Oz ,'Bring On The Night'
[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.
huh ... I use my middle name - which is a family last name - instead of my first name for everything except legal papers. Which, needless to say, causes all kinds of problems from people who can't deal with a woman having a name that's usually a man's.
In a previous job, one of our clients adamantly refused to accept that I could have that name so called me "Pat".
I get phone calls all the time asking for "Anita Crawford" and I just say there is no one here by that name and hang up.
Not to change the subject, but how long after the sell-by date is it safe to use eggs?
In general, at least a month. According to this [link] you can easily check for freshness by putting eggs in water - the ones that float are stale, and may be on the way to spoiled.
I don't think of you as your first name. It would be wierd to call you that. I mean, I know what it is, and I would be able to refer to it if necessary, but you're not that, you're Todd.

That's what I do whenever I get a call asking for "Mrs. Pete" or "Mrs. Hubs." If you want to make it that obvious to us that you're a telemarketer....
People like that mispronounce my name so badly that I can say "There's nobody here by that name," and not lie.
The boyfriend got a lot of points when he sent me an unexpected gift last week ("for being a wonderful girlfriend"): caffeine molecule earrings. But the best part was the note: it started with "to the one and only javachik,..." Since he has never really "gotten" the online forum thing, it was meaningful to me that he used "javachik".
Thank you, Andi!

Aw.
My grandmother's name was Grace Matilda.
It seems relevant for me to mention that our sporty little MG in the Sixties was named Matilda Grace for her beauty...
Now, I thought you people were Buffistas and liked to write learnedly wheresoever you got the chance. I have to tell you, I lost my bet that at least one of the Buffista visitors to the Felt Farm woulda posted something... Not that the Felt Farm is complaining, mind you. It's happy to get some attention! It's all been in storage for awhile, you see.
Have to admit: I was pronouncing Shir as "Shur" in my head and it sounded a little bit like a Valley Girl was saying it, so at least the "i" sound was short.
My life contains too many people who cannot be trained to call me Katie. No, they like using "Kate," which is perfectly nice, but Not.My.Name.
edit: At least "Kate" is better than "Kathy" for me.
