Thank you kb...getting used to using everything that's offered is a bit of a challenge for me right now. Being a lifelong bibliophile, I am so impressed at the variety of books I see shared on this site. I think I need to let Chris know some of my questions about getting started.

If you feel like I was snooping let me know but right now I can't help sharing this:

Strong words, more funny than inappropriate yet still a bit of both. Of course you were a much younger woman then.
