Ladies is nice but normal sounding. I think I prefer "women" in more general usage.... but really ladies, girls, women...all good. And "heyyyy ladies" so made me think of Dazed & Confused with Matthew McCounaughey.
Panties are what you buy in Victoria Secrets - and it is fine to call them such. Just don't refer to my underwear as "bloomers" and you are good with me.
Ladies for plural and general is good - calling me a lady is a bit weird - makes me think of Jerry Lewis - "Hey, pretty Lady!!"
But the biggest offense is using "M'am" when I am still CLEARLY a "Miss."
No one who looks younger than 80 should be "M'amed." Makes me want to slap those silly high-school boys at the register counter every time.
And you need to tell poor G4 that you can only manage friendship right now, with anyone (you don't have to point out when you start dating that you aren't dating her - she'll figure it out).
Hey, it isn't just the high school boys, it is the girls too! What do we look ancient? Makes me want to take my just bought knickers and put them on their heads!!
I also didn't think I would start a "lady" debate but fun to watch and hear.

See what I mean? it's all relative. If you ask a sourthern girl she'll tell you how a guy tipping his cowboy hat and saying "Ma'am!" to her is like the best feeling. I lived in the south for a few looooong months lol, I know what I'm talking about.

When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go; And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving slow; Go ask Alice... I think she'll know.
cat03, thanks for stopping by. Gardener got it! I changed my name not too long ago and wow have things changed since LOL. No problem and if you need help with that stuff feel free to ask.
Alice, I hope you had a good weekend! Mine was good, it was DD's b.day so it was busy busy but it went well. STBXW came over to pack up her belongings and then we went out to celebrate, dinner, cake etc. STBXW baked the cake and I decorated the house. STBXW will be doing a party for her on Sat. DD's attitude changed quite a bit after her b.day. She's just happier. I don't know if it was because of her b.day, the presents and all or if it was because she saw STBXW and I together which may have ignited a hope? I hope it's not the latter.
I hope things are well with everyone!!
