(enter silly name here)

A friend's recent advice (and test trial) was to replace an ex's real name with a ridiculous one, thus helping the ex seem much less appealing in her mind while also helping her remember why it's a good thing that she's not with him anymore (with Billy Bob, in the friend's case). A cad, a rake by any other (very ridiculous) name has less of a draw on the heart.

I'm attempting to adopt this habit.

Unfortunately, as easy as it is to pick up a bad habit, the good ones take a long, frustrating time to form.

But I'm working on it.

Let me know what my 'silly' name is!

Chad, you were neither a cad nor a rake; there is no silly name assigned to you. I think someone over there already calls you "Boomer," though ... entirely out of affection, I think. Completely different set of nicknaming terms ...

Too kind -- they're all far too kind. And cute. :0) But thanks. I'll keep them on file for future reference (with the hope that I never have to use them).
