I love shannon but i can’t get over nicole, and now faced with a desision wher the choice seems obiouse i’m waivering between the two. and i warned Drax about going back out with his ex and here i am thinking about doing the same thing

If Shannon will remain close friends if you go out with your ex, and if/once that ends, will return to you (if you so wish), most definitely take it.

However, if Shannon is just saying this to make you happy, you should ask if Shannon (if they had their way) wants you to stay with ‘em. If they really want you, I suggest you stay.

Take the risk % = R%
Reward = R
Liklyhood = L
Maximum loss = ML
R% = (R-ML)/L

But Dr, it might be a test she’s seting up, fuck i sound like an ass when i say that

Set up a counter-test? If you ask her if it’s a test, there are one of three possible outcomes:
1. She lies that it isn’t
2. She tells you it is
3. She tells you (truthfully) that is isn’t
You should carefully analyse what her motives for a test would be, and also should include her history of being able to lie.

And if there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that you aint an ass.

A counter test would make me an ass,so no. I just don’t know if she’s genuine or if this is a trap, and it’s hard to kill old flames, esesiolly one’s that burned almost as hot as the one now, so i’m being torn to deside

@ Munch - What a delightful tie-in!

Don’t do the test thing. Have a heart to heart and ask her if she really wants to keep hanging herself out to dry.

i belive she wants me happy, but i also belive she thinks it’s going to fail and she want’s me to see that

R% = (your ex-both girls)/Liklyhood you will lose them both.
or
R% = (your ex-shannon)/Liklyhood you will lose shannon but fall for your ex.
or
R% = (your ex-nothing)/Liklyhood you will end up a happy poligamist with happy wives.
or
R% = (nothing-shannon)/Liklyhood Shannon will stay with you for a long time

My suggestion is that you have a sit down on a big comfortable sofa with some black tea and honey (or sugar, if you prefer), and bring up the subject of relationships. Tell Shannon (if she doesn’t already know) about your thoughts about your ex, explain why you would want to go back with her (the ex), and ask her (Shannon) what she want’s out of your relationship. Outline the results of a “detour,” and then let her have a turn at the speaker’s podium.

i would if i could get the fuck away from my job for two seconds and see her. I forgot to mention, both don’t live in dallas and i’m chained hear by my job resoncibilitys. Hells i hate being aresponsible adult somethimes

“Outline the results of a “detour,””
done.

Well, you could go back in and intentionally tank it, running it into the dust, so that the temptation is eradicated.

Off Topic (no wait, it’s an RC): Once I walked around with a doorknob in my pocket for a day. It was heavy.

Tank what Dr.? the relationship?

Yeah, the one with your ex. Like, get Shannon’s OK, then go back and completely obliterate it.

This is getting familiar…

EDIT: It’s just an idea. I’m known for my unusual suggestions. Like you ever heard the story about the dude trapped in the basement with the power out? Three rooms out: one with man-eating tigers, another with floor mines, third with an electric grid? Most say to go out the third, because of no power. I say, what about a backup generator? You should lead the tigers into the room with the mines, then blow them up and leave through the first room.

Did you not get what i said befor, i’m still great friends with my ex and i still have feelings (that i shouln’t) for her, i could NOT intentully harm her

Under the new plan
R% = ((Removal of your ex+more solid romance with shannon)-Hurting your ex)/Liklyhood you will not be able to go through with it or Shannon will think your a dick.

Klaus beat me to it… the SpaceMouse comic bit. Not the tigers being blown up with mines bit.

And doorknob? WHAT?

O, wow. Thank you, Dr. You just reminded me that I have a broken pair of glasses in my coat pocket.

If i could tank it then i would not be tempted

@ David: It fell of my bedroom door; I thought it would be funny. And yeah, I figured you didn’t think of blowing up wild cats.

@ Scotch: Glad you remembered.

@ Lark: Ahh, I forgot you are friends with your ex. Like Daisy leaving Abbey for Mike? Sorry, I’m just attempting to really grasp this before I say anything else.

EDIT: Could you have a chat with your ex about the situation. If you really are good friends, she should understand. You don’t have to tell her everything, just enough.

You can catch a glimpse of their friendship dynamic on a few of the previous pages when she was here.

My doorknob also fell off my bedroom door but I still need it to get out of my room.

Klaus…. that makes no sense. And…. I am confused by that story or whatta you call it.

What makes no sense? You’re gonna have to understand that for everything I say that makes sense, the other half has to come up with something completely crazy to equalize it.

Right now i feel like i’m being torn in two:
On one hand i have my ex, the girl who i spent many great times with and was for the most part happy.(minus the whole broke my heart part) She really helped me break out.get better at acepting myself and beliving i might have a chance at love.

On the other we have Shannon. the girl who helped me pick up and put myself back together. the one who finds all my bad jokes funny. She gave me confedence that i was not a total fuck up and was worth something.she supported my desisions, even when she thought they were stupid and gently “told me so” when she was proved right.she made me belive i could love again

My ex knows the situation

Stupid monogamy.

@David: The puzzle goes like this:

You’re driving down a stormy road when the road lights go out. The power is out, and to not risk driving in bad conditions, stop at an old house. A person inside invites you in, then clubs you and thrown you in the basement. When you awake, you are confronted with three doors, all which lead to a room, then through the room to freedom. One leads to a room with two man-eating tigers, another to a room with mines (floor bombs), and the third with an electrical shock grid (it will kill). Which do you choose.

The (COMMON) answer is the third, because the power is out.

MY LOGIC: However, what if there is a backup generator in the house? One should rather lead the tigers to their doom (preferably the mined room), and then go out the now tiger-free room.

The doorknob falling off makes sense, you putting it in your pocket for shits and giggles does not. Doesn’t make sense 1 to 1 makes sense ratio

The story with a floor of a man eating a tiger (first time I read it, I thought that’s what it said), a floor full of mines, and one floor with an electric grid…. makes no sense. Going through the electric grid floor because the power is out but there might be a backup generator makes sense. Blowing up tigers with mines does not. 2:1 ratio

It’s F%$&ing identical
exept you hang out with sandy more.

and i don’t know if i could do poligamy, i’m a bit of a green eyed monster

@ David: (look up) There ya go (in the monogamy post)

@ Lark: Green eyed monster? what does that have to do? I dont get the correlation.

EDIT: I know what it means. I don’t understand it’s application. Jealous of…?

@Lark: Are you trying to comment on your looks?

Poligamy: mulipule partners

Green eyed monster: jelasy

I unfortantly get jelos very easy, i’m working on fixing that though

I don’t think his ex is as horrible as Lucy. : D But honestly, I’d go with the one who hasn’t broken your heart. Who knows if your ex might do it again.

Unrelated: Good Song

Night, Dave. Hey, Nero.

The story still doesn’t make sense. I said the generator made sense. Blowing up the tigers still doesn’t make sense, no matter how black and white you can make it. (Before you think about it, don’t say the tigers are black and white to be an ass)

I am going to bed now, I’m tired. Night people, good luck lark

Why doesn’t blowing up tigers make sense? In order to eliminate the threat, they must be killed. Might as well use the booby-trapped mined floor to one’s advantage.

What did your ex do to “Break your heart?”

dr, i might get jelas over one or the other

“sigh”do i have to retell the story of my ex

If there is a backup generator than the power being out in the riddle is a mute point.
Call someone, leave the doors closed, and don’t you dare open the fridge.
If there is no backup generator, the rooms all lead out of the house. Two large cats won’t be staying in a small room with an exit together for long. If you run over the non-electrified wires you will be eaten at the exit. Open the door to the land mines and yell when you see a cat. One cat will explode while charging at you and one will live and NOT go in that room. If the room is empty of mines, open all doors and run out of that room through the landmine room and close just that door behind you.. If there are mines left you have a 50-50 shot of running out through the right room.

Not unless you want to. If you can point me to the page where you first put it all down, I would read that. But yes, it would be easier if you put it all in one gigantic megapost. If it is even that big. But if it’s too touchy a subject, don’t feel pressured.

@ Munch: And I just realized — what if i’m spiderman?

i just don’t feel like typing it and i don’t know what page i put it on

Than you can do whatever a spider can.
NOT SHIT BUT BE CREEPY!
What if you were pedoman?

Okay. It’s time for me to go to bed anyhow, but I’ll keep thinking it over for you, and get back to you asap. If you decide to go ahead and do anything, let me know. Hope I help.

And if possible, perhaps this could move over to another thread? It’s kind of railing the RC. Not that it has to. Lust lookin out for the other forumites who may want their RC back. But they prolly know you and are okay with this, so forget that.

All in all, good luck. Night.

The RC is unrailable. Don’t worry about it.

The guy is trying to plan out his entire future and we are arguing about exploding tigers.
The RC is safe from railing, have no fear.

Who’s still awake?

Yo.

By the way, my final verdict is for Shannon. I’m still gonna worry about your dad, but I don’t know what I can do there.

Jerk, I know you’re hiding in here. Get in the IRC, I have another present for you.

(nameless)’s mandatory new page post…..long after we’ve started a new page…..I wasn’t paying attention…..

Odd ratio

I wasn’t hiding in here. I was sleeping.

I honestly don’t know what else to say here. I think you should stick with Shannon, Lark. That’s it. Nothing against Nicole, just…I don’t know, I can’t defend it.

“sigh” i’m not trying to sound like a dick but you guys would break her heart. She likes you people, even you Vincy.
