Chucka, I prefer orchids overhead, and roses at nose level. Orchids are beautiful tu vieu, but roses are incomparable in the sniffing! Not to say that roses are not beautiful tu vieu, also, particularly with the dew upon them, and those little drops of condensed dew in the early morning. Truly, these are beautiful things!! A shallow man would view them and think that their beauty would last forever, but alas, it does not. They flower, they perform their intended function, then they fade. Same with women!! Young women are truly flowers who entice us to marry them, then they perform their intended function, then they fade like the flowers. Problem is that lots of us find ourselves with faded flowers who have performed their function in life, but still feel that their purpose is to remind us potent males of this society of our failures in all aspects of thier memory, which is considerable. The truth of this is that they do not realize that they are "flowers no longer". They constantly yearn to be flowers again and blame us, the loyal partners for their demise. They may attempt to "live again through their daughters or their granddaughters, but a dead flower is a dead flower, no matter how you look at it. The great transtiton occurs when they finally admit defeat and become "grandmothers". In that they truly excel, and are truly helpful and nurturing to society and to family. They tell stories on occasion about how useless their man was, but generally forgive him and have fond stories to tell about him. He was a good man, and at times, I feel remorse for driving him to an early grave, but unfortunately, he never agreed with me!! The wife is alive, and the husband is long dead, and the wife has fond memories of him!! My advice, very humbly submitted, would to beware the flowers!! Very, very, bigmouth, Jack!! Hope I have not pissed off any "flowers"
