What Do You Say When You See Someone?

Who knew this factoid, though it does make sense...

So unless you plan on calling me, don't plan on me responding with a "hello!"  It would not be appropriate.  Something more along the lines of, "Get the hell off my foot!" might be the reaction you get.  Or maybe "WTF?!?!?!"

Just sayin...

"Salve" or "Ciao".

ETA at the phone we say "Pronto" that means " I'm ready".

Believe it or not I have lovely manners irl, most of the time.  I chew quietly and with my mouth closed, I apologize profusely when I accidentally shove someone off of a curb, I remove my opera gloves before shaking hands with heads of state and the Pope...but at no other time.

But I am sure my sainted mother is glad she never lived to hear how rude I am when I answer the phone.  I have two greetings and you can tell my mood by which one I use:

"This is Buffy*"  I'm in a good mood.  I took the time to speak an entire sentence fragment to you...clearly welcoming.  If you insist on saying hello or asking how I am I will sigh and humor your need for insipid niceties.

"Buffy*"  Clipped tone - get to it.  Ask me how I'm doing and you will get a "fine - you? what do you need?" in rapid fire which allows no time for you to answer indicates I don't care how you are and am annoyed at the intrusion.

*Although I do use my actual name - although I'm thinking if I start using Buffy maybe people will get confused and stop calling me.  Something to think about.

      If I were her neighbor I'd assume a hoarder lived there based on the porch, even if the crap cluttering it up frequently changed.

      I think Joy is one of the siblings that was critical of Jill when she pulled away from the family the way she did, and they may not have much of a relationship right now. Don’t see any interaction on social media, though I know we don’t see everything. That would be a shame if that was the case, especially since Jill was there for Joy when Joy lost Annabelle.

      It's also possible Joy was there and requested not to be photographed.

      That was a dreadfully extreme reaction and yes therapy needing or she's among the 1 percent of most selfish people on earth.  Joy has PPD and is getting therapy.  I can see where she mighht not go to the funeral, but support Jill in other ways.

      "Very thoughtful and intentional updates".  That's a load of bullshit.  She wanted her kitchen redone and they were willing to spend six months in a rental to have it just like Braggie wanted it.  If she'd really put thought into it, she would have arranged the kitchen so that it was more child-friendly.  She could have actually had the kitchen designed so it would be easier to prep for meals and clean up afterwards.  I see nothing like that.  It's just new knobs, distressed painting, and old furniture.   (That distressed green door is making me nuts.)  Where are the pull-outs for pan storage?  What about, you know, rounding the damn corners so your little boys aren't always cracking their skulls on the corners as they skid around the kitchen?  What about comfortable seating?  What about a pantry that's closer to the kitchen counter?  What about making the daily dinnerware easier to put away and not using shelves in the kitchen to display your mismatched bowls and cups?  And why is there a bandanna hanging right near a stove burner?

      Didn't she call them "twinbies" as a portmanteau for twin babies? Those are not babies anymore and haven't been for a while. I'm probably just being BEC about this but I do wonder if they'll be babied for as long as Janessa Rodrigues is.

      Yes, they will.  The girls are twinsies and the boys are twinbies.  Abbie thinks that's cute.  She mentioned in a story yesterday that she had to clean some poopy diapers so the boys are nearly four and she still isn't toilet training them.  They will stay babies for a couple more years.
