ORIGINAL: Aylee Thanks! And yes I am looking forward to Christmas! And no, with her it doesn't bother me. I know that the past four years have been busy for her (a job, full-time school, a hubby, and two kids). When I have made it to GJ, we have visited. She has always held the belief that I will have obscure bits of information or will be able to explain something. And as far as the quote thing goes, that is really just an effective use of her resources. I can find things like that more quickly than most or in some cases do actually have it on hand. 24 hours notice would be nice. . . but oh well. I was at the computer anyway. Now I have had so-called friends ask me for favors repeatedly with absolutly nothing in return. To my mind, if you are going to ask me to drive you places once or twice a week, every week, you need to at least offer to buy me a soda once in a while. Because if you don't, I become REALLY unavailable, REALLY quickly. That's good. And obscure knowledge is fun! Me, I know just have trivial little stuff that makes my monsters eyes roll... (Mommmmm, who would want to know that???) And I have the tendency to want to help too much, so it's been a life lesson to learn to back off. It's helped that a few people (my ex being one!) have given me some stellar examples of when it's ok to start saying "No". Still hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for helping though...... Rain
