I practice name parity. If a Doctor insists on being called Dr. Lastname, then I am Ms. Lastname. It's not equal to let the doctor call me by my first name. BTW, super fast wordle today.

I've noticed an odd fad lately. If someone asks, "how are you?" And I answer anything negative, the person says, "That's okay." Obviously, no it's not.
