I can whine with the best of 'em. And I don't mind hearing whining either. I'm a non-cutter. I spend most of my summer in the garden anyway. Maybe because my garden isn't all that old (this is its third summer), I hate to take any flowers away from the show outside. Whining is good. I can whine with the best of ‘em.
