Amy Schaeperkoetter Herman My youngest daughter has eaten the following since our arrival at the airport 5 hours ago: 4 Starburst, mini bags of both pretzels and Chex Mix, a large bag of BBQ chips, approximately 30 mini marshmallows, and now a Ring Pop. Al, I'd very much appreciate it if you could find those bags.
