Thanks, Belle!

(....but my English teachers would not be happy that I ended the last sentence with a preposition! LOL!)

I always like to quote Winston Churchill on his reaction to being criticized for ending a sentence with a preposition:

"This is foolishness, up with which I will not put!"

(PS--I taught English for 5 years. I grant papal dispensations for dangling prepositions.)
