My late husband used to say something most people don't understand but I think you might. He'd say, "first liar doesn't have a chance." Your comment brings that fond memory to mind. Good one Mike. Glad to be bested by you.

I agree, the woman is poison and you're correct. The very closeness of those words without pause is the crux. We are always forced to simply move on and that too is the trouble. No repair. Repair can be done when we get a breath. Fingers crossed.

Brilliant! That Irony has 'passed' was a solemn moment of realization. Crazy times! Thanks :-)
