Thank you! I plan on listening - as much as I'll hate not driving and not hanging out on the computer, I don't want to mess things up - I've waited too long for this to take a chance on doing something to mess it up!

It may be a little while though. I am going nuts here this week and am having surgery on monday, so I will be out of commision for a while afterwards. I'm not sure how long. Guess it depends on how things go. I understand I may not be allowed on the computer for a few weeks afterwards. We'll see about that though!! Maybe just not for long time periods!

The friends list and blacklist are enabled on some, disabled on others. I can try to help you offlist if you want.
