Good morning CHL - I am glad to see you back on the board. I know how it feels to want to Babble some when you are emotionally hurt. I have to admit that I really did not read all of the IM's you posted but I did scan through them some and I really did not see where she was trying to "Pick" a fight. maybe some poor attempts at humor that may have come across in the wrong way. I mainly see that both of you are hurt alot and like you she wants to babble some. However, while you are at work you need to be at work and you can let her know in a nice way that you can not respond to IM's that much and stay on the phone that much. Remember that you can only argue with someone on the phone for as long as you hold the phone in your hand.
I think it would be a good idea to talk one on one with talitsa and Deb to get a woman's point of view.
I hope you are feeling better - I know what it is like to have to go to work when you are not feeling so good.
