Hi David,

You're very welcome.    :)

My oldest brother was able to get home yesterday which made our day even more special.   [he wasn't supposed to come home for a few more days.  he's a truck driver.]

God bless you and yours, David.

You are very kind, David and I appreciate your kindness and you for presenting it. But I am here both as a reader and a supporter for Amy. It is tough to moderate one of this boards on a consistent high scale for long periods of time. Once in a while something comes up that a moderator would like an opinion on. I am here for that to. 

I have an opinion on just about everything! :o)
