Sorry everyone, I have been swamped at work and it has taken me over three days to finally get my new laptop set up and I still haven't figured out how to create a password...it was a nightmare with Google and Yahoo especially and some of my passwords aren't working...sigh
I will be back soon, hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning

No problem Z. I've been fairly absent myself lately, what with the new job.
Still kinda scary, but I'm getting better at it. I got my first monthly paycheck which was bigger than expected. It'll get bigger too when my probationary period ends. Also, they pay double-time for overtime and they're giving everyone lots of overtime. I'm not a big fan of overtime but I can sure use the extra bucks these days. The old timers there say it's pretty easy to make $100k a year. While that's not my ambition, I know what to do with that kind of cash.

Cool, I can't imagine 6 figures, I finally got to a decent 5...lol...though my dad made that and I know how different a life it was then for me
Though I am the poster child for I should have high blood pressure, I actually don't...it was 80/70 most of my life and went up to around 120-130 on top after chemo, and with age ...I still sometimes have a weird lower number. from 46 to mid-60s..it is totally hereditary, my mom always had low BP too...and we are both A- which is one of the rarer blood types also.
