more in the past year, than the rest of my life combined. They are very polite down here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Growing up on (a) an Air Force Base; (b) in the South, I still "ma'am" and "sir" reflexively.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My grandmother used to get so mad at me when I was a kid because I refused to call anyone "ma'am" or "sir". Mostly because I wouldn't call HER "ma'am". I wasn't disrespectful; I was very polite. I just didn't want to.
