That was a very nice watch and very nice of you to part with in such a manner. It would have been perfect for me as it has a helium escapement which I do not yet have and certainly don’t need. However I am humble in defeat and congrats to the new owner

 

Many of us should have a gas release valve but sadly it’s involuntary and always at the worst times.

 

Intestinal gas is (predominately) a mix of hydrogen and methane- neither of which are very useful for pressure dives, but BOTH of which are lighter-than-air. If there is some use of a helium escape valve for ballooning, perhaps it would work for the other kind of gas, too.

 

Photos of the draw were hysterical

 

Indeed. I wonder if @sxl2004 trained his cat to pick wadded paper out of bowls, or if that is something he did naturally.

 

Well my daughter had the idea to hide a small toy in the bowl......

 

Your daughter may be amongst the smartest humans on the planet

 

Indeed she is

 

Wow, what great news to wake up to this morning!
I need to thank all cats participating in the event also.

 

Well isn’t that exclusionary!

Harumph!
