Nope. Don't have any kids of my own. This was the daughter of a friend, whom I helped to raise for many years.

That's a story *you* tell *your*self. On the contrary, as I have stated many times before (and as you have chosen to disbelieve many times before), I assume that I am wrong about pretty much *every- thing*. That helps me when I state opinion X one day and then state opinion Y (completely contradictory) the next day. Both were my opinion at the time, from the respective state of attention in which they were stated. Neither has anything to do with truth or infallibility.
