      Loved Ones.

      Can't stand the phrase. It's only used on the TV on the news as far as I know. Why not say Relatives or Family? I don't know anyone that says "I'm off to see my Loved Ones".

          Not all family members are ' loved ones '.
          Have we done 'reach(ed) out ' or 'veggies' yet?

            I haven't got any of those, except Bella cat :cat-kittyandsmiley:
            I've got 'relations' but I tend to tolerate them more than love them. I never see them and seldom hear from them. That suits me fine. Friends are better, and I have lovely neighbours, and there are nice people in the art group I belong to too :smile:
            Who needs 'loved ones' ! :heehee:

              I stopped using a particular online florist because they asked me to 'reach out to us' if the bouquet I'd ordered didn't arrive on time. They sent me an online survey and I gave them both guns. Let's just say they didn't reach out to me by responding. Their loss, not mine.

                "Surrounded by their family" when somebody dies.
                Makes me think of a posse!
