yes... maybe my response would have been better written as

  "I" did something. "me" can't do anything.

i dunno... my mother used to get me with that saying when i'd use the wrong 
form... then i learned to flip them around or shorten them and see if they made 
sense... for example:

  he went to the store with she and i.

flip/short

  he went to the store with i.  <- wrong
  he went to the store with me. <- correct

so the original above should have been

  he went to the store with she and me.

but that's still not right... so another flip/short...

  he went to the store with she. <- wrong
  he went to the store with her. <- correct

so now we have the proper form which would be

  he went to the store with her and me.

or have i really frakled that up being sans c0ffee and having only ~5 hours of 
sleep?
