If you leave it there, it stops any workers who may visit your home from asking to use your bathroom. (Or, at least, from actually _using_ it.) ---

No kidding. It’s not like I get paid for my time here, or get anything particularly productive done while surfing. I do get some knowledge sometimes, so I guess it’s not a complete wash… ---

I was explaining this to my cats just yesterday, that they were a waste of my time. As usual, they gave me that look that means, “You’re an idiot”. You must admit, from the perspective of a cat, that that conclusion is not entirely unreasonable as applied to any member of homo sapiens. So don’t take it personal. 😉 ---

They all seem to have those pop top lids nowadays, and claws are better than thumbs when it comes to those. Or, um, so I’ve been informed.
