Honeydew, this is obviously your life, your feelings, and your situation. All I can say that is when I was in a similar relationship ending place, keeping in touch with the person made it much much harder for both of us to move on with our lives. Now, years later, we’re able to talk, and still be friends, but immediatly after our breakup, it was just too hard when we still talked. We’d find ourselves overlooking the bad, and dwelling on the good, and starting to drift back together, then have to do the break up all over again. Again, this may not happen to you at all, I just don’t want anyone going through that roller coaster ride. A little distance might make things a little easier. Sort of like ripping the bandage off all at once, rather than slowly peeling it away. Whatever you decide, best to you. ---

Ok how about davebear the demonic? or davebear the diabolical? Dastardly does sound like laffolympics to me 🙂 And really with a name like Tanookie… how terrible can I possibly sound? (All I can think of is Life of Brian… “I had a fwiend in Wome called Twanookie the Tewwible”) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Honeydew \* > \*\*He asked could we be friends and I agreed - I can’t turn my feelings off like a switch I’m afraid - I still love him and care for him. \*\* I totally understand this, and I hope it works out better for you than it has for me, in the past. As a wise friend recently told me, it’s asking to be hurt, again. But, we’ll be here for you, if you need us. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tanookie \* > \*\*Ok how about davebear the demonic? or davebear the diabolical? > > Dastardly does sound like laffolympics to me > > And really with a name like Tanookie… how terrible can I possibly sound? (All I can think of is Life of Brian… “I had a fwiend in Wome called Twanookie the Tewwible”)\*\* Ooh! Those are _much_ better! Diabolical would be even more fun than Terrible, I think. All that evil plotting. And, henchmen! I’ve never had a henchman, but it’s part of the package, right? That would be cool. And, yeah, I kept picturing the old cartoon character Dick Dastardly. Not really the effect I was going for. I still think Tanookie works as a Terrible name. You just have to ignore the fact that you’re named for a cartoon raccoon. Before I knew that, it could have meant anything. And, it has a suitably Hun-ish sound to it. 🙂 ---

Don’t be sexist! A woman can certainly be a Henchman. It’s a job title, not a gender. 😉 ---

Oooo! Oooo! Pick me! Pick Me! I’ve always wanted to be someone’s arch-enemy. And I guess since Davebear is diabolical, that would make me the good guy. Woohoo! The Masked El Marko rides again. ---

I shall be known as **Flybynight the Furious**. I ride on the wind in the night of the new moon. I steal the first-borns, and raise them, teach them, train them - as my own terrible Army of Furious First-borns. They do my fighting for me, so you can kill them (but I wouldn’t if I were you, as few look kindly on the killing of seemingly innocent babies), but you can never get to me. And as long as young couples copulate and get preggers, my army will be infinitely replenishable. So go on, **Diabolical Dave** , continue your sex threads. Make young men and women frolic in the fields of their youth after reading your words. You only fuel my fire, and bring about your own downfall! Bwahahahahaha! ---

Thanks **Branwen**! Bwahahahahaha! (i.e. maniacal laughing) This thread seems to be getting awfully weird as well as terribly off topic. Although, I suppose if we’ve managed to make **Honeydew** smile with our absurdities, then maybe we’re on the right track after all. Leave it to **Davebear** to thoroughly hijack a thread like this.

Well considering the people in this thread _cough_ _cough_ we’ve managed to hijack the hell outta every thread we’ve been in thus far! Honeydew shouldn’t be surprised at this either 🙂 Who knows… maybe someday it will be considered a privelege to have our little clan hijack a thread ?? (stranger things have happened!)
