I think that would be a nice gift, aurelia. But sometimes it's hard to tell what will offend someone....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bah. This cow's signal strength keeps going from strong down to zero and back.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A peace lily would probably be a safer (more predictable) choice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
aurelia, if you think your friend would appreciate it (and aren't afraid of the inevitable rude aunt), I say go with the bamboo. It's not like it comes with mylar balloons saying GOOD LUCK@!!!

Would this [link] be a tacky bereavement gift?
A friend got me a subscription to Suicide Girls recently to cheer me up when another friend died. That's not for everyone though.
I think the bamboo is a lovely idea, and if you think she'd appreciate it, you probably know better than we do.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
FWIW, I really appreciated things like that that lasted longer than a traditional floral arrangement.

Lookit my baby cousin! She's a star of today.
Woohoo on the baby cousin! And the photo credit made me do a doubletake until I realized that ITA meant International Tennis Association, and not ita.
Welcome to Chicago, shrift!

It's up to 16 degrees. My iBook's battery is down to 13%. Time to go home....

I'm about a week behind, so rude aunts aren't too much of a concern. Yeah Brenda, that's why I really want to avoid cut flowers. I also think the bamboo will fit into their home better. Okay, bamboo it is.

Definitely the bamboo, then.
