Just that you all know:

I did not pay Jerry to post this mail ...

... but I´ll let you know when I will be offering more things that I can ship to the US. ;-)

PS: Ever since 9/11 the USPS has been taking their time with checking mail into the US. I sent my brother a couple of bars of german chocolate (Hersheys, get a life. Although, as there are listmembers in that town, I´ll add that that region of Pennsylvania does smell very nice) in November and they arrived Jan.6 So much for the gift aspect ... So no sending any milk products guys!
