Hi Joy & Sue,
re your sensible dislike of posting personal/sensitive information on this public forum, you may be pleased to know that instead you can contact any other forum members "offline" and directly into their private home email inbox without being displayed on the public pages.

See the "Help FAQ" pages from the menu above or

Basically click on the envelope icon next to a user's name on any thread.

I hope this helps, it seems like you two have much to talk about which is great.
