Okay, I'm really not sure where the idea I want to "control" the situation comes from, particularly in the context many of ya'll are using it. "Influence" is a FAR more descriptive word. Anyway . . . I've decided that I'm not a "do nothing" sort, and I'm gonna go with my original plan to let her see the "Beware of Friends Advice" article.
As for me trying to convince ya'll I'm a "smart guy" ehh . . . .not really. I keep pointing out that I'm not a "dumb guy" for the most part. The irony here is some of ya'll egos are "through the roof" here, and simply because I don't cave to your egos, you feel I must be an egomaniac. If the problem weren't so serious, I'd think this was amusing, in all likelihood.
Tristan: Thanks for actually doing what I asked, I really do appreciate it. Not one to beat around the bush too much, being the "shallow, evil, clueless male" most of ya'll have me pegged as being . . . . I'm gonna give it to her in about fifteen minutes, and despite the rather judgmental tone most of you take so quickly . . . I'll fill you in on what happens, good, bad, or indifferent. Maybe someone else can learn from my actual experience, rather than a few unconvincing theories by people prone to snap judgments.
Later, Ron
Life may be short, but . . . well . . . it actually IS short, now that I think about it . . . . particularly when compared to planetary formation and stuff.
