Thomas was the 8th most popular boy's name in 1950. By 1980 it had dropped to 25th most popular. Now it ranks down at No. 61.Tom at Sightingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08118442557208675758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-10506046426957717002014-05-24T05:46:19.819-04:002014-05-24T05:46:19.819-04:00I am a woman, but you can call me a man if that me...I am a woman, but you can call me a man if that means you will listen to me.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-25211918848109404302014-05-23T16:52:57.692-04:002014-05-23T16:52:57.692-04:00Just call me to dinner and NEVER call me Girly.

It gets discounts, doors are opened for me, heavy packages carried by strangers, and smiles are flashed easily my way. If I am not being called something profane, I'll answer. Gotta love it.

Born in 1949 I almost qualify for all of the descriptions. As long as no one ever has reason to call me "old and decrepit" that I will be happy. Old is OK I just always want to be active. .

Who wants some clerk calling you grandpa or grandma (unless you have a grandchild at your side). Even worse is "young lady" spoken by someone years younger than yourself.
