OT Rename it? Hell no, at this point I'd say you better quick find a photo of your grandmother and scan that in in it's place! Maybe there's still time before that server's history! By morning that "beaver URL" will be linked on dozens of pages. Oh yeah, you might check your Email box. It ought to be filling up quick! Yes Linda, right after they click on the photo they will go straight to your profile....and find your Email address. BTW, who started this photo thing tonight? We're gonna get some mileage out of this.

****OT*******A little humor to brighten-up everybody's day/night: A WW II American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe for three months, when he was finally given a week of R&R. He caught a supply boat to a supply base in the south of England, then caught a train to London. The train was extremely crowded and he could not find a seat. He was dead on his feet and walked the length of the train looking for any place to sit down. Finally he found a compartment with seats facing each other; there was room for two people on each seat. On one side sat only a proper looking, older British lady, with a small dog sitting in the empty seatbeside her. "Could I please sit in that seat" he asked. The lady was insulted; "you Americans are so rude" she said, "can't you see my dog is sittingthere"? He walked through the train more and still could not find a seat. He found himself back at the same place. "Lady, I love dogs - have a couple at home - so I would be glad to hold your dog if I can sit down" he said. The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude you are arrogant" she said. He leaned against the wall for a time, but was so tired he finally said "lady, I've been on the front lines in Europe for three months withnot a decent rest for all that time; could I please sit there and hold your dog?" The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude and arrogant, you are alsoobnoxious."With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog, threw it out the window, and sat down. The lady was speechless. An older, neatly dressed Englishman sitting across on the other seat spoke up. "Young man, I do not know if all you Americans fit the lady's description of you or not. But I do know that you Americans do a lot of things wrong. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you hold your fork with the wrong hand, and now you have just thrown the wrong bitch out of the window."

Linda, great picture! You will be getting lots of Email from the guys on this thread. By the way, there are 3 couples in my practice who met on the net. (Canadian/US) Now if I could only get the weather forecast, we'll have Gary in a snit. Hope he's retired for the nite or I'll get my head chewed off again. When the markets are tanking we need the comic relief. SR
