http://madeinrichmond.net/theyre-chasing-us/ One doesn't *become* a Southern lady. You either are, or you're not. No amount of acclimation will make up for a lack of upbringing based on bare feet, good manners, and the mastery of puddling rather than sweating.

It removes some special covering on the seed that prevents germination. So only bird-poop-processed mulberry seeds can germinate, and they do so under places where birds like to sit, e.g., fences. Is the tree on your property? If so, get a tree surgeon to cut it down and remove the stump. If it's on your neighbor's property, see if they'll go halvsies on a tree surgeon's services.

Sorry about the mulberries, but thank you for the laugh. You always seem to post the perfect post when I am in need of a really good laugh. Sorry about the mulberries, but thank you for the laugh.
