I had three disastrous situations pre-lunch, and post-lunch, it took me five minutes to resolve all of them. Is this proof that my intelligence increases exponentially when you feed me, or just another example of why I shouldn't attempt problem-solving while suffering from low blood sugar?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I am looking online at pink flowering trees that I can buy for my building's garden. trees are expensive.
I'm a fan of crepe myrtles, myself -- some types have pink blossoms.
Though I'm not sure how far north they can thrive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmmm.
I'm still pre-lunch, so I can't help you.

Everyone should give me cookies. It could be the secret to tapping my inner genius.

Cindy, Children's Fairyland is a real place in Oakland, around Lake Merritt. It is (purportedly) the place that inspired Walt Disney to create Disneyland.
They have a lot of Puppet shows there. One of the puppeteers there worked on the movie Lili (starring Leslie Caron) back in 1953.

I went to the doctor this morning.
It was snowing as I left my building.
Snowing.
At least it wasn't sticking.

I saw this headline at yahoo:
England Pleads Guilty to Abuse Charges
And had this momentary confusion about how you could charge an entire country with abuse. . .

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
