"A very nice basement."

So dry! I'm still laughing.

I absolutely LOVE reading the narrative stitched together after having lived all the bits alongside you. The trip you were taking February 2022 to New York? That was with ME! You've left me hanging.... It's a page turner that I don't want to put down.

Thank you so much <3 And here's what's funny! JUST this morning I connected via Buy Nothing with the lady who loaned me the coat for that trip and later this week we're going to chat about Substack. The world is small, weird and wonderful!

Such a great series! I am snowed in on a Friday and devouring every installment. Your way with words is captivating and your real life stories are stranger than fiction!

I got HPV from an exotic male dancer. He was very very sexy and everytime I hear the song Where Do You Go by No Mercy I think of that fateful 90s night. I've experienced nothing more painful than acid and nitrogen on my genitals. But almost worth it ;)

Ugh, I'm so sorry you had that experience and so glad at least you had a good sexy time out of it.

I have read and listened to all chapters. I don’t comment because my comments in the moment are “what else can we expect from a man who spells his name this way?” And “I don’t trust where he gets all this money from. There’s no way he went from Alaska to coach bags and BMWs” and, simply “the AUDACITY of penis people never ceases to amaze me yet is never a surprise”

Thank you so much for reading. It means so, so much to me.

And yeah, the first time we met I asked, "What happened to the H?" He had a weird story about how his birth certificate said "Crisenzo" and then it was changed to "Cristofer" and I can confirm "Cristofer" is correct. Court records don't lie, but I'm sure he did about that Crisenzo business.

And yeah, he made a decent income from his job (can also confirm he actually did have that job) so he could afford the Coach bag. I will have more to say about how he was able to afford both the Beemer and his previous Challenger.

Still riveting, and sleuthy! Also, agree- fun to read and fun to listen to :) Also vulnerable and giving Dirty John vibes which I of course hope it doesn't live up to!

Thank you so much <3 And no, we don't get to Dirty John levels of fuckery. No one dies. But, there are def. more twists and turns to come!
