One Truth and a Lie
Heh.
I AM A WOMAN.
(Does that mean that I am a gay woman?)
I went to a drive through Starbucks in Chino this morning, and placed my order over the speaker. "Venti black iced tea, unsweetened."
"Yes, ma'am," came the reply.
At this point, I have to accept something about myself. I have a high voice. I don't think that I have a high voice, but I've been called "ma'am" several times in phone conversations and (in this case) in a speaker conversation. Perhaps I should start shaving my legs.
Incidentally, after repeating my order back to me, the barista announced that the price was $2.95. It seemed a bit steep, but I figured I'd correct it at the counter. Upon arriving, they were ready to give me a black iced tea, unsweetened, with lemonade. Not sure where they got that from, but apparently that lemonade is worth another buck. Must be a good business.
I AM NOT TRENDY.
In an effort to stop online explotation of children by predators, the Cyber Tip Line, in cooperation with the Ad Council, has published a list of online acronyms. One of them, HDOP, they made up themselves. Not all of these have to do with child predators, but I didn't know most of them.
