legalmooseMarn got called "Ma'am" yesterday.
I learned long ago that one never addresses a woman, no matter her age, as "Ma'am," preferring instead the all-purpose "Miss." You can't go wrong with it, you can't inadvertently insult someone, and those women who would prefer a "Ma'am" are either greatly amused or greatly flattered. ;-)
