RE: OT- big time/now age

Bonnie - I agree! Ours is one of the few cultures that doesn't respect
and venerate their elders. How stupid that is! Most people don't have a
lick of sense until they're at least thirty (myself included) so why is
the "youth" thing so celebrated?

Maybe I'm just dense, but I don't get it!!

P.S. "operation" apparently a success, there were actually 2 purple
coneflowers intertwined w/ that veronica. They are now relocated and
being watered in as we speak. I'm sure y'all were on the edge of your
seats - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
