Don't give her any ideas HarM! She'll probably be nice to me 'cause she knows I haven't slept in about 65 or 66 hours. It's been one of those weeks, and it's only Tuesday. I think.... 'Course if I do it again she'll probably have me flogged around the square or something. <g> You can copy and paste anything that may be of any use to the Community TWiki, can't you Anne? Pretty please? With sugar on it? Sprinkles? Chocolate sauce? lol I just noticed the fortune on this message. My system is insane; which is OK since apparently I am too. Gotta hurry away again so I can get close enough to started so that I'll feel I'm making at least _some_ headway. Some *hobby* I picked.
