Janet et al..... I'm laughing so hard that I can barely type! And of COURSE, after spending the past 1/2 hour in stitches browsing the two Chia-sites, I can heartedly endorse 'em! THESE are truly works of art (albeit slightly bizarre!) <still rolling on the floor laughing> For those who may have missed Janet's post listing the two TOTALLY and outrageously tongue-in-cheek URLS, both follow: An Interactive Guide to the Chia Pet Zoo <http://www.accessone.com/~jonathin/dmain.htm> Joseph Enterprises Interactive <http://www.chiapet.com/> Hustle on over IMMEDIATELY and have FUN!
