Now, that's just not nice! Not my fault that she's a good judge of character.

Rick, remember that I have $50 for under 3 months on the under/over for when Yen gets tired of S_L.

Hmmm, isn't that what you said about this one? :p

You missed a good bottle of black label, and a special edition of Crank Yankers provided by Rick. Ahhh, good times....

I'll take that action.

What you forgot is that the housing situation makes it tougher for her to dump SL. Security deposits, hiring movers, and all that. Plus, it's hard to know exactly when the dumping will occur sincew we have only SL's word on it.

On the other hand, I have her email address...

That's true; I had forgotten about that. Good point! So, we'll never really know when she gets tired of the swirl.

What is 'swirl'? Is that similar to a Blumpkin?

Think of a swirl in icecream - you'll get it.

Yeah, haven't you ever had a vanilla/chocolate swirl ice cream cone?

Now, just substitute lemon sorbet for the vanilla ice cream, and you should get the idea.

What the hell is a blumpkin????
