This causes me to believe that you may have never clapped for Tinkerbell! Oh, my! Seriously, you amused me and I know your muse truly wanted to speak on the romantic issue in this way. I feel that same way about Hallmark movies where everything always works out by the end. Thanks for the giggle ... CayCay
