Actually, just to give you the other side of this, I don't actually dislike Judy at all. I *really* enjoy poking fun at her sometimes, because she's such a prig, but that's just me. I wish her nothing but the best and would sit down over a drink with her anytime. But I doubt very seriously that she would agree. You see, as she has stated very clearly above, she really *does* dislike me. I think that there is probably a nice self in there somewhere if it just stopped trying to impress it-self and other selves. ------------------------ Yahoo!
