I tried to respond to your pm ( and did, partially), but, as mentioned, I suddenly began having a TERRIBLE time with typing it for some reason -- Very odd -- not happening now, but after my first couple of sentences, the keyboard started "doubling" some letters and refusing to delete others..Never happened before -- Have NO idea what it was, even my tech savvy husband couldn't fix it..I had more to say, and just wanted to confirm that..Will get back when it's cleared up.
