This is a shitty day; I’ve already had to google how many cough drops I’m allowed to take before I drop dead. Twice.

Oof. I’m sorry; it must be rough if that’s really a legitimate concern. Drinking hot water with lemon juice might help-- at the very least it won’t put you in the ground.

I don’t think there’s anything scarier than being the last one left at work and feeling like some of the pieces move when I look away as I’m passing by. I’m only a little bit ashamed to say that it happens pretty often.

Be careful. If they’re just scooting things around, you’ll probably be fine, but you might want to stay alert for bad omens. Where do you work?

Happy Halloween-ish! Sorry to those of you that have school or work this week, but I’ll try to celebrate enough for all of us.

Maybe you could try finding a replacement?

Yeah, totally. I hope that goes well anyway! Maybe his cactus was already on its way to dying when he asked you to cactus-sit?

I’d rather be upfront about it, especially since finding an exact duplicate would probably be pretty difficult. But if he wants a new one, I’ll absolutely do that.

Thanks, I hope so, too. Could be! I wouldn’t know the signs of cactus-death, and he probably wouldn’t have realized either.

oneredthreadquinn:

I can’t say I do… I’ve never had a cactus. You could google it?

Neither have I-- it’s a friend’s, actually. It sounds easy in theory, but here we are. Tried and failed, but thank you.

hbichays:

Yes, because I totally know everything there is to know about cacti - as if that’s something a normal person would actually care about. Let me just grab my encyclopedia and magical cacti wizard wand.

Or better yet, you could Google that shit and not embarrass yourself by asking something like that out loud again.

Actually I was under the impression that a normal person might have a wide variety of interests, possibly but not necessarily including cactus care and management. I’m not sure what your vendetta is against that, but, uh, it’s cool-- obviously it’s not in my wheelhouse either, hence the predicament.  Or maybe your problem is with people asking for help?

 Anyway, thanks for the Original Tip and concern for my self-esteem. I’m not actually embarrassed at all, but good lookin’ out!

Now I really want one. I’d name it after my right boob - Samantha.

That sounds like a perfectly respectable name for a cactus to me. Or, you know, a boob.

Walmart probably has them, by the way.

littleflowermarley:

Wait…how do you perform surgery on a cactus?

I didn't want to get into all the gory details, but it had something to do with cutting away rot with a sterilized knife. For someone with no experience-- for example, me-- I’m sure it would also include a handful of spines and a few hours of regret.

diabloroja:

Oh, yay! Don’t worry, knowing I was correct is prize enough. I’m not going to suggest searching online because I’m sure everyone else has said that and that you’ve also already tried it. I can remember to feed myself and my pet rabbit, so there is no room left for remembering to water plants. I’ll do my best! Where should I send them?

Phew. I don’t actually want to think about how much it would cost to ship a live cactus cross-country, sorry. I did, and it was a little fruitless, believe it or not. See, at least you can manage a rabbit, though. I have no actual excuse. Does the rabbit have a name? If you can send them all the way to Los Angeles, absolutely do that. Otherwise I’ll be here, on the internet, wringing my hands.

jakeatmckinley:

I had no idea cacti could explode. But you know, you’re an actor. You have money. If one cactus dies, you can just buy another. 

Me, neither. I take some comfort in knowing that at least I didn’t fuck up that bad. Still, not a famous or rich one yet. And I think it might be a copout to just buy someone a new cactus... Not that that’s at all what I’ll be spending my money on when I actually have money.

[rdymrcdo]

beck-lawson:

That’s sad, I’m sorry you couldn’t find a thing that could make your cactus get better.

Well now I just hope the person you’re cactus-sitting for isn’t too mad that it died. Have you talked to them?

My main objective right now is to not make anything worse.

I haven’t really had the chance to break the news to him yet. Honestly, I doubt that he’ll be too upset with me, but that just makes me feel more like I need to fix it, you know?

[rdymrcdo]

beck-lawson:

I wish I could help but sadly I’m not an expert on cactus treatment, though I’m sure there has to be something on the internet that might help you out? 

What happened to yours, why did it die?

After combing through a few pages, I feel... Well, mostly I feel pretty far from reassured, and pretty sure it’s a lost cause. Thanks, though.

God, I wish I knew. It’s actually not mine, though, so I don’t have its complete history. I thought for sure that cactus-sitting would be as easy as it gets, but clearly I was totally unprepared for this responsibility.

Furry cacti? Can you pet it?

If you’re super careful and only run your finger from top to bottom, absolutely.
