I make sure when everyone is over to open gifts that the person passing them out wait until the gift is opened by each person before the next one is passed on. I have seen it done the other way and you are right, it is a mad house and hardly anyone gets thanked and you don't get to see what they got for a gift, very rude, I think. If the person passing out the gifts doesn't cooperate, I usually say that I will take over for them. It's my house and I kill myself cooking and cleaning and want everyone to have a nice time. So you are not wrong, I would not do it any other way.

Great for you, I am gonna insist this
afternoon on just that. I read just this past week about the loss of hair and Synthroid. I am really determined this time to not take the Synthroid like he wants me to but instead getting the Armour. Except for the terrible itching I had when first diagnosed (in the late 80s) I cannot tell any difference taking or not taking the thyroid preparations, - have never been on the armour- was using levothyroxine prior to the Synthroid. Going to see this dear physician in about an hour. Thanks!
