Hi again. I didn't mean I was right about the Jonathan. Who knows what people will do? I did get my info from people who get paid for this but then again-everyone can make a mistake. I just think I would verify it somehow. BUT then I have seen the word days abbreviated to dys. You know, when they give the age of the person who died. 7 yrs, 2 m (forget how they did months without looking at some notes-maybe m) 20 dys. When I see these things I always wonder why in the world would they abbreviate the word days???? Barbara At 12:48 PM 2/19/99 -0800, James H Granger wrote: >Sandy, >You had better listen to Barbara.
