Oh no you di-int! :P As for the FML, $400 does seem a bit too much for Valentines day. Would be harsh saying YDI, but it seems like you went a tad overboard.

Oh man, if we're going to start correcting the FMLs themselves then I have a whole thunderstorm to lay down.

lmao @ perdix

Perdix, I feel like a traitor for doing this, but you corrected snickerdoodles' spelling, so I must return the favor. You should have said "and YOU'RE going to blow" Insert innuendo here.

perdix I think I have a man crush on you:)

Touché, Cthulu. I all ways make misteaks when aye try too corrrect poeple! Eye should knot dew that.

perdix...Your wife is awesome. :) Why is everybody hating on snickerdoodles? Is she super annoying?

perdix, how do you put the accent mark on the "touche?"

#15 lmao

and now people are trying to correct over punctuations. like the keep attacking me?!? they need a block tool in here!

#95 snickerdoodles is a grammar Nazi. She is awesome. Everyone who can't spell, capitalize, or use proper English gets pwn'd by her, and thus hates her. Perdix is probably using his iPhone, which will either automatically add the accent mark, or else a long press on the e key will bring up these options: è é ê ë ę ė ē I'm not sure how you would do it on a PC, but you could try holding alt while pressing e. I don't know if it will work though.

#94 wordgirl: snickerdoodles is a pretty clever girl who often has funny comments, but sometimes wastes her time and ours correcting spelling and grammar. I was giving her a gentle jab suggesting that being a proofreader is beneath her and she should stick to the funny.

agreed all grammar nazis should disappear and eat it. If its funny go ahead.

#113 Cthulu and #95 wordgirl I use a Mac at home and to make the accent aigu, I hold the Option key down and press E, release the Option key and type another E. The Option+E combo means to put an aigu on the next letter typed.

As do I, but I figured it was 85% more likely that wordgirl has a PC. Or whatever the current percent of Windows marketshare is.

look at this guy!!! GENIUS

I've never seen a comment from 'snickerdoodles' that was in any way humorous...

On a computer you have to hold alt then use num pad and type three numbers. That works on games anyways.

Regarding the é: On a PC, hold Alt and Press 1-3-0 on the number pad. It has to be a number pad. If you're on a laptop (that's not 16" or larger) you should have some way to simulate the number pad with your function key. Other notables: 133 for à, 135 for ç, 136 for ê... basically anything 128 and up will give you an accented letter.

I second what Babybubz said.

ditto correcting people and being mean about it it's not funny!

The Carrot Top thing the other night made me giggle.

I have to agree with this. $400 for a day that didn't personally mean anything to you guys. And even before "I love yous" were exchanged.

Let me try and explain it for you the best I can. I've had boyfriends and boys who've had crushes on me who I would describe as "too attached/ clingy". It's not that I'm complaining that they cared about me, heavens no. It's the fact that there's a difference between a sweet and considerate person and someone who makes me their "everything" in an unhealthy, uncomfortable way. Someone may think it's sweet, but that person isn't me. It probably wasn't that girl either, and she probably would have been even more uncomfortable with an expensive gift. More likely then not, he was probably suffocating her and projecting all of his insecurities on her.

There's a difference between liking someone and smothering them. If they have been dating for a week it is smothering and terrifying. Otherwise, if they were in a longterm relationship then the OP was just dating a bitch.

Giving overly expensive gifts and saying, "I love you", too early in a relationship does not necessarily equate to being truly sweet or caring. It can also mean the person is co-dependent, possessive, or very insecure. If I were OP's girlfriend, I might have felt like I was being bribed.

I actually like clingy and I think this is serious overkill. Spending $400 before even saying I love you is indicative that something is very, very wrong.
