Thanks for the well wishes. I'm actually starting to feel better, but I have been on antibiotics for 20 days now.

My mother was talking to me on Sunday about the sales tax issue. She must have read it in Parade also. No problem here in Maryland since the raised the state sales tax from 5% to 6%. They should be making up the difference with that extra 1% to account for the money lost on internet sales. I can tell you one thing that will really be hurt by sales tax on internet sales, and that is ebay. All the small time sellers will have one heck of a headache trying to figure out all that paperwork, unless ebay figures out a way for them to do it electronically within the sale. I might have to read that article to see exactly what it says.
