Loving all the pet photos. We are down to one kitty now. Lost so many in the last couple of years, down from six a few years ago and eight when my son used to visit. Now he only has one too.
If I may say something here about the disappearing long posts. Whenever that has happened to me, even on facebook, it was usually from floppy fingers or laptop keyboards with a touch pad doing their magic. Something for you to remember to try next time - HIT CTRL Z and see if it doesn't bring it back, It must be done before any other key is touched. Ctrl Y is redo, but won't work in as many places you might go.
