As suggested in the title, there’s nothing in this OP. And I assume any posts to this thread, if indeed there are any, will be similarly pointless and boring. Complete waste of time. Definitely worth skipping. ---

You should have thrown in a useless poll to boot. How often do you clip your toenails? 1. Daily 2. Weekly 3. Hi … no, I can’t. 4. Monthly 5. Never 6. I have no toes you heartless bastard. 7. Well, I’m an accountant and consequently too boring to be of interest. ---

No, pics would be too exciting. You’ll just have to imagine a cat, sitting there, doing nothing. ---

That’s right - I should have mentioned ME sitting here doing nothing, not my cat. I’m a whole lot less cute. ---

I’m not sure where my cats are at the moment, but the fish are swimming around the aquarium. No drama, no excitement. Just swimming back and forth. ---

Tl:dr: I just reheated my half cup of coffee and drank it. It was pretty good. I used to use half-&-half in it, but I’ve been watching my weight and gave up half-&-half last summer. I suppose I could use 2% milk, but, really, why bother? It wouldn’t be half-&-half. ---
