Hello all,
 
I'm really so tickled that the intro thing caught on so well.  It's great
to have stories and personalities to put with the names on the list.  I'm
so glad so many people took the opportunity to introduce themselves.
 
Also, my very belated thanks to all who took the time to email regarding
the "proper" British term for ferrets, plural.  I forwarded all the
responses to my friend in Oxford , who reluctantly but graciously accepts
"business" as the address of choice.  We had a great time with it, and
again, thanks so very much to you all.
 
The tree is up, the stockings unpacked and are ready to be hung, and the
ferrets have volunteered their services as package un-wrappers.  I'm
gearing up for the next chemo go-round, but in spite of it, things are
just wonderful.  I feel like a little kid again around this time of year !
 
All the best to you and yours ,
 
Kym and the Eleven Uber-Spoiled (actually, mom, we always smell like that )
Furred Dictators
 
...and much appreciation for BIG , who is dealing with all these
additional posts !
