Mission accomplished. I had set it to not use cookies, which is what I wanted (although I'd like to eat some right about now), what I couldn't figure out was how to log on. I had no problem locating the big logout door icon at the top of the screen, but somehow missed how to get in. anyway, in search of the 'edit profile' link that i origionally clicked to post that last message, I couldn't find it! but, I did manage to the see the 'Not cookied? log on with user name and password' at the bottom of the page. Ta da! In I came! Now I guess I am officially here to stay.

feeling silly, but quickly getting over it,
Jeanette
