Re: Re: nursery interview apparel

Thanks Lynda, Noreen, Pam.
No, I am not moving.  ;+)
My hort strengths aren't exactly what these people are looking for.  I'm
hoping though, that after "paying my dues", I may have an opportunity to
utilize the skills and knowledge I have.  But until I get some "sweat
equity", no one is particularly interested in anything but labor.
