Jbug,

I was just thinking about your post some more, and realized you should be allowed to go for a little while, and then leave.

Since these people are gossips, they will talk about you no matter what. You should be allowed to leave and study. It's the perfect excuse.

Gosh, Jbug, otherwise you are like one of the British Sailors, being held hostage by the Iranians -- LOL!!!

Love,

EJ
