I'M OLD!!!

star trek?its not based on real military regs fully. I can watch any episode and point out errors in the ucmj .

the last being that episode that claudya pointed out. one wouldn't take on known pirates and not place them in the brig and let alone allow officers to flirt with them and not be punished for a mutiny.
 
I like the fact that so many of us use terms like "ma'am" or "sir" just as terms of respect. What I DON"T like is the misuse of "gentleman" by news reporters, or anyone, really, who doesn't know what else to call a criminal. As in, "The police arrived at the scene to find a woman lying bloodied and unmoving. They placed the gentleman who admitted beating her unconscious under arrest."

Gentleman? Really?

The personal title for boys is "Master". Other personal titles include: young man, young lady, young fellow (pronounced 'fella') and, of course, Mister, Miss, Master & Mistress. The personal title "Ms" (pronounced Miz) did not come into use until the 20th century.

Ms Kathi: Oh I guess I mean that trends are in then out then in again. Hemlines since 1965 have been up and down and up like a yo-yo, etc. You mention no back in dresses: this was actually very 19th century; same with your comment about necklines.

(But what do I know?) :)

Blessings.
 
So I'm not very old obviously, but I can still remember what it was like before we had cell phones and tablets and constant access to the internet.
As a kid I could only spend so much time on the internet before getting bored. Now I'm on it for probably at least 80% of my free time. ... what if I spent as much time with God as I did the internet?:chin

The reason I asked is because most of those Texas boys are raised with Ma'am, it's just polite.
One of our friends from Brownville called the other day, I hadn't spoken with him in about 3 yrs. He's older than me by about 6 or 7 yrs. and I've known him 25.
"Ms. Deb, how are you doing Ma'am." They make me smile.

Learning to quote Scripture Online is a good combination! :)

But, yes, you make a good point.

Blessings.
 
I am as old as Methusala did I spell that right ? Well to many, and I am only 58, I am ancient.
