thanks MamaTiger, will try them tomorrow. My family thanks you too; those "shingles" were a little hard on the teeth, lol.

Happygirl, you are such a talented storyteller!! Thanks so much for the new chapter. I've missed Joy and Jack and was glad to see that they doing so well! (I only came out lurkdom recently, but have been around for about a year or so and have loved your story from the very beginning). If you decide to publish, sign me up for at least a 1/2 dozen copies; this story would make a perfect gift for at least a few dear friends of mine!

Well, it will be thanks to your idea!!

Furbabymom, that sounds just wonderful! I think I might include a few of those this Christmas for some of my relatives in a pampering basket that I'm planning. So far, I had planned to make crocheted slippers, rice bags (which I scent with a mixture similar to yours or sometimes with herbal tea) and this toffee that my great-aunt begs me to make every Christmas. Maybe I'll toss in a pretty mug, some tea and one of your mug mats and make it a basket of self-indulgence! Thanks for the idea!

(((dogmom4))) Thank you so much for looking out for stuff like this and for letting us know about them! I agree with you that we are all capable of extraordinary good; maybe if the News Media machine highlighted stories like this, we'd see even more examples start to show themselves.
