The challenge I can see, if the form was worded in that way, was a lack of specific definition for the word "trouble". If specific parameters are not outlined in the documentation, then any report of "trouble" might very well be subject to interpretation. Kim Kimberly A.

I would suggest that you turn them in along with their name. Hugs, Andrea M Breier Remember: If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply.
