'''Well, it's immature people who think it is funny that have made that into a sexual thing and internet meme that have turned it into a negative thing. That shouldn't suggest that everyone will be taking it in that sense just because of a few immature people. I have always heard of the term for divorce being called "The Big D" long before it was an internet sexual joke or reference. I have heard it in movies and read it in books with regards to it implying a divorce between a husband and wife and not wanting to say the full word around the children. So even if some people take it that way and refer to the immature new term, that cannot be helped. It still stands as a long time reference to divorce regardless. But thank you for your concern and comment about it.'''

"In regards to the story itself, I like the changes. The shorter format of a journal entry definitely helps, as well as making the more personal comments the woman makes reinforce the idea of a sweet older lady having a bit of romantic difficulty."

'''Thank you kindly. I am glad you feel this format works better. I think so as well.'''

"I feel that, in regards to the creep-factor I'm unable to comment this time as I already know the spoiler, though the idea of a harmless sounding old woman casually referencing hiding her husband's dead body has a definite ring to it."

'''So then, you approve? I hope this is a green light to post it because in my haste I already have. If it becomes a problem then it will either be removed or I will discuss it with a site admin but hopefully it won't come to that and people will enjoy the story.'''
