Leo … do NOT toy with her emotions like that!

Gotcha, Alex! (gig brin)

Heh, heh. Way to keep her on her toes.

Does Alex multi task? I think so.

Wayto go Leo! The gift that keeps on giving… A new insecurity for the girlfriend! Yay!!.

I love his sense of humor – he seems to know exactly what to say. And I think he’s actually putting Alex at ease, making it clear that he’s solid with her. She’s insecure, but he loves her.

@ryannina, I agree 150%! It’s too easy to hurt someone, making jokes like that. But Toggle realizes, and immediately makes sure to let her know he’s only joking. Sweet man!

What’s TBI? I keep asking about words like that (acronyms), and mostly nobody tells me. Can it be that nobody knows? or maybe nobody cares? but words are important!

Come to that, what’s \\//_ ? I’m beginning to see it more and more often. And I notice that when I type in three backslashes, it displays only two.

TBI stands for Traumatic Brain Injury.

TBI – traumatic brain injury.

\\//_ – maybe a Victory sign? The first \ (had to use two to see one) is an ‘escape’ to allow the next character to be interpreted as “just a character”, not a command, in many contexts.

Toggle’s at one with more than that, he’s ready for this: “Keep your eyes wide open going into marriage… and after that, keep ‘em half shut!

Thank you everyone for your help!!
