Re: Re: MOSQUITOES

Isn't it amazing how far into our psyche our mother's words sink? Pam,
FWIW--you are truly one of the sweetest, most kind, and most generous
souls it has ever been my pleasure to encounter, and I don't give a
rat's patootie what anyone else thinks...SWEET is the perfect word for
you! :-)

The chances of my getting pregnant are right up there w/ Sugar's.
Will<br>get some pennyroyal plants next time I'm at McDade's. It's a
mint<br>right?? So in pots it will go. Sweet? That's a laugh. My mother
used to<br>tell me as a child she couldn't understand why the mosquitoes
liked me,<br>it's not like I was sweet or anything. Her words
