Sad to see the SilverDome (not SuperDome) in that state. Hogan has a thing on Facebook where he holds interesting merch people send in for him to sign at The Beach Shop and someone actually had a seat from the place.

 

Ok. Here's one. Discussing exes. How much is too much? My girlfriend doesn't seem to have built a bridge over a previous relationship that didn't work out and there have been times I've had to tell her to stop discussing it as I find it rude. What's the best way to help them get over it? I helped her take some Gothy books to the charity shop for a start (she had a Goth phase around the time of it all and stopped for the sake of bad memories) and am encouraging her to look forward not back. But I think there's other ways to help and I'm not sure what.

Does anyone get where I'm coming from?

 

Well, you need to get over it too to a point. 

When you have asked her to stop talking about it, how have you said it? And have you really explained how it's making you feel? 

 

We all feel a little bit dented when it comes to our partners exes, but most of the time it's a matter of being mature about it and sucking it up. If I'm being really honest I think you should be grateful that she feels she can talk about her ex with you, if she completely shut down and never spoke of any exes that would be a huge red light for me as they obviously still feel very uncomfortable about the relationship/s. 

If this relationship caused a lot of heartache then it will take her years to fully get over it, in some cases people never do but these are lessons for us. She's still feeling the effects and is still processing it all. Maybe you should sit and listen to her properly and go over that relationship with her so she can feel a kind of closure and move on. She could be petrified of the same thing happening to your relationship.

 

On the other hand, if it's all they talk about all day every I can see why it would get annoying. But try thinking of why they're saying it instead of what they're actually talking about.

That's very true. Some stuff will still be there. I have listened and I understand this one was a couple of years before we started dating (we've recently marked a year ourselves) and it will take some years to get over like you said. Now you've mentioned it. I will try listen to more of it because she's able to mention it. I'll have to see how it goes.

The episode where Homer joins The Stonecutters is brilliant. The bit where he gets kicked out is just choice!

PelleK metal vocal cover of Aqua's Barbie Girl. This is actually pretty entertaining. Quite a set of pipes on this guy. Some pretty good covers on his Channel.

I can even see the point if they want to use it as an online photo album that will outlive all their phones and other storage devices.

Yeah, true I guess. Now you mention it.

Lately, a few people I know have since had kids, but what I can't stand, is people who constantly post photos of their kids. It's nice to have a few up, don't get me wrong. But there comes a point where it's like they have to post every one they take. I certainly wouldn't want to turn it into a diary of them growing up. I can imagine the day they start using it and some parents tagging them in all those photos for embarrassment.

Another thing is, do you ever categorise friends. Two examples are the ones you want to delete, but can't be bothered to (I'm sure we go a few) and the one from school or college or work whom you don't really talk to, but they friended you and you accepted any way and vice versa.

When are they gonna bring out the new missions? It's about time they did. Need to get back on it sometime, try and FC it. I'm an Xbox 360 guy. PriestMaidenDio is my Gamertag. Feel free to add.

Don't suppose anyone's seen Dogs Like Socks?
