- Do you think it’s wrong to text message a suitor twice in a row? If he doesn’t respond to the second one, does that mean has thrown you away?
- If you just met someone and they say they are having a bad day but give few details and you don’t really know them well enough to know what to say, do you say anything? Do you say, oh, sorry to hear that? Do you say, care to tell me what’s up? Or do you think this would annoy the suitor?
- Do you know where my berry-flavored lip gloss is?
- Can anyone confirm or deny the value of herbal supplements (beyond say a daily multi-vitamin)? Do they mess you up? Are there goods one for any particular ailments?
- How do you get your eyeliner and mascara not to run or smudge after a while? After a few hours, I have raccoon eyes and am tired of it.
SOB with me

1) Only if you don’t care about him. If he doesn’t message you back after the second one, he’s either been in a terrible accident, he’s married or he’s no good and he needs to be deleted…backspaced and untexted.
2) If someone tells you they are having a bad day it’s because they want attention payed to their complaining and their bad day. Ask them, they’ll moan to you for as long as you like.
3) Look in all your pockets, at the bottom of your purse and in between the car/sofa seats.
4) The only herbal sup that works is glucosamine for arthritis. There is that other herb, but I wouldn’t smoke that. lol
5) Waterproof, but it’s a bitch to get off at night. It’s like freakin’ glue and it flakes. However, mascaraless is NOT an option.

Thank you, Val! I fear my lip gloss is in my car…as you suggested…it may be a goner!
Concerning the first couple of questions.
This is all I have left.
You could be in my pillows’ spot. Right next to me. While I rub your back.
I would cuddle with you but I don’t know you.
Area code: 785.

Oh, Air Force John.
I name you by name when I haven’t the others. Feel privileged.
Oh, Air Force John.
What have you done but forced your deletion from my life.
Oh, Air Force John.
I don’t doubt you study hard or that you are under the gun.
But, oh, Air Force John,
I want a pleasant time…if only you’d just play along.
Air Force John.
You should take lessons from me on how to stifle yourself when it comes to the opposite sex. Couldn’t you let your problems go to the wayside?
Air Force John.
Your love was my life for a solid 96 hours.
Dearest Air Force John,
I shall sort of mourn you but I will tell you this: I don’t regret you like the rest.
And for that you will always be (at lease for now)
my Air Force John
whose memory can bring a smile to my face even if you couldn’t bring me a good time.

damn, I just answered this then lost it somehow before submitting..okay,
#1. No. Text him as often as you like. You are spontaneous and you don’t give a flying fuck what anyone thinks, and you want him to know this. Just keep the content casual.
#2. I think “bummer” covers it.
#3. try under the left seat cushion of your sofa
#4. All I know about this subject is they are not FDA approved. Which doesn’t count for much, as we all know the FDA is a political organization…
#5. It’s called waterproof (I dont’ know about the eyeliner since I don’t use it, but the mascara definitely works!).
Good luck!!
PS. If he doesn’t text you back, he probably isn’t worth it. Or he could be having a bad day. Play it by ear. 🙂

1.No its not wrong, you want to communicate with him, so show it. If he doesent respond you do not know what the hell it means. Maybe it means his dog ate his cell phone
2.If i do not fill like saying anything I wount, cause It shows that you are faking the condolences if you give them, Besides enough of faking to hell with people that do not like others to respond honestly.
3.It runned away
4.I do not think they mess you up, but I seriously doubt they help, although maybe they can be usefull as placebos.
5.Have a permanent face tatoo

1. Yes I think it’s wrong. I also think that it was wrong for you to text message him in the first place. Did you call him your boyfriend in both text messages? Did you set a date for your wedding?
2. I am not sure what you do, but what you DON’T do is text him and say, “Come over and let your girlfriend take care of you, honey-wagon.”
3. You ran out of berry-flavored lip gloss when you were writing with it on your bathroom mirror and on Air Force John’s car: “Mrs. Air Force John.”
4. I care more about how you pronounce the word HERBAL.
5. I absolutely agree with Mariana on No. 5. Especially if you need this to cover up the facial tattoo of Air Force John you’ve given yourself in a manic episode.

Thank you all for your help. Updates for what they’re worth:
1. Thusfar, I have not felt the texting urge anymore. But a summary: I do want to communicate with him, I don’t want to waste time on a jerk, and also I don’t give a flying fuck (1writegirl…you right, girl) what anybody says, I’m a confident woman. And no, I didn’t mention I will be the future Mrs. Air Force John…I think it’s obvious, right?
2. I’ve had a rough couple days myself. I can’t bother with a moody man. Okay? Plus, I do believe in giving people space to say things only if they want to (and as mariana says, faking sympathy to have something to say sucks…I think “bummer” works nicely.) I have to say, Val in this question, you touched on my greatest fear. I do NOT want to be a sounding board.
3. When I think about having to look in my car for the lip gloss, I feel myself going to my dark place. I think I might should just go buy a new tube. Where did I get it? USA Drug? Plus, if I buy a new tube, I will be doing my part to stimulate the economy.
4. I took St. John’s Wort and it made me crazy that time. I tend to be skeptical about them.
5. Permanent makeup is a cool idea…I think I’m might be too high strung to get it done. I guess I need to look into the waterproof eyeliner and mascara, since I think both are running.
Thank you all. I realize I must do this more often b/c I need your help/support in navigating my life.
