I don't distrust women, I'm happy to say.  And what this women did for
me I consider eye-opening, but it doesn't really affect my judgement
of women.  I worked *very* hard not to let it!

Although I have nothing to base it on, I feel the women just decided
to screw me: take the money and run.  She was a healthy women (caveat:
I'm no doctor), and had just been telling me about a tennis game she
had played a few weeks before she walked.
