Thanks for that- I just did the same. I assume you already did the Snap.com freebie deal- they credit 20.00 back to you for you first purchase- I bought 21.00 worth of stuff- including shipping (Some extremely cool gardening gloves from Garden.com- and let me tell you the wrapping job they do is fabulous) and I will get a 20.00 credit back on my card- but you don't have to spend the money at Garden.com- they had a whole list of places where you could shop for your freebie. I don't know if they still have the 20.00 promo- but they might. Planet RX had a nice freebie deal too. And they even put free samples in my package. I'm going to be very sorry when the freebie bubble bursts.

In one case logged by Action 2000, a 102-year-old woman was invited to join a local nursery school because a local authority computer was baffled by a 19th-century birthdate..." Regards, Don
