Joan, I think you meant to say:

Here's a little stopsign:
          __
        .'  '.
        |STOP|    
        '.__.'

I think your dandelion with the seed escaping should look like this
though:

              `    `;:`
        .;:;        /

I notice that the garden in your sig is dandelion free....



and I still think your dandelion with the seed escaping should look like
this
though:

              `::`
               /
              `    `;:`
        .;:;        /
        ::;        `
      _ ';:;;'
      >'. ||  _
      `> \||.'<
        `>|/ <`
         `||/` 
   ^jgs^^^^^^^^^^^


NOTE: If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e"
to "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

This is where you should touch wood...

(remember: http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/ascii/ASCII2.HTML )

Otherwise something might happen to change that...

            `::`
             /
            `  `;:`
       .;:;     /  .;:;.       .;:;;,      .;:;:,
       ::;     `  ::;;':       ::;;':      ::;;':
     _ ';:;;'     ';:;;'       ';:;;'      ';:;;'        
     >'. ||  _  >'. ||  _    >'. ||  _   >'. ||  _   \/   |_| /\ /\
     `> \||.'<  `> \||.'<    `> \||.'<   `> \||.'<   /\     | \/ \/
       `>|/ <`    `>|/ <`      `>|/ <`     `>|/ <`
        `||/`      `||/`        `||/`       `||/`
