I got called a lot of similar-to-my names while growing up. Even got called by my mom's name more than once, and her name didn't sound at all like mine!

From now on how about we call you Felicia?

One of the reasons I hated my name as a kid.  Nobody got it right.  Curt(is), Kirt, Kert, Kirk, Kent, Carl, meh ...

I used to say you can call me anything but Sue or late for dinner.  Sigh ...

Spell folks'  names correctly.

Try not to gaslight your Mom.

For those who still have a landline and still use answering machines ...

If you can set it to answer after more than 4 rings, you will get fewer annoying robo calls.  Most stop if there is no answer after 4 rings.  They assume that there is no answering machine and will not leave a message.

That is really good stuff, during a rough period in my life I ripped out a piece of notebook paper quite unevenly and wrote in crayon "Be thank for what you do have" and in my crude style drew some white fluffy clouds, a sun and a blue backdrop. Taped it to my lamp on my nightstand by the alarm clock and it was the first thing I saw in the morning and last before slumber. This is as good as gets for good advice to be sure. Thank you, I steal now.
