After trying to watch it as I do every time you have sent one, I tried it logging in. All I get is the box and the outline but there is no where a play button. I’ve clicked on every place but there is no video. I have no idea why, have never had a problem before. Oh, the title is kind of blurred together, if that helps. If you can I would appreciate you sending again.
thanks,
Lydia
