Thanx Barb - you finally did get me larfing .. went to be at three this morning, so still feel a little tired, but able to appreciate your humor today! And visualize it!

Don't know why -mebbe 'cause the dog in the cave got plastered. love, val P.S. I'm womonval http://www.gogreen.org - a business that cares - get computers to 'the poor' - when you get free of pain with Mother Nature.
