    Honestly I agree with both. It’s good to get things off your mind, that’s healthy; but to do it before something important like a driver’s test isn’t the best idea.

    Now, Martha, what does Jason have that Michael doesn’t? A driver’s license perhaps?

    So, what happened the other day- did he back into somebody or did somebody rear-end him?

    Well, she did what she wanted. Got it right off her mind,…. and deeply embedded into his. Have a nice drive!

    While I thought that I had a “bad” last name. ‘Finkbeiner’ would be an even worse last name to be running around with. I could just see the kids from primary school on up doing things with a name like that.

    I hate to say it – but this is just another case of “It’s all about her!” I’ve been watching how women writers and male writers write (in the NY Times). Two people writing about a new tech device: the guy writes about the device;the woman writes about HER problems with the device… it specifically becomes a personalized narrative. An article about a woman whose parents divorced at 60 years of age. Instead of really being about why older couples might break up at such a late date – it was all about HER problem dealing with the break up. One more time – all about HER! This is not automatic – but often enough to be noticeable.

    Good strategy. He will be thinking about her for a long time now.

    OK, so I guess they’re not going to bond over their shared love of Jason Finkbeiner.

    Maybe I didn’t love you.

    Quite as often as I could have.

    Maybe I didn’t treat you.

    Quite as good as I should have.

    If I made you feel, oh, second best. M

    (You did, you did).

    Girl, I’m sorry I was blind.

    But you were always on my mind.

    You were always on my mind.

    You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind).

    You were always on my mind.

    Mike didn’t engage in enough of that “other stuff” and then Jason came along and showed her what she was missing.

    Martha should have waited until after the driving test.

    Yeah, OK, bring back the memories, Ms Johnston. My high school most serious GF tossed me over just like this for a college guy who skied wearing a cowboy hat. Note to Mike: we bounce back and have great lives and loves, it really isn’t the end of the world. Ace your test, there are plenty more to come.

    This brings back memories. On the way to a biology class test, my boyfriend sent a girl to break up with me. I was so upset that I made an F on that test when, under normal circumstances, I would have probably made a B, or maybe even an A. Years later, he called when he was in mortician’s school and indicated he wanted to try again. I was happily engaged, so I had the pleasure of turning him down. That felt good!

    Over the years I’ve learned that it’s generally men who do the dumping for another female. Most females dump their guys because they find them insufficient – not to hook up with another.

    Mike, if you don’t pay attention to their likes, they’ll find someone who will.

    The best breakup I ever had was with a woman who admitted, after a few dodged phone calls, that she just wasn’t in love with me anymore.

    Not a problem. You can’t “push on a rope”.

    All I’m saying is, if he fails the test because his feelings are unsettled then he would have failed anyway. (Or should have failed anyway.) Reminds me of this letter to the editor years back. Somebody complained about having to do his driving test at rush hour in a very busy street. And I though, dude, it’s your responsibility to be good enough to handle it.
