Dating is complicated.

Try marriage.

Thinking half the people on Craigslist are a couple beers short of a six pack.

Half of them want you to come down $10-20 on the price before they even see the item, and then they want you to "meet them" or deliver the damn thing.

^At first I really thought that was all one post and was wretchedly confused.

Probability is a funny thing! In a lottery like ours, the odds of a specific person winning are the 14/15 million odd to 1 against, for each set of numbers. Yet, if 60 odd million such sets are sold, the odds somebody will win are (obviously) about 3 to 1 in favor! Hmmmm.

You're right.  If enough people buy tickets, then it's unlikely that nobody would win, but it's still unlikely for one specific ticket holder to win.

Um? I know I'm right, without needing to check on a calculator, thank

14/15 million to 1 against, Callaway! (Can't be bothered calculating the exact odds, feel free to do so but it's simple probability theory, GCSE level.) 6! in a scientific calculator (6x5x4x3x2x1)
And the other is just the 60 odd million divided by that, still pretty simple.... Besides, my asshole hurts!

I'm thinking about how to put my cat on a diet without her noticing.

 Does she eat anything besides cat food, any table scraps? 

Wet cat food twice a day plus dry...maybe she needs something extra and trying to get it, I don't know, but she's a chronic case of 'I want food' or 'I want play' or 'I want to be picked up' when she isn't sleeping. I give them a grass gel supplement and multivitamins too.

There are toys where you can hide the dry food in. The cat will play, while eating, and will have to exercise to get her food. Seems to work really well. I don't know anyone having a ball like that for a cat, but, I do know someone who uses it for her dog, and is very pleased with the results.

That sounds like a good idea. She's constantly nagging to play so that might work. She's a chronic pain in the butt but I love her anyway.

That seems to be going around

Yes, some cats are like that. One of mine is too. Not that he eats that much, but, in the night he even may wake me, to get me to escort him to an already filled food-tray.   
He makes up for that, by warming my feet.

Yes, very spoiled but worth every bit.
