I would conclude that the note addressed to me because, generally, my wife usually refers to me using sweet and/or reverential terms such as "Honey", "Stallion", "Sweetie" or "My Knight in Shining Armor".
Is it reverential or sarcastic? One of my friend's always says that behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes
Note: Notes to me never are addressed to a specific name but, if they were, it is way more likely that they would be addressed to "Dumba**" than "Stallion".
After reading the moody thread, I now understand your family comment meant you wanted to make sure buttons didn't become gay.
My sons had their own pet names for PapaLew:
The younger one called him an a-hole once, and PapaLew said "that's Grand, Exalted ******* to you!"...it kind of stuck...
The older one stretched his name out to another familiar name. Only prob was once when he was trying to get PapaLew's attention from across the sanctuary after services one Sunday, and after calling his name several times, hollered "Hey, Lucifer!". You can only imagine how many heads snapped around at that one, and how much explaining I had to do to convince people that no, he didn't actually hate his stepdad!

What an awesome picture. It makes me smile.
Pupdate: I've said "lulu no!" More times than I can count, she's learned to hop on the couch and despite having a bunch of toys, she really likes to play with socks. Can't get her to pee outside, but she does really well with pee pads.
Ha! I didn't even make that connection! Which only shows what a stretch it is to assume referring to "family" in a non-traditional manner is not code for "no gays".
Easy there, Magnum. When I got done and walked out of my office it was Iowa outside. You've got a better view. Say hi to Higgins.
I was looking for a Brave Little Toaster response and stumbled upon this instead.All of my electrical appliances talk to me.
Recognizing you have a cat problem is the first step on the long road to recovery.
I have a feeling it would be similar to the plotting in royal courts. As far as fake people it seems to happen all of the time. I just watched Sherlock and he has done that.

We are struggling with stopping our puppy from chewing on shoes, sandals, the corners of the carpet and patio chairs. It is a blast.
I suppose Henry VIII did have to deal with those situations all the time. So it would kind of be like that except, instead of cunning and powerful nobles, it involves a bunch of confused and bratty teenagers
That's the idea. However, the corn bearer is clearly a denizen of the People's Republic of Iowa City.Pants after tax day.
Lawman after tax day.
I'm debating doing nothing but realistic Facebook posts for awhile and see how it's received.
- Here's a picture of my daughter after a soccer game where she got manhandled and lost miserably. She probably lost you one of your daughters that wins every game.
- Here's a picture of a meal that I just made. It kinda looks like dog vomit because I didn't have a few ingredients and had to improvise. It also tasted pretty bad.
- Here's a picture of me sitting at my desk at work instead of on vacation.
- My Fitbit registered 50 steps today. I was going to run, but when I walked to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, I noticed I had oreos.
- My favorite sports team just lost
- I watched this Youtube video of how to make a picnic table. After several weekends, here it is. It's pretty uneven and many of the cuts aren't uniform, but it'll look better when I put it next to that disaster of an adirondack chair that I tried to make last year.
