OMG, what an awesome comment! Thank you so very much! “Every-Guy” is inspired by a guy who treated me like garbage, so there’s lots more to write about him. Just speaking the truth. 😊 So glad you enjoyed it!

Wow. Some nice descriptive stuff here and it made me feel really angry - at myself I think. I like that it made me feel some gut reaction. Dangerous words here

I would never want to be in an argument with you, your words would have me tie my own rope, before you watched me kick the stool!
