I'm glad I don't get called girly. I get called Jaap Aap. That's a famous male Dutch monkey with the voice of our most famous comedian.
Yesterday I went to the Bible study from my new made Facebook friends and his wife picks me up at the train station. She says: Well Arie he says: Can you go pick up Jaap Aap?
Oh my I just couldn't stop laughing anymore.

OMM: I am finally starting to feel better!! PTL! The Lord is so good. Praise God for doctors and antibiotics. I went to the doc yesterday and it turns out I didn't have a cold but an infection. So without meds I would have just continued to go down hill.

Pretty sure I'm on the verge of an emotional meltdown. This is extremely foreign to a person like me, but even I'm not completely guarded enough from succumbing to emotions. This has been coming since the beginning of the year...and now with a mixture of recent events and particular news I'm finally very near my breaking point I think, or maybe I just underestimate myself.
Good news is - I'll get through it.
Bad news is - I accidentally revealed a snippet of this problem to my mother earlier and now I know tonight she'll sit me down and try to get to the bottom of what's wrong. ...Really? Like, we're not talking 'one' thing here, we're talking a hot mess of emotions that have built up over the last 11 years of my life. And yes, it's probably been that long since I had a real heart-to-heart talk with my mother.
In short: My life is hell today. ...But after I drink my afternoon coffee and snuggle my cats things will look brighter.

Well, it took awhile but I just now placed why my old boss seemed so familiar.
I worked with Cliff from Cheers.....
It's sad it took so long for it to click. He and Cliff are pretty much the same person.

I've always hated "sweetie" and "honey" as terms of endearment. My go-to for my girlfriend has always been babe...it just kind of came out in my first relationship and I never stopped.

Ah, Miss Spauling! That is truly a very difficult thing to go through. You have always impressed me as such a strong young woman, and I want to say that just because you are feeling on the verge of an emotional meltdown does not make you any less strong. It takes a lot of strength to go through something like that and you just can’t always be ready or prepared enough for everything that comes by in life, and I think that it especially shows a lot of strength and understanding on your part for being aware of it and even how long it has been building.
It may be a struggle, but once you get through it, in the end it really will make you even stronger! I think that things like this are part of being human and everyone has their breaking point somewhere, so it is completely natural that you feel that way, and I hope you won’t discredit your emotions or feelings in any way, since it is important what you feel too!

Well now that Im not on my phone I can read other posts (I hate reading on a small screen. I don't even like typing on it)
Im sorry Miss S IF you need to hide some bodies, just make them into tacos and I will help you dispose of them. Okay, forget I said that, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit....... Ill just get the rain boots and chainsaw. REEN REEEN REEEEEN.
I usually just call a woman baby or babe. Sweetie or honey doesn't sound right coming from a man.
I mostly try to call her by her name though so she knows I am talking to and thinking of her instead of a universal word like "Baby/babe".
For example, I will say "Whats up babe?" but when it matters I use her name such as "I love you _______"

I'll keep you in my prayers Miss Spaulding.
Jesus loves you and cares for you.
I'm also not one to have many emotional meltdowns and *never* show emotions to others. One time I did melt down in front of a lady who I had bible study at her house before the others arrived. So many things built up that when she asked what was wrong I didn't really know what was.
It's definitely not comfortable to melt down in front of others, but sometimes having the melt downs or even experiencing emotions more fully rather than just smothering them and ignoring them can help.
A couple years ago a lady told me "don't forget to feel". It stood out to me because sometimes I do that. Not that I don't have feelings.. but that sometimes I ignore them or push them to the side and don't experience them so some things especially grief can take a lot longer to deal with for me.
That said.. it will never be comfortable for me to share/show emotions.
I'll be praying that God can help you get through/process everything on your heart.
