Just remembered I took pics of this bucket Tuesday... (I pasted the update info below from a recent thread where I was babbling about this plant, so don't feel crazy if you think you already read about this.) It is apparently a great scratching post for kitties. The barn cats at the farm have multiplied and the kitties are determined to make sure all of the plants look like strange Monstera cousins, with holes in every leaf. The flower stalks on the Callisia fragrans are gone, broken off. But the plants don't look like they are too bothered by it, and/or determined to outgrow the playful kitties. He is enjoying it so much he gave me an empty bucket and asked me to fill it with whatever plants I could spare that would enjoy his porch, and asked me to put all of the Callisia stolons the kitties have broken in another bucket. He had half a dozen plastic cups of water for them on his kitchen table, each with a tangle of roots already. This past Monday, as we sat there and ate McDonald's with the Callisia cups, he talked about these plants the whole time. All he ever used to talk about before was what an idiot his boss is, what scammers the politicians are, how his family only comes around when they want something, and just a lot of negativity in general. The next time anyone encounters a lonely old guy (or gal!) and you have a tough plant or two to spare, give it to them and say you need help with an experiment to see how it will grow at their house... Amazing!

With that stupid situation going on with "vote for the worst" anything can happen. (Vote for the worst dot com)While the site gurus are sticking with voting for Tim Urban, anyone that doesn't really understand what the site is about may vote for who they think is the worst from last night. This can really skew the votes, and is likely why Big Mike was in trouble last week. I really don't think any one of the bunch is that much of a standout, but I do agree that Andrew was pathetic last night. I hope he goes home as he has bored me for weeks now. Casey bores me too, but I know he is popular so I would doubt he'll go anywhere. Aaron was coming along but sure didn't show much stage presence last night. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out, and don't forget, the judges have used their one save for the season, so anyone could go home now. Suzan J

I want Tim to go. He should have gone a long time ago. For once, I didn't agree with Somon's opinions of Casey. I though he did an excellent job with the song. He doesn't have a big personality on stage, but that guy can sing. Nothing wrong with that. Crystal is still my fav to win. She looked great last night.

I agree, it was hard to choose a favorite this year. They had much better talent this year.Enjoy the finale, I won't be a spoiler anyway! LOL
