Nope, not for me. just now and then. I hate intermittent software problems! :)

How's the world treating you these days? I'm "semi-retired", i.e., I
voluntarily dropped from full-time to two days a week a little over
two years ago, once I got to where I could get full SS benefits--I
didn't want to take less than I could get by retiring early. I'm
enjoying the five-day weekends!
