That's All Folks!
Now that I dont live in Buenos Aires - and how GLAD I am of that - there is little point in writing on the city. I have attempted to write about women's issues here but there are too many people who think I am one of those solipsistic bloggers twittering on about my own life. People too lacking in intelligence to recognise rhetoric and the desire to initiate the lost art of conversation. It's true that there has been a dumbing down of society in the last few decades - most of the dumbest have ended up as ex-pats in BsAs.
I have had many personal stories sent to me via email rather than posted as a comment for the reading pleasure of gossips. Those stories have been reflected in the blog without names - they are not all my story. For people who seem to think they know so much about my personal life - I have had two long term boyfriends since living in Argentina and a slew of admirers aged 19-60 (or more!) much to the chagrin of so-called 'girlfriends' who used me to attract men, tried to live vicariously through my flirtations or just made the usual catty remarks. I still have the second boyfriend.
Some of the female commenters are as bad as the men. Venal comments designed to make themselves feel better. If you happen to have a good relationship, good for you - it's always about what you're prepared to put up with and many women will put up with ANYTHING to hang on to a man - Just check the bruises. The sort of women who blame a woman for being raped because she had too much lipstick on. I thank the Goddess that I am blessed with not having to feel jealousy for other women but I write about it in my book because women can be evil creatures to each other, usually with a sweet smile on their faces. We all know why men write bitchy comments.
Any one who wants to continue the conversation can read the book.
Nuh-uh. I'm not lettin' you get away. ;-)

A bit sad to see you go darlin' heart, but happy for you to be leaving the suck-ass blog world behind and moving onward and upward.
I've enjoyed your writing, and that's all that matters, right?
I wish the best of luck and health and happiness in this life.
Take care,
Alex
