Hi, Jill...You're right...sorry..It was nearing midnight here in Oz when I
wrote that last night...I admit, I didn't see the notes in between mine,
with your comments, Jill...I am not as observant at that time of night and
am not used to reading comments placed in a message like that, even though
some others do in a couple of senior groups I am in....I will have to be
more observant :-)

I haven't yet read the other comments as yet, as I have to go off and take
my little granddaughter to Kindergarten school...Will read the others when I
return later this morning..... Hope no one else have jumped on me when I
look at them later this morning.....<G>
