    Good for you Kim. A job well done. Kept your cool and addressed her in a calm way.

    You ever notice with a "Know It All', that the minute you say something constructive back to them, instead of saying stuff like,"Oh really, is that right" that they don't have an answer back.
    Why is that? Cause they don't know it all, afterall.

    Way to go Kim! I've been through this too. When I told a woman at work that I was adopting a cat that had feral parents, she said that he'd always be wild and wouldn't be a friendly cat. Well she was very wrong. That cat is Cirrus and he greets me every day and comes running to me for pets and also loves me to brush him. I let her know how he was doing and she really didn't know what to say.

    Oops did I just type that. Kim way to go, you made your point & I'm sure she heard it. You never know, you may have gotten thru to her & she just doesn't want to admit it!

    ROTF!!!!! That's priceless, but unfortunately that applies to many of my co-workers too ....

    Kim, I too hate the "know it alls," they are irritating beyond all sense. But, only people like you can truly know the joy of coaxing a timid feral cat to open its little heart and love a human
