Ann, You're missing the point as to why we wrote the message. The fact is, Diane was rude with the way she jumped us about that particular mistake. We see misspellings, no dotcoms, and booboos, including on your message, but we don't complain. We believe that the only reason people complain about something on ours, and we don't post very often, is because we do our messages together. Oh well!!
