Adventures of a Notary Signing Agent... Previously posted elsewhere by "A Quick Note" OK, so I arrive at a very modest, older (vintage 1950's) house after dark and the house is dimly lit. I remember I'd just gotten a new prescription for my glasses and my eyes were adjusting to them... Anyways,

When I was a younger guy, I used to work with a gal from somewhere down south. Her manner of speaking soon rubbed off on those who worked around her and had me referring to women I was friendly with as "Hon" ...(short for honey). I honestly never meant it as
