But, but, Melybee....I'm at 1,243...does that mean I'm overly wise or I missed the turn and didn't grab the certificate and now have to go through it all again?

Smiling...Enjoyed!

this needs to be on some sort of plaque. . . it's just like that. . . words of wisdom. . .

not suprisingly, it's from you. . .

okay, so I can't count past eleventy seven!!!!  Does that mean that someone will count for me until I get wise enough to do so on my own.  But wait........do I really have to start making mistakes and not be so perfect??????????  Oh well, if it is in the interest of wisdom........why not.  

Wonderfully put oh wise child of the northern playground.
