Wow, Jimmy, thanks so much! I love what you said. Yes, well, I do have "some bite in me." I don't particularly speak the way I've written this section of the story but I needed it to be in my voice back then. Just like the earlier pieces showed my thoughts (in italics) as a very young child and you could hear that voice - at this point, I was a "beginning to be rebellious" teenager.

Buckle up... I'm going to have to leave out or alter quite a lot of my story so as not to end up in legal trouble but I'll be publishing plenty that is...well...far from innocent!

I'm so enjoying getting to know you, Jimmy. I wish you lived next door. it'd be fun to hang out and chat :)
