> [@bobkitty](#): > > Did you miss the update? While the girlfriend is in Cuba possibly-but-not-definitely banging her ex, the OP has hooked back up with HIS ex. He hasn’t told the previously-ex that he is now banging about his actual current girlfriend (the one in Cuba), as he wants to wait to bring the topic up until the girlfriend returns and (possibly) confesses to her cheating ways. Then he’ll decide if he wants to stay with girlfriend (if she didn’t bang her ex while on vacation) or with previously-ex (if she did bang her ex while on vacation). And what about Chuck and Bob? Confused? You won’t be after the next episode of “Soap.” ---

It’s harder to read stuff that isn’t spelled or punctuated properly. People may be giving you shit, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not a good idea to try and improve yourself and learn these skills better. ---

As computers get smaller and smaller, they get harder and harder to use, especially if you can only see half of a sentence at once. As brains get smaller and smaller, you forget what you just wrote, and can’t remember what you were going to write, which makes it worser and worser. ---
