Seems common with younger folks but don't know about a gm doing it. My x dil called her daughter lover all the time. Drove me nuts.
Heh I must be out of touch. I really don't "love" it at all. Maybe the etymology is changing or something and it's like what "punk" used to be in Shakespeare's time or something. LOL, my mom used to call me the "house ...." and she meant "messy" (which is an archaic meaning.)
I didn't mind the FIRST time when like, I was like, "Mom that word does not mean what you think it means." But she was insistent about it. Although, I still go "ick" but I'm glad if it's more normal that family does NOT need more problems.
Woke up late yesterday and didn't figure it out (still no clue what happened.) Woke up early today I guess that is better than late as I'm gonna pack to go home. Yay!
Yesterday was hard but not totally insane. Totally.
