Have to vent

[carpoor]

You are a more patient man than I am Ray. I would have already blown up and told everyone to kiss my ass. My mother gets very demanding at times, and unfortunately - I've had to be short with her and put my foot down. I don't deal well with anyone trying to boss me around or take me for granted.

All that said, I'm not the best one to give advice... however I find that "think faster than you speak" works best for me in most situations.
