Please pardon my late reply and accept my gratitude: Jennaorgana, Catherine2 and Byzantine. I'm doing better as I'm typing this, starting to feel a little more clued in as to what's been tripping me up for so long, but little by little. I'm also starting training with the Census Bureau tomorrow, which at this point is a welcome change of pace. Anything to stay busy right now. Byzantine, I'll have to read and implement the advice in the link you pasted in your reply.
