I am back but not able ot read through all email at this time and I as of now do not have time to read through my 1047 messages I already have. I have about 20 gigs of stuff to download and that will take a while so until I can read email via outlook let's try and follow the list guidelines that are posted every month, except for june for now so you can look through the archives.
Thanks and have a blessed day.
