  • "Thank you so very much for your quick reply. Your answer made me feel so much better. It's kinda nice too, to hear from you that I'm doing okay with this. I sure hope. This legal stuff is mind boggling (certainly not my forte). I've considered writing their corporate headquarters, but want to save that for last. I so appreciate your last line. I will certainly question them and request that information. Bet'cha they don't have any! :) Again, thank you for your advice. Maybe I'll get some sleep tonight! Bless you."
