Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoyed it.

Ok, I have to apologize for the belated answers. (Badly Belated) Both I and my daughter have been sick, and after 2 weeks of her vomiting nearly every day, her doctor tells me she isn't actually ill anymore... She does it because she's stubborn. *sigh* It's been a VERY long and busy two weeks for me, so I hope you all understand.
