That idea about having a friend come along hadn't even crossed my mind, @lizardlady, thanks for suggesting that!

Here's hoping that nasty old cold front won't keep you in its grasp for too long!

And, thank you both for sharing your experiences and offering encouragement and support to one Pfreaked Out Pfrog!

Every night as I lay in bed ruminating over what all lays before me, I have this sudden urge to just jump up and run - where to I have no clue!

Silly me ... Can't run away from this!

Here's hoping the one I've selected is a good fit, @~Christina ...

I won't know unless I go, so I am determined to make myself go!
