oh, wendy, thank you. for looking at this before *g* and also for that insight, b/c *koff* that never occurred to me. hee! I got a little choke-y reading it, to be honest. (and I'm glad you didn't mention it during beta! I would have tried to work it in and made it stupid instead of subtle, so thank you!)

thanks so much, hon -- for everything. *hugs*
