my Grandma always used to call me 'pet'!

'hen' and 'chuck' are very British

I like them too

I like having silly names... not 'Squidgy' and 'Ickle Patootie' and gumph of that ilk, but for example if you're being silly, we always say you're being a 'munchkin'... and of course the Australian term of endearment/epithet 'dag' comes into play a lot

[rae_and_scott 1]

Scott and I will refer to each other as baby and lots of other silly pet names, but yeah, I would never say "my baby" to refer to him when speaking to someone else.

I have a friend who used to be married who would refer to his wife as "The Wife" and I always hated that; find it rather sexist. Like back in the days when husbands would refer to their wives as "My old lady". I hope it's all back in the days, anyhow.

Griff calls me an interesting array of terms of endearment, including all of the above, plus his most favorite 'chuck'. I also get 'duck' and 'love' quite a bit, along with the odd "hen" and "pet".

But if someone uses the word "hen" on you in Czech, be sure they think you are stupid and they are being rude to you I think it doesn´t matter what people call themselves in private but in public it´s rather silly to talk about your SO as if he/she was your baby

I always thought Chuck comes from Texas He´s a ranger, you know?

Yeah "The Wife" sounds like he refers to her as "this thing that´s around all the time" Yikes

i am a married woman

Oh Susie!! It all sounds so wonderful!! And I SWEAR the ring thing is a must for a memorable wedding!!

so far this morning: had root canal, got marriage license

what's on this afternoon, you ask? stay tuned...

Eww - root canal put me off going to the dentist for six years How did you wangle that so fast? You have med insurance already or...!?

Hehe Julez Don´t feel bad it´s not your fault. To be honest I don´t really care about it that much. I just want it to be done so I can close boxes and not think about it for 2 years. Only thing I am really going to need is the AP cuz I´m gonna go to my brother´s wedding in summer and so I wanna have that just in case the GC takes forever. If I wasn´t planning to go anywhere I wouldn´t care about that either. It´s just so weird. We have to go through all that hassle for K1 and then we are in prison called USA, cuz we can´t go anywhere And with the EAD...the later I get it the less chance I´ll try to get a job cuz the belly is growing so I don´t know what´s gonna happen with that Not really feel like trying to fit in a new job and learn new stuff while having to deal with my own preggy troubles and then look like an idiot there Other than that, everything is fine

Aww hun - it'll all work out - I know it is easy to say make the most of the time you have to yourself, but it is one thing saying it and another thing doing it

Well as promised here are some wedding pics.

http://www.stearmanphoto.com/ and go to wedding three on portfolio

Oh hunny - you look so beautiful and happy and the weather looks FAB!! But now I wanna see more piccies

we say all of our terms of endearment in albanian...

shpirti im - my soul

zemer - heart

burr (pronounced kind of like 'boor') - husband...yes, i call him 'husband' haha, even did so before we were married

gru (pronounced 'grew') - wife...yea, the same goes for him

rrushe - grape, its like a way of saying 'sweetie' in albanian

i would never say those names when talking to someone else about him though...yes, i hate the 'hubby' thing, ughhhh

What do you guys think? Isn't it kinda weird? Or am I turning into a curmudgeon?

I agree with you completely, it drives me nuts!

I think you only get it from those people who think that their love is better and stronger than anyone else's. Personally, I think it shows a certain level of insecurity in them, this constant need to show the world how much they are in love. Or perhaps I'm just getting old!

I totally agree with you - it makes me want to puke to put it bluntly. Apologies to StP though - I will prolly use Hubby because I can't find any other suitable abbreviation of Husband other than "Hubster" which actually sounds rather #######. It would purely be for use around friends though so StP - you can get the full "Hubby" goodness from me

For the record, I call Jeremy poo-face

Oh - and sometimes stinky poo-poo face...

I think if you actually have some REAL babies this distinction would become more important... in any case, I prefer 'sweetie' and 'honey' and even 'chick'

Aww - those are such northern names Sooo sweet Reminds me of Coronation Street and I don't even watch it

I had to post twice so I could get all the emoticons in

[Jeraly 4]

Oh and tonight is a rather poignant evening... it is mine and my mum's last night of watching the Apprentice together It sounds really lame but we both love it and we love the X Factor too - we always have a mini girly night together with a bottle of wine and the tv so it's a bit of a monumental occasion

I was wondering that too. You probably already paid out of pocket, but if you have to go back or for anyone else this might be helpful:

Try looking for a univeristy dental school. I know here NYU is the place to go if you want to get quality dental work done at a much cheaper price.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

thanks for the tip; I'll keep it in mind

I DO have a temporary cover, and we'll try to get some of it back on that... and I can go on Dave's insurance from the 1st of July, and we're going to try to put off anything else (like the crown) til then, when it will at least be partially covered

to be honest, I wanted to put this work off as well - I broke a tiny piece off the tooth a couple of months ago, which was the start of the problems, but didn't have an NHS dentist in the UK and with all the palaver going on to do with leaving the country never got round to signing on somewhere (there's a shortage of dentists in London anyway so I don't know how successful I'd have been even if I'd tried)... I would have been quite happy to leave it for a couple more weeks, but it started hurting, and the dentist I saw initially put some fear into me re abscesses and pretty things like that, and what with my parents' visit, and the wedding so imminent, we thought it was better not to go on risking it
