HaHaHa![:D] I laughed my Caboose off when I read this. Describes how my benchwork magically appeared in my basement. It's funny actually, because the wood fairy has a cousin...the "foam" fairy. She's dating the "Miscellaneous bits and pieces" elf from the bad side of the tracks. His brother, had an elf friend who makes loco's and rolling stock. It all works out...

If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.

a $6000+ tax return sure goes a long way to buying otherwise unjustifiable toys...

Just set your withholdings so that you get a return and not a bill!
