I may not have felt the same way if I had a tighter connection.<br /><br />Thanks anneskal!<br /><br />Erica, it was SO bizarre. I kept thinking that these things just don't happen.<br /><br />JLC, I'd avoid it if you can. I told one of my friends who came to visit to avoid it for this very reason.<br /><br />Robin, I'll have to remember that!
