Birdie - is your dizzyness when you tip your head? Either to the side, or look up at the sky? I know i've had this thing called BPPV.

Sandy - GREAT idea to write down everyone's names and information! It's HARD to keep track of the whole gang! Barb! Thank you SO much for sending out the search party!
