From The Root: "Trump has proven himself to be a trash can who paints his skin with garbage truck juice"
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

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???

I think I was picturing some sort of smallish tree. For no particular reason, just generic plant image. Pretty sure my mental image of a ficus is equally inaccurate.

Yep, that is not what I thought at all
