Daylia, Who ate the jam off your toast this morning?
It was simply a question I've pondered since the event. Why bother to answer a post you've questioned on it's sincerity?

The lady was a stranger to both of us. I had just lost my husband a year before & was looking for answers. I was in a depression and thought I might find answers. Since that time I have ,indeed, become more pragmatic.

Frogprince, take a long walk off a short pier! If I couldn't afford it - I would have stayed home. Why do you care about my spending habits? I didn't KNOW this particular lady was a con-artist till AFTER the fact. Got it? Jerk!
