My 1 year old torte is really into her own reflection. I know that most cats don't understand that it's their reflection but I think that she does. She likes to bring a specific toy and stand in front of the mirror, sort of checking herself out. She also seems really aware of my reflection and will look back and forth between me and my reflection.

Does this mean that my cat is really smart? Is she secretly doing psychedelics? Is she having existential angst?

I know someone who told the that he has no heirs. He is using a fiduciary to manage his estate and leaving everything to charity. He lives in a nice condo that I would love to have. Is there a tactful way to offer to buy his condo, and donate to the charity he named, at a reduced rate? It's a HCOL area (NorCal) and it's the only way I'd be able to buy there.

I feel like it's just numbers on a page for him at this point but it would change my life for the better. He's a nice person, I'm a nice person. Is there a way to ask this nicely?

Edit: If it wasn't obvious I meant buy the condo from his estate after he passes.

Newer Minis are saying 10-12K miles. Mine is a 2015 base Cooper with turbo so I think it should be more like every 5-7,500 miles. I do a combo of city and highway driving but no off-roading, towing, or dusty environments.

I'm curious as to what others do.

I took an elderly lady in to get a senior ID. They mistakenly tried to renew her expired driver’s license. I caught it at the time and told them that she cannot drive and we need a senior ID. The appointment proceeded and we took her picture, etc.

I found out that they still ran it through as a driver’s license renewal. Now I’m supposed to call an error line to try to get it corrected. I call every day but they always say that the line is busy and to call back the next business day. It’s holding up her auto registration which also expired.

Is there a way to reach that department via e-mail or snail mail?
