Itza, you present some very valid points. I've not heard from her since the email mentioned above. I know, from previous conversations with her, that I'm not the only one who stopped communicating with her. Others dropped her as well. Maybe I should explain but I'm not certain I want to bring back this supposed friendship. She was always trying to get me to ask my husband to invest in one of her many money making schemes and when I did call her during my visits back home, I'd ask her to lunch and she would insist that I didn't bring my daughters with me. Nope, now that I write this, I don't think I'm going to respond. I'll just let sleeping dogs lie. But I do appreciate your thoughts.
