Hi Chris and welcome to GR.

Flygirl3002 posted this thread over 5 years ago.

If you would like to contact her.......click on her name and you will be able to send her a private message. If she is still a member, GR will notify her that she has received a message.

Prickles ;o))

Edit: PM sent to Chris.

Welcome to the boards and GR Chris.

As this thread was started 5 years ago, the opening poster, Flygirl3002, may not be expecting anymore replies. She never returned to post an acknowledgment for the suggestions found for her.

You could try contacting off-board by clicking on her name. If she still has the same email account linked to Genes, she'll receive notification that you are trying to contact you.

It is possibly for you to check at anytime if your message has been accessed. Look in your 'Sent Messages' box on Genes. Unopened ones will have an envelope icon next to the title. That disappears when its read.

Good luck - but don't hold your breath
