A southern lady --- maybe Tennessee or Kentucky --- calls me. Doesn't have any way for me to identify the machine she has, so I spend 10-15 minutes with her, answering some questions (can't remember what we talked about now). She ends the call with, "Thank you so much, baby-doll!" and hung up.
I sat there, stunned. I don't think anyone has ever called me "baby-doll" before!
