You're welcome Cindy. More than glad to help. It's a special treat to know the link-queen is appreciative. It's easier to connect the dots when some of the dots are all in a row. If it weren't for my fellow-FReepers' informative posts, there wouldn't be many dots to connect. Here's a few to add to that list:
