Airenlow, I will give you that it is often times hard to discern subtle nuances on a forum such as this. Dates have little to do with intent. I love that I'm your sweetheart now. It means so much when someone confers on you the title sweetheart in earnest. Think I'll take that
Though, I must confess when someone disparages a name however slightly I take that at its face when combined with past history. I'm also quick to forgive as life is too short not to allow for such a blessing as forgiveness.
To be honest, your calling me sweetheart. Reminds me of two stories, one of which I can tell on a forum such as this. A Drill Instructor had two of my uncles in the same platoon in boot camp. When the D.I. called out for mail call and didn't specify which one... well Jessie had to ask. Needless to say, when the D.I. echoed back, Jessica Sweetheart it was a bit comical. This was back in the Vietnam era. Jessie went circling around the platoon to get his mail biting his tongue and then... the D.I. threw his mail on the ground just as he was reaching out for it. Well, Jessie bent down and grabbed his mail. He also came back up with an upper cut that knocked that D.I. out in one punch.
