    Aww... Y'all are all cooler than me! But here goes: Artist, Adjunct Instructor(college), interpretive design/exhibit design for a couple of National Parks (grant funded). And a little of this, a little of that.

    Do You Like Being Called "Hon"?

    Do You Like Being Called "Hon"?

    I *have* noticed that if someone takes offence (very rare)at my using such terms, they are Northern women, of undergrad - postgrad age. I also use terms for men/boys, too - just more masculine: Mister Man, Brother, Pal, Palsy, Jim, Hot-Shot, Cowboy, Chief, Ace, Fella, etc... For...

    Are cell phones the new pocket watch?

    If you use a wristwatch, then you can surreptitiously check the time in meetings, classes, conversations, and - if careful- no one is the wiser. Not so with a cell. Of course, with a cell many traditional manners fall by the wayside. Of course, I have a cell... but I use it for calls...

    The Declining Popularity of the Necktie

    As ever, Jeeves knows all. ``We can but wait and see, sir. The tie, if I might suggest it, sir, a shade more tightly knotted. One aims at the perfect butterfly effect. If you will permit me—'' ``What do ties matter, Jeeves, at a time like this? Do you realise that Mr Little's domestic...

    The Declining Popularity of the Necktie

    Well, Lookit.... We can point to a lot of reasons for trends away from neckties or suits or even jacket and slacks. Generally speaking - people dress to project an image, and to associate with a group. Who do people want to be like? Popular musicians (no tie, no suit), blue collar...
