And again I pop into thank those who have offered their support. I'm so overwhelmed by the responses that I just can't address everyone individually any more. Every single one of you has made a positive difference in our situation.

The last time that a woman said that to me, I barely survived a paternity suit. :eek:

Thanks, Lisa. I'd be pretty useless at personal responses right now, but I will be PMing you before too long.
