OK....Now doesn't that feel better?

It's November 5th & we're already nit-picking at each other. (smiling)

To all those who I've offended with my own political jabs, I'll applogize for your thin skin....er ah......my relentless & tormentive behavior these past few weeks. I am known to fray nerves with words when trying to make a point. Election years do that to some people. It is only because we care so much that we fight so hard.

It's going to be a long winter & I want everyone to know that I would never hold anything said on the "Other" board to heart. I consider Dill's Atlantic Giant pumpkin growers to be "PEOPLE OF A HIGHER LEVEL" regardless of any other differences we might have.

I have the utmost repsect for anyone who gives up hundreds if not thousands of hours growing these things knowing full & well there is only 1 winner at the end of the year & many won't finish at all.

It takes a special person to grow these things. If you're reading this, you probably are one of those people.

ALL of Yours in Pumpkins,

Steve

Steve, as soon as I read your post I thought of the following song lyrics, sorry once a seventies child, always one........

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I seen ya around for a long long time
I really remember you when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I'd seen ya walkin' down in Chinatown
I called ya but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I pay my money to the welfare line
I see ya standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I'd kinda' like to be the president
So I could show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the mafia

Steve, That's great. The hard part of this hobby is there are so many opinions and each of us works very hard at it. We are a driven and dedicated bunch. I am extremely proud of the work we have all accomplished. This forum has furthered the growth of pumpkinitus & weigh-offs all over North America & the World. Lets all move on to learning about AGP's.

Steve:

I am offended and will not forget your words above. Are you making fun at my thin skinned pumpkin. You also said pumpkin growers are "PEOPLE OF A HIGHER LEVEL" what about us tomato growers as well or do we count. Also by you refering to 1 winner, are you calling me a Loser.

Those are pretty hard words.

Mr D&Me,
I'm mostly just a pot stirer. Don't take too much of what I write seriously.

You guys are too much. I wonder what Wild Willie over in Columbus, Ohio has to say. Are you there Willie??

Well spoken Steve. I apologize to anyone I might have offened also...I get a bit out-spoken once in a while too.
It wouldn't be much fun to hash it out if we all thought the same.

Kum-by-ya my Lord, kum-by-ya...............

WIld Willie seems to have gone the way of a lot of those "8 Free Email Accounts" from AOL. LOL

Me!?!? Talk about about my Southern Brothers? Not any more. Not after saving us from a fate worse than Clinton.

Winter does present a few slipperly slopes around here. But look at the bright side. At least Yomamma is in love now.
