Thank you for your (quite unnecessary) apology, Rodrigo. Like you, the comments/interaction with readers is one of the main reasons I hang out here. (It's sure not the gigantic payouts. LOL)

Also, like you, I've happened on a few comments many weeks later that I never spotted originally. I'm sure it's just a glitch, and I don't expect a response to everything anyway. But it's lovely to feel you've made a connection with people, as I have often felt with you and your stories.

I've only ever received a couple of negative comments from people who didn't share my sense of humour, and seemed to me like "scolds." Because I write to try to brighten people's days, it initially felt hurtful. But as someone said, "You can't please all of the people, all of the time." :)
