I have fairly typical talents but I talk a good game. Which IS a talent, actually. Nice avatar. <br /><br />Pat: I felt pretty good about it right after she started yelling at me.

That being said after that initial fit had been thrown she needed to get over herself. Kudos to you for being the adult in the room.
