[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1403651, member: 160246"] [USER=11441]@catherinecherub[/USER] I was really confused initially because I didn't understand that the original topic was deleted, but, following my confused posts, I was contacted and an explanation was provided. I understand now that no one did anything wrong. Thank you for salvaging what you could. My husband is a moderater too, so I understand both sides of these issues. :) [USER=317541]@Catiecat[/USER] sorry this happened.
