Took me 20mos from start to finish with His Virgin Acquisition. 4 1/2 mos between my last revision and The Call, and in the end, I promise, the wait doesn't matter.

When I turned it back on I found my ed had gotten back to me about two hours after I'd turned off my connection. I waited an extra two days for nothing.<br /><br />So check compulsively I say.
