    OK, that's it, let's just buy all our stuff from somewhere else! That would fix'em!

That about takes care of my Christmas list for this year. Who needs China anyway?
    Wow, maybe we can pick a country with no natural occurring lead? Or maybe we can make a Curious George plush doll made in the USA that has nothing wrong with it except it cost 8 TIMES more than China + import tax. Then it will probably be made in a sweat shop by illegal aliens to cushion Mattel's or Hasbro's numbers and Missy will still cry when she gets clothes and books at Christmas.

    I could rant on!
    But you don't understand my point of view...I suppose there's nothing I can do..Did you stand by me?

    Talk about crying at Christmas. My daughter received a nice dictionary from me when she was in the eigth grade and of course she cried "screaming that no one gets a dictionary for Christmas" - to make a long story short it goes with her everywhere, from college to Iraq to Hawaii. She keeps it in her office to correct spelling that passes through her hands. I never felt bad about those tears. Dad's still know best.
