Housekeeping... Answering Questions III

Well hell, here we go again. I got some of the usual shitty comments in the inbox...

No, Mohsen did not "pimp me out" to his boss. 

• Yes, in a very round about way he did make the introduction. He let Stacy use my love of numbers and math to draw me out of my shell and reengage the world by keeping the ranch's books.
• Moe did NOT like or trust Zahir around me... at first. Then again, MOE did not trust anyone around the children in his care. 
• If not for an IRS audit, Zahir NEVER would have met me. Does that mean the IRS "pimped me out" to a Jordanian businessman?
• Moe lost his parents to the genocide Saddam Hussein waged on the Marsh Arabs. Family is everything to Moe, all of us kids ARE his family. He was and is Daddy to me.

 No Zahir is NOT a pedophile.

• Yes, Z entered my life at fifteen. That does not mean we were having sex. He was still with his "boy," David a twenty two year old young man straight out of the Israeli Army.
• At age seventeen Zahir was my best friend and mentor. When he was promoted to the engineering department and brought back to Amman I became depressed to the point I wasn't eating. HIS family took me in to recover.
• He did in fact wait until I was of legal age in MY home state. Florida the age of consent is 18 and Florida is quite draconian in their prosecution. 
• The reason he waited three years... One, I wasn't ready. Two,  the age of consent in Florida is 18...  He did not want Moe and Stacy to get in trouble.
  

He is SO much older, don't you see he is manipulating you?...

• Oh WOW some of you are just dead inside.
• Yup, he is eleven years older than me. 
• He has NEVER treated me as a child with the exception of when I have been sick, and on the rare occasion I have behaved like one.
• It is called a May-December Romance. The first lady is twenty-four years younger that his cheetoness. Does that make him a... Never-mind bad example.

To those complaining that I should break my stories up into chapters...

•  My creative process is an exercise in bloviation. It is one continuous thought process until completion. Zahir teases me quite often about my attention span being short...  my countrymen would call it squirrel like.  
• The irony is once I AM on task, my attention is laser like in focus, to the detriment of all else.
• I have received an incredible amount of flame mail involving the length of my last story. I'm terribly sorry  some of you believe you did not get your money's worth. Oh wait I did it without charge.
•  I do owe my fans an apology. I should have  paid more attention on final edits. There are a couple of glaring errors. I was rushing to complete and screwed up. My world of numbers is a lot easier than writing.
