When I want to weigh my cat, I get on the scale, see my weight, then pick up the cat, and weigh myself and the cat together. The difference is the weight of the cat. I’ve never had a cat that will stand still long enough to weigh it alone.
In my neighborhood, put something at the curb the day before trash pick up, and it will be gone before you get back in the house. We had the new washer sitting by the door, while we were getting the old washer out of the house. Someone stopped and was going to take the new one! Fortunately, I saw them, and told them, “Not that one! We’ll bring out the old one in a minute!”. They waited.
I have absolutely no talent for anything artistic. Can’t write stories, sing, paint, draw, or play a musical instrument. I am, however, a great member of the audience. The audience is important. Without it, who would appreciate all the fine work of the artists?
The voices in my head are colluding with my cats to throw me out of the house!
