@Perspicacious and precise DJ Gaylord:
Yes, I should have specified "Fox 5" and not just "Fox", to distinguish the cable channel from the local Channel 5 news.
But Sheila did see that they were from somewhere in the Fox family and guessed they probably would not be too interested in her political points, to their credit (and hers) they dug what she had to lay down.

@Guido: That is technically correct, but try telling that to a Greek or Turkish person (being in Germany, you probably have). (In grad school, we used to put Turkish flags and other accouterments on the Greek students and vice versa on the Turkish students. (us yanks were very juvenile, and they caught on after awhile it was the yanks.... and the poles, and mexicans, albanians, afganis, ghananians, nigerians, malays, chinese {we chipped in}.. [easiest national rivalry to get guffaw out of when your 22]) After they figured out it was everyone but them that perpetrating the pranks, they thought it was funny....before then.....

I was the one that forced her to get pap smears when we first met when she was 23 (her first), but she was diagnosed at 32. We both in succession lost our permanent jobs w/in 2 mos. of each other and had to freelance w/ no benefits. Obamacare just started being a thing, but she got diagnosed before she registered (her yearly was after her insurance quit).
