Fruity, I feel you need to be aware that us Decemberites of 2012 are one of the most possesive of the months and tend to not let people leave once they have entered out cyber space. So you are one of us now (you also cant turn us down as we are also very sensitive and get our feelers hurt easily by rejection) so we expect you to post here whenever you want and to send us all cookies and fudge, (that part is something I made up, the first part is true, unless of course Dee says otherwise)
Courage! wonderful job! Good reaction to your friend also. I think that Each time we have to confront something like that we get stronger and the AV gets weeker.
take care all and have a great week!
