crocus. In case you're wondering why I say crocus, it's because it takes so many to get the tiniest amount of saffron. but I was tempted to say wheat. Maybe even corn because corn is in everything. This post was edited by georgysmom on Mon, Apr 14, 14 at 15:39

haha! matti5, we think alike. IF he had a father, I would guess accountant. LOL!

Yup....agreeing with red and it was a no-brainer for me (former military). The stripes were set up as alternating colors (red/white) to represent the original 13 colonies. The flag has always been red/white/blue. I'd have to go back and look up flag history to confirm when the 13 stripes became the flag base but it's been around for at least 100 years....maybe early 1900s.

When I was at the hospital day of surgery, and at ER, I wanted my phone on. They actually wanted it while hubby was in surgery so they could get hold of me quick. Anyway, my flip phone wouldn't get any service, even though everyone was on their smart phones. That bothered me, and I'm thinking of looking to see if I can get one for pay as you go, which is still a monthly plan but relatively inexpensive, $15/mth (my current plan). We use it very seldom and that's the cheapest monthly plan I've seen. If it doesn't get renewed every month, you lose all of the accumulated minutes.
