  5. Really great read. As I read things came to mind here and there and made me smile. You see I write a lot online and I have many online friends but get me offline and it all goes down the drain. I am a total introvert and hard to coax out of my shell. So I am online every day and really enjoy my online social life so to say. I love taking quizzes just to keep training my mind and to see how much I know or remember.

    • There you go! You actually smiled at a few items in the piece. And that is sooo mature of you. For the benefit of others that also allow their curiosity to get the better of them, and land here, I am quoting my disclaimer again: “Тhе соntеnts оf thіs еntіrе аrtісlе hаs bееn сrаftеd fоr іts соntrоvеrsіаl аnd аnесdоtаl vаluе еntіrеlу аnd hаs nо mеdісаl bаsіs nоr any іmрlіеd оr реrсеіvеd mеdісаl vаluе whаtsоеvеr.”
      The headline of my next post will be: “Life is too serious to be taken Seriously. And if my interpretation of your comment, is correct, my next article will mesh nicely with what you say in your comment above. Thank you for an incredibly insightful comment answer.

  6. Thank you, Elena, I’m glad you liked it. Thank you also for commenting. I wonder why Virily has closed communication with staff, did they say why they were doing so somewhere? Regards, Andre’
