I really really don't know why!!! The worst is that Sharry Baby is on my wishlist. I need to get my head examined, something must be seriously wrong..... Maybe I should go back tomorrow to see if it's still there?

I think you should have a peep at the vendors site too ! this one won't dissapoint! I started with one then decided to buy one for my mum and decided to buy myself one at the same time so I now have 2!

hehe - I got a Sharry Baby at Trader Joe's a couple years ago - it was funny - they must have just got in a shipment, cos there were a lot of orchids crammed together - I was standing there, just starting to look them over, and I could smell something very nice! Had to look for it amongst all the others

TJs varies on if the plants have tags - guess it just depends who the current supplier is ...

I think I have to keep it down to one, I've sort of gotten in trouble with the dutch government

and they are quite insistent on emptying my bank account.... Last winter/spring I had a job after graduating, and since it was less than 4 months I wasn't obliged to take out dutch health insurance (could stay on the french one from what I understood). But my contract got extended and I worked 4 months and 1 week. Thought it wouldn't matter. WRONG. Took out insurance in August since I'll be working here 4 years and they dug around. Well, I got fined for not having dutch insurance earlier (400€) and also have to make back payments all the way back to December 2010 (another 100€/month). Got to call on monday to try to plead my case as a poor stupid ill-informed foreigner (which I am)..... If it doesn't work I'm not going to see a penny of my september paycheck.
