Okay, Alpha Chi, and Bill and Diane are known for often disagreeing, but,
gee whillikers, when I read their recent posts BOTH boil down to "Don't
over-do the Linatone; yes, your ferrets will love it, but too much is bad
for them." Surprise!  You AGREED with each other!  I know it can be
difficult; do you need to sit down, friends?
 
Appearances can tell how much money a person spends, but they don't say
ANYTHING about how much a person saves for emergencies.  Recommend the book
_The Millionaire Next Door_ being read before any shelter judges ability to
care for a critter on appearances.  Hey, we had Wall Street folks around
here who lost their homes and cars in the last big dip because, even though
they earned $500,000 and up each year they had only enough to cover their
costs for 2 weeks in savings!!!!!!  Some folks live high.
 
Great holidays to all!!!!  Have a bit of fudge, or some kuggle, or fruit
soup, or peanut stew, or wassail, or some other fine treat and just tell
yourself you are having it for me!
