It's taken me 4 years to think about this more and more - I still can't come
to a conclusion.  However, when Amelia Fletcher "posed" that challenge of
using "she and me" in a grammatically-correct sentence, she did say that there
was a solution, I'm pretty sure she did.  Alas, I haven't seen Heavenly or any
other Heavenly off-shoot since that day (Oct 7 '94) so I've no way of asking
Amelia about this, and she's probably even forgotten about that day (it was
painful for her 'cause she had canker sores <aka mouth ulcers> so she probably
tried to forget about it all)
