"Oh cash or check is fine, and here's the invoice for your records." "Ok." Check in hand, family can eat, bills are paid, tithes put in the offering, life is good Marshall   <hr />Get in touch in an instant. <a href='http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_getintouch_042008' target='_new'>Get Windows Live Messenger now.</a></body> </html>
