Remember Better Than Sex Guy? Well, our several weeks-long chatting frenzy has come to an end. He currently lives elsewhere, but has retired early and is moving here at the end of the month. So no ‘net for him until the 2nd.

And then there’s his kid. Which wouldn’t be an issue – if the kid were his. Strange, I know. He says he met the child’s mother when she was 2 months pregnant, and when they split up almost two years later, she didn’t want the little guy. So he took custody.
