Try to keep an optimistic attitude about Thanks for the reply Phil. That sounds like sage advice. I run a .log of these messages and I can try to cut and paste that link and have a look. I do try to keep a positive attitude that whatever bad comes I'll be able to ride it out--and that's usually what happens and sometimes with me being the better person for the experience. Just one small example would be finding out that being punched repeatedly in the face isn't the big deal I'd thought it would be--I hardly even noticed it when it was happening. It's interesting the way life plays out--sometimes it almost seems as if in order to make any progress in one direction one must pay a forfeit in some way--some sort of balancing act or parity.
