If he is a smart man, and clearly he is, the question will never be asked.

Some things are meant to remain mysteries.

I'm glad our relationship does not work that way.

Would she make a list for me? I'm going camping and want to make sure I don't forget anything. - Seriously, I think she may just be a very thorough person who is making sure that you don't miss anything. I wouldn't take it to heart.

This probably just falls under "It seemed like a good idea at the time".

Sometimes things are better just ignored. It may have raised your hackles, but if you turn it into an "issue", or - whatever Gods forbid - she gets ahold of what was written in this thread, she will have to get defensive about it. Or is it too late already? :worried:

She barely can get her own email and still doesn't fully understand that this isn't a "chat room", so I'm not too worried.

I just let the whole thing drop. Compared to the notes she leaves for the sitter, I was given pretty free rein or reign?

Is it like ruling reign or like steering the horses rein?

Steering horses rein.
