Sweet Merciful Jesus !! I can finally say Congratulations to the both of you !

Best of every blessings ! This is wonderful news !! (F)(F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
