Hi Hat,

My name is Deborah T and I'm 48 and live in Georgia, about 35 miles

west of Atlanta. I live with my husband and my daughter, my son is

married and out of the house. I have FMS and it's maladies was

diagniosed in 94. I salute you for having the courage to shop after

Thanksgiving like you did. My son and wife went to a local

electronics store and camped out all night for a laptop and do

something like that every year but they get the bargains. Hope you

got alot too. Florida for Christmas sounds wonderful to me, we go

there and Savannah when we want a beach, which I would live at the

beach if we had the means. There is nothing like getting my bones

baked on the hot sand. I have been able to travel pretty well just

pillow me up and stop like you say. Hope your flare has let up and

welcome here.
