Thanks! Yeah, I kinda went into hypo I guess. I didn't have a "save the world" complex today but, the one or two people I did try to help, posed as a challenge for awhile. Annnnd I sorta crossed a line which made things intense for a minute. But it's ok now I think.....maybe....I'll be back. Getting a text.

Ok so I may not be out of the woods yet!
Now I forgot what I was going to say.
