There is a species of Cypress that is poisonous:
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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
So pretty much any plant you can think of, minus kale or coffee beans?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, Hil. Health-ma to you, m'dear.
And Zen, backflung.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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.

Heh, Tom.
And that made me want to follow-up with some other awesome people beating off muggers:

I would like Steph's doctor, too, please.
Also, as I've been proclaiming everywhere, I heart the internet and am glad it is in my new home at last. Yay.
