Thanks; online sales explains why I have not seen them. There are an
amazing variety of those things. A neighbor has "loves skiing" indicated.

I swear I've seen them at least once in a brick & mortar store, but
can't remember where. I bet you might find them in the accessories
department of some auto-dealerships, but I don't frequent them so it's
only a guess.

I have been pondering, and now I'm sure I saw them in a crafts store
like AC Moore or Michaels.

As a matter of fact, I've found if you don't know where to look for
a lot of stuff, try there.

We got ours at either Joanne's fabrics or Michaels. I had accidentally
picked up two dads which prompted the clerk to ask if I really had two
husbands. That was a tad embarrassing.

You just probably don't shop at the types of stores that sell them. I have
seen them many places but we wondered too until we realized that they are
usually in fabric and craft type stores. I think one of the dollar stores
had them too.

There's a couple of approriate ones for singles.
Here's one I used to have:

Lucky you. The stickers have been in plague proprtions in the great
breeding pen known as suburban Australia for several years now.

Thankfully there now seems to be something of a backlash and are
finally becoming less popular here.

Thanks, I don't go to Joanne's or Michael's very often - so that's
probably where I saw it.

Guess I'm the proverbial stick in the mud. No way am I putting decals
on my car. Or bumper stickers or anything else.

Where are these displayed? The one in the previous post you showed was more
then a bit scary! (the hanging one)

Same here, Ed. No decals or bumper stickers on my car. Some years back
I got pretty tired of seeing that decal of Calvin peeing on [whatever]
on pickup trucks.

Of course, there are nervous nellies warning how someone
could use the information they glean from those family
decals to do you harm. Whatever. People seem to get a
kick out of them, they don't bother me.

I've seen personalize memorials decals, too, so I guess
imagination's the limit what you can use your rear window
to put out to the people driving behind you.

That's funny! :-D I saw a "Baby On Board" caution sign on a car the
other day. (I haven't seen one of those in about 20 years.) The woman
was busy talking away on a cell phone while driving 45mph/72.4km/h.
Apparently everyone *else* is supposed to be aware of the baby but the
mother/grandmother driving the car doesn't have to be. Heh.

I saw one a couple of weeks ago. Please, not them again! Heh.
Gee, I was going to speed up and smash into that car, but now
I see there is a baby, I guess I won't.

Okaaaaaaaaaaay! The only info I want to put out to cars behind is 'Keep
back' <g>

Drivers here have stickers that say things like child/baby on board and I
have a sticker 'Help for Heroes (see my sig) and also for the Dog's trust
where we get our rescue dogs, but all those stick people are new to me) I
don't think I want to advertise my life in stick people either)

Incidentally it is illegal here to use your cellphone while driving. Not
that it seems to stop some people.

Sort of like the commercial where the couple walks into a cellular store
with an infant and expects everyone to speak in whispers so as not to wake
the baby. LOL

I'll join you in the mud ! Who cares whether the people ahead of you
have two kids, ninety kids, five dogs, three cats. I have started
to see some pushback stickers now, one the other day indicated no kids
and no desire to have any

In NY it's illegal to drive with anything hanging from the rearview
mirror yet I see people driving with all sorts of doodads hanging from
their rearview mirror, from fuzzy dice to deodorizers... driving with
a handicapped placcard hanging from the rearview mirror is illegal
too... and in most states including CT.

Clearly it's not stopping anyone here, either. Texting seems
to have replaced talking, for the most part.

It is illegal to use hand held electronic devices here in Ontario. It
has been illegal for a few years but people kept doing it, so they
boosted the fine. With victim fund surcharge it is $280. After that
increase I started to see people pulled over to use their phones, but I
still see lots of people driving around with a cell phone to their ear
or texting while driving.

Here you can get fined £100 and get 3 penalty points on your licence. Once
you have a total of 12 points you can be banned from driving!

I think it's an actual addiction. People just can't stop
themselves.

I don't know the actual laws & penalties where I live. I don't own a
cell phone. Even if I did I know better than to talk/text on the phone
while driving.

Possibly. I sure don't have it. I have a cell phone with an inexpensive
monthly rate for 55 minutes and rarely use more than 5. Since it is for
emergencies, I have to remember to take my phone with me. Sometimes I
leave it on just so that I can call it and locate it when it rings. I
had to do that a couple weeks ago. I turned up inside a waterproof case
inside my kayaking deck bag in the car. I had used it 3-4 days before.
By that time the battery was too low to be much use.

We don't put anything on our vehicles either, but some people do. I
think he just wanted to know where they are found. I dunno why.
Maybe he wants to buy them as a joke for someone else. So what if he
does.
