If anyone knows of any other big chains I missed, let me know.

p.s. thanks to all have emailed Jill on my behalf. as someone noted, hopefully tomorrows action will make 125.00 seem like chump change....not sure if i would pay it though - i am just too cheap.

by the way, i sort of sold some today - wrote august 35 calls on 15% of my shares. was my way of doing a little profit taking.
