Cash, yes. But i would think Lanolin, if you have any, would work as well.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I may have a stray tube of Lansinoh around here somewhere.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cash, AFAIK, that's exactly what BodyGlide is for, so yes.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Happy birthday, Scrappy!

For me: Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 57% Likelihood of you being MALE is 43%.

Apparently my addiction to flickr, woot and the NYT skews me more male!

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

Warning - surgery is involved. No photos of actual elf-ear surgery, but there are pictures after, while the ear is healing.

ION, first-class accommodations on the new Emirates A380 (super-jumbo): [link]

First Class "suites" offer even more privacy, burlwood trim, a large-screen video display, lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of gold-chrome trim, and a retractable personal beverage station...

Yes! Showers! Each of the 14 First Class passengers can enjoy a 5-minute shower in one of two private lounges, each of which looks vaguely like something one might expect to find in a Napa Valley golf club. Two dedicated shower attendants clean and freshen the rooms after each use, and the A380 carries an extra half-ton of water to meet the personal-hygiene needs of its First Class passengers. Very decadent.

I think first-class fare on this plane is around $13,000. Yes, more than a transatlantic flight on a Concord. No showers on Concord, though.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If I had enough money to indulge in $13,000 transatlantic flights based on the onboard showers, I think I'd just get a yacht and conduct urgent business by satellite phone instead.

Well, the $13,000 is for Emirates' Dubai-JFK route, so you're getting more than just a transatlantic flight.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 99%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 1%

Interesting, especially since there was no sanrio.com, zappos.com, or cuteoverload.com, which I visit somewhat frequently and I'm sure would skew female.

The International Space Station is about to get this new water purifier thing. So they'll be able to drink their own urine after purifying it:

"The engineer and scientist in me say, 'Yeah, it's no problem. It's probably purer water than most of what we drink or ever have drunk before,'" Fincke said with a laugh. "On the other hand, it's still kind of funny to know where that water's been. It's a good thing we're a close crew."

Not only that, but they'll be able to produce oxygen to breath from their urine.
