[left that other site]

Busy, but good.

I couldn’t get onto FR all day though...it was stressful! :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I didn’t have time to try FR today,but had trouble last night.

[left that other site]

I began my fruitless attempts at posting at about 7:00AM EDT and continued until I had to go to work at 2:00PM.

That’s 7 HOURS of frustration!

Grrrrrrr

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! Not a good start to the day. Glad tonight is ok so far.
