Thank you for these links!! Nice to hear a SWM say this - and in terms I can easily understand, lol!

*HUGS*

Like I said, I'd hear the metaphor before, but it was brilliant to see it properly laid out. And in terms simple enough for a man... ;)

That's a really good metaphor. I like it.

[elisi]

Yes, it works beautifully. (Which is probably why so many complained so much...)

I need to read some Scalzi. I keep meaning to. But this post and the follow-up posts made me become a fan and I haven't even read any of his books LOL. He just seems awesome on so many levels.

Yes, I've heard the name but never really checked him out. I should probably remedy that...

He will indeed be allowed to survive the great culling. ;)

Love the post! I've really been enjoying everything you've been linking lately--please continue to share!

[elisi]

Thank you! And sharing stuff seems to be more or less compulsory, so no worries on that front! :D
