re: woman, girl, whatever

dancinglights brought up the term "lady" and its uses, and I made a remark myself in a comment to someone else about how I thought maybe people just used my name rather than a generic term if they needed to refer to me, but it actually does make me curious what word or words other people might use for me. Out of the following choices I think I would mostly use "girl" for myself (although as mentioned, I think I may be growing out of it). You?

Well, "pushing 40" and "almost 30" are two entirely different things. LOL

Yes, but my mother is another 25 years older than you are, so that means the difference between you and me is only 2/7 the difference between me and her -- thus, it doesn't feel all that big to me.
