Hon, let this older gal tell you something:
ASK HER!Our bonko mainstream society trains and conditions us to obey, endorse and conform to whatever they dish out. They teach us NOT to ask but to submit. Nine times out of ten, those who get what they want in life ask for it. That, in large measure, is why they get it. Ask!
Peace & Hugs

Cindy Jameswhose sky-high reputation rate is very well-deserved. This lady you know and Cindy as above are those rare people who have a special gift. Be glad you know somebody like that. This lady you mention is a treasure.
