Thanks, gals. After I posted, that was the other option I came up with. Funny, too, b/c when she told me about mites and treating all the snakes, etc., it was my first instinct to help in some way, even financially. But I am glad I didn't vocalize the monetary part.

If she asks for $, I'll tell her the truth. It's too bad she didn't quarantine. And we are broke right now.

My husband says to stay away from her and not even call.

I'll climb out of this hole after awhile, I guess.
