Chapter 45

As I have mentioned, Sweetie is from Australia. (and a special kind of “crazy” at times, but I love her for it.) We currently live in California, and at times I almost think it is another planet. I’m from the east coast and have lived (at one time or another) in New York, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. She works at a major medical facility, doing intake. I tease her that she is lucky that she never had to do her job in the American South because certain terms have drastically different meanings. When asked what I meant, I provided the following list of terms and definitions. (And as with many other “lists” that I post, feedback and additional information is always welcomed!)
