I agree with everything you said Renee' except one. I have read--and KEPT almost 4000 messages and probably responded to at least 500 of them in the past 3 weeks. That does not count the ones that were duplicated that I deleted. I have spent from 10 to 14 hours a day at this computer during that time, and have not been able to find one connection to my family lines. My sweet new husband has done all the cooking and all the dishes during that time and left me here when I would have rather been on the road with him, so that I could do some research. I have had many offers of help but so far, no one has found anything I can use. I wish it were as easy as "scanning." I read as much as I possibly can until my eyes cross!! :) T. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have an Actually Better Day. Please Visit http://www.wimall.com/talonwhisler Don't forget to sign the Guestbook!
