Up to four now. :fearscream:
You, Sir, are truly blessed.

Wonder how long the cat had been observing your household to decide if you were fit to handle her kittens :)

Your first instinct may be to give them away but I think you should accept this "gift". Everything happens for a reason.

Does that mean the kittens have citzenship of your house?
To be determined. If we hand them back to the neighbors, they will likely kill them outright or through neglect. We’re probably going to take them to a no-kill shelter. There are now five kittens. We think mama is done now.

We are considering asking the neighbors if we can keep mama so we can get her fixed. The neighbors are trash so it could go either way.

Are you anticipating some sort of custody war with the neighbors?

Someone won the $1 BILLION+ Powerball...and it wasn't me.

Doesn't get much more FWP than that.
Lotteries are pretty much a state sponsored scam, IMHO. Still, I play a high Jackpot ever once and a while because YOLO.

Like any gambling, as long as you understand your odds of coming out ahead are basically 0, it's fine.
It's when you think you can beat the house that you lose. With a few exceptions, like when there was a mathematical oversight in the Massachusetts lottery

I sent a group email + group email to text email yesterday evening, that is, a single email with both email recipients and text recipients. The email went right through. The email to text messages took two hours to get through. This seems to be the way of the world.

I'm on a 12h shift at work and forgot my phone at home. My mom was going to go see my cats and text me so I can turn off the alarm. I think she'll only go in afternoon though so I'll get it on my lunch. I might even just go on my break. Could even sneak in a Timmy's run since I'll be late anyway. :p

Power has been out for 3 and a half hours and now they're saying it won't be back until 6 so I guess all our food is gone in the fridge. Power was out for a couple hours yesterday for planned maintenance, supposedly they were doing repairs but that didn't seem to help out today.

Will probably be fine, just avoid opening it.

In America that would be a $1,000 bill for an ambulance ride and another $1,000 bill to visit the emergency room, after insurance.
