I hate when...

...people that I hardly know call me sweetie, honey, dearie or whatever instead of asking me my name, and let's not forget the ones who add a "Y" to the end of your name, in another effort of familiarity and cutseyness, which is not or ever will be your name and not even your parents or siblings still address you as such if at anytime in your history had actually been.
I have a tendency to call them that condescending nickname back at them or other term of inappropriate endearment too to get even or just state my name and their given name with no funny business since most of the people I am referring to are wearing a name tag with their preferred  moniker to be called by.
Come on people if you are in business of any kind act professionally!
I'm not your family, or personal new best buddy, we just met, and I am either a client, customer or patient, but many separations of knowing you at all too .
Intimacy is for spouses and family and true friends for years and years, perhaps twenty or more.
Oh I don't know ... I just cringe when people I hardly know do that! 
Since I do not!
And I was a business woman for over thirty years, and never ever called my employees or my customers/clients, words of inappropriateness.

Moving on...

Yes, I call Hubby by his given name in the shortened form he prefers, but we have known each since 1967 and have been married since 1971, which more than meets my criteria two times over and he is related, although just  by marriage, ours, ha! When we were young and dating I did add that "Y" to his name, but we became very close very fast truly! 

Moving on once more...
Again we  are in a wait and see mode with the threat of a tropical storm Erika heading right at us or perhaps not; it first was thought to be a category one hurricane when it entered our cone of uncertainty, but has been down graded to tropical storm maybe... if it goes more westerly it may be gone from us and into the Gulf of Mexico, or wind sheared by the mountainous islands south of here. So as with all these things it is best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

So we will...that is Hubby will, gas tank is full,we are waterfront property so we are the first to be evacuated with our nine foot elevation. And we upped our insurances from the last direct hit in 2004, and of course we still have wind and flood, fire, theft, sink hole etc.insurances.
Even our boat and car are appropriately insured, so we can evacuate with all that info and pictures too, the befores.
Food and water for three to five days, for us and Gus, medications
clothes, and bedding, doggy toys and his bed too!
Board games, books, radios, with cell towers possibly down; old school entertainment will be a welcome distraction.
Don't forget to waterproof priceless family pictures or take with as well as other important documentations. 

Medical update: I am still numb, leg and arm wise and eyes are in  and out. Numbness great for my Copaxone shots but scary just the same, pain is a constant, so I am taking another Gabapentin and extra strength Tylenol by instructions.

Weather update: storm surge for us is possible! Monday.

On these notes allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your
blessings and share all those overages with you  know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear! 

 PS: My dad is probably rolling over in his grave saying I told you not to say  "HATE", about anything, instead say that you "don't like." (Or better yet find something that you do like in any given situation.)
Okay "I don't like when..." My subtitle, a compromise, okay Dad?
