Hiya, Betsey! I saw that the thread was about to be locked out, and since I have yet to make an appearance on this thread, I decided to butt in!
Actually, I am in the process of jotting out yet another rambling e-mail, so I'll spare you the repetition. But, being a girl that can't resist a drink, well, I thought I'd remind ya to include me in your toast!
I hate endings! I laughed, I cried, I loved our threads... (o.k., not always, but I certainly learned a lot!)
