    We just have to pass this along. A few days ago we were in one town and heading to our home town. We had some things that had to get into the mail that day and looking at the time we realized that with our Post Office closing from 12:00 to 1:00, that would cause some problems for us. So, we headed to that town's post office.

    My wife went inside and it took a long time but when she came out she was laughing. While standing in line she suddenly was giving an interview to a newspaper reporter! During the interview she was asked what she had been so busy with and she said putting up wood.

    Quite naturally, the reporter grabbed onto that one and asked her age (70). What?? Why is someone your age doing that? She said it was for heat (what else?). Then she tried to give a plug for this forum and I guess that age thing kicked in and she couldn't remember the name.

    After telling me about this and after we quit laughing, I then proceeded to give her one of the FWH business cards. Can't remember? We'll fix that right now.

    Maybe she should have had a Super Cedar in her pocket too? We did have some in the car though because we give them out whenever we meet someone who could use them. It does help Thomas out, we hope.

    Now we have to go searching to see if someone gets that paper and if there is a story or not.

    Great story. I can relate. Having been off work since the 25th of last month due to surgery and now vacation, I have developed a problem with not knowing which day of the week and what time it is.............
    That is probably going to get worse when I retire @ the end of next month............:rofl: :lol:

    Maybe you could buy her a tattoo for Christmas? With the width of the site's logo, it should fit nicely on her lower backside!! Bet she would remember it then!

    I'm a ways from that age and forget things half the time too, gets worse as I get older, my mother calls me by my brothers name all the time but she's in her 80's.
