                      To let everyone know, Karen has cleared everything up and I understand what happened.

                      Without going into everything I just want to say that Karen has been very helpful, considerate, respectful, and caring about this matter.

                      You could have just said, Oh well, if she doesnt like it she can leave. But that didn't happen. In fact I saw more care and attention to my post about this issue than I bargained for. =)



                      Thank you Karen, and thank you Scott. Thank you to all members that sent messages to show how much you care.

                      Hugs,
                      Tammy

                          Tammy:
                          I'm really glad this got cleared up. Karen was doing such a great job on this that I stayed in the backround. I just want to make sure that if anyone feels posts are missing they should contact a moderator or admin and we will try and resolve the problem.
