Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Anyone have the game "The Smurfs' Village"? It's possible for a child to buy stuff (costing real money) in the game.

Bushels of "Smurfberries" cost parents buckets of cash

NEW YORK — "The Smurfs' Village," a game for the iPhone and other Apple gadgets, was released a month ago and quickly became the highest-grossing application in the iTunes store. Yet it's free to download.

So where does the money come from? Kelly Rummelhart of Gridley, Calif., has part of the answer. Her 4-year-old son was using her iPad to play the game and racked up $66.88 in charges on her credit card without knowing what he was doing.

Rummelhart had no idea that it was possible to buy things — buy them with real money — inside the game. In this case, her son bought one bushel and 11 buckets of "Smurfberries," tokens that speed up gameplay.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My panties fall under: Black, non-black and Derby.

I hope Dylan's tiny fingers are ok! Yikes!

Did anyone know you can make your own chocolate croissants by spreading Nutella onto Pillsbury crescent rolls and baking them?

I got TJ's frozen chocolate croissants to try for Christmas morning. Apparently you let them rise overnight, so I have high hopes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's a gorgeous tattoo.

My panties are categorized as: fancy silk that feel lovely for the first 1.8 seconds and then wedgie me; old; really old; maternity; Mesozoic; thong (exactly one, a bridal shower gift; I can't give it away because nobody will take it, I can't stand to wear it, and I can't bring myself to throw a perfectly good article of clothing away, so there it sits); and new. The new ones are just a very basic 3-pack that I got at Walgreens a few weeks ago, but they're very soft and I like the colors.

The other evening as I was getting undressed for bed, Matilda said, "Mommy, I really like your new underwear! It's so pretty! ... Mommy? Someday, will you show your new underwear to Daddy?"

WHAT. Why did I not know this?

The lotus on my back is not the exact same as the lotuses on my brother's feet, but they're similar, and done by the same tattoo artist, and I love that we have similar tattoos.

I will NEVER get a tattoo on my neck like my dad. Sorry, Dad.

It's pretty good.

I got so much good stuff yesterday during onerous task time, I am doing it again. 2 bills to pay (one late) and a call to make about a bill I should not be receiving.
