Go Nilly! (all-purpose support and cheering you on)
Pete, the others got to it before me, but pothos and aspidistra are hardy (my mother had a pothos on the side of the jacuzzi in her bathroom and the vine extended all the way around and, when she wasn't noticing, it literally climbed the wall - we pulled it off and some of the paint came with it ... tenacious little thing).
David, I saw someone on the bus the other day and was thinking how you'd LOVE her hair - dark, very thick, cut in an angled bob (extreme angle - chin length in front, above the nape in back) with thick bangs and the nape was cut into a V. Very striking.
While I was at the dentist, they had HGTV on the tv and it was some "green" design program and they mentioned (I swear) Ivy as a very good air cleaning plant.
Dana, if you figure out the house selling mojo, please to be sharing. Don't wanna be a downer, but mine is still sitting on the market with nary an offer.
My very kind and considerate PhD supervisor managed to get me an extension of two weeks in my dissertation deadline, due to all the computer problems I experienced in the last few weeks.
Oh, that's got to be a relief!
My house will sell even if there's a stain on the counter, right?
Yes.

This is such a relief. Now if we could figure out a way to help you get your work done and some sleep!
Yay for Nilly's kind and considerate PhD supervisor. I hope we still get more late-night Nilly, though.

Yes. (Have you tried paper towels soaked in bleach?)
Yes. (Have you tried paper towels soaked in bleach?)
I was thinking about bleach. The cleaning crew, who did an otherwise great job, responded to the message I left them yesterday with "Yeah, tried to get it out, sorry."
I usually leave a bleach-soaked paper towel on the spot for about five minutes, then check its progress. You can kind of mush the paper towel to roughly the shape of the stain. If that doesn't work, there's always the strategically located basket of treats.

That was going to be my suggestion! at any rate, a stain won't prevent the house from selling. not at all!
This morning my window unit AC started leaking like crazy into the house. Of course I noticed this 20 minutes before I had to leave to take my dog to my friend's house and catch a ride to work before going to Vegas for the weekend. I'm sure it's just that the ac tipped funny or something and it should be easy to fix but I get back in late Saturday evening and the ac is screwed into the window frame so a pain in the ass to shift. grrrrrrrrrrr
