If you have a brother (which I feel like you do?), you've gotta get him to return serve.

I'm sure the brother has been e-mailed several times in recent days

So have you actually talked to the now ex? What a lame way to find out that shit. That means this break up was very much in the works for a while. I'm trying to think of a great way to get revenge, but nothing clever is coming to mind.

That's true. Being seen super happy without her (and with a hotter chick) is better than doing something.

oh there's no effort being made. if there is a message that ever comes my way, a screenshot back of what I saw today is going to be my response

(and to answer the question, no, not since Friday, when it was very clear based on the messages I recently went back and looked at that we had not broken up)

While I agree with this, I would also get a certain amount of amusement if Bronto replied to it with a mention that the potential suitors should be made aware that dating her means they could get dumped in the future by the girl's sister over Facebook.

Not to mention that on facebook, the best revenge is often mockery, not just ignoring it.

I think a simple "Like" on the post would get the point across. Passive aggressive enough to kick her to the curb properly and let her now you saw the post.

Yeah, some passive aggressive, but not bitter-sounding way to let her readers know that she broke the news before it actually happened. That seems good.

I have done nothing, though I noticed that she wiped some pictures tagged of us from social media too. I'd rather let her fade into the abyss than potentially trigger a response.

And I'm also of the belief that it's best revenge to enjoy life and find someone better.

Counterpoint: Start uploading more and more pictures of you together smiling and stuff but with tags like "Me and my ex" and "We all have regrets".

If it's an "underground poker room", should you be advertising it on social media? Unless underground means something I don't understand.

Isn't a little cunt'y to be shopping your sister around before the body is cold on a relationship? Like.. Did the ex really want to be going on dates this soon?

I took it as a cunty way making a statement that she is happy her sister isn't with Bronto anymore. Any chance the vacation housing situation got blamed on Bronto? Not that it matters.

still haven't heard anything from her too, which is the funniest part. and I've been in a much better mood over the past 10 days, so perhaps there's a correlation there.

Someone you might have seen my Facebook rant from this morning. This is about that, but only barely.

I have an aunt who I very much like, but who is basically illiterate. That's not an exaggeration or hyperbole. This doesn't stop her from posting on Facebook from time to time and it's a chore to sometimes try to figure out what she's trying to say, but that's all fine.

So she obviously intended to share my post from this morning, but through some accident of confusion or some other mishap she just copied and pasted it so that it appears as her own post (and again I'm NOT upset about that since I can say with 100 percent certainty she didn't intend to), but the first couple of comments are almost heartbreakingly hilarious to the effect of "You wrote this?" and "There's no way you wrote this."

Nothing worse than a 55 year old drama queen:

Seriously, Universe? Sam Shepard and Jeanne Moreau within the same 24 hours? Allow a person to catch their breath why don't you? This world is so saddening me right now. I cannot even begin to collect my thoughts about these two monumental artists and their influence on my education and my twin passions of theatre and film. I would say I am bereft but in fact, these days? A long life lived with integrity and joy and transcendent artistic achievement seems something to celebrate, not mourn. Raising a glass to these two beloveds.

On the old board years ago, yes, I was jhiphop. I changed it on this Board because something got messed up when I signed up. Plus, I always thought it was too close to the legendary JPops.

You know what. I think this guy has a point. I think the library should have at least let the parents know that Little Red Riding Hood was going to be a drag performer and have the parent give the opportunity to see if they wanted their kids to show it. My kids are 9 and 6 and they have an idea what transgender is from last season of Survivor, and I have no problem explaining it to them, but I can see why a parent would be pissed.

It's a play. People get dressed up and play parts. If he is playing the role "straight" and it isn't inappropriate what difference does it make who plays the part?
