Thant's one thing you'll be grateful for, the cat might not go on your plants or make use of it as a litter box. I love the fact that your life is a beautifully variable one, with interesting friends, well done, blessings Roy

Darrrrrling.
This is when you slip in the reeeaaaaallllyyy appropriate image. I have never considered these two as same. - what fun. Even though I DO get the very Deep and Technical concept that all belov-Ed indoor species start-ed out as outdoor under appreciative WEEDS. (Duh)
A photo here would prove to me I am still in genius class.
Stop being silly so you help boost my sad ego. Do the world a GarGAntuAn favor, dear. There's no telling what I could accomplish if just one person really believed in me. Wow.

But I love spider plants -when you are a cheap college kid they go a long way, give you lot more chances. Just fun.
I smell something stinky and I thank it* YUoUOUou

I see that the gift of crabgrass/spiderplant has gotten you in a crabby mood. Mick sounds like another 'dick'.
You might get away with deviously killing your unwelcome gift with this all-natural method: Simply spray vinegar (5% acidity or higher) on the weed until it's drenched. Repeat a few times over the course of several days to a couple weeks, or until the crabgrass dies.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
Oh dear! Poor you. My personal bane is Christmas cactus. Looks lovely for about one week a year with glorious blooms that look as though they are decorations from the Chinese New Year carnival, but for the rest of the time it's a shrivelled up mess that pretends to be dead.

Comment from karenina
Ah. The unwanted gift that keeps on giving!
I would say send it to me, since I have the uncanny ability to make artificial flowers and plants wither and die...
Ah, but Mick would be highly suspicious if it up and disappeared!
Keep repeating it's the thought that counts...and counts...and counts...
Good grief!

Comment from lyenochka
Lol! Oh well, I'm sort of good with plants but I have neglected the spider plant that my daughter left waterlogged in the bathroom after she moved out. So fear not, even spider plants can die a natural death. Actually, I finally put it outdoors and it is threatening to make a comeback...

You picture matches your spidery plant perfectly. It makes a good toy for your cat.
It's good that your daughter has a boyfriend. I guess this is a different daughter than the one you often talk about with MS.
I really like the humor in the essay.

Same daughter--one and only.

I'm so glad she has a boyfriend.
Comment from Jay Squires
Grabgrass! Just the name forces me to tighten up into fists! They are taking over my front yard, wrapping around the bases of my thirty-some rosebushes. But you say you have it contained to a plastic pot. I don't know what damage it will do seeing it is inside and on your window sill. If it doesn't work out between Mick and your daughter, take it by car to the other side of town. That will increase the amount of time before it grows back to you.
