I have a yellowfruitbowl I made that sits on my kitchen counter. I fill it with lemons from my own lemon tree. Please come back and play with us some more. I see from your profile your name is Mia. Odds are you are of the female persuasion. Please tell themilum so he doesn't get too embarassed.

You're dealing with a group, some of whom, marginally at least, know Latin. Ave, et die dulci fruere! PS Yes, I am female, if my bio-page is to be believed.

It's the old accusative subject with infinitive verb thang that the Romans were so fond of and us poor case-unconscious Anglophones have total lost track of. And as far as Fools go, around here I'm the head Fool.
