Converting my variables to string got my program to the point where its 
asking for my input.  Once I put it in, it bails on me with a comparison 
error.

99  bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer.  Take one down pass 
it around
98
99bottles.rb:15:in `>': comparison of String with 99 failed 
(ArgumentError)
        from 99bottles.rb:15

I still believe this has something to do with my starting point problem 
and not knowing how to specify it correctly.
