    You and Cat have some issues you ought to have seen to!

    If I entered I'd treat this as a Halloween contest because that's one scary ole letter.

    "I baby my whole family and they eat it up."

    Yeah, flattery is always readily lapped up...

    Happy Halloween, soon the little beggars with be knocking at the door, trying to reduce candy inventory.

    Mrs E.A. Hyde, the sender...must be related to Dr. Jekyll.

    Is the contest over yet? Did I win?
