Good morning astorer, I believe one of the "red flags" East Ender is referring to is the fact that you and your husband aren't in the same place ...

Oh, and -- the only one I find it hard to get used to is "Good night" used as a greeting (after "evening" is over). To me that always sounds like a d...

Mike and Marty, that is so true! People in the States see this greeting as "formal" politeness. I grew up with British parents, so I was taught Good...

Well, I stand by my previous statements. Is there something specific? Not at all; just hadn't seen this kind of depth of insight lately. Island-...

Good day! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this story. It's true, by USVI standards you were rude in the beginning of the interaction, but by the end of ...
