hi Mel,
thanks for being kind & striving to be diplomatic to all. I remember reading many of your posts previously (reg. the fires issues) & I know that you are also a kind person who wants harmony & for all to get along. I'll try...I was just steamed up...if I don't get banned I'll still take a 'cool off break' on my own before further posts!take care!
