Default Drowning houseplant - Thank you!

Lack of social skills?

Hellion pretending to be a helpless damsel in distress when she is really an
inept evil bitch would hardly be my idea of someone who has good social
skills.

If she is expecting to find people to kiss her evil ass, she should look
somewhere else.

If I met her in person, I surely would tell her to take a hike. I don't
waste my time with those kind of manipulative phonies.

Yeah, why don't you try something radical like look in a book, you lazy good
for nothing.

Hellion is obviously far too lazy and stupid to be anything as difficult as
a lawyer. An office clerk maybe.

Hi madgardener,

Thank you for your kind post. As a matter of fact, I've been online
since 1995, but it's been a while since I checked any newsgroups. I
forgot about trolls and flamers. Even if Cereus-Validus was the
greatest expert on this earth, I killfiled him. Because it doesn't
matter how knowledgeable you are if you don't have a minimum of social
skills. Dry humour doesn't translate well on the net, especially when
talking to someone for the first time. That said, I probably shouldn't
have answered him, but like I said, it's been a while since I've been
to any newsgroups, and I forgot how useless answering to people like
that can be. I can only hope that he too will learn from this and just
shut up when he doesn't have anything nice to say.

Thanks for the book suggestion, I will check it out. I have a pretty
good book, but I left it at work, because it's where most of my plants
are. Therefore, I don't have the name of my big plant, I looked around
the net for an hour to find its name before posting, but I was
unsucessful. Maybe it's a scheflerra after all. I will check in my
book on Monday.

The only other plant I have at home is a pothos, and it's quite
beautiful. Oh, and I forgot to mention the cherry tomatoes I got a few
weeks ago. No red one as of yet, I live in Canada, and we didn't get
warm weather yet.

At work, I have several african violets, as well as an aphelandra, and
a staghorn fern. The fern is quite spectacular, although it's still
pretty young. I love looking at the new leaves growing, it's quite
amazing how this plant has two different types of leaves. La nature
fait bien les choses (nature does things well)

I wish I had a garden, but city living often doesn't allow it. So my
tomatoes are my only outdoor life at the moment.

I like hawortias too.

Have a good weekend too...
