If I suggested you use GoDaddy.com for your email, I'm sorry. They SUCK. There is nothing else I can say about it. First, they blocked all YAHOO Groups.

When my boys were really small, I was living paycheck to paycheck - sometimes it seemed more like hand to mouth.  I decided to save up money for a vacation, without going into debt.  There was no way anybody was going to give me a credit card anyway.  I tell you this story because for some people...

The package left yesterday.  Every signature in place.  Every "i" dotted, and every "t" crossed.
