I have to admit, I dearly love being called Mrs. Neil. Part of it is because so many people use first names routinely that I don't get to hear it often, so it feels more like an official title than a simple name. There's a bit of gravitas to it, which I appreciate at age 52. Plus, I just realized it rhymes with Mrs. Peel.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

And because you can do the last name spelling thing, "V as in vampire."
Which makes Pete facepalm, so added bonus!

If I would have had a kid, I would have hyphenated kid's last name. It's no more cumbersome than many naming conventions that include the mother and father's last names in a child's name. Or, yanno, weirdly pronounced British last names. "Featherstonehaugh," I'm looking at you!

Get outta here! Really?
I'm generally pretty good at this sort of thing but did NOT see that coming.

When I see the long Indian names in the credits of movies, I wonder if they have to be truncated to fill out the various computerized forms people have to fill out or if the forms are scalable.

Taliaferro
Now, wait a minute. I used to know someone with this name. It was pronounced Talley-u-farrow.
Is that not right?

In happy news, I've decided to treat myself to a deep tissue Thai massage today. I expect to be in happy pain shortly.
