My daughter is coming over this afternoon and take me to the  hospitol.  I 
will ask her  to look thru the mail for LM cards and  check them out tonight 
when I get back home.  
 
John was basically sick for almost a week and we thought it was the flu and 
 then he slipped on the ice and fell when picking up the kids from school 
last  Wednesday and he figured his pain was from the fall.  He is a typical 
man  and didn't say much to me.

Just an  FYI, the Staples stores do not carry many options in their brick 
and
mortar  stores any more. You need to check what they have online. I can't
tell you  how many items I have gone to the store for recently and then they
end up  ordering it online at the service counter and ship it to me. If you
have a  staples rewards card, you get free shipping.
