Okarol, the dedication you give to all of us is amazing.  I only wish this promotion came with a huge raise!  Thanks for all you do everyday to make our lives better. You are the perfect one to fill Susie's shoes.   Love you :cuddle;

Thanks Paris.  :cuddle;

Raise??? Sluff keeps telling me "the check is in the mail."  ???  ???
