If we didn't have a bit of daffy in us we wouldn't be messing with Volkswagens.

Such a kind offer Sammie, but I warned my closest friend at WW.  The package is 
addressed to him, so I guess I will find out later today.  He already knows

Love the story Julie.  And I too deal a lot with the folks at WW.  Yep, they 
are great.  Since I know some of them also, and you may be too embarassed to 
call and ask:  Would you like for me to call for you and ask if they got any 
"you know whats" in their package from you?
