Hi Sue
No, the rock people are still sulkily chucking stones. But I have been able to kind of side step them for now. The trick, I think, is going to be in making them think that my ideas are really theirs. One is a complete narcissist, interested only in self-glorification, and a notorious idea-stealer anyway; the other has less to prove, and may be more inclined to go along with my plans if he sees that others are on board.
Still... it is a tricky situation, and I have to tread carefully. I wish these people weren't so damned self-interested - this is SUPPOSED to be MY project, but they feel the need to push their own agendas.
Thanks for your prayers and concern, it really helps to know you guys are here!
