Friend Jay,
To answer most important questions first, I am sre th note just ws damp. Moving on, I must apologize because what I did was rash, irresponsible, careless, and could have very well gotten you in a lot of trouble! I made the biggest mistake I ever have in my life, and I do not wish to discuss the matter any more, b/c it is evident to myself that I am greedy and care only for myself in desperate times. I remain in good health.
