mflower2053 That is awesome. We got kind of a late start b/c we had to build up our garden. We put gutters in it and had to dig up the lawn, put mud b/c there was sand down there. Build a fence to keep the roaming dogs out of it and then paint the fence. It took sometime...

wqdayang Actually you had already bravely talked to them,you showed your friendship and welcomed them to take their holiday in your city.That's enough,too much talk may interrupt their talking and affect their feelings,except they talk with you voluntary.

Poison_Girl "Should of" is absolutely wrong and doesn't even make any sense. People get confused because most people tend to shorten it to "should've". I suppose I understand why they THINK it would be "should of", but nobody stops to think about how it doesn't make any...
