    Are you a Military wife?

    It's the same in Canada. If you're on base, there is a store called the Canex which sells anything and everything a soldier could need - If you're deployed or in the field, they make sure to supply you with basic ablutions like toilet paper. I agree, stress happens, but it is not an excuse to...

    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    Wow, this is turning into a great discussion! I think so! Vintage hearkens back to an era people associate with glamour, manners, lady-likeness and such. Punk and "scene" kids are automatically associated with delinquency. (Funny, in my punk days, once people started speaking to me, they'd...

    Oh, the humanity

    Oh boy, would that have been a sight to behold! Terrific story, Marc! As for drinking pee, I'd rather not at all lol

    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    I've been working in retail since I was 14. I started getting "the lady" at 16 - Come to think of it, it was around the time I was promoted to customer service at the grocery store I'd worked at for 2 years. That's probably the only time I wished I hadn't been promoted. But that was...

    Oh, the humanity

    Yeah, I hate that stuff. It's like drinking weak pee. I wonder how many people came out to lick the pavement?

    Are you a Military wife?

    On the news tonight, there was a story on a mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. Twelve people died, including one of the shooters, and another 31 are injured. Fort Hood is the largest US military base in the world. I sincerely hope nobody's hubby or family was hurt, if they were stationed...

    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    I suppose! I'm used to those, though. lol "Miss" is my preferred nomenclature. "Young lady" is okay with me. People who know me usually start calling me C-dot, my last name shortened. Maybe I should change it to Ma'am and get it over with.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Ever since I could speak, I never called a friend's parent by their first name unless expressly asked to, usually after getting to know them very well! Children calling their parents by their names blows my mind. They sound like work colleagues :confused: My parents would have given me a...

    What is your favorite retro look on a handsome man?

    Oooo nooo, it's perfect as is. How romantic! <3 I have a pounce picture too, but the goof held me up by the bum, so I can't post lol

    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    You're right. I visited Savannah, Georgia for a few days last summer. I found the place beautiful and the people extremely polite. They called just about everyone Sir and Ma'am lol A charming part of the culture. Northern culture usually yields Ma'am to old people, so it's tough to hear the...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Me either, its disrespectful. In high school and college for me, it was Sir or Miss, and Dr. if they were PhD. One girl I knew got suspended for insistently calling a Physics teacher "Gary." Perish the thought!

    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    "...And this kid - well, he wasn't even a kid, he was 21 or 22 years old - calls me Ma'am. Ma'am!" Ladies, when did you get your first "Ma'am"? I've been getting it left, right, and centre lately, from service people, teenagers, and men of all ages. I'm not old enough to be called Ma'am...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Exactly! It's the same as being addressed as "man" or "dude". Try again, bucko. I abhor "yo". One day, some fresh little punk coming up to me with a huge grin and exclaiming "YO!" will awaken my murderous inner potential.

    What is your favorite retro look on a handsome man?

    Two words: Service uniforms. I'm biased (Obviously ^ :D ), but theres something about a man in GI's!

    USPS Rates Go Up in January

    Very clever! I should get a group of Canadians together and form one. The one thing I will say for the USPS is it compares favourably to Canada Post. It can be faster, and it delivers on Sunday! I'm sorry to hear our vendors have been hurt :(

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    I agree, it does cheapen the profession. People stereotype attorneys by the greasy man on the TV, pointing his fat finger and exclaiming: "I don't get paid until YOU do!" When I announced that I would be going into law at my high school graduation, someone said to me: "You aren't going to be...

    Ditto! I have tremendous trouble getting those with Victory rolls. Beautiful! :eusa_clap I know I post too much on here, but I'm so gosh-darned excited to try all the styles in Vintage Hairstyling. Lauren Rennells, you're my hero! This is "The Homemaker" (pay no attention to my face, I'm...
