Okay, it doesn't appear on any list of Toxic to Cats that I can find, but I'm still a little nervous about it. I don't want this thing badly enough to risk my cats' health. I don't want it at all, really. It's got little ornaments and lights... maybe I'll Freecycle it. Hope he doesn't want a photo.
I'm just baffled that he sent this to me. He's known me for 16 years and surely knows I've never put up a tree. Not that I don't like them, I do, but we always go to my sister's (big) house for the holidays and she has a tree, and I don't want to deal with the mess. I already had to vacuum, just from taking it out of the box. Damn. "Don't give people live presents," isn't that the rule?
Make it an outdoor tree, much easier to care for.
There is a species of Cypress that is poisonous:
see?
So pretty much any plant you can think of, minus kale or coffee beans?
This says it's a European Cypress. It smells good. But I'm starting to get allergy symptoms. I think the Universe is telling me to get the tree out of the house.
I'd plant it, but the directions say plant it in the Spring. Jeepers. I may plant it anyway, and let it take its chances.
Your mom's or your sister's?
My mother using a computer would be one of the signs of the Apocalypse. It was my sister's computer, which apparently hadn't been talking to the ATT e-mail server since May. Then we had a drama when she wouldn't give me her password so I could set up her account again.
It will probably live in your climate, Zenkitty, although you might want to cover it if there's a 20-degree forecast in the next month.
OK, this is just getting ridiculous. I'm not coughing as much, but I seem to have caught a stomach bug. I had to pull over at a gas station on my way home from campus because I had to throw up. I bought a big bag of pretzels while I was there, because I'm pretty sure that the quinoa and kale stew that I was planning to have for dinner would not be the best choice.
I put the thing outside in a pot and watered it. If I ever get the energy to dig a damn hole in the ground, I might plant it.
Erin, insent...
Oh, Hil. Health-ma to you, m'dear.
And Zen, backflung.
Man tries to mug MMA fighter.
The mugging victim was able to get control of the gun, and the two wrestled, with Miranda accidentally firing his gun and shooting himself in the ankle during the fight.
The victim, who told police he’s a mixed-martial artist, held Miranda down until the police and found Miranda with a face full of cuts and two black eyes. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment.
