Donna, Your one of the 2........no more, no less Not an issue of 'wanted or expected'.....didn't care....just wanted a Mother's answer ( more importantly your thoughts)... You did ... and I respect and appreciate your response... You directly were not being chastized..........sorry if I made you feel that way......
