Sounds good, but.. Well, frankly, as I said, in this case I was in a 
rush to go out the door. If I took that sort of time, I wouldn't have 
made it to work on time, or would have had to come back later, and hope 
the power didn't go out, etc., losing the message. :p And, just because 
I don't stutter any more, doesn't mean I don't think, never mind type, 
the same as I used to. lol
