Day Trip: Montserrat, Barcelona
41 Reviews
41 Reviews
While I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone with only a few days in Barcelona, I'd say this is a must-do for anyone spending at least a week in the region. It's not that far away, and you can do it in half a day too. Basically, Montserrat is a monastery that is built into the side of a mountain. The best part, the mountain basically juts out of the earth in the middle of a flatland, so you see for miles and miles on a clear day. Also, if you get lucky you'll be able to literally walk through a cloud...it's damn fun!
Montserrat is a national park widely visited by pilgrims and tourists. Besides the Monastery (and the Black Madonna), the mountains also hosts a huge diversity of ecological life. The more adventurous ones can scale the great peaks. I went hiking on one of the routes on the mountains. Montserrat is very accessible from Barcelona, around a hour's train ride away. It is definitely worth a visit, you can take a look at the pictures on my Montserrat page.
The facade of the basilica at Montserrat was built in 1900 and 1901. It features sculptures of the apostles by Agapit Vallmitjana, whose brother designed the reliefs in the tympanums. I thought this was one of the most beautiful church exteriors that I have ever seen!
There are two funiculars that connect the basilica and outlying buildings at Montserrat to the mountains high above. The funiculars are trains that run on steep tracks (about 65 degrees) along the side of the mountains. At Montserrat, the trains have glass roofs so you will get an amazing view! Don't worry if you are afraid of heights, it is a gentle trip and you will feel very secure. We took the funicular Saint Joan, which takes you up the mountain to beautiful walking trails and abandoned hermitages.
The exterior of the basilica at Montserrat is absolutely beautiful. It truly is a mix of the old and new, with Gothic cloisters from the 1300s mixing with towers constructed as recently as the 1930s. You will surely be struck by the beautiful atrium floor, which bears an inscription reading
"Only those baptised and born in the water like fish can understand the meaning of the fish of Eucharist."
I have no idea what that means!
Outside the basilica you will also see the 14th century tombs of Joan of Aragon (not Joan of Ark!) and Bernat de Vilamari.
There are plenty of things to do at Montserrat, and this tip will focus on the area at the top of the aerial / tram (you don't need to pay for the funicular to get here).
This area is home to most of the tourist attractions at Montserrat. For starters, there is a large gift shop connected to a cafe and restaurant. There is also a hotel and two restaurants. I would highly recommend staying overnight at Montserrat, especially if you really like hiking.
Other attractions include the basilica (see my other tips), short hiking trails and the museum. The museum at Montserrat is home to artists such as Dali and el Greco. I believe there is also a guided audio tour that covers the history of Montserrat for those interested.
Options exist for people wanting to buy the entire package, including transportation to and from Montserrat, lunch and admission to the major attractions. Check with tourist information in Barcelona, or with the ticket machines at Plaza Espanya train station.
I would highly recommend taking the cable car (aerial) to Montserrat rather than the train. It is about a ten minute ride and the views are just spectacular. You really can see forever, especially on a clear day! It is also a VERY steep climb up the mountain, which can be quite exciting.
The cable car takes you to nearly to the top of the mountain, to a height of approximately 720 meters above sea level. You will still need to take the funicular to reach the top.
To get to Monserrat from Barcelona, head to the Plaza Espanya train (metro) station. There, you can usually speak to a Monserrat Tourism employee, or just use the self-service machines to book your tickets. You save the most money by buying a combined ticket - Ferrocarils de Catalunya train to the base of the mountain, and then your choice of either the cable car or the tram up the mountain. We paid €12 each for combined return tickets for adults. Trains currently leave Plaza Espanya every hour from 9:36 am, but beware that the last train home leaves the bottom of Monserrat around 5:30 pm (at least in the fall and winter).
Once you are at Monserrat, there is an additional charge to take the funicular from the basilica / cafe / museum up to the top of the mountain (to see the old monastary, hermitages and excellent hiking trails). It is approximately € 6 return. You can pay half of that to take the funicular up and walk / hike down to the basilica (approxmiately 75 minutes).
Catalonia's most important religious retreat is Montserrat. Here athletes pledge barefoot pilgrimages if prayers are answered and vital competitions won. Groups of young people from Barcelona and all over Catalonia make overnight hikes at least once in their lives to watch the sunrise from the heights of Montserrat. "La Moreneta" (the black virgin), Catalonia's favorite saint, resides in the famous sanctuary of the Mare de Deu de Montserrat, next to the Benedictine monastery nestled among the towers and crags of the mountain.
Montserrat, whose name means serrated mountain, is 48 kilometers (roughly 30 miles) west of Barcelona, and can be reached easily and spectacularly by train and cable car. Just take the FGC train from Plaça d'Espanya station (R5) and go to either the cable car stop or the funicular stop. I suggest the first stop, the cable car for it's remarkable view! Make sure you buy the combination ticket before leaving (saves you some money!)
Looming 1236 meters (4055 ft) over the valley floor, Montserrat, the highest point of the Catalan lowlands, stands central to the most populated part of Catalonia. The massive conglomerate stone monolith is ideally located to play an important role in the cultural and spiritual life of Catalonia.
The Basilica houses a museum that is packed with works of art by a long list of prominent painters and sculptors including works by El Greco, Dalí, Picasso and many more.
Lastly, Montserrat's highest point, Sant Jeroni, can be reached by funicular (price included in combination ticket) from the Romanesque monastery of Santa Cecilia. From Sant Jeroni, almost all of Catalonia can be seen. You can see more about this monastery soon on my Monistrol de Montserrat page.
At 50 kilometers from Barcelona to the northwest is the massif of Serra del Montserrat. This mountain is also called "La muntanya dels cent cims" (The 100 Peak Mountain).
Nestled between the peaks for centuries the famous "Monestir de Montserrat" (Monastery of Montserrat) is the center of the Catalan faith. It contains and protects the "La Moroneta", the Black Madonna and a great collection of famous paintings
If you have time for a day trip, I highly recommend Montserrat. It's a beautiful mountain in the countryside with a monestary and religious sights. But even if you're not Catholic, it's still worth seeing - the girl in the group who suggested we go to Montserrat is an atheist! We all enjoyed it, because of the beauty of the place in general, and even though we planned on only staying a few hours or so, we ended up spending the whole day there!
It's very easy to get to Montserrat. All you have to do is take the subway from Barcelona. Just buy your subway ticket at the right station (I can't remember exactly the name though...) and it doesn't take very long to get there by subway. The subway if probably the easiest way to get there.
Don't miss the Boy's Choir from Basilica on 1:00pm each day. You may also take a short walk among different route(from 20 mins to 2 hours) on your own interest.
Take R5 from Espanya MTR station and then transit by cable car or trek train to the top.
Daily throughout the yes (except on 25th December and 1st January) you can make a nice trip by coach to MONTSERRAT.
It will take you one morning!
The departure is at 9.30AM at JULIATOURS TERMINAL, Ronda Universidad 5 , ending at aproximately 2.30PM.
Driving across picturesque vollages you will reach the outstanding Montserrat Mountain situated at an altitude of 1.25 m..
It is the most important religious CHAIR of Catalunya.
The old Monastery built at the height of 721 mtrs. was once destroyed by invaders but rebuilt somewhat lower and in a more robust style.
The 12th century VIRGEN MORENETA (a black Madonna) if high up in the Basilica and you can visit her. I joined the long row and step by step we reached her and like everyone did I kissed her feet and had to go on because of the people waiting behind me. She has indeed a black face and during my travels I have seen many more so-called BLACK MADONNAS although I still don't know why they are black. All info differs, so what to believe??
The atmosphere is impressive and teh day I was there especially impressive and moving because a CATALAN COUPLE WALKED ALONG THE AISLE to get married there.
Imagine a dark Spanish beauty with long black hair in a whiter than snowwhite bridal gown, a magnificent wedding dress. What made me laugh and which I enjoyed was the fact that it was such a festive event, the little pages and little girls were laughing and dancing around......it was so sweet!
Another nice tip: opposite the church/monastery you can go up with a cable-way/lift TO ENJOY THE MOST FANTASTIC VIEW.......
AFTERWARDS THE COACH WILL DRIVE YOU BACK TO terminus WHERE YOU STARTED THE TRIP.
BTW the rocks around the Monastery are very specially eroded and all have names because they look like animals and people or a building....but I caa only put one photo here.....
There are some shops, restaurants, museum, church, etc. You can find the accommodation too. Besides, you can choose the Sant Joan Funicular or Santa Cova funicular to get to the hiking route. I took the Sant Joan Funicular and walked 2 easy walking path with a view of the whole mountain range.
How to get there:
Take the Monsterat-Manresa line from the FGC Pl. Espanya station and alight at the Montserrat-Aeri station, where you should then take the cable car that climbs up the mountain of Monsterrat.
Climb the Mountain MONTSERRAT , another symbol of Catalonia - it's a fantastic view! It is a unique natural environment and a religious centre. Montserrat is home to the SACTUARY OF OUR LADY and the BENEDICTINE monastery , which has, for almost 1000 years, served all the pilgrims and visitors who come to this unusual mountain. Come up to the image of Our Lady of Montserrat , popularly known as 'dark woman' due to the dark colour of her face. If you put your right hand on the apple she is holding - any wish will come true.

Rated 5 out of 5 by rotator101 Good location in Olde Towne area Society Hill is a little SW of the main historical area on 5th St (Independence Park), but easy access if you walk north off Dock St. LIked location next to Penn's Landing and bridges across the river. Liked room design with an inner door (between bathroom and sleeping area), so that noise from main lobby/atrium is reduced (which area can be very noisy). Club had good snacks and drinks, and reasonable prices for adult beverages. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Suzy215 As a Wedding Guest, Enjoyed the Stay! I stayed at the Sheraton for a wedding and was very happy with it. The rooms are a good size, renovated and very clean and the bed is really comfortable. Only complaint is that the bathroom is a little tight. October 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mandj1011 Parking Cost I enjoyed a wonderful experience at your hotel last weekend. The only thing I would like to mention in a negative light would be the parking fee. A $43 per night fee for a registered guest is way too high. There is no logical reason for this high a fee. October 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 2014Visitor Nice hotel The hotel was renovated since last came and it is comfortable and pleasant. All staff from entry to exit were nice and responsive. October 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DDDDDD High ratings. I had an excellent experience. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The linens were high end. Late checkout was allowed without difficulty. Water could have been a tad hotter and complimentary breakfast would have been welcome, but overall I would very highly recommend this hotel to others. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karla13 Beautiful property - great location for historic sites and restaurants Very clean and comfortable. October 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ryan3343 Poor Customer Service and Physical Care of Guest I stayed at this hotel for only 10 hour and in that time I filed my first ever formal complaint to hotel management and their Director of Security. (I will stay in hotels over 100 nights this year) I was told I would be contacted for a follow up however that never happened. Following that incident I was woken up by my neighbor at 12:30am playing loud music. I notified security and I heard them come to the door and knock twice and say twice "this is hotel security". They did not answer the door and security left with nothing ever being done. I waited 30 minutes to see if they would contact me to offer me a new room or even give me an update. Instead I had to pack up my bags and head down to the hotel lobby at 1am and ask for a new room. The front desk made me feel like I was the inconvenience. October 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dzare Green Choice We opted for the Green Choice during our 4 night stay. After 3 days we decided we needed our room cleaned and towels exchanged. We were told by the maid to request this at the front desk. We informed the front desk and were a little surprised when we were met with resistance from the desk clerk. He said we had selected the Green Choice and was very reluctant to arrange for our room to be cleaned. We persisted and he said Ok. By the end of the day no one had cleaned our room and we had to call down to the front desk for fresh towels. If the hotel wanted their $5 Green Choice coupons back for that day we would have gladly given them back in exchange for service. October 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Catarina44 Good location Room was spacious, but not functional. No luggage rack - no place to hang towels when taking advantage of green choice - lighting in room was poor-had to ask for upgrade& recd. it but was not automatic even though there were available club floor rooms September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LeslieIN The beds were very comfortable Was a great place for a business conference. Loved the history of the town too. September 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by shermanrs1 Lovely Hotel Hotel situated in a lovely area in walkable distance to the historical district of Philly. Room was comfortable and quiet. Sheraton room for breakfast and snacks was lovely and more than adequate. My only complaint and it would be in most downtown hotels is the price of hotel parking. The $36 (I think my price is correct) is high, but the additional tax of $7 was excessive! September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gor16 Great place to stay. Couldn't have asked for anything more. September 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BGRG Location, convenient to Old City/restaurants Quiet location at edge of busy restaurant/bar area. Directly across from Society Hill. Walkable to restaurants altho valet parking available at many spots (and in hotel). Good access to I95. Staff very helpful. Hotel Sheraton standards. Would have wished for a more expansive lobby coffee bar (serves Starbucks coffee) but is not a Starbucks. September 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by maequel No posted guidelines Stayed at the Sheraton In Philadelphia with my kids. They used the phone not knowing that was a charge for every call as nothing was posted on the phone. My kids were 11 and 8. If that was a charge they would have read and not made the call. I was not notified until check out and a huge bill later. The receptionist was somehow willing to help but not the manager who told me that the call prices was posted on the phone. I even took a picture of the phone to show it to them but nothing was done much to the bill. My kids now know not to use the phone in hotel. When is hotels going to stop charging outrageous prices for calls? I wont stayed there again. August 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Taffy38 What a great weekend. Merlin and Angel were wonderful with their service. August 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JBR2014 A little underwhelmed Hotel lobby and exterior were very nice. Major complaints- TV did not work- many of the channels were blurred or not working at all. There was no attendant in club lounge on a busy Saturday morning to restock things- coffee and food were out. Room service could be little more flexible with times. Most hotels I've stayed are more than accommodating if you want to order lunch at 11 am. There should at least be a brunch menu. Not everyone wants eggs and pancakes til noon on the weekends. I was impressed by the overall appearance of the hotel and shocked that these areas were so lacking. I would still recommend the hotel because I'm guessing I was just unlucky during my stay and these things are not the norm. August 26, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by macdaddy737 Society Hill Excellent from arrival till the next day when I departed. Great location with a lot of things to do close by. August 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by GreenbeltDC It Was Okay The lobby and restaurant were nicely decorated. The room was comfortable; however, the furniture in the room was scratched and there were other details that could have been improved upon. I guess I should, but probably never will get use to the subtle indifferences that are displayed to patrons of black ethnicity although we pay the same amount for the services provided. For example, except for Leticia, the other employees at the front desk (including the black employees) were somewhat curt and insincere in their greetings and interactions with me, but pleasant with people of other races. The young lady of Arabic descent at the Starbucks made every conscious effort she could not to touch my hand when giving my change and her greeting and demeanor was not really sincere and welcoming. I also walked into the restaurant/bar one evening and was not approached until after a caucasian couple came in after me and were greeted and seated first. On a positive note, the doormen/bellmen outside were pleasant and very welcoming and seemed to consistently respect and greet everyone without any disparate treatment and with genuine sincerity. Overall the hotel was clean and I got what I paid for, but I did not feel very welcomed. Maybe next time I am in Philadelphia I will stay at one of the other hotels, where a couple of my co-workers stayed for the same price. I'm not sure employees can be trained to be sensitive to their behaviors with diverse audiences or if they even know it is noticed, but I did. August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bullhead location Excellent location and a good value for he money. August 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by IYIarv Great location but time for a renovation The staff was extremely pleasant and exactly what I would expect from SPG properties. I checked in at 5pm and was told my room was not ready. After a long day all I wanted to do was rest. The front desk was very understanding and proceeded to give me an available suite. Not sure if it was a standard suite or not because being platinum I wondered why it was not given to me in the first place. Unfortunately the room left much to be desired. The carpet was aged and needed replacement. The room also had a foul smell to it. On the plus side the location is great and with a little renovation this hotel can come back to life. August 19, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by LynneW Lovely Hotel My only concern is the lack of automatic opening front doors. It makes it hard for those of us who use an ambulation device such as a cane to open the heavy doors. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ric1 The Best Hotel in Society Hill! The building is beautiful and very well maintained. The staff is uniquely outstanding; always respectul, quick to respond thoughtfully to a clent's personal needs. An ideal location for a roomantic getaway, family trips, business or any other special occasion. The rooms are impeccable, The interior design of the rooms and lobby is bright, cheerful and substantial. The beds are extremely comfortable. The location is off the beaten path for a safe, very quiet and relaxing experience, yet minutes accessible to the historic district and countless dining options. August 17, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike21 A Great Hotel and even better Staff This hotel is in a great location and is nicely appointed. You can walk to the key attactions in Philly and it is very quaint. The staff is great and I want to thank Ali at the front desk. He is a consummate professional and cares about the guests. He should train all Sheraton employees on customer service. You will not be disappointed with this hotel. The Sheraton Club is excellant and Latika does a great job there. What a great personality. The food is excellant there. The only issue with the hotel is the Parking at over $40 with tax. That is expensive, but the room is reasonably priced.. I will definately stay here again. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SRV1207 My Stay We had a great overnight stay. Only drawback was the $55.00 breakfast w/o tip. We can get the same meakl at a great diner for udner $20.00. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sammy27 The managerial staff is amazing My wife, infant child, and I stayed at the hotel for a wedding. When it came time for the reception, my child was too exhausted to stay up any longer. So, my wife stayed with her in our room while she slept. She was going to miss the meal, but I asked a woman who was in charge at the wedding (I don't know her name) if it was possible to take my wife's meal to the room. She was happy to help and even brought her a glass of wine. We were very happy with this level of service and thankful for the help of the manager. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jmontser Excellent, Relaxing and Centrally located Overall had a wonderful experience. Rooms were great, hotel was centrally located with a very friendly staff and facilities met all of our needs. Only opportunities we found was parking was on the expensive side and could be reduced slightly and the bar offered no happy hour even on Tuesday which is apparently a neighborhood HH day. That would have made our experience excellent since we had our kids and it would have been nice to relax at the hotel. August 10, 2014

Product description
The supply of energy from primary sources is not constant and rarely matches the pattern of demand from consumers. The secondary storage of energy is therefore required both for more efficient use of existing generation capacity and to allow more substantial use of renewable energy sources that tend to provide energy intermittently. This study describes the different types of energy storage available. It not only shows how use of the various types of storage can benefit the management of power supply systems, but also extends this to consider more substantial possibilities that arise from integrating a combination of different storage devices into a system.

Best worms source
I started with 1 pound of worms and now starting a second bin. What is the best place to order from from everyones experience. In terms of cost quality etc. Is it good to get from different sources and mix the population for genetic diversity?
I'm in California. Now I'll have to come up with another 2000 names. Thanks,
Check out http://www.vermicomposters.com/
Just put in your zip code and it will list vermicomposters in your area. You can also check craigslist for your area, that is how I got mine.
If you are in the San Diego area you can go to www.redwormproducts.com. I got a pound of worms for $15.
Tom, where in CA? I'm in the SF Bay area and was able to find a local source that sells a "starter-kit" of ~1 lbs. of worms in 5-7 lbs. of the compost they were raised in. I didn't have to go far to pick this up and the worms were saved the trauma of being harvested & shipped. The 2 bins I started with these worms are both thriving. This would probably be your best bet if you could find a local source. Otherwise, the link below has some reviews of online sources.
Here is a link that might be useful: Worm suppliers
composthead: if you are in Ca., you might want to check out http://www.MonsterWorms.com
Good communication and customer service, less travel time for the worms.
Thanks everyone for replying. This is a very helpful forum for a rookie like me. I just started 1 month ago
I got my worms from a farm (PJ"s ) in sacramento area about an hour drive and thought I would try a mail source to avoid the drive. The first pound is thriving..I found my first egg today! Mom is healthy and doing fine. we're hoping for a hermathrodite
Any thoughts of the genetic issue?
I have a ton of leaves and garden trimmings. I also got these great wooden crates off of craigslist for free that are perfect for worms. I also order the earthworm to see the differnce.
I ordered off of MonsterWorms. The are very helpful and great customer service!!
Thanks for everyones input.
ps yes I am inpatient

Costa Rica Vacations Company Targets All-Inclusive Sector with Website Redesign
(PRWEB) October 16, 2012
With recent trends pointing to the popularity of all-inclusive resorts in Costa Rica, CRV (Vacations Costa Rica), the leader in the Costa Rica vacations sector, decided it was critical to focus on this emerging market within their new web site redesign efforts.
Vacationers come to this tiny Latin American nation primarily for it's raw and untouched natural beauty. It is no secret that Costa Rica has become the mecca for eco-tourism in the Americas.
In fact National Geographic has called Costa Rica a vital ingredient to the planet's overall eco-stability and sustainability.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
While testing a pen, I inadvertently drew a "protoglyph", and something potentially interesting struck me. Is anybody else thinking what I'm thinking?
Is anybody else thinking what I'm thinking?
Hrant... I don't think I'm fully capable of thinking like that! ;-)
My first cognitive impressions are of calligraphic ampersand.
But before that I just admired the flow, balance and movement.
Looking forward to a signed copy I can hang up.
> drew a "protoglyph"
An ampersand? This is getting interestinger and interestinger...
Actually I'm not after a glyph ID.
I don't suppose you were thinking of Barbara Hepworth?
I would say the interesting bit is that your mind fills in the black spaces that can vary between the notion you have of what it is, I first saw an ampersand, now it's a 'g', because I start negating or adding spaces to the mental composition. I, however, have no idea what you are getting at – I am a bit of a n00b ;).
Is anybody else thinking what I'm thinking?
I think so brain, but this time, you wear the tutu. narf!
sorry hrant, i couldn't help myself ;^p
"one's a genius, the other's insane..."
but seriously, i am trying to figure out what a "protoglyph" is. a glyph is a symbol with meaning, of course, according to our very own typowiki. and proto- is a prefix meaning first, earliest, or original. furthermore, in combination with other words, it means - more or less - a foundation or basis for things which come after it or develop from it. e.g., prototype, protolanguage, etc.
are you thinking your inadvertant squiggle has a universality or flexibility to be the basis for a whole - ahem - "set" of glyphs?
I was thinking of a lorentz attractor. If you ask me to explain it I will say its a peek a boo or owl eyes.
but that's not a proto-thingy :-(
Looks a bit like a mobius strip.
Are you thinking of a 'flipped' or reversed ductus al la the moebius strip?
& on 2 infinity
That or simply "8 is enough"
or maybe it is that famous old Hollywood "Hourglass Figure"
It looks like one of those lucite high-heeled shoes that strippers wear.
Not the last Chippendale's act I saw.... ;-)
Mr Escher comes in mind
Chiro-notanic protoglyph open stroke G-clef.
Or maybe a cute little butterfly on a breezy day! :-)
Free-Hand Lissajous Figures?!
Rather than playing the guessing game, what are you thinking?
He is thinking to become a chirographer !
Yeah, get rid of the bouma for g∞d !
Check this out, maybe Aziz is on the run.
Cool protoglyphing doodling by the way !
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? That was the last election' slogan for the Conservatives in England, wasn't it? I remember there was a big billboard near my house with Howard's face and the slogan and someone had sprayed on it "Are you smoking what I'm smoking?".
Sorry, hrant, go ahead. This thread is beginning to read like a thriller. Can't wait to see how it ends.
Sorry Hrant, but I only do long distance mind-reading on Thursdays... what are you thinking? Is it about the thick/thin stroke thinning and crossing over itself – like those impossible skidlines on a slippery road sign?
Yah... what is it???
:-) Mikey
While testing a pen ... something potentially interesting struck me. Is anybody else thinking what I'm thinking?
Sure. Your pen skips.
What!? That's not it? Okay, why not shelve the guesswork games and "fess up"?
Lemon curry?
Can derive 20 of 26 alphabet characters from the thingie.
Warm, cold or Icy ?
And if this is a ball point, the ball is stuffed.
A pre-neolythic Picasso Bic peroid ?
For Paul - this is my favourite Pinky-ism:
I think so Brain. But me and Pippi Longstocking: what would the children be like?
Oh well, whatever they're like, they'll be loved.
...and the other is insane"
> "protoglyph"
Actually I'm not after a glyph ID.
Then it's a model for a glyph yet to be developed, accepted and adapted for use.
But it just looks too familiar to be seen as new.
Don't stop… Squiggle squiggle — Outhere Brothers (1995)
That, in the past, there were no plurals, rather convention dictated that nouns were the opportunity to 1. trial new pens 2. Or test that the pen they were currently using was still good for another few letters, that's how we developed our modern 's' simply through an historical misunderstanding
you don't have to tell me I got it, both you and I know
Please direct me to the correct forum.
I have a ? about fontographer. After all my work of creating my type face I am having no luck with the simple thing of making the space bar work. hopefully it is simple to you.
proto- |ˌproʊdoʊ| |ˌprəʊtəʊ| (usu. prot- before a vowel)
combining form
original; primitive : prototherian | prototype.
• first; anterior; relating to a precursor : protomartyr | protozoan.
ORIGIN from Greek prōtos 'first.'
glyph |glif| |glɪf| |glɪf|
1 a hieroglyphic character or symbol; a pictograph : flanges painted with esoteric glyphs.
• strictly, a sculptured symbol (e.g., as forming the ancient Mayan writing system).
• Computing a small graphic symbol.
2 Architecture an ornamental carved groove or channel, as on a Greek frieze.
glyphic |ˈglifik| |ˌglɪfɪk| adjective
ORIGIN late 18th cent. (sense 2) : from French glyphe, from Greek gluphē 'carving.'
Maybe you are thinking about getting into interior decorating...?
Or, maybe you are thinking that if you post a vague question you will get a lot of funny, wrong answers... ?
go figure
nothing good to say so trash talk rules
good bye
oh yeah thanks for nothing
I think Duncan was posting in response to the thread not your question. I did send you an instant message to suggest you visit the Build forum with your query.
Tim thanks for your advice, but no in reality Duncan could have easily said what you said but no, insults rule. I am not surprised.
Richard, I'm positive Duncan was referring to the thread's question "Is anybody else thinking what I'm thinking?" and I'm sure Hrant is well able for/used to light-hearted insults/remarks.
Conor, thanks...I went to BUILD after Tims idea and got an instant answer from a fellow member, no jokes, no insults, no reading between the lines. Hey I am new to this site and am a very serious designer looking for information. I will try and create a new thread in the appropriate forum.
My first thought was an 8, then a female torso, then a LC g.
My comments were definitely not directed at you or your post. I am sorry you understood it that way. If you read the messages on this thread prior to your postings I am sure you will see what my comments were refering to.
Also, as you use this site more I think that you will find that there is a generally light-hearted kidding that goes on here.
Again, I am sorry if you feel that I was insulting you. I was not.
Even with my active imagination I could have never imagined that this thread would become a microcosm of the human reality. You got your sex maniacs, your culture junkies, people who can't stand guessing, math-heads, politicos, poets, persecution syndrome sufferers, and everything in between... All with a single protoglyph. I coulda been a Freud.
Spill the beans? Absolutely the most damage I could do to this thread at this point.
call me thin skinned...no worries. I guess I will attempt to create a new thread in the build forum.
Bee flight?
(btw got to love wikipedia, Phoebe has got an illiterate admirer)
Hrant, I'll take my answer off line then. ;-)
I see the beginings of what could be a nice art-deco S.
typotheticals hinted at it, channeling Picasso?
Hrant's empty bourbon bottle? ;)

All 106 Super Bowl XLV players ranked
Ben Roethlisberger gets the nod at No. 1; who rounds out the top 10?
Originally Published: January 28, 2011By Matt Williamson | Scouts Inc.
Ranking the Super Bowl rosters is never easy, especially when it comes to selecting the No. 1 player.
Last year, it wasn't difficult to put Peyton Manning right at the top. This year, there could be a great debate between Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers as the better quarterback. And it could be argued that they don't even belong in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots overall with the wealth of defensive talent in this game.
This matchup is loaded with star power and I think it is pretty ...

I need to sell this, what do you think?
Ok, I've been building a new home and today we just got word it would be ready in about 3 weeks. Oh boy!!! So, we've been for sale close to 2 months, started out at $235,000 and dropped to $224,900 after one month because that is a big cut off here on sales, $225,000 and up takes longer. There is a house two up from ours that is listed at $279,000 and is the same age and similar features.
As some background, there is some limit to where we'd just rent it instead of selling. I'm not 100% sure what that limit is. There are a lot of similar priced houses for sale right now, but very few with 5 bedrooms.
Here is our ad...
Here is a link that might be useful: Our listing
I would definitely repaint the electric blue bedroom and lavender bath.
Agree with the above posters... plus
1) Retake the kitchen photo but this time move the tables and chairs completely out of the photo. Currently, they take up most of the photo and you simply see the kitchen in the background. It is too crowded with the photo as is.
2) remove the stars and flag and all the country decor in the family room. Actually, the country blue stuffed chairs and sofa add the the 1980s country decor. It takes away from the room. IMO, the room would look better empty. Since you are moving soon, maybe start packing all decor now and retate the photos and maybe move the blue furniture out of the way for the photo taking.
3) the bedroom with the lacy black/white bedspread and black iron wall decor above the bed....I would change the bedspread now to neutral color and remove that black wall decor thing above the bed. Since you are moving, might as well pack up the wall decor.
4) I love trees, but you really cannot tell what the front of the home looks like because of the trees. The photo is of the garage door and a front door and such with trees hiding everything. Keep the trees, but try to get a different angle of the photo that shows what the left side of the house looks like. Also the xmas tree to the right of the garage...it needs to be trimmed so that the driveway and garage door can allow a car to enter the garage without getting scraped on the right side by the tree that had grown too large for its location.
Your price drop was small...might need to drop it a bit more IF no activity. How many showings or calls? I think the photo of the front of the home needs to be improved asap since all you see is trees. Home might be large/nice but it seems like it might be a small cottage based on the photo.
I think you have a nice house, but you hit the market late. You have a family home, however, most of the families that were looking to move did so earlier in the year so they could get moved in before school started. Showings will probably be slow. I sold at this time last year. We only had three potential buyers look at our house during the month it was on the market. Fortunately, that third couple bought it.
If this were my house, I would have the realtor pull the comps. You need to take a hard look at the data and make sure you are the best bang for the buck in your area. The house down the street from you could be highly competitive in the price range or you could be competing with someone who is overpriced. A five bedroom home is probably a little bit of a specialty property. It might work well for someone wanting an office and a playroom or gameroom or a room for grandma.
I agree withe above about repainting the blue and lavender. I would also recommend trimming a couple of the lower limbs on the front trees. It would keep the shade and privacy, but allow you to see the front of the house a little better. I love your little front porch. It's cute, but I would dress it up a little bit. I would completely remove the tree to the right of the garage door. It's beautiful, but it doesn't belong there.
I agree with all the other tree comments. You can't see the front of the house at all, but not in a "cute and hidden" way, more of a "overgrown and uncared for" way. The deciduous trees right in front of the porch have been trimmed, but not enough.
The gargantuan pine tree next to the garage needs to be removed completely. a tree of that size should have never been planted in that location. I'm sure it is currently causing damage to the siding, shingles, gutters, driveway, and foundation of the garage--not to mention the sides of cars.
As a buyer, that tree alone would be enough to make me look elsewhere first.
I agree about repainting the blue and purple rooms and trimming the trees up a little.
If you can retake the kitchen picture try pulling the table and chairs forward so they just show at the bottom of the picture. That way people can see you have a nice eat in area but it doesn't block the view into the kitchen.
Also, move your mixer to the corner between the sink and stove, it blocks the view of the sink area and that stretch of counter. A pretty bowl of apples on the island would look good, too. It's good to declutter the kitchen but it can look TOO bare. Otherwise, I think you kitchen looks nice.
I can't see your house for the trees! Call the tree service. Remove the pine. Top and severely thin the trees in front of the charming porch.
Repaint the blue BR and the lavender bathroom.
Remove the DR hutch.
Get closer to the kitchen for that shot. Show just a corner of the eating area, or include a shot from the kitchen into the eating area. I presume there is a window there? (People like windows.)
Remove the FR wall decor. Do you normally have a rug in there? I know you want to show the floor, but it looks cold and bare.
Remove the oversize (queen?) bed, AND the busy spread, AND the wall decor. Will this room take a double bed? If not, center a twin.
Is there room for the MBR bed to go on the wall? (Few people like beds in front of windows.)
OK, I usually just lurk, but I can't let this pass...
"I can't see your house for the trees! Call the tree service. Remove the pine. Top and severely thin the trees in front of the charming porch."
There is no pine, but there IS a beautiful spruce, and it would be a shame to cut it down. Many new owners would be attracted by such a lovely speciman! and NEVER top trees -- get an aborist if you want to thin the other trees, but butchering this landscape would lose you buyers.
Will definately retake the kitchen pics after moving the mixer and the kitchen table. Good points! And easy.
I had the realtor remove the pics (not sure if they came off yet, just told her) of the purple bathroom and the blue bedroom so it isn't the first thing you see in the listing at least. There are 3 other bathrooms that are neutral, and 4 other bedrooms that are neutral. Not going to be able to paint them before we move out and would be much easier to paint them empty anyways.
I am going to thin out some of the front trees again (you should have seen them before I listed the house, they are very sprouty each year!!!) They are tricky though, there isn't a tall trunk, it starts splitting low and the leaves are all up in front of the house. Will be difficult to make much difference. They are lovely flowering trees with beauitful pink flowers in the spring. I wish I had taken a pic then, but didn't think to.
The spruce, I'm really torn on... it is a little overgrown, but the pic may be misleading, it doesn't extend over the driveway and is no problem for our vehicles. I really like it because it provides privacy from our neighbors over there who drive me nuts. It also houses the garbage and recycling cans under it. Covenants don't allow them to be out unless covered by the tree, they fit neatly underneath it. However, I don't want it to scare people away. It is not one you can easily trim because there is only greenry on the outside.
I went to take new pics from the outside yesterday, trying different angles etc... but as I was outside it started raining... again... grrrrrr
Our realtor has said every time that she does NOT recommend a price drop. She said its priced well below market. We've had showings avg 2 every 3 weeks and she said that is not unusual for the area at all. Every single person has said that it showed well. Several went with new construction, one wanted a ranch, one wants a house for under $200,000 (ours is $225,000) one won't buy until theirs sells, others are just beginning to look but they really like ours. Its been on the market 2 months. The realtors at the realtors open house all liked it with the exception of a few comments that we remedied (bird poop on the porch) etc...
I'm very seriously considering renting the house out and trying to sell later down the road, but I'm not sure we really want to go down that path either...
I appreciate all of the feedback. I never thought of the basement (black and white) bedroom as a problem at all. Other people's perspective is helpful!
I took a second look. I would never remove that spruce. But, I would remove the first photo as it appears the house is buried in trees. The second photo is better. I agree about the kitchen. Bad angle for the shot. Try taking it from the other doorway. Remove the mixer, it will make the counters look longer.
I'm afraid I agree about the black & white bedroom. I would change the bedding and remove the wall decor. The lavender bathroom would be difficult for me to get past. I could not move in with that color.
I really think you have a lovely house, I can't believe it hasn't sold yet.
Unfortunately, most prospects can't see beyond paint colours. So I'd neutralize at least one bathroom and bedroom. Professionally trimming the trees a bit couldn't hurt.
In case you hadn't noticed, resale home sales in Des Moines dropped 50% from June and were down 42% year-over-year. More important than anything you do or don't do!
LOL Ottawa!!!
Ok, I went out and pruned some more. Then I took some new pictures. I'm posting them here, do you prefer any one of them for the front of the house picture? I seriously was ready to cut one of the crabapples down, but it provides a lot of nice shade and privacy. (My neighbor across the street watches through our windows, she's posted on facebook before that a picture on my wall was crooked, she was looking through the window) Any more suggestions on how to take it, what angle etc...
Now off to work on the kitchen for those pics...
I LOVE the outside of your home, and think it has great curb appeal! I think the trees look nice as shown in the pictures, but if you decide to take any of them out, I'd do the crab apple to the right (when you're facing the house). Multi-trunked crab apples have a limited life span, and it's hard to do judicious pruning when they're that old.
I like #2 best, but would crop the sides so you don't show the neighbor's houses.
As far as the spruce, I still think it needs to go. It is touching your house which makes me think damage to the house. You could trim it, but then it wouldn't look right. The roots might be causing foundation problems.
I like the trimmed crab apples. I would buy the house with mature trees if all other things were equal.
I think the outside of your house looks great, and you have really done a nice job with keeping it really tidy. I do have to agree that the first thing should be the paint colors for the bathroom and the blue bedroom, I also agree that the black and white decor is too much of a look. It isn't expensive to go with a white bed look, you can use your comforter and cover it with an ikea duvet cover in white with a texture, and then some textured but neutral pillows. The sofa look with the two different colored side chairs might be comfortable, but I think renting or even buying something a little more modern but not expensive will really, really help! Your house looks great though, don't get discouraged!
Or you can just drop the picture of the black and white bed from your pictures. It really doesn't add anything because it shows nothing of the room. I bet it looks fine in person.
In that picture with the sofa and the two chairs and the big expanse of wood floor, do you have a coffee table? If you do it might make the picture look better, you could even borrow one from a neighbor for the picture.
Sorry, I said 'pine' and am corrected that it is a spruce. It's a lovely tree, but it and the crabapples are overgrown. They dwarf your house.
I bet those are not the newer, blight-resistant crabs. I'd be removing them if I bought your house. (Sorry about your nutty neighbor, but you won't be LIVING there soon anyway.)
I like the photo that shows the vacant lot next to your house -- the one with the fire hydrant in the frame. (Maybe you could photo-shop the hydrant out of the pix.)
You've done a great job of de-cluttering.
What are coparable homes selling for per square foot? You can't include below-ground space in the overall in our area. (No basement 'bedrooms'.)
What is that weed monster attacking your mailbox? That simply looks like an untidy area and despite your best intentions, it is not really attractive to the landscape design. You don't want anything detracting from someone's first impression. You have a lovely home that could be showcased much better with some "curb appeal" attention.
Your house is nice, but you could focus on curb apeal to bring on the VERY nice that will seperate you from the masses of just nice. Hire a knowledgable tree person and have them trim prune and remove all the over growth on the shrubs close to the house and use their extpertise to cut the crabs WAY back especially the one closest to the drive.
Remove the plants that are swallowing the mailbox. Edge everywhere and brighten things up with a some well placed colorful mums and other fall plants Three by the mailbox - at least two near the walk by the door. Don't stick them around like raisons in a cookie - but look for a repeated pattern that draws the eyes to the door. Your welcome point to the home. Lose the trash cans, welcome flag they are not adding any joy. Take a drive, look through decor magazines and plan a nice fall display or wreath for your door or porch. Good time to splurge on a wow wreath from a nice home store. White pumpkins in a porch arrangement would look nice with the house colors. Good Luck!
Ok, distracting ourselves from the tree debate for a little while... I took a few different pictures today. I still need to work on the family room, but what do you think of these pics, specifically which living room picture do you like? Is it worth putting the front entry one in? Back of the house? (Since the front doesn't show size well) I retook the front walkway since my flowers are bigger now.
Is this better kitchen? I didn't have a bowl of apples for the island
Powder room
Living Room
Front entry
Front walk
I like the pictures of the front walk, the kitchen, bathroom, the back of the house and the one of the living room showing the entry. The entry closet doors, the nursery, and the other shots of the living room don't work for me. Why are the curtains closed? It looks like you're hiding something.
I also like picture #6 from your earlier post. I would not cut the trees-they add to the charm of your house. The grass behind the mailbox will not appeal to most people. I would cut that.
That kitchen picture is much better but it's a little too bare. Put the mixer back in the corner and put a bowl of fruit on the island or counter. Do you have a pretty kettle for the stove or any other decorative items?
When I sold my mom's house I left 4 decorative canisters, a coffee maker, a pretty spoon rest, and some attractive cookbooks between two bookends. She had a lot of countertop. I put a nice plant in the windowsill (there was no view),and yes a bowl of green apples on the table.
I wouldn't use the picture of the hall closet. It doesn't add anything.
Kitchen: Lose the rug and add a FEW tasteful decorative elements like the previously suggested bowl of fruit. But no clutter...
Living room: Remove the family pictures on the wall. In fact, take down all the smaller pictures and put one nice one over the couch. In the arrangement of the 2 purple chairs and table, move the table to the corner and chairs on each side to make a less "waiting room" look. Put one medium to large item on the coffee table that coordinates with the room colors.
The front porch needs bold colors like bright mums (I think this has been said before). Capitalize on the great fall colors!
Baby's rooms is fine except for remove the garbage can that is under the bed.
I'm not sure how much work you are wanting to do, but stained crown unless it is sizeable and in a very formal room isn't popular. I would paint that to either match your wall or you ceiling. Also. paint over or remove any stenciling. I have some myself and I know that when the time comes, I will have to repaint the wall that has my handpainted mural. It is too taste specific.
Do not do anything with the trees. I am so saddened to see some people saying "cut them down" or "I'd cut them down". Trees add much charm to your home, and much charm to a neighborhood. They are an asset :). If someone wants to cut them down, so be it. They are crabapples, not sycamores...fairly easy things to hack away, if you ask me.
Your home is very beautiful. I like the new pictures you took today. I also enjoy seeing your entrance hall through the sitting room/living room. The entrance to your home looks nice with your colourful impatiens. The red crib doesn't do much for me. There's a lot of personal effects in there. I LOVE those monkey things, my Mom has a lot, but people looking at the pics may not love them as much.
The kitchen picture is better but it's too bare now :). LOL.
The new pictures you took of the outside are also nice. I love that little "welcome" banner, it's so colorful and happy!
Not sure what the issue is with the grass around the mailbox, it's obviously ornamental grass and not weed grass. It adds some character to the home.
Good luck :).
I agree that the kitchen looks much better, albeit somewhat bare. However, I would still move the dining table and chairs back a little while you take the photos so that they do not intrude into the picture.
Also, another thumbs up for the ornamental grass. I love all the greenery you have out front :-)

The idea of virtualizing a function and then separating its management functions and them putting them under programmatic control has gotten quite a bit of attention in the market over the last year.

Associated Press
BEIRUT — Syria's cross-border attacks on Turkey in the past week look increasingly like they could be an intentional escalation meant to send a clear message to Ankara and beyond, that the crisis is simply too explosive to risk foreign military intervention.
With Turkey eager to defuse the crisis, the spillover of fighting is giving new life to a longshot political solution, with the Turks floating the idea of making President Bashar Assad's longtime vice president, Farouk al-Sharaa, interim leader if the president steps aside.
A military option — which would involve foreign powers that already have expressed a deep reluctance to getting involved in the crisis — is still not on the table, analysts say, despite six consecutive days of Turkish retaliation against bombardment from inside Syria.
"Syria is aware that Turkey cannot go a step further," said Ali Tekin, assistant professor of International Relations at Ankara's Bilkent University. "The Turkish people don't want a war and there are no vital national interests at stake to warrant a war. Syria sees this."
The Syrian conflict has taken a prominent role in the U.S. presidential election at a time when the U.S. and its allies have shown little appetite for getting involved.
On Monday, Republican candidate Mitt Romney said the U.S. should work with other countries to arm the Syrian rebels, allowing the rebels to drive Assad from power themselves. Romney did not call for the U.S. to directly arm the Syrian rebels.
The most recent flare-up between Syria and Turkey started Wednesday, when a shell fired from Syria slammed into a house in the Turkish border village of Akcakale, killing two women and three children. That set off the most serious and prolonged eruption of violence along the frontier since the uprising began nearly 19 months ago.
Although it was not clear whether Wednesday's shelling was intentional, Turkey responded swiftly by firing back and convening parliament for a vote that authorized further cross-border military operations if necessary.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan cautioned Damascus not to test Turkey's "limits and determination." But the Syrian shelling has continued every day — leading many observers to conclude the acts are intentional provocation.
"It's not an accident. You can't send shells across the border by mistake five days in a row," said Mustafa Alani, a Middle East analyst of the Geneva-based Gulf Research Center, just hours before Syrian shelling struck Turkey for a sixth day.
There have been no other reports of casualties from the shelling since Wednesday's deaths.
An activist group said Monday the number of people killed in the conflict crossed the threshold of 32,000 over the weekend, and the pace is accelerating.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it counted 32,079 dead as of Sunday — among them 22,980 civilians and civilians-turned fighters, 7,884 members of the Syrian military and 1,215 army defectors fighting alongside the rebels.
In the past week alone, more than 1,200 people were killed, according to the head of the Observatory, Rami Abdul-Rahman, who said he only counts named victims or those whose death is verified by other means, such as amateur video.
Also Monday, a suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near a compound of the Syrian intelligence service on the outskirts of Damascus, a Syrian official said.

Just a few pics
No blooms yet so sorry to disappoint.
JJ's Delightful with seed pod
JJ's Scentsational, cant wait for this one to bloom again
NOID white that bloomed last winter. Im concerned with how tall and lanky this one is getting. Its not uncommon for use to have 20-30mph winds with gust to 40+. Im undecided if I should just stake it or cut it and root the top. Or am i just paranoid. What do you think?
Mike- Exciting about the seed pod, sure sign of a happy tree!
John showed me a blooming Scentsational late in my visit....i'd already spent WAY too much money so I didn't take it home. Of course now it is on my wish list. Enjoy it when it blooms, what a fragrance!
When i bought the scentsational last year it was in bloom and it was an amazing smell.
I think I will stake the tall one tonight.
Hopefully soon Ill get an inflo. Im sure if I stop checking for one everyday that might help, LOL
Mike, your trees are very far along for foliage--very nice!
I think "NOID white" is synonymous with "tall and lanky". My NOID white bloomed then took a year off to grow tall and lanky, and is showing no sign of blooming this year either. You should probably stake yours, but give it enough play to sway in the wind--that'll help it grow a stronger trunk.
Hi Mike,
I had a Nebel's Gold that was tall and lanky like that. I din't stake it and one day we had very string winds. I went out to find that plumeria blown over(the next day) and in PIECES! I did try to root them, I traded some, and sadly, none rooted AND I lost the main plumeria:(
I too have Scentsational. I got it from a dear friend of mine, and it rooted right away! I am hoping this year it will bloom. Flowers are gorgeous, from the pics I have seen they don't looke like there pure white. I have heard from more than a few people that Scentsational really does describe the scent. CAN'T WAIT!
so for the past month once a week I check my favorite nursery for new plumeria and what do ya know, they got them in.
I picked up 2...today hehe Each was $25
Inca gold, only one they had so it was a must buy now decision
others they had were these
california sunset
hearts desire
angles touch
mini white
premium rainbow
So of these are any of them a must have and by that I mean, "You better go get it before someone who isnt really a plumeria lover walks by and says "hey thats a pretty plant i think Ill buy it" and then get its home not knowing how to care for it, puts in in a pot of Miracle grow, never feeds it, over waters it, leaves it out this winter and kills it, then realizes um maybe it should have brought it in and now someone who is addicted to these things cant have it." Yeah Im that serious, lol.
Hi Mike, What a lucky find. I wish we had sales like that here. We can get a noid no color plant for $30. I think they are still trying to sell the same ones each year. I've never even seen an inflo on one. Maybe they'll put them on sale one day. Congrats on your new babies. Peg
they had them last year but they didnt move very fast and come july they had marked them down 50%. Thats when I picked up my first JJ's. Its very, very hard for me to stay away from there
k2, these are at Southwood Nursery if you make it over here one day. They have about 30 or so but that was the only Inca.
Hi Mike,
I made it to Southwood after work! It was worth a 90 min drive. You were right, there were lots of JJ plumeria plants there. To my surprise, I found the last Inca Gold with 4 tips and 3 inflos (yay!). I heard a lot of good things about Divine, there were quite a few there as well, most have inflos coming. I picked one with the most buds on the inflo and a thick trunk.
That is so awesome!! I didn't see that other Inca. I almost bought that same divine. I may sneak back and get one today. I think you and I will have to spread the word about plumeria in Ok and maybe one day the society will have a sale here or in OKC
You lucky ducks!! OMG! What fantastic finds! Yes, K2, that was worth the 90 minute drive--good-looking plants and great cultivar choices.
Mike, from what I hear the Divine is a must-have. Don't know much about the others but I doubt you can go wrong with JJ's.
Now why can't we get those at nurseries in Texas? I think there must be a mafia of Texas NOID plumeria growers keeping JJ's out because NOIDs are everywhere in the summertime. Probably a good thing for me JJ's isn't sold close by, actually, LOL!
I think we should get the words out. I like your idea!
I sympathize with you...at least you get lots of choices there, and my, the upcoming PSA sales in Houston and Rosenberg should be festive for any plumieholic at heart. I'll post some pics on the JJ plumies I found at the nursery yesterday. Maybe you can live through my experience as I've lived through your PSA one from last year =)
