Whew, I thought I was going to have to switch email addys again. I was not looking forward to having to pay Yahoo for theirs. I'm certainly not wanting to since I got a hospital bill to pay on now. Oh well, I'm living if that counts for anything. ;-) Since I am on dial-up, I hate the ones that have HUGE video clips attached. I have had to sign in via webmail and just delete the email without ever even seeing it. Don't you love it? Maybe I shouldn't mention that since it may give someone ideas. LOL Dale :-) :-)
