Dude, wtf is wrong with men in [your specific part of] Maine?

posted by Eideteker 27 October | 08:41

Nah. If it had been in the olden days it would've been by letter, which is still the Wimpiest way to do it. Loser.

No. Terrible. Egregious.

Oh, JEEZ. That's such a shame, JanetLand, though someone who would break up by text is maybe not someone to be mourned a lot. Still, what a way to start the morning.

You're amazing: funny and sweet and smart and a hell of a catch.

Well thank GOD you're rid of THAT loser!

Do all the nice things for yourself you deserve as you shed his despicable cooties!

What did it say? You have to wear that thing like a badge, use it as a "get out of whatever free" card, like Carrie Bradshaw did when she got dumped by Post-It note.

It said I could take the dvds he left at my house to Goodwill.

I don't think I have anything in common with Carrie Bradshaw.

Yes, that would be very nice, thank you gaspode.

Down with this sort of thing. Up with dinners!

the good news is that you are no longer dating some loser who isn't man enough to break up in person . sounds like you are going to be much better off in the long run

Geez, he not only dumps you but uses you for throwing out his belongings because he can't be bothered himself? You should mail the DVDs to him with a note saying you're not his maid. *whuffles*

posted by Melismata 27 October | 10:56

What a fool. And a rude fool, at that. Text him: "Gd rddnce!"

Seriously, (( )) (old time symbol for hugs) and onward to a man that actually deserves you.

If we were all meaner than we were, you'd give us his # and we could all text him.

But that would be WRONG. . . .

I got dumped on IM.

(((JanetLand)))

As painful as it was to have that done to you, it says loads about him and nothing about you.

posted by deborah 27 October | 15:16

That sucks, JanetLand. What a choad.

posted by youngergirl44 27 October | 16:31

Anyone like to send texts? Moron me, I never learn, bought a prepaid texting package I stupidly thought I'd need. 600+ messages expire Nov. 10. So, text me a hello if you want: (u.s.) Two Hundred Seven, Six Hundred Seven, Thirty Ninety-One.

posted by JanetLand 27 October | 17:09

Sent one. . .hopefully to you and not to someone else.

posted by danf 27 October | 17:40

Texted you . . . hope it arrived. (I interpreted your # as 207607391)

posted by bearwife 27 October | 19:40

wellll, "thirty ninety one" actually means 3091. Guess I was being too cute.

posted by JanetLand 27 October | 20:06
