While searching on the internet for christmas gifts, I found this very neat snow globe type thing. It looks like your basic snow globe but it has crystals that grow inside and when you shake it the crystal growing process starts over. I found one here at this [stupid ass site that won’t let me go where I want but has a good picture none the less](http://chemistry.about.com/cs/toppicks/tp/crystals.htm). Number one is what I want but I can’t find it anywhere else. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? Please help me before I lose my freakin mind!

I love you.  
You are my hero.  
When I hit the lottery you will be well reimbursed.

Hey, my little remaining sanity is worth a lot to me.  
Thanks.

You got it exactly right except my children aren’t really children but cats.
