It's a world of laughter a world of tears It's a world of hopes and a world of fears There's so much that we share That it's time we're aware It's a small world afterall... <em>aaargh! It's like you know just how to get me... Why, Why would you do that?! -kris</em> On earworms… take that!

It’s a world of laughter a world of tears
It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears
There’s so much that we share
That it’s time we’re aware
It’s a small world afterall…

aaargh! It’s like you know just how to get me… Why, Why would you do that?! -kris

"permanent dormancy" I'm going to get a lot of use out of that phrase. <em>Wiseacre, I wish I could take credit but it was Julie who came up with it.

By the way, do you normally end up doing all that root pruning while it still has fruit? That just seems counterintuitive to me, but then I know little about root pruning... <em>Kim, That orange (and I think a lot of citrus) pretty much always has fruit hanging on but it's just getting ready to flower again. -kris</em> Forget calling it death–I’m SO using the euphemism “permanent dormancy” from now on!
