Thanks, Pamster!!! I think I am making up for lost time!!! I have spent enough of my life being depressed and missing out on things that I would have liked to have been at -- like my own brother's wedding. I missed it because I was too ashamed to tell anybody that I had messed up my finances so badly. Had anybody in my family known, they may have sent me a plane ticket so that I could attend.
