I wrote an article not long ago about settling on a name for the personality disorder that we spend our time here talking about. I suggested using “sociopath” as a general term for exploitative people. Many of us have taken to shortening this term to “spath.”
Well, a Lovefraud reader “Justdreamin” informs us that “spath” is taken. She saw it on a flower pot, and sent us the photos.
It turns out that “spath” is a shortened version of “spathiphyllum,” which is the botanical name for the peace lilly, a common houseplant.
We might have to come up with a new name. If I were a beautiful peace lily, I wouldn’t want to share a name with the nasty predators.
How “Lilly” Got “Peace” From Her Spath
1 – Force into 7″ pot with large gray rock.
2 – Place in direct sunlight.
3 – Have No Contact until Spath turns brown and dry
4 – Dump in compost pile
5 – Dust off hands and walk away
PEACE AT LAST, PEACE AT LAST

Eewwww – it sounds like you lot have a way worse lot of rigamarole than we have here for selling houses! (I’ve got my fingers crossed for you; and my eyes)(my legs are crossed too, but THAT’S only because I have to pee…) x

“I remember my clematis vine’s were just beginning to bloom”
Hens – I managed to kill my clematis and I don’t know what I did wrong – aren’t they supposed to be really hard to kill? Or do they only last a couple of years anyhow? I wanted to get lots of different ones but after my beautiful Montana died, I got a bit skittish about buying anymore…
Eva –
“if i find the plant i’ll give to my Laila. They’re resistant, aren’t they?”
WHO???? Cats or spaths?????? (or both?) : )
Eva, I know, especially if, like me, you’re still being cyberstalked. It cultivates a state of paranoia, which is his aim. But Aussiegirl, who has been through this herself, gave me great advice about that, and I’m going to follow it.
As for your request for a stud who’s not a spath, the committee is carefully reviewing your application 🙂
MiLo –
LOL!!!!! (Your advice will work especially well for the not-so-good-at-gardening amongst us…)

Now what good would a taxidermist have been able to do you (or the bear) after you shot THAT many pellets into him???
Eva –
“I see spaths…”
Is that anything at all like “I see dead people?”… (just wondering…)
Sky –
I’m with you. I’m mostly a nice girl too, but I LIKE what one/joy did with the pushy fake cop dude….. (GO one/joy, GO one/joy, GO one/joy!)
Aussie
I meant the spathiphyllums. Spathi againt my Laila’s claws…
That god shares good luck.
Aussie, by the way, what advice did you give to Claudia against paranoia? I see spaths!
Claudia,
really? What committee? I don’t understand what’s happening. I attract just idiots and spaths, and the few that apparently seem a bit ok get scared of me. Why?
Milo LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!
What FUN thread this is!!!
EB, glad to hear you’re OKAY!!!
LL
Worse, Aussie, is like i see alive shits. It’s very disgusting.
Can not be so many spaths and by-products. I must have some important degree of assholitis.
Eva –
Maybe you could get a job in Customs? They could USE a talent like yours at the airports…
Eva, that was a joke, because whenever I ask for something that’s very hard to get, a friend of mine replies, as a joke: “We have received your request and the committee will carefully review your application.”
Aussie…you’re right, i would be rather efficient with the interviews. I would not miss one spath and i would stop the short dicks from enter the country. We already have many…I’d do it for the general well-being.
Claudia, i was suspecting it. Damn!
