[QUOTE="Star*, post: 445903, member: 4964"] Well our saga ends ladies........I bought a dragon, a castle.....ROFLOL....... Okay so after a lot of (and please forgive my whining) but trying to take a disabled person in and out and in and out and in and out of an older suv and into a store all day? Well let's see (thumbing through my brain for polite verbage because he would have rather jumped into a volcano with a marshmallow suit on) It was a blessing to have him along! Yessssss ~~~~~~~~~~~:-< That's what it was.....A blessing. So many stores, so many non-salesmen.
