Name etiquette

What is up with this Southern tradition of calling adults by their first name?   Why is it ok to introduce me to a child as Mr. Scott or Coach Scott?  (btw Scott is my first name)   When I was growing up, I was always taught to call an adult by the proper salutation of Mr. [...]

I have some good news and some bad news

I LOVE pasta!!! In fact I’m eating some now.  I’d eat it every day if I could but it’s biggest drawback is that it’s 100% carbs. Well here’s the good news, I just saw a commercial for new pasta called Barilla Plus. It’s got quite a bit of protein and [...]

The best news I’ve heard in a long time

Dunkin Donuts is coming to Birmingham!!
It’s one of the few things I miss most since I moved down here.  I know all you native southerners think Krispy Kreme donuts are the best, but that’s ok (even though you’re wrong), because Dunkin Donuts has great coffee that does not cost $5/cup like Starbucks and their sandwiches [...]
