With an 18" hawhorne if you're over 40 years old you probably don't
need to worry about harvesting many leaves. And besides, hawthorne
leaves are small and light, even from a mature 20" tall tree you won't
collect more than a bushel, more like a quart. I have a 20'
hawthorne, its leaves shrivel on the tree and drop slowly over many
weeks, they blow away before many accumulate. But with a 18" seedling
you really don't need to concern yourself until it reaches about 8'...
at least another 15 years.


So the burning question is, can I trust the opinion of an apparent
anti-Christian sick f**ks like Shelly or Shirley (a.k.a. Shirwindu) Doo
( The Doo Brothers)?

That's your first untruth... you *operate* a business.... you don't own
a business until your IRS return doesn't show you're operating at a loss.

I'm wanting to get any and all feedback, positive or negative,
on a website I designed recently to go with it. I advertise locally
and direct folks to my site for more information.

Thank You,
Christian


Your parents must have had high hopes for you to succeed in the
arts... you're not going to do well in business unless you change your
name.

Christian asked, very nicely, for an opinion and you gave him attitude.
It seems that it was his name that set you off. So I might be all wet
here Shelly, maybe there is a perfectly logical reason why you
denigrated Christian's name. Can you explain your seeming knuckle
dragging attitude? Even an explanation from Shirwin, who supports your
position would be most gratifying.

In the meantime, maybe I should start a Christian support group to
combat Evil Doo'ers.
