Greetings everyone

Sadly, I must announce the passing of my Monitor. Monitor lived to the ripe old age of 2 before giving his last in an effort to display a Conservative view. It must have been a .jpg of x42 that finally caused his spark to go out.

[sigh]

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're very welcome. I'm so glad you like it, Bunny.

I'm leaving now, so I'll see you later. :-)

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you for letting me know about Kaitlyn.
