I'm learning just as much here, Operaguy. :) Your settings are workable, Nerd. I'm at a better starting point now, thanks! the only thing now is that using the diffuse node takes away some of the skin node's "edge highlights", like that blue around her jawline, chin, and nose in the P5 picture above. But the horrible shadow is mostly gone. I'll play with it more tommorow, since i'mm starting to nod off here...
