Got it. And there just may be some truth to that. Thanks. :-)

I'm glad to know that you know this, because it is true.

Vickie,

I think you are thinking about the Harpies that plauged King Phineas.

"Now, either i accept that or i don't." "I accept." IMHO, this
represents a huge improvement over what I perceive to be your
previous outlook about very many things. I also believe that you
also need to accept the fact that you are taking a huge risk that
this may not be the case (i.e., that she's just a friend), and that
it is YOUR risk, but that's a slightly different matter. I like
your approach to this matter, even though it's not the one I would
take.

See? I'm not trying to convince you to do what I would do. :-)
