planet - I apologize, I didn't mean to just come out swinging at you. I know you're in a rough situation and it's hard to figure out what to do. I can't figure out things sometimes from hour to hour!
Don't fret it. I understand where you are coming from.

I wish she would only listen instead of fighting me. I guess I have to do this by myself but D4 is such a smart monster, it's going to be a tough one.
