I beleive there was a computer problem twice yousaid We will back with you Megan but you addressed it to two different people one not megan. I see it happened with another person who asked also. I'm just trying to figure out the structure of you answering the questions. I learned some things from people you did answer. Some people said they were 1st or 2nd waited (like standing in line) and you never answered them.

Thank you for organizing all these questions from your forum. As always, your effort and kindness are always appreciated!!! God bless!
