Sis Why, glad to know that you are not too personally inconvenienced by the strike. I also am in agreement with your insight about today's economic reality.
I thought I heard the union president on NPR this morning as well...

Sis Ann, I am glad Sis Dine brought up the sorrel. She is right.
For the first time, I made bottles of sorrels as gifts for my co-workers. I usually doan give dem nutten... I was up at 4:45 am pouring the rum in it, and prettying up the bottles.(I hope they like the sorrel). Since I am trying to do away with alcohol, I ongle took a likkle sip...:lol I thought that this year would have been my worst yet, but it is turning out to be the best Christmas ever. Giving to those who get on your nerves works wonders. I am going to ask the man upstairs to put you in the spirit.
