G'mornin' Dawg-Chum!

I allus Admire Honesty, & appreciate your Bein' Honest on This'n.

As I type this, I'm starin' at What's Left of 2 Dozen Long-Stemmed Red Roses.
Bought 'em for La Femme (Only $5!) at Webster yesterday..there's this Importer from Brazil that Dumps the Posies that are Gettin' ALMOST "Past-Due"..& we've been seein' LOTS of Long-Stemmed Roses here lately...

There's 16 Left... They Smell & Look GORGEOUS...yet ALL are Soon to Wither & Die...& Be Discarded. (I'll add, I had GREAT Fun handin' out the OTHER 8 to a FABULOUS Redhead, (HOPE I got Her Hubby Jealous!), Several Tired-lookin' Mamas Pushin' Baby Strollers, Young gal in an Electric Wheelchair, and a Bevy of 60-&-70 Year-Olds...)

Now, there are Some who'll say I'm Hell-Bound for not givin' ALL Them Roses to My Wife (Who, even with 8 years Accounting Experience can't tell the Diffo between 16 & 2 Dozen) :-)....but My Guess is The Deity's had as Good a Laugh as I Have.

Hopin' this li'l Annecdote'll tip the Scales towards a Favorable Review, yet I'll Value the Honesty, come-what-may, when I hear Back from ya! Door's always Open, Amigo!

Thanks & a
Big Guy-Hug,
Stan
