That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Pretty is hard!

And, yet? Shrift and Dana seem to accomplish it!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I kill plants.

This is me. Someone gave me bamboo (the kind that just grows in a vase with water and rocks and needs no interaction from a human being) and it died. Its not possible but it did.

Oh man. I had Very Yellow Chicken (aka, curried chicken strips,) rice and tomato and cuke salad. And I'm burping curry and cuke.

Once upon a time, I mentioned the fact my mom too had a black thumb. Until she got knocked up and had me. I opined that I'm good with being a plant killer.

Pete, pothos is almost impossible to kill, does not attract bugs, grows in any light and you can train it onto shaped structures or just cut the vines off when they get too long.

If the vines get scraggly, you can cut them off, shove them in dirt and grow a whole new pot. Hardier than a hardy thing.

eta: forgot to mention the common name: Devil's Ivy. heh.

It really is the non-plant-person's plant.

I currently have 3 pots...all of which came from one stem. When the vines get long, I just drape them around the pot. The thick, waxy leaves are high oxygenators (if there is such a word) and are easy to clean.

Plus the cool name.

Oooh! Big lightning and thunder. Power just went off for a few minutes.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I second Bonny's take on the Pothos. It really is nearly impossible to kill. And will do well in low light. Hang 'em, stake 'em up, they'll do just about anything.

I want shrift's hair style!
