# Ok...
..point taken.

It's a sunday, lighten up. I thought we were all friends here? I'm not trying to piss anyone off.

And i'll try to be more inventive in future.

I was just playing about, no need for all this disharmony..

# It's always like this.
You get what you join up for. I'm only trying to deliver to you what generally is the reason for all the negativity.
Nevermind sweetheart though, just pick yourself up and try again.

# I will..
Like a rubberball i'll bounce back.

Wasn't telling you to lighten up, just got a bit weirded out by the attacks. i don't do personal insults.

Unlike the Pappa Nazi.. lol! (dude, that is a joke, i'm sure you're a lovely person. With kittens. And a rosebush.)

# Godwin's Law strikes again :)
I am actually, a very lovely person. I used to have a kitten but she died a long time ago. Now I have a NaziGerman Shepherd. I do have a rosebush but it's not looking too healthy. Conversely, the rosebushes at my last house went really well. I don't think little pots are any good for roses :(

# Personally...
..i'm botanically challenged. A cactus and a couple of spider plants are about all i can keep alive...

I give other plants to ma Meré, she's got not much else to do... apart from golf, bridge, walking, holidays... Damn she's busy!

# LOL
Some friends of mine gave me a cactus as a housewarming present many years ago. Cute little thing in a pot about 4" cube. No one had ever told me about how to grow cactii so I figured hey, they grow in the desert so don't need water, right? So I never watered it. It got to about a foot high then sort of tapered off; about 1" diameter at the main part and a tapering tip like a condom.

A couple of years later I move back in with the folks (as you do when your visa card spirals out of control) and mum takes a look at this cactus of mine and asks "haven't you been watering that?" "No, I says. it's a cactus!" "uh... " she groaned and took it off me. She then repotted it in a large pot and gave it a little water every now and then. Now the damn thing is 3 feet tall, is about 1" diameter for a foot, then tapers to 1/2" for about 1" height then blows out to about 2" diameter and has grown another 2 feet! Strangest looking cactus you've ever seen. Needs to be staked up of course since it's so top heavy :)
