Also, Tony, why does the comment section remember my name and email address, but i have to re-enter my URL every time i post a comment? Just curious. :)
Really, i keep posting just hoping i will get picked for 'Comment of the Week'! lol!!!!
i hope you are feeling better and you and the porcelain god are on better terms!
