Goodness gracious!! It takes all kinds doesn't it. You expect to come across those sorts in a "chat" room, the kids pretending to be adults and the "trolls" looking for a bit of late night "cam action", the list goes on, but on a site like this..who knew...lol..oh well, I for one have no intention of letting the whacko's of this world get to me. And yes, thank you, surprisingly, I'm having a good week so far, hope the same for you. Keep smiling, Love Janet
