So I start my search on the home page and notice that it says that the Uncle Sam Alpha will be deleted on Monday morning. Now I have no idea what time in the morning this will happen. So quickly I start my hunt: A, B, Q, T, M, etc. Got them all but "H". I decided to download the one's that I had in case they got deleted in the middle of my hunt. All goes well. Hooray!!!! Now, let's go find the "H". However, I remembered two columns in my cart: one labeled link expires with a date and another column that says "left" and as I am downloading, the numbers go down from 5 down to 2. I realized what that meant, I had 2 minutes to find the "H", add it to my cart, check out and download. So here I go, sweating profusely, shaking, swearing, and decided to try a search. Mind you it has already taken me over an hour to find all the letters. So I put in the search box "Uncle Sam H" and it comes back with a list of the ENTIRE alphabet, nicely listed, in alphabetical order and all I have to do is add them to my cart and I'm done. Well I did get the "H", but wasted a lot of time and my b/p is through the roof. I'm now going to go nap. I am exhausted. I think I need help with this obsession thing!!!!! Eric

Dear Eric, sometimes I worry you are visiting too many strange web sites. Be careful. You don't want a sick computer and loose all those wonderful fonts. Isn't it amazing we can't find the perfect font. Are we all in search of it. My daughter likes the Curlz fonts for the grand daughters, so I quit looking for them, but me?????

Hope Eric has a good job as this hobby( addiction ) tends to be expensive. I used to tell my daughter to save me a room in her basement. Now I want a room, computer, embroidery machine and a credit card. Old age demands are changing!!!

He doesn't work, and realizes how expensive this could get. But thanks for the tips. (Why am I talking in the third person???) Eric

For those wanting the link, here it is. The letters aren't free anymore, but they are on sale for $1.50 for the complete alphabet. Just think Eric, you could of saved a lot of stress, if you would've known, and sprung for the exhorbitant price of $1.50!
