Wow! Thanks! Trying to remember all this. I have notes, notes and more notes but it would be best to remember it all. As I get a lot older it is hard to collect this new info into my brain. I love it though!
Now please go to my thread on purples. I need your experience and brain to make sure I...
Oh wow! Great info, everyone!
I have really learned so much!
