So the pencil-pushers don't see any corresponding drop-off in sales and
think it was successful...  I know we've talked about this before...

 ML>> last week meat.
 NB>> As long as the sausage didn't leave behind problems, 'twas a good use

ourselves, so I mostly only saw them in the stores... :)

 NB>> we gave our son dolls and tea sets and kitchen sets, along with the
 NB>> trucks and muscle men etc... also blocks and tinker toys and lincoln
 NB>> logs etc... 
 ML> I got books, mostly, but I wanted to play with the pots and
 ML> pans from a very early age.

Books went without saying... (G)  They were classified as among the
necessities of life...  ;)
