Thanks for the kind words ... as I told a friend "the physical trauma will heal; the emotional may never" but I'm working on it and humor is wonderful medicine. BTW, has anyone besides me seen Bob Dole's ED commercials? I sleep with my tv on and was awakened one morning last week to the sound of Bob Dole's dissertation on ED ... and I've been shaking my head every since. Is nothing sacred? Does that make him a sad (_ * _) or bad (_*_)? jenny
