I've had to change my policy bc this situation has come up before and
it's not fair to the paying members. I am trying to be fair to EVERYONE,
so I'll be glad to have you as a paying member. I'm sure your friend is
going to enjoy the class, so all will be happy.
Have a place to go if your in person, IMMEDIATELY to quell further
discussion, or someone's at the door if your on the phone.
Make your case and stick to it.
I'm going to say something that is hard for everyone to do, but
sometimes SO necessary: If she insists on "gnawing" on you,
after you state your 'new' position and resists your efforts to
stick to your guns, she may not be a good friend to have.
