I also answered that (but with more detail) on the Feb 2 thread, and then copied it over to the What's On Your Mind Today thread to better corral the collective wisdom/experience that I hope this question brings to the surface. I am sure many of our newer members are wondering the same thing.

OF COURSE it is OK!!
