I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Hey Allyson look over here, I have shiny things, and over there on that other board someone just called Tim a gnat-brained nincompoop.

ION, I still have 20/20 vision.

Thank Tom for that info, that will be great if I can go until March.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

you need a powerpoint. an animated one, that overlays.

Possibly with a note that says, "Watching this powerpoint triggers a migraine, too."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You're totally going to hurt yourself.

That boy is Trouble, Allyson. A mix? With a girlfriend? That's not playing fair. Can you have fun crushiness for a while and then let it drift away painlessly? That would be ideal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But he's sending me a mix, ita. HE'S SENDING ME A MIX.

Get out now! The klaxons of impending pain and head 'splodiness are wailing.

Flash! I could totally do flash!

At least the appointment is soon--8:30 Monday morning.

Talk about mixed signals.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Allyson, we need you to remember Rob Gordon.

The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules.

I think the mix landscape is irretrievably changed by iTunes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Allyson, former flames reconnecting and sending out mix tapes does not bode well. Most guys do that for women they intend to pursue. If not for the 3000 miles I think you'd have a choice between backing away or trying to push his girlfriend out of the picture, but with that kind of distance involved it can only result in heartbreak for you.

Then there are guys who make you mixed tapes who have no interest at all! Make up your minds!!
