I forget...
They don't do stones in the States, only Pounds....
10 of one thing sounds much nicer than 140 of something else...
There are exceptions of course...diamonds, millions...etc...

The brain ... weighs less than a stone ... simple. I thought. That's what I get.

Well, it's time to fly, as you so politely reminded me earlier. Clean and squeaky ... off for another day in paradise!

Cheers to all ... luv! Don't poke each others' eyes out, PLEASE. God bless.  :angel:
