You are so right!<br /><br />The Blue Ridge Gal: I like palm trees, but you are right. They are quite useless other than aesthetically. <br /><br />Hit 40: Mmmmmmmmm! I didn't think of that. Something Irish! Must go to liquor store…<br /><br />Rebel Mother: Reb, have you never had a wild hair up your ass? Do they not say that over there?

My palm doesn't spit seeds. Is yours a date palm? That's why it spits seeds. Ew, I just thought about that. It's a boy palm.<br /><br />Pop and Ice: Unfortunately, I can't say I'm the more level-headed one. Just the one with spontaneous huevos. <br /><br />♥Trina♥: Thank you!
