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

AT&T, though I keep thinking I should look into astound

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've never seen anyone raise an eye at kiddo, except in work context where the relationship wasn't sufficient to go there.
