Bob, welcome!!!! You are in the right place, and we are all here to welcome you with whatever you need. Any questions about stuff going on in your life, just ask. We also have no qualms about discussing remedies like a popular one, constipation -- therefore, if you have some suggestions, please feel free to express them. I haven't heard anyone yet say they are offended by our lack of candor. We are all simply sick people and are grateful for every bit of information that can help in some way, curb at least one-tenth of the stuff that comes along with ARD. Believe me when I tell you, just read all of the postings that are exchanged back and forth all day long and weekends -- you will become so used to what we all say, that you won't even remember this conversation!!!! (smile) Again, any questions or suggestions will always be responded to!!!!! Gotta run, but have a blessed day and again, WELCOME BOB!!!!! LauraN
