David Fisher November 8, 2015 at 5:13 PM This seems like the day of a snail alright...number 9 might be: Slow and steady wins the race. Gail Debole November 9, 2015 at 10:02 AM Just realized that this was not re-numbered correctly after I added more to the list. Your addition would definitely be a welcome addition for number 12. Thanks again. Gail Debole November 8, 2015 at 6:27 PM Hello David - Your number 9 is certainly appropriate! Thanks for stopping by. Seems like I am obsessed with snails...they are interesting creatures that are all over my yard (and house).
