RIP Lynne, hope St Peter didn’t confiscate your jackboots when you got to heaven. 😃 **Lynn** would have had you drawn, quartered, hanged, and flogged.

When I posted thread #4999 (I’m old, # before digits means **number** 4999, after the digits would be 4999 **lbs.** I still don’t get hashtags) it seemed appropriate to note the next post.
