Hey, maeve:

You can't afford apples down here. They've gone from $1.49 a pound to as high as $2.99 a pound in just a few weeks. I've eaten an apple a day for most of my life. You know the saying: An apple a day hurts the AMA. I've tried switching to pears, but it's too nerve wracking trying to catch them at the moment when they are ripe. It lasts less than a minute. They go from cannonball hard to shriveled in a couple of minutes. "I'm sorry officer, I know that I was sppeding, but I have to get home before my peaches start to shrivel." Hmmm... sounds faintly dirty.

This thread is moving into birth year territory soon. I'm claiming post number 1935. 1915 isn't spoken for yet.
