Thank you for going easy on the Doggies, PeterS--- but they really don't deserve it. Lacking in sooooo many areas.
Missed the GOMC again today, it's now over a month since I was at a meeting, maybe they'll be looking for a new secretary...hehehehe......... |

Talking of the lack of posts- Philly's internet connection is on the blink again. Seems his computer is \o.\k. but it will not connect to the net.
