Chatty, you are too funny! I agree with what you said, too. The cardboard ones last a lot longer. Mine was left over from when THE SON last lived with me, so I knew it was overdue to throw away, even without looking since he's been gone a bit. But great advice.

I might add that if you bookmark SNOPES, you can easily check something BEFORE you send it out and just verify that it isn't a hoax. It might save you some email time. Just a thought.
