Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

hate Comcast so much that I refuse to deal with them, even for internet, so I'm stuck with CenturyLink DSL which is its own special kind of hell.

The Comcast thing is being shelved so M can be the heavy - though we're kind of stuck with the needing of the 150 mbps, what with the DirecTV and the graphic design gigs.

Even with DirecTV, I refuse to deal with Comcast, at all. They keep sending people to try to do door to door sales in my neighborhood too, so I routinely get to tell them that I think their company is the devil.

Who do you use for internet, Lee?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I use kiddo, but usually in direct address, not in reference. ie: "Aw, kiddo, I'm sorry." But not "I'll have to ask my kiddo."

Yes. I had said something like "Thanks kiddo" to which my cousin asked if I was from a different generation (she is older than me).

I use kiddo but not for anyone over about 15?

Hmmmm, I think I use it mostly in reference to my kiddos. But now that I think about it, I'm not so sure. Definitely not to someone who I could not, agewise, be anywhere to close to being their parent. But I'd say under 20? Eeep. Now I'm going to be self conscious.

Sophia, that restaurant is mighty confused. Clue-by-four time?

Zen, I hope your bank figures their crap out quickly. I've had that happen before, due to a fraud alert that no one notified me of and I found out when my card was rejected everywhere. Hopefully there is a simple resolution.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hugs to all who want/need them.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I use kiddo on occasion. I'm not around actual kids that often, or I might use it more.

I'm sorry about people's work, IT, and banking stresses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't put my finger on who it is, but I have had a relationship with someone who calls me kiddo as an adult. A woman in her 60s. I have no idea who!

I don't know that I use kiddo but it sounds perfectly natural to me and I wouldn't blink at it being used towards anyone regardless of age, relative or absolute, really.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Lee, what speed are you getting through AT&T?

AT&T is what I have been tempted to switch to (mostly due to the incessant DirecTV and AT&T are One ads, but it does seem like the synergy has some benefits for consumers)
