Deborah Simpson Date: 8/5/2008 9:12:00 AM Thank you Katherine. Certain things transpired, unfortunately, that made it necessary for me to leave. However, like they say, doors need to close sometimes so new ones may open. You're right, I did work my "butt off" lol - but I'll just toss that up to experience, I suppose. Login to Reply
