I haven't forgotten! I drove two hours out of town yesterday to test drive a car....ended up bringing it home!
It was so late when we got back, and I was so tired that I just went to bed.....and then couldn't sleep because I was a bundle of nervous energy.....
Sending PM now ♥
Exciting! I'm installing Words with Friends now - sent you a PM. What did you end up getting?

Something's been bothering me, so I thought I'd put it here - I've been doing some soul searching and ran across this snippet:

"Don’t Correct People, Point them in the “Right” Direction
Sometimes, people are wrong. Sometimes, they say stupid things. But not every wrong thing someone says needs correcting, or at least, not from you (or me, for that matter.) However, when you do decide to butt in, there’s a right way to do it and a wrong way. I always went straight for the throat with blunt comments like, “no, you’re wrong...” or whatever. That doesn’t always go over that well.

We’ve talked before about correcting someone who shares false information online, and some of those same rules apply here. Be polite, only correct people when it really matters, and try connecting with people as opposed to correcting them.

For me, the simplest way to do this is to ask questions instead of rushing to tell someone “actually...” like I mentioned earlier. A good set of questions can steer someone to the right answer without you calling BS."

It's from this link:
