You'll both get through this...there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
CM...in SoBe, there is a place called the Clevelander and it is for bikers...there has to be about 100 - 150 assorted Harleys all backed up to the sidewalk...right next to each other...no Kawas...no Hondas, only Harleys. They are either bikes that women or men drive...it really is a fun place...everyone is so nice, mostly professionals b/c those are the ones that can afford the bikes. You should visit the place if you ever come down...
Ben - hopefully you awakened the MIL as to her rudeness. Cut her a little slack...give her the benefit of doubt...I know she was wrong, but remember, she will influence Karla.
