Welcome to here, Mary. These guys know what they are talking about, and I
enjoy this group as a daily lurker and occasional poster. Just by reading
everything I have learned so much from here, and have applied it to my TJ
and my former YJ. Even the rare acrimony is entertaining <grin>.

Good luck with your problem and pay particular attention to what Mike says.
