Mine was like that forever until one bored day I opened it up and just scrolled through it. Then it finally reset.

I hope things turn out the way that will make you both happiest. Best wishes, sincerely. Its a tough row and yours sounds like a very sensible solution for now. Hope you remain friends.

I already liked this, but I like it enough to write it out loud. This was just perfect, thank you @avclub-eaf402eeb9124200ac5a79cbc3355d72:disqus .

Thank you, partdavid, for the compliment.

I'm everywhere! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE ME!

I've actually never noticed your avatar (I can be really unobservant) but that is one of my favorite songs/videos.

I think we were probably asked to vote, but didn't feel like getting out of bed?

I guess this must be a not-uncommon experience, maybe? Gosh, I don't know. Like I said, not having him around has pained me a lot - I have dreams sometimes where I run into him, and he forgives me, and let me tell you, I have a great day after that kind of dream. Alternatively I dream he does NOT forgive me, and I…

Right, I didn't know how/if it would apply, just that something about your story reminded me of this particular friendship.

Awww, Diabolik, you sound so provincial! It's cute (I'm teasing ya).
