LYC: I find it funny that some STers care so much about "facebook official" relationships, when most people my age don't even list status - MDH May 10, 12:15 29

    - Some people do not have FB so our exes have no clue what we are doing. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 12:23 6
      - Some of us only have exes that live in Texas so its easier to just dis-include them completely. -- nm - Qale May 10, 12:24 5
        
        That's why some of us hang our hat in Tennessee -- nm - con_carne May 10, 12:32 3

- meaning you think not from her ?> -- nm - Capstern May 10, 12:15 2
  - Meaning her gripe about my not paying for anything becomes more ironic. She says she's mad that I act like they take over the house. That's too bad... - Qale May 10, 12:20 1
    - well that makes sense -- nm - Capstern May 10, 12:21
- Unrelated, but what does (",) mean? -- nm - Loyola May 10, 12:14 2
  - Do you mean ^,.,^ It's a vampire bat Asian-style emoticon. Pretty much the only one I shamelessly use. -- nm - Qale May 10, 12:20 1

  - Your review could bring balance back to your site. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 12:15 2
    - Fat Man gave it a B. I mean, I haven't read it, I presume it doesn't read like a B, but that's what the photo says so it got a B. -- nm - Qale May 10, 12:26 1
