OzyBob + 100 -

Skuakidd, You need to decide what you want.

Can you forgive? Are you willing to help "her" to build contacts and friends in your neck of the woods. OK cacti.

Can she Skype with her friends back in Ukraine, can you?

My original heading for my first post was "tale of woe - advice needed", but it got changed by a moderator.  I also notice that many have been making assumptions which simply do not apply in my case.  Whatever the significance of all this, I was seeking advice, wrote my story with that end in mind, and advice is what I got, both on the board and PM.  No point in wrangling with those assumptions.  With one exception, no one here knows me other than though these posts, and in person I would likely appear totally different.  Some of the advice/information has been very helpful.  So I got what I sought after and that is what makes a board like this so helpful. 
Someday when all this comes to a conclusion perhaps I will put a more complete story in perhaps the adventure continues (stops?) or wherever seems appropriate at the time.  Even if there is a very happy conclusion I know there are those who pick on this or pick on that or put me up for slaughter, but my experience may be helpful for others.  As I already mentioned, I have been on these boards before.  There is the good and the bad, and I will take the bad so I can gain from the good.

I see: you are way too smart for us. There's a chink in your armor, though.
