Marsha, It is what it is, when it is. Micah Greetings, Not quite. It's more like 'it is what it is' versus 'this is better than that'. Of course the previous sentence is seeking a comparison. BUT 'it is what it is' is the answer that is what it is and the one I want. Now I bet I don't make sense even to you. Thank you, Ham. Marsha
