Because I can't figure out how to email you...(it so must be after midnight). I will just put my oh so ever private comment right here on your blog. I am enthralled. I want to read every single post you have written, and I havent even read a single one. I read your headline. I am married to a sex addict..no you didn't just say that did you?...She did...well maybe she was joking....that is not a funny joke.....maybe she wasn't joking...oh.. I scrolled down the side, I have read those books...oh...this isn't a joke...this is someone who gets it, all of it...the sticky crappy addiction part... and the hallow empty aching autism part....oh I didn't know there was anyone else out there who got the luck of the draw....two for one today sex addiction and autism, just because you look like you could use a good cry, now off you go, and by the way, you get a extra helping of shame just because we have extra.... Now I will come up with some clever name to comment under because I can't figure email out after the sun goes down, and next time I will use my real name, but you will know it's me...wink...wink.

Great post. I don't get those requests often, but when I do they tend to be annoying.

Someone once offered to send me a free book if I did a critique on the blog. It was a novel about Latino gang life in Chicago or something. Their selection criteria must have been: Latin gang-themed book + Puerto Rican blogger = match made in heaven.

I toyed with the idea of answering something rude, but ultimately decided against it.

Amen!!! What a marvelous way to respond to this kind of constant irritation! I’m tempted to ask permission to ‘borrow’ and share this myself. That said … methinks you’re correct in that it’s not likely to reach the ‘intended’ audience. Hopefully it DOES make you feel a bit better having written and shared it on your own behalf. You speak for many of us I’m sure! Methinks I need to teach myself about the ‘cool canned response feature’ that will allow you to send an edited version of this to those who do write. ‘Kewl’ feature indeed.
Hugs and blessings,
