That's a new one to me. I'm going to have to remember that. Thanks for the enlightenment!

Re: Beg to differ?

Thank you Phil AND Pete

My life is turmoil.  I have money in places that are failing.  I have debt in places that are failing.  I have a son in college and I have to rebuild my own bidness.  No biggie, just not feeling too sassy too often.  When I have things that require intense focus, I don't stare too much at forum.

Happy to pop in and be silly for 5 minutes; now must shove off again.

PeaceOut
FDOL AWOL indeed
