WOW!!  Now I understand why you were all laughing last night.  I am going to

hardship!!  HA HA  Steve O

Ken:

Apparently you HAVE forgotten.  If the truth be told, I would suggest you'd 
"repressed" the memory, but that's just because I'm working at an office

with any number of certified medical counselors in residence.  


Would you care for a referral?

Bests,
