As you probably know, the world is divided into DVD regions. For the US it is Region 1. For Europe Region 2, etc: http://hometheater.about.com/cs/dvdlaserdisc/a/aaregioncodesa.htm I am thinking of sending the DVD back unopened, and expect a $5 restocking cost subtracted from from the refund. Maybe it would be helpful for potential customers to know whether the DVD send to them is formatted for their region. Otherwise -unless they live in the US- they might not order your film, or not be able to play it. From Holland with love, Lode @Anthony,

I'm a fixer so this is a daily struggle for me when my loved ones and/or I are struggling.

We had to move, lost a lot of people, and now I live in California. I am very happy, married and have a son. If I can go through war, I can go through anything and I have always been an optimistic person, and it takes a lot to get me down.

Now, I know to keep all of my possessions in their proper "homes" (phone numbers and addresses in an address book, magazines and books in a bookcase, etc.), to act immediately when I suddenly remember to do something (like call a friend to thank her for picking up my mail when I went on vacation), to use my left hand for routine actions(like locking the door when I leave the house), etc. I am NF-1 which, in my case, causes memory problems: difficulties in forming memories, difficulties in retrieving memories, etc. I solved many of my memory problems by taking a course designed for senior citizens.

Double edged question. Personally I am at a good place, but because my children are not in a similar good place, my own happiness is taking a back seat. Am I happy? Double edged question.
