Two things: my email box has over 500 non-spam messages from ferret people dating from my return from Europe. I can only get to a dozen or so a day, so PLEASE be patient and I will eventually get to yours. I am doing the best as I can. Second: one of the worst possible things could have happened. I was burning a personal CD of funny Christmas songs, when I became distracted by Sorci who was attempting to remove the angel from the top of my tree. As I responded to the heavenly threat, Betty Boop creeped onto my desk, and unnoticed, bulldozed a few CDs to floor. I discovered the prank when I walked back to the desk as I heard a crunching sound under my boot. I had stepped on my fairly new copy of Ferret Christmas Songs, which broke through the middle. As a long and dedicated Dr. Demento fan and lover of novelty records, I am broken hearted. I've checked several online stores for a replacement copy, but it seems it is out of stock. Anyone have an extra copy for sale or barter? BOb C [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 4733]
