Does this include EVERYTHING?  For example, in October 85 I had my second
child.  It seems that some professional photo studio takes it upon themselves
to take pictures (unordered) of the babies.  I didn't know about this
until a couple of weeks later when UPS came to the door with a nice little
package.  Not knowing what it contained (a gift??  for me!!?), I signed
the ledger.

When I opened the package, lo and behold, there was this little face
squinting up at me (baby pictures).  Also in the package was a bill for
$37 some-odd dollars.

I never used the pictures...I mean, these were really bad pictures...I
took my own, but I never sent them back.  They are just collecting dust
at home.  However, I never heard from the photo studio either, which
indicates there is nothing to worry about, given the amount of time between
then and now.  But I DID sign for them.  Does that mean anything?
