Please, "guys", let's not go down the Yahoo gender identification road here. I'd like to think this is still a fun place!

I use guys as a generic term. I use to say gals but some women take offense. How would you like be addressed?

I think I would assume Puddles was a guy. I appreciate UKLauren, Queen of Clubs, Sarah and Gypsylady. They’re all sassy and sweet, and they put up with us old guys stuck in traditional masculinity. Masculinity is under attack these days. I think families were more stable when men were men, so it’s nice to hang out in a forum where you don’t have to walk on eggshells.

My DIL’s sister is a lesbian. She’s married. She was pregnant about 3 years ago and my sweet wife innocently asked if they knew the sex. She got a stern lecture on how gender is determined after birth, Yada, Yada, Yada.

Its hard for us old people. We only had blue or pink cigars for birth announcements.

To help sidestep the gender issue, I had my screen name (Hummingbird Nut) changed over to my registered name (Bonnie Storm). Really, it does seem to help!

We don't have an HR dept. per se. Management won't allow customers in our shop, not for insurance purposes, but so they won't hear what we say in the shop all day.

If we had an HR dept., there probably wouldn't be a single technician left in the dealership.
