I knew it was you screaming. I wish I had the nerve to shut off my phone. My Mom called yesterday and wanted to know if I had ambein. I sometimes take them. It was 7:40 am when she called. She thought it was at 7:40 at night. I just laughed and went back to sleep. Boy we have a lot to look forward to in our old age. Gotta laugh. Hugs to a friend. Barb
