Ohh silver family! The crosses you have had to bear this year are many! I so hope that 2008 is a better year for you.

I'd say just do the best you can, try to find out WHO the supplier is. - I'd be ALL over that facility!!

Best of luck, and we are all praying for you (well the entire silver family)
