Ted,
Thank you very much for the meaning. That certainly makes some people look stupid when they say it is a derogatory word (not intended against anyone in this group). I worked with someone a long time ago, and they got into trouble, long before the policital correctness police came along. Why can't we have those simple times back again, life was so much fun then. These days you have to think twice before you say anything. Never mind.
Paula
