Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Good luck Angelia and it's time to get positive thoughts going. That is like this anneurysm. It could have blown months ago and is ready to do just that. But I am here and enjoying life. We can't make time for the bad but plenty for the good. You are too nice a person to worry so much.
