Jo Ann,

Sounds like you needed to call everybody’s bluff a very long time ago. Most people tell you what to do or not to do because they can’t stand to have loose-cannons around them. Way too uncomfortable for most to be around people that might do something unexpected. All of that is true EXCEPT for people that are “true” friends. True friends are friends regardless of how out of control you get, so please, go piss-off somebody! You may finally know who to keep and who to throw-out, by the way, that choice is exclusively yours.
