Thank you so much TubaDiva for reinstating my guest membership.
After all the time lurking, it was a real treat to post here instead of sort of looking through the window watching everyone else have fun. I’ve spent a lot of time on message boards over the years, and I’m a mod at an ezboard forum, but it gave me a little thrill the first time someone from the great SD actually responded to one of my posts! 
I really hope to be in a position to join sometime soon and want to thank you for the opportunity to post.
