My Heavens, O:-)
I'm a newbie! Also from New York. Corona, Queens, to be exact. I have 
heard just about everything too. But, I joined this group for positive 

reinforcement. I'm disappointed and very surprised that Reinhard had to 

admonish a few folk. I agree, however, let's keep our focus on why we're 

on here in the first place.

Thanks Reinhard! :-)
