Thanks, FG! I, too, am somewhat sensitive about people being ignored. I so seldom even start threads here because I'd rather just avoid seeing it sink to the bottom like a box full of rocks. hehe

The boys are good. Tarz is noshing and Ru is napping. I've actually finished everything on my list and it's only 2:30. yay!

I had a hack attempt problem this morning with my ShopHQ account so that took up a bunch of time but it was caught before the payment was approved and the order was completed. Thank goodness for that! I hate this stuff and I REALLY hate how retailers/banks/credit companies won't pursue the thieves, even if they get away with the items. I get that it's not cost-effective but, in the end, it just contributes heavily to more and more thievery. These people know that nobody will come after them so they keep doing it. I, with my keen sense of justice, have a hard time with that.

Anyhoo, hope this finds you and yours happy and well! You have always been kind to me and that sort of thing, for me anyway, NEVER goes unnoticed or unappreciated.

Krimpette - I think they are seasonal, but I'm not sure. Where I live everything comes from somewhere ELSE, but I only notice them during certain times (like now!).

Glmama - It is a relief to be able to get much more for the money if it's not such a major pain (and mess!) to seed them!

I agree and I WILL try the method you posted. However, when I really wanted them this season, I bought them already done. I know, I know, laziness is not a good thing.

I understand how you feel, but the threads that you do start, chicky, are always positive and interesting, and very often helpful. 8)

Good to hear that your adorable sons are doing well. And props for having already (2:30 pm PST) completed the holiday stuff!

Sorry you had some criminal activity earlier today - yeah, whatta PITA - but awesome that it was stopped in its tracks. Seems like cybercrime is ever-increasing because there rarely are consequences, as you noted.

Hope you and the fam are doing well, Happy Healthy Holidays, and here's to a great 2015! Thanks for the nice words; it's easy to be kind to you, and I very much appreciate the way you treat me back, as well as how you treat others.

Empathy and compassion are supremely important, and should always be applied to those that are 'different', especially. I've been 'irregular' (heh) since I was a kid, so I too always notice and appreciate it.
