Sorry Mowtown Junkie, but to answer Buffy's question about saffron i got this from a website and i've seen them do it on a documentary... ok the food network:
The Saffron filaments, or threads, are actually the dried stigmas of the saffron flower, "Crocus Sativus Linneaus". Each flower contains only three stigmas. These threads must be picked from each flower by hand, and more than 75,000 of these flowers are needed to produce just one pound of Saffron filaments, making it the world?s most precious spice.
when you're relationship is in a rut??? I'm getting so depressed because my relationship is getting SO boring . It's like we see each other out of convenience. Any suggestions?? The ONLY thing I know is that I love him other than that......I don't know
try Tantra....
experiment with allucinogenics...
take pottery classes...
invent an imaginary lover...
get a "real" lover... (gimme a call )
experiment same sex relations...
buy him a one way ticket to Nigeria...

They are the petals of a flower, and they have to be separated by hand... human labour costs money, specially when that labour comes from Spain, which is the largest producer of saffron in the world. I'm sure there would be money to be made if the separation process could be automated, but that hasn't happened yet
See, that's where you and LadyBug are different. You gave me a long (though insightful) explanation.
LadyBug offered me $20 worth of free saffron.

Yep.

You're very, very welcome.
So when can I get my free $20 worth container of saffron? I'd appreciate it if I can have it before the weekend. Can you Fed-Ex it to me, using Baina's old account?

Maybe $50 for the weekend? $50 for the weekend I don't know about a weekend, but now the it's starting to get warm you may want to consider harbourfront at night.

YOU NEED TO ADD SOME SPICE TO THE RELATIONSHIP... IN EVERY ASPECT.... YOU BOTH NEED TO DO NEW THINGS, PERHAPS THINGS THAT AT ONE POINT YOU BOTH NEVER IMAGINED DOING... BEING SPONTANEOUS AND CREATIVE CAN GO A LONG WAY!
