Hi Judy, pour yourself a glass of wine (it has to be cocktail time on our eastcoast even if you don't live there), click off Fodor's for a minute and than come back to Fodor's and see what happens. Do you have gremlins in your computer, lol. If I have any problems I will post back here.

Those Fodor gremlins got me twice today. I wrote a looooong post (way to long) and edited it numerous times. Then I realized that no corrections 'took', but if I deleted a paragraph and then rewrote it, that both versions of the paragraphs were still in the post.
Sooo, then I decided that the gremlins were punishing me for writing such a long boring post and I deleted about 75% of it. It looked good on my screen, so I finally posted it.
Guess what, every single typo, misspelled word, plus the duplicated paragraphs, etc... were all there, alive and well. How embarassing.
About 5:00PM, DH contributed a post, not willingly, but because I asked him to. He hit 'post my reply' and after several minutes, his post had not yet appeared on the thread.
Miss Know-It-All here, insisted that something was wrong. He wanted to wait another 10 or 15 minutes and check again. Actually he just wanted to get out of here and do car stuff.
At my urging, about ten minutes later, he re-wrote his entire first post. Before posting, he checked and it was still not a the bottom of the thread. As soon as he posted, it appeared immediately. Same subject matter, only worded a little differently.
Not a happy camper was he ---- so I haven't had the nerve to say that it's time to leave the garage and come back into the house. Of course once he smells dinner cooking......
