To start off an email with dear so and so does give respect but it's a bit formal for most westerners. I think what Dobe and others are referring to is when dear or honey or sweetie is used instead of a someone's name. Hope this helps
For the most part I don't think much about what people say to me but I've always been bothered by people who don't keep their promises. I also feel more loved by things people do for me rather than the words they speak. Words can be lies but actions aren't.
You're right Jim. After smoking for many years it wrinkles the skin in a manner not found in non smokers. It also yellows the teeth and fingernails. My daughter was amazed at a recent trip to Walmart when I told her as we were leaving that our checker was a smoker. I told her that's what she'll look like in 20 years.
As a respiratory therapist for 27 years now I have seen many many people die from heart disease, lung cancer, and COPD related to cigarette smoking. While it is true that everyone will die sooner or later, it is a horrific way to die gasping for each breath.
I kept my ex husbands name for the reasons listed by 22W00, but also because I had no real attachment to my maiden name ( my father's name). I did not know my father well. I also figured if I ever got married again I would just take my new husbands name but that doesn't seem to be a possibility any time soon.
My ex husband was bothered by this at first but seems to have gotten over it.
I was about 17 when I visited Boston and the place that i remember most was Faneuil Hall marketplace. I sat on the steps and watched a few street performers and really enjoyed the vibe. But then again I was quite young and it was summer about 1980 or so.
I have been friends with Indian men I have met here for over a year. Some sre good, honest men, and some are looking for marriage so they can gain citizenship to another country.
