> [@l1I235](#): > > True. You did call me a liar many times though. > > I am lying about dyslexia…My boyfriend…etc. Ah, again I did not name call. Just did a search to double-check but I actually never called you a “liar” or any name besides your own. Did I question your honesty in the telling of certain details? Most certainly, and I still do. Did I call you a “Liar”? No. ---

> [@Bob Ducca](#): > > This would have been helpful info to share earlier in the thread. Right. In my next OP, I will be sure to preface with “I have dyslexia”. My boyfriend is mentioned in the OP. I am not sure how I am supposed to mention him to your liking? But, Bob, being you are the one who is about poking me with a stick for shits and giggles, nothing I could post would be good enough for you. Not then, not now. ---

> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > So, again, what was everyone else doing? Well, I couldn’t see people in front of me, these people were in the way. I was also mostly paying attention to them as it was happening. The girl on the side was just watching. I could not see the people behind me. No one spoke up or anything. If it means anything, someone in the row behind me feel asleep and started snoring later. That row basically started to giggle at the snoring. Take from that what you will. No one woke him up for several minutes (no, it was not me that woke him up) God, That theatre…ugh. ---
