You can pick one up at any Catholic or religious gift store. I found this place on line if you don't mind driving into Austin.

Catholic Arts & Gifts
6113 Burnet Road

Sorry, I couldn't find a phone #, but maybe you could call information and try to find the # that way before you drive there. They should have them.

Mine's not working either, but I think I buried him wrong. I buried him lying on his stomach. So today I will bury him upside down.

I got ours at a local store/pharmacy. Had it buried last year and couldn't find it. This spring when ground thaw started I noticed the base and dug it up, wash it and put it in a plant in our front bay window. So far-no luck.

Painter-what happened this morning-inquiring minds want to know.

Oh figure this another 4 hits on our listing since yesterday but no action.

I am going to have to get me one of those things and bury it. Never hurts right?

I stopped looking at the amount of hits our house gets. We have over 1500 hits and only 3 showings. It really sucks.

Lorrie, I have a better one..

we lived a couple hours north of Vegas there in Southern Utah, and my younger son and fiance LOVE Vegas, their wedding is there next April, big huge destination wedding at a country club, etc..anyway, when one walks the Strip there are all kinds of folks handing out 'stripper cards' no kidding, very scantily clad women advertising strip places. I guess it's legal. Anyway, Scott brought some to us when he went to vegas and then to our place, and they buried them in the yard. I don't know where...they figured old St. Joe wasn't working so maybe stripper cards would. Mind you this is Utah. Anyway, we didn't have time to remember where they buried the cards, so our new buyers are in for quite a surprise if they ever dig up anything, lol. Thought I would share...hehe

Dogmom I would love to see their reaction if they find those cards! Your ears will be burning, can you imagine what they will say and or think, to funny!

Well I found out it is the little house they want to see and now they changed to this evening. She got called into work so at least she is polite enough to call! Found out it is the couple I showed the place to when I first started the rehab on it, he loved it she was 50-50 on it, then afew months later their mom called who lives 3 house down and inquired about it and told my agent I was crazy on the price, heheh. Now the couple has relocated back here and want to see it again. The son wants to be on the loop and I think he is a momma's boy so it looks good so far. The bad thing is there will be no profit on it, I am just unloading it.

Wow Barb that is a hoot. I hope they find it though to show your friends. They will get a kick out of it. I think? You could go digging for it and when the police arrive they would do nothing but laugh and if they have home on the market they just might take them "for evidence" LOL and bury it themselves.

I have decided something today. I am really bummed about how things are going with selling my house. BUT I need to remember that nothing in my neighborhood has sold for about 6 months. So I have decided that I am not going to get down in the dumps about it unless I see something in my area (I have 6 for sale just on my street) sells. If something sells, then I will start to wonder why. But if nothing is selling, then it is just not my fault. People are just not buying in my area right now.
