  • Gosina says:

    Puta merda! You’re some frickin’ nice Facebook stalkers. 🙂
    As you know, sharing too much stuff on Facebook is scary. You could be tracked down and hacked to death by a maniac… 🙂
    Woah! I’m totally overwhelmed and blown away from today’s shoutout, and of course from your awesome podcast. There are so many great and useful stuff I can use for my own story I’ve been writing for a while (just for me). Can’t show that anyone; people would think I’m off my meds.
    Ah yup, you guessed right, and you did indeed pronounce my name correctly. (I just left two letters out of my last name. Have to leave you now ’cause I need to listen to your podcast again and again.
