Thanks to Gary, I can now get back on to this board without having it block my computer with full-screen ads. I missed talking to my old friends so I'll give it a try again until something else happens. The old board would fill my screen with ad that could be gotten rid of only by shuting down. Now, that may be my fault (ignorance) but folks have got to understand that I know about as much about computers as I do women---I know how to use some functions but certainly do not understand them! Also, to get on I had to re-register but couldn't as "Bob" so had to go to "Reuel". God bless--bob
