I got a text tonight that my brother was in a car accident, his car was on fire and he was unconscious at the scene. He has some broken bones and we know the two people in the car he hit are alive but unsure of their condition. That is the second time he has been in an accident where the cop thought there were potential fatalities. I don't give a shit if he has to drop out of our Roo trip, I'm just happy my best friend is alive and he's around for his 4 month old son. What a scary and horrible night...
That's gotta be a terrifying text to get, glad to hear he's alive and it sounds like everything can be recovered from. Thoughts and prayers for a full and speedy recovery...

Glad he's okay! Happy to hear everyone involved is okay as well.

That's so so scary - I was in a car accident myself when I was younger, and I know my parents and sister said that receiving that call was pretty much the scariest moment of their lives; you can never feel prepared to hear that someone you're so close to has been in an accident like that. Sending many warm thoughts your way and to your fam!
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
So obviously I had to try it. I would not get it again. Sub par. Not recommended. Could have just been made wrong but it was quite flavorless. The plain, boring rice was the majority of the inside. I admittedly do not enjoy much, if any, rice in my burritos, so I am little biased to begin with. I could baaaarely taste the Sriracha never mind much cheese, beef, or sour cream. Quite flavorless. Even drenched in fire sauce I found it bland.
I know this is New England and we don't have a lot of options for Mexican food - but Taco Bell is ass.
I was drinking one night with some friends in Milford, went to Taco Bell down there. I wasn't drunk enough to find it good.
Taco Bell wouldn't know Mexican food if it hit them in the mouth.

Dude, glad your brother and everyone else is ok. That shit sounds scary as hell.
yes, it takes some time apart but you can for sure. met my now ex, pre roo 2012. broke up eventually before roo 2013 and will be attending with her and other friends again this year. it's not a big deal as long as you don't hate each other and have to both be chill people to a certain extent i'd say. and i don't introduce as "hey, this is my ex"

Hm. An friend of mine is going through a breakup right now, and she can't decide if she wants to try to be friends with the dude or not. I told her she needs to give them both some time and space, but that I've personally never had much luck with being friends with an ex. I don't know if it's because most of my relationships have been really long term and there was just too muc history or what.

That's what I've been telling my friend. She's in the process of breaking up with her SO. It really does depend on the person and situation. Although, I feel like if you were together for years then there might be too much history for you to be around one another without thinking in that way. Some people might be able to do that, though. I just know that I wouldn't be able to.
I theory, yes. In practice... much easier to go with a clean break. At least that has been my experience.
No matter if they stay friends or part way it'd be best to go with plenty of time apart before being friends again. I mean like weeks or months depending on how serious it was.
In breakups I think it's best to remember you no longer owe the other person anything (probably) and you really need to put your well being before theirs.

abrakapokus and I were together for just shy of 14 years when we split. We still live in the same house with the boys (separate rooms obviously). When things came to an end with us, I think the history is one of the main things that kept us with the friendship we are at. We have both been a major part of each other's lives since 2000, and it seemed shitty to just toss it out because things weren't going to continue romantically. It probably helped that neither of us had done anything really wrong to each other. I could see how it would be much more difficult if there had been some sort of major precipitating factor (i.e. cheating, abuse, etc.) to the split or if we had continued to try to force things to work and built up a bunch of anger and resentments. There was certainly a period of readjustment, but that passes. It's just up to how each party wants the relationship to be.

def agree it depends on the people. and yes longer term relationships would def be a lot tougher. her and i were not quite even a year. but i became friends with some of her friends so we all go to shows and what not. a break is def needed after the relationship before friends can happen
Okay, so I've heard this line before - and usually I think lines like this are cheesy and not that grounded in any real sense of truth, but this one is pretty accurate: if you are friends with an ex, either you were never in love with them at all or you still are.
Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, for sure. Some people give it a lot of time and space, then the feelings of romantic love have faded, so they can reconnect as friends further down the road. That happens, yes. But in general, when I think back on my own experiences...this line has some real truth to it. I dated a guy for almost two years who, upon reflection, I really cared about and loved in that this-is-easy-and-comfortable sort of way, but I don't think I was really in love with him, though he was with me. After breaking up with him, I would've been fine to be friends - he did not feel that way. He had to completely distance himself for a few months, basically didn't talk to me during that time, and even after he had gotten over that stage, he still didn't want to be friends. It was in college, so at the time, I thought it was rude or whatever, but now I totally get why he didn't want to/couldn't be friends with me, whereas I could have been. I hadn't loved him the way he loved me, I guess.
But then with my most recent relationship, a couple times we tried to break up and then would quickly go into "talking as friends" (LOL, yeah right), which would then quickly dissolve back into romantically interacting and soon pretty much being back where we had started (together). I have no doubt that we were still in love during those times of trying to "just be friends," which is why that friend thing did not work AT ALL, and we would find ourselves back together, despite all the very valid reasons we had decided to call it quits and move on. With our most recent break up, quite recent in fact, I finally realized that in order to really move past it, we can't attempt to do the friend thing. Not now, not for a long while probably - and for us, maybe never, honestly. He's someone I have a very very deep and emotional connection to, and vise versa, and I don't see us ever being able to discount the romantic love part of our dynamic and turning it into something platonic, as lovely as it would be to have him in my life that way someday, in an ideal world.
In recent news, just yesterday this ex texted me about six messages in a row (telling me he had blocked my number so as to not feel tempted to call me but was sorry and wanted to talk etc etc), after ignoring my attempt at communication like a full week ago from me (because I was in town and wanted to get my stuff back, god forbid). Healthy, productive, normal interaction? No. He and I could clearly not be friends right now; there's still too much there. But it also really wasn't working, was long distance, and he wasn't giving enough to the relationship to continue, so it isn't like I want to be back together either. For now, we just really have to not be in contact, and I recognize and accept that.
Andddd that's my two cents on that. Yes, it can sometimes work. Usually, it doesn't, especially if the relationship was serious/lasted a while and/or if feelings are still there. At the very least, give it considerable time before trying for friendship.

Damn, thanks for this. Me and the gf are hanging out with her this evening and probably will be talking about it, so I'm trying to gather some insight into what others have experienced.
It's 8am and I've been to Starbucks and Panera for coffee already. I need to get better at that sleep thing.
I still don't understand Starbucks. I make perfectly good coffee at home, and I don't have to sell the house to buy it.
A cup of black coffee is the same price anywhere for the most part and that's what I get in the AM. I also don't enjoy dairy so until more places offer non dairy options Starbucks gets my soul.
I feel like its possible but I don't see why anyone would want to. I guess if you have kids it would be appropriate and make life easier. My ex really wants to be friends and she's a complete mess. She keeps making up reasons to see me such as she needs a dishset we bought together so I leave it outside that way I don't have to see her when she picks it up. If only she was this committed to seeing me while we were together. I try to stay civil for the most part but I absolutely can't stand her and she's clueless. I feel like that's geneally the issue with trying to be friends with an ex, one person really wants to be friends and the other is just not interested.
Depends on the particular relationship you had with your ex. I would recommend to separate yourself from him/her unless you have a deeper motive.
Whenever I see one of my ex's in public we usually stop and talk for about two mins. That's about as far as I want to take it. Seen multiple situations with friends in which they tried that, seemed like it never worked out.

You know that you are truly an adult when you don't have to worry about getting pinched on St. Patrick's Day for not wearing green.
Oh shit, I completely forgot that was today man and, coincidentally, I just so happen to be wearing the only green shirt I own! Either way, I wouldn't have gotten pinched because I'm around too many old folks

I can get a large coffee around here for under a dollar at almost any convenience store, though I usually just make my coffee at home. I guess if the dairy thing is an issue, it makes sense.
My brother is absolutely in love with Starbucks. I was out with him a few months back and he wants me to try it. Having absolutely refused in the past, I figured I'd go and try it, just to satisfy him and see what all the damn fuss is about. I got a mocha something-or-other. It was good. It was not, however, worth the six damn dollars it cost me to get this mocha in this little tiny cup. But that's just me. I love my coffee, but I ain't gonna pay out the ass for it.
