That's wonderful! -Kathy

Some people have posted that they use glue or wax to seal cracks. -kathy

Many of you have probably seen this, but thought I'd share it just in case. It starts off with: Quote: -Kathy

Lots of experiments I'd like to try, but I don't think I have the stomach for it. -Kathy

Is there any correlation to wrong end pips and eggs being incubated upside-down? -Kathy
