Do you like colorful flowers in your yard?  I do.  I can blame it on my grandmother.

What sound do you wake up to in the morning? Is it the annoying beep, beep, beep of an alarm clock?  I HATE that sound.  It honestly effects me like the sound of fingernails down a chalkboard.  In fact, a local radio station ran a commercial for a while with the beeping sound of an [...]
