I am addressed as "Your Highness" or if you are 16th century English "My Liege". You wait for me to deign to address you first.

If not - my headsman is always available for a short cut.

Lady or gentleman? He doesn't mind.

No problem.

But why did you resurrect this pitiful thread?

i was browsing some profiles and came across someone who had posted to this thread so i took a look. i didn't know it exsisted and wanted to publically apologize to you and thought this would be the best place.

 

[bearlee]

No problem.

But why did you resurrect this pitiful thread?

No apologies from me

I use ma'am for young and old alike, well for women anyway. It's a manners thing I was learned as a kid I guess and I'll continue doing it. What's this thread about anyway

Hey! Long time no see!

And here you are, stirring up trouble!



(I'm off to check out your blog.)

Don't check the blog-I forgot my name-I think-and password and it died a long time ago

Not doing much of anything ma'am! Thinking about amputating my hands before the 31st to cut down on drinking, working and stuff-not much else. Oh, well, trying to figure out how to reformat audios so I can submit two Dawn did but the site won't take the old-fashioned way. I've been working on that for a couple months now-well, thinking about working on it anyway.

Sounds as if the two of you have been very busy.

I like that thinking about working thing. I've been doing the same thing about writing.

Well, there's plenty to do. I'm on page 804 of a story about a young newlywed wife getting humiliated by her husband's dirty old boss, then their dirty old landlord and their dirty pervert old neighbor. The boss is 70, the landlord is 75 and the neighbor, well he's 80. Now all of these people are ugly, short and skinny, well the old fucks are anyway. The newlywed wife is only 26 and her husband is 28. There's other stuff but you get the idea. I've only got about 15 minutes into so far but I figure by the time I'm done I'll have more than 300 hours into it. But get this, I'm getting 80 bucks American for it which is enough, if I walk, to go to the Chicago Lit thing even though I'm not from Chicago, don't really know where it's at although I think I've heard of it. It's in the mountains somewhere I guess. Sounds like a good time

You're all mad.

In Scotland we get around the problem by calling everyone 'Jimmy'.

As in:
'How's it hangin', Jimmy?' Asking after someones health
'Hey, Jimmy!' Calling for someone's attention
'Fukoff, Jimmy.' -Asking someone to leave
'D'ya wan a Glasgae hanshake, Jimmy?' A warning, offering to give someone a headbut.

I thought a Jimmy was slang for someone's dick.

No?

You would not get very far in Scotland.

*snort*

I was standing in line at the local supermarket today to pick up some beer. Behind me I hear a quiet little voice asking "Ma'am can you move to the side a little? Ma'am? Ma'am?"

At the last rather emphatic Ma'am I turned to see who was being spoken to and was confronted b some tean aged guy working for the store trying to reach past me to get a handbasket.

When he saw my beard he started blushing and stammering. I took pity on him and handed him the basket while several other people started laughing. The older lady behind me was bent over and gasping from her laughter. Finally she straightened up and looking at me told me it must have been my Pony Tail that threw him. She then made the comment that maybe I should cut my hair and look a bit more respectable.

I looked at her and made the comment that he must have been a virgin and a victim of our education system's Absitnance Programs if he couldn't tell the difference between from behind between a fairly shaggy guy and a cute young thing with a shapely ass. (I don't have that problem by the way.) She turned as red as he did and the rest of the people in the line started laughing again.

Oh, aren't you a love?

Thank you, beautiful, but I already have a few of my own.

You probably have a different take on the word 'few' from me.

Just to get into the spirit of the thread, I got asked for my senior's card for the first time recently.

When I worked in retail, I had a woman scream at me for giving her a seniors discount a couple years too early for her age. Most people would take any reduction in price, accidental or not. But not her. Scream scream scream...

Oh, THAT sucks.

My poor dad - he was completely bald at a very young age. So for most of his adult life he looked older than he really was. He was mistaken for a grandparent for his kids at times.

But now? Now he's a very young 70-something, he looks better than most men his age, and is quite the social butterfly. And yes, my mother would like to kick his ass.

LOLOL

My father is a wonderful 70 years old this year. He looks, according to many of his neighbors, to be in his late 40's. People trying to keep up with him accuse him of being in his early 30's. (He lifts weights on a daily basis and runs five miles a day.)

A couple of years ago he and my mother went on an extended vacation. They drove to Alaska and back. Along the way my father took a short detour and hiked the Chilkoot Pass, both ways. It took him four days.

This year he has already informed my wife and myself that he expects us to come north in the summer. Why? Because he wants me to accompany him on a little trip. He hasn't decided yet which one it is going to be, but he has narrowed it down to three. Denali National Park, The Yukon or a short hike along the ridges of the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. All three sound like fun to me.
