sure. Love ya all. I have to work on the findagrave site and they overdo the ads. It's incredible, and makes it hard to work there.
Got it on my puter. What a relief from the barrage of ads! Now I can concentrate on doing my work.

AdBlock has sold out. They're now on Team We Should Be Able To Responsibly Spam Your Screen. uBlock is still run by the good guys.
