If Jeff started a marriage proposal with "I need your advice," she would probably accept.<br /><br />My verification word is "beref" - one letter away from "bereft," which Gina purports to be.

Perhaps since Mary was instrumental in getting Liza out of the nursing profession, Mary thinks it's her duty to fill that position herself.
