Houseplants
I've killed them all. I don't think plants like being indoors, please give me the name of a plant that likes being indoors. I had a cactus. It's dead.

We could have a contest.  I am a master plant killer too.  I finally gave up when the last one drooped over the side of the pot and wheezed it's last.

People who have told me that 'I can't kill one of those' have never seen my plant killing skills in action.

I'm always up for a contest!

We both buy a houseplant suggested by a member. We post pictures of the houseplant. The one who manages to keep the houseplant alive the longest gets another houseplant.

I haven't thought this through.

Spider plant.  People who know more about this sort of thing than I do swear that these are virtually idiot-proof.  Very forgiving if you neglect them for a bit, they do well in pots or on hangers, and aren't picky about sunlight.

Good luck.

Yeah...maybe back to the drawing board on that plan.   Hehe 

I don't think I can take the pressure.

Pretty sure this idiot is looking at a photo of a plant I have been able to kill in the past.

I don't think I've killed one of them. Yet.

You could just buy plants that are suppose to die.

(or at least that's what you tell yourself)

RE: Houseplants
A houseplant would be great.

How long a growing season do you need for a 3 bedroom split level?
