Riiiight. Thanks for watching my back!<br /><br />Hey Insanity! Don't forget, I DO hold back a bit on the language when I blog. I have been known to swear like a sailor at times...but usually, I just wrap my hands gently around laptop's throat and say "What? Do? You? WANT????!!!?"<br />That usually ends the discussion and it reboots all by itself.<br /><br />Monica Manning: Welcome and thanks to Mike for the referral! (I sound like a doctor's office.)
