I ...I am still trying to figure out how to follow. I suppose that I need to get a techie person to assist me, since I have not been successful, thus far. I like to give "permission" for folks to use my first name. Friends of my older daughter, who are now grown, have that nod. I don't love it when total strangers invade that space. But then, I am not happy when people who are less than 10 years younger than I am, say "Yes, Mam!" That seems to be a sign of respect for those who are significantly younger. . .another generation! Just personal preference, I suppose!Y'all Spoken Herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06789036712832627008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-15783115675805477662008-09-24T08:49:00.000-04:002008-09-24T08:49:00.000-04:00I loved this post!

I am 27 years old and a single mom of a 5 year old girl and I'm trying to instill the southern Belle in her (her name is Isabella, so...). I love the idea of one Belle-ah...."my name is Ann but you can call me Victoria Elizabeth for short!" That is hilarious! Or you could just say, That is Queen Belle to you.

It's just plain rude, in my opinion, and shows a lack of respect for their customers.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading about your favorite things and you've inspired me to do a post on mine sometime.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>JanieSouthern Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451320470435065945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-13654798422116455742008-09-22T14:40:00.000-04:002008-09-22T14:40:00.000-04:00Yeah.

He thinks it should be by his last name. It is hard--I don't care either way except I think teachers should ALWAYS be called by their last name. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm only 35!Mad About Plaid Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715500017425149040noreply@blogger.com
