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.

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess I always thought an aspidistra was a spider plant! Due to all the similar letters???
