Ain't that the truth! I finally realized -- and continue to rediscover, unfortunately -- that I have been wasting my breath with her (and here I thought I was the stubborn one in this R.)
I appreciate the insight, Cali. I just have to find the strength of character to bite my tongue whenever her alien spew comes out -- it is not easy for me, since I have this strong, natural urge to correct falsehoods and misconceptions when I hear them. If I can somehow steer clear of R talks, I'll be fine. Forgiving her (at least within my own mind) is supposed to help.
