I have, but thanks for your concern.0 -
Yes, pat,you win! there are those out there that don't like disagreement and do take it personally. It is a shame as open debate is what makes a forum but I try to rise above it. Glad you found the time to post about it though. Have a nice evening.:)

Even more so to have loads of friends on Facebook also thinking it's atom!:rotfl:If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -
