That sucks, I’m sorry! This guy seems like a piece of work. Good for you for calling him out and trying to establish some boundaries.

 Jesus. Yeah, I read about that yesterday. I hope she’s doing ok!

I am so, so sorry for you and your husband. There’s some good advice downthread. I would add, make a recording of his voice before it’s too late. See if there’s something meaningful the two of you can do together. Something You can remember fondly.

 Hey, Jezzies, how about a commisuration thread.

Yep 😊

I can’t let you do that, Dave.

I’m glad they did so too, but it took them long enough! Ohioans had to put a lot of pressure on them before they changed the venue.

I like you.

 Thank you!

😊 Congrats! I hope you have a very happy life in your new home.

 Thank you!

 I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s an absence that never really goes away, isn’t it.

Miss has no abbreviation. Ms. has no longer form.

I don’t agree that Ms. is the norm in the US. As a public school teacher, I was generally called Miss or Mrs., though I’m unmarried. As a private music teacher, I’m usually called Miss nadiact1000 by my students. I live in Ohio. I think this is probably common for people in my profession. I would guess this varies…

 He plays the violin!

I’m expressing my patriotic duty through watching Justice League Unlimited. Later, I’ll work on packing my stuff, since I’m moving into my own house this weekend!
