Crazy indeed. I enjoy shopping, just not this time of the year. So I am usually done shopping by Thanksgiving. There are lines this morning....this morning!!!....people trying to catch more sales. Are we in a recession??? I did go back out to get stuffers for the critters stockings. In my experience, those shopping for their animals are quite the relaxed bunch...<G> * Ileana * Inquest GSD's, Home of : DEXTER, aka BISS 3x Sel EX AM CH & 2x Sel CAN CH Karizma's Cacique of Inquest TC, DM normal JACKIE, aka Kaleef's Expensive Date, HT (major pointed) and the Poodle Patrol, Bunny, Huckleberry and Doc Holliday In a message dated 12/24/2011 5:02:25 P.M.

I looked at them. They are a piece of junk and are poorly made. But, I don't think that is the point. She made it to the Christmas party. She said she was the only girl in line, so she had a good time. All the guys were being nice to her. Evan L.
