That's a nice bit of history there, Carter! Thanks for sharing!

And thanks for starting this forum. It's a really good way for us to remind ourselves that we are making progress after all and to see how far we have come.

You're very welcome! *nod* Sometimes when I'm feeling low, it helps put me in a better mood to see what all I've done. And that was really the main idea behind it--not to show off to everyone else (although sometimes that can be uplifting to get feedback on it too), but to have a place where I can go to look at my history. Glad you've found it useful!
