There were problems I had to find a solution to, but they were issues I had support for and nothing I had to handle on my own. [For which she's eternally grateful for.] Why do you ask?

You're quite right, I was just curious.

Everyone deals with their own problems in a different way. We're both no exception to this.

You can always let me know if you need help with any of those problems.
