I think she had a take on Gilbert and Sullivan as well. I need to find it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Did not watch the debate and am not planning to watch any further debates. I like my blood pressure the way it is.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Jim, Ken and I have been YouTube Party-watching Alton Brown's Quarantine Quitchen; Alton and his wife Elizabeth were going to do a debate watch-and-post, realized on the night they didn't have the stomach for it, and instead had a lively discussion of mayo-based hot dips and how to make a boulevardier. Which was a much better use of my time, because I got a cocktail out of it.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

aurelia, I had snapdragons that did pretty well indoors and were cat-safe. Though not cat-proof, mine regarded the plants as toys and proceeded to play kickball with them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

aurelia - philodendron or spider plant? In my experience they are both quite hardy and low maintenance - I'm not positive about the cat safety without doing some research but I have had them and cats in the same house without anything bad happening, for sure.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

aurelia - consider the cast iron plant Aspidistra elatior

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

I've had a particular spider plant for years. Murray the Gray Cat nibbles on it constantly. During warm weather I put the poor thing outside and let it recover from him for a few weeks. It's quite hardy and supposed to clean the air too.

That's what an aspidistra looks like? Huh

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

aurelia, we have spider plants and sansiveria (aka snake plant) in our house with two kitties and they work wonders. I also have a ficus which gives a nice variation.
