I toyed with the absinthe idea but let it go and gladly so, as your example noted! sorry to hear it.
Well, just got back and slept off 12 hours of jet lag last night.... WOW
bought crystal (so cheap!)....I mean, my wife said that one decanter on our bridal registry was $200...in Prague, we got a whole decanter set, 2 vases, a candy dish all for hte same amount..
too bad, she wasnt into garnets. LOL
thanks again!
