So, some of you may be aware of the fact that being given flowers is not a happy thing for me. They die. Quickly. Hello, what's with giving people dead things as gifts?! (except if it's food...)

Delightful link along these lines, here. Credit to ladytabitha for finding it. :)

Why not a fake Xmas tree? Or one that's small enough to keep around all the time, in a pot?

Yeah, I've suggested such things; I've dated traditionally minded people (at least in this particular regard) who really enjoy their annual tree sacrifice.

Hrmmm... I guess this should be a question that I ask potential partners from here on out.

"Live Christmas trees only, eh? Yeah, I don't think this is going to work out."

Heh. Who knew that differences in Christmas tree tastes were the real reason that my past relationships didn't work out? Certainly not me.

"Live Christmas trees only, eh? Yeah, I don't think this is going to work out."

You could always claim allergy... ;)

Yeah, but I'd rather claim that "The trees spoke to me; cutting them down makes them sad." I'm absolutely certain that this method will screen out the "women I shouldn't be dating" (read: sane) from the good ones.

Heh! Yes, that works too. I was thinking along the lines of allergy to killing trees, but hey. ;)
