Has anyone had any Mercury Retrograde incidents? We have had already had problems with electronics Christmas gifts. The guitar from Guitar Hero just won't sync with the computer. We could not figure it out -- then I read the blog today and saw Mercury Retrograde has begun. Now it makes sense!

Mariposa - You will be dealng with two things here - (1) the fact that electronics are affected by a Mercury retrograde, and (2) the fact that the Mercury retrograde is all about communications - which makes gift returns more difficult than usual. If we slow down, take our time, read the fine print etc., we can make it through these retrogrades in great shape. :)
