I only recently moved here, and I seem to get called "hon" (S. Jersey) and "doll" (North Jersey) a lot--by my dentist, guys at toll booths, cashiers, and just about anyone with a certain amount of gray hair. I don't really mind, but would like to know if it is my appearance (about 6 yrs < my age) or my accent (pure Midwest) or what. Pat Carstensen houxa!homxa!hok382 (new address)
