One of my favorites that isn't listed above: "If you can read this, I can hit my breaks and sue you." One I read above which I think bears repeating: "If you can read this, thank a teacher Because it is in English, thank a soldier" Fun fact: One of the least expensive items ever sold at a Christie's auction was a bundle of "I Grock Spock" bumper stickers that went for, like, $4.

I too have the "burn at the stake" one. I must have forty or so accumulated over time (and I'm talking about around 8 years) in an envelope in my glove compartment. People give me stickers fairly often - I keep the ones I like best and pass along others - and they're not exactly expensive investments. The ones from the Northern Sun catalog are the priciest ones I ever buy at $2. Allison, although there is a risk of theft, you can mount a regular sticker on the very thin magnetic sheets from any craft store. Barb, the dragons sticker is a spinoff of the line from one of the Lord of the Rings books - "do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger". I picked that one up in a science fiction bookstore. (One of my dream bumper stickers would read: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. -- JRR Tolkien No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style. -- Steven Brust) I'll grant that there are many bumper stickers out there that make me wish I had a rocket launcher mounted on the hood of my car - usually expressing some kind of hate-filled, couldn't-pry-that-closed-mind-open-with-the-Jaws-of-Life vileness - but I would never even consider defacing someone else's property no matter how much they p!$$ed me off. I saw one today that made me rather sad: "War does not define who is right. It only defines who is left." (As in left alive.) So true, and I wish it weren't. However, I don't care to put any kind of advertising stickers on my car, just like I don't wear clothes with brand or store names splashed across them. (I do like to wear kooky t-shirts, I'll admit it, because I think it's fun to make people do a double-take. My favorite is worn to tatters - reads "give me that old-time religion" with a drawing of people dancing around Stonehenge. LOL) I figure if a business wants me or my car to be a billboard they can dang well pay me for it.

Pesky- That 2nd listing (on your car?!) is a VERY WISE AND TRUE saying!!!! After all...Who-the-hell ever heard of a Snoop-Dog world tour?!?!?!? Oh yeah...that's right...KISS is doing ANOTHER MAJOR World-Tour next year!!!! >>> Oh H#LL yeah!!!! Faron

Hibiscus Seed Capsules Seed saving is a lot of fun and it's easy to do! This is how I do it....and these are general and universal instructions. Mother Nature is pretty easy to figure out if we keep with the idea that SHE needs to keep it simple too. Take a good look at a flower. When the flower fades leave it where it is, do not remove it. Eventually at the base of the flower there will be some swelling. This is where the seeds are forming. Do keep the petals where they are and let them fall naturally...I don't touch it or bother it, I just leave it be. The base of the flower will swell even more and soon you'll notice that the flower stem and the swollen base are turning a papery-brown. This is a very good indication that the seeds are almost fully ripe....in effect the plant has achieved it's goal of reproduction for that flower...it has produced viable seeds and no longer needs to expend energy to keep it alive, so it doesn't sends it's sugars and water up to the stem anymore. That's why it's turning papery-brown. It's no longer being supplied with nutrients and so it's dying back. The drying action will continue and as the swollen pod continues to dry you will see it start to open....some pods will open in a starry design, plants like poppies create a ridge of tiny little circles near the top of the pod....they make themselves into something like a little "salt-shaker" (sorta...but you could imagine it.) All flower pods will open in some manner when the seeds are ripe....it's so they can disperse their seeds. When you see that the pods and stems are both brownish in color, AND you notice that the pods are starting to open you can then collect the pods. I place the pods on an open plate or in open bowls in a safe place where they won't be disturbed and let them continue to dry naturally for another week or two. Then I remove the seeds from them. To assure that the seeds are thoroughly dry I let them dry on an open plate for a few more days...I even will stir them every now and then to make sure the bottom layers will get a chance to dry too. Storing the dried seeds is easy. I use paper envelopes. I make my own with my printer, but you could use coin envelopes or even mailing envelopes will do fine too. Label them so you know what's inside. Store them where they'll be away from heat or direct sunlight. I use cardboard file boxes to keep my seeds in and those do just fine. Another good place to keep them is in your dining room drawers. Those are dark places and your dining room is sure to be safe from extreme fluctuations in temperature. Good luck with your seed saving! Trudi
