No one wants to sit by a stinky @ss...just not pleasant!
seriously though, cheesyt, doodler and hawker are right. go if you want to and stay home if you don't. It seems like we get caught up in the nuances of every situation w/ WWs when we should just be viewing it as a binary decision.
It seems like you had a lot invested in the nursing school process and that you want to go. I'd offer you go for you and not sit near her.
Hang in there brother!
