Blast from the past

Didn't you ask this same question some time ago? You must have all kinds of pining hangers-on from the past.

My reaction? "No thanks, crazy one."

Nothing wrong with contacting someone from the past to say hello, I reckon, but to start the conversation with "i've loved you for 20 years, how ya been" is pretty whacko. IMHO.

I don't recall asking it, but who knows?

Also for clarification, this person was talking in the past tense and claimed they were not wanting to reconnect, just set the record straight, so to speak.

Take her out for an expensive diner, go to the men's room, and slip out the back door. That'll learn her.

Well, she's Japanese so I should do it on 12/7 in honor of my dad's Marine Corps buddy.

I think she's thinking of Elspode.
