Gardeners: Any advice for the Infamous Black Thumb?

I have confessed my black thumb before and made some of you cringe at my sloppy gardening, but this article I saw on Yahoo made me wonder if I should exert myself and get a couple of these plants in our home, since they help detoxify the air. The peace lily is pretty but I wonder how hard it is to care for. Will it go the way of my cyclamen? Any of you gardeners have advice for me?

    Get ivy. It's pretty and forgiving if you fail to water regularly.

    True, Rita! The ivy they put in office buildings will develop roots on trimmings if just in water. :) If you bring any Lily plant inside, and some others, be careful if you have cats. They are toxic. I can't give much advice, as it's taken me about 20 years to have a front flower bed that reproduces itself each spring/summer with only a bit of weeding and maybe a few annuals thrown in for variety. Good luck!

    I don't have cats so I think I'll be okay. I might try both ivy and lilies to see which I can kill faster. :)

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures
