    The lawyer told me I wasn't responsible for my husband's debts AND I didn't need a lawyer to establish a full estate. I can do a summary through the clerk of court. Such good news!

    So, I lost my cat Zoe three years ago Christmas and just recently started the process of looking for a new cat.

    Monday, my brother called me to tell me that my sister in law's co-worker's cat had a litter of kittens - they had taken one, and there was one left, a male, and he asked if I was interested.

    I said 'Yes', and arranged to pick him up Friday.
    Today, my brother called to say that the cat had been sold.

    It just so happened that the regional sales representative for the store was visiting and overheard my conversation with my brother.

    She told me that the manager of another store she had just visited had a cat who just gave birth to kittens.

    She texted her and the manager replied that there were two kittens left, a male and female, and that they came as a pair.

    So instead of one kitten, I'm getting two.

    Hmmmmm I got cake, no seriously I got cake. I was ordering my usual hot chocolate in a take away cup and they were resetting all the displays on the counter with new food and they had this cake that they had to throw in the bin that was perfectly good but had to make room for new ones anyway I got a slice of cake for free.

    The throwing perfectly good food in the bin thing did tick me off a little though.

    Bought some ears of corn the other week. Turned out to be an underwhelming purchase. However, the one I ate today was actually good.

    My next door neighbor came over and fixed my lawn mower today. He wouldn't accept any money, either.

    I really don't have anything against Benson as a character but I admit I wish she'd stop hanging around Organized Crime. That's Elliot's show. Leave her out of it! SVU is her thing, OC is Elliot's. Why is it so hard for NBC to keep that shit separate? :lol:

    Yep. Surprisingly. It's a mixed bag, episode wise though. Just saw a serial killer ep that seemed half baked. The cinematography, acting and pacing were good.

    The ep from the week before was better. It had an early seasons SVU vibe to it that continued to OC. Loved it. Missed the humor and the more human characters.

    Lmao... well you have to talk to the actors about that one. They're doing the story that they want to tell. Which in itself is amusing, since 15 years ago, everyone was strongly against it. I'm thinking due to SVU seeming to be nearer to end run. The main actor can only continue to be on it for so long.

    When I was a kid I LOVED Benson as a character. I didn't even know he spun off from Soap until I was an adult.

    Was really tired and fell asleep during the middle of the day. When that happens I'm messed up for the rest of the night. Didn't happen this time.

    Hey @JirinPanthosa where did you get your username from? It sounds like something out of the Dishonored universe

    Character in a webcomic I used to draw.

    Bastard 4th son of the Emperor of the galactic empire who ran away when his older sister was assassinated cause he wanted no part of being used to control the throne.

    Oh that's really cool. Was the comic well known?
