     haha!  good to know.  :)  at least at that stage you   
   don't have to worry about them scrubbing out your

     have a bucket of small squash to clean out and bake   
   today.  mostly they are for seeds or at least i hope the   
   seeds are developed enough.  if i procrastinate long   
   enough i may end up doing it this evening...  i feel a   
   nap coming on...  :)
