Will certainly try this. As you can see, I need all the help I can get just to get through the day. :thumbup:

I also function as a left/right handed person. I like your story, so I'm sticking to it also :thumbup:

The brain solves problems like this when we take a short "vacation" from the attempt to solve the problem.

And thank God, most of the time, the problem isn't a serious problem.
