Hey Bonnie that is fantastic! Yay for Bonnie :) 
Sorry your means of straining your muscles was so boring, LOL :)

Reinhard,
When Richard was in Kindergarten and Pre-School, it only took the 
knowledge that good behavior for the day would result in gaining 
a "Gold Star" sticker on the board, to motivate him to have a great 

day...He would bend over backwards and touch his toes, just to get 
it. I guess grownups all have a little kid left in them, why not 
appeal to this inherent love of "visual rewards"
This is good psychology, because it's more positive reenforcement.
How about creating a rubber stamp pack (in your next life!)
with a little diagonal "slash", or the NoS logo?
a tiny little "shovelglove"
and a teeny tiny "boot"
Then the person uses their red ink pad for all three :)
They would make great NoS stocking stuffers!
Love,
Deb
