The question is, will there be a renaissance at the end of the tunnel?

I don't know but, considering the middle or dark ages lasted for 1000 years or almost as old as Mart is, it could be awhile before we find out!

Oh yes, maintaining an online store is way cheaper and easier. Christie should go for an online store Poweredessays (http://ratedbystudents.com/services/poweredessays) for her collections and shut down all stores.

Hope you're feeling better by now Mart!  Don't know if you have even gotten 1/2 the rain we have (which is a whole lot!  We have been water logged.)

So far we have had a flood at least every two weeks !!  Had tons of big tomatoes but with the water in the ground and the sunshine recently they are cooking on the vine !!  Not good !!

Shur nuff, …… but you are fastly catching up with her ..... as your age differences is shrinking.

(all noted ages are strictly fictional)

When you were 1 year old and she was 25, you were only 4% as old as she was.

When you were 18 years old and she was 42, you were then 42% as old as she was.

And when you were 40 years old and she was 64, you were then 63% as old as she was. 8) 8)
