Sometimes it's good to be open about your emotions.

And there's certainly nothing inherently wrong with crying.

But I'm told there's a woman employed at a Spokane TV station who likes to get on Twitter and report that she has been reduced to tears by this or that television show.

Apparently this happens to her a lot. I've heard that casual observers might well conclude that this is her state every time she turns around.

Fine. But reportedly she is unaware that the present participle she seeks is "bawling," not a verb that sounds like that but is spelled differently and is burdened with a vulgar slang meaning.

But who knows. Maybe she is saying exactly what she means and these ribald romps are how she processes feelings.

Whatever gets you through the night.
