Keep hanging in there Lori! Glad I helped a little. You can always
email me direct if you want: airons@one.net. Might take me a day or two
to answer as that is my home email and I don't check it every day, but I
will email you back. It is always helpful to chat with someone who can
listen. Keep your chin up and try to stay positive.
Hugs!!!
Amy
