Thanks!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Buffistas may appreciate this:
Emmett gave Matilda some new Friends Legos for her birthday and they're sitting on the floor putting it together and periodically they're both singing, "Evil Troy and Evil Abed."
Aww, too cute!
She is now excitedly digging into her new Monster High doll (Clawdeen Wolf, her favorite) and we're listening to songs from Phineas and Ferb and the Muppets and "Shiny Happy Monsters" (REM on Sesame Street).
North Beach Pizza has been consumed! Cake awaits.
Then there is this awesome permanent body mod, or rather remod : [link] (Woman had replacement ear constructed and 'grown' in her arm!)
Whitefonting for potential squick issues: my ex lost a thumb in a car accident, and they replaced it using one of his big toes. While it was healing, his new thumb (already attached to his hand) was sewn into his hip to get lots of rich blood from the artery there. You can't tell unless you look closely (although the missing toe is obvious in sandals or bare feet). He doesn't have full feeling in that thumb, but it's still pretty damn cool. Because missing a thumb is no fun, he tried going without for a year before getting the surgery.
Wait, so his thumb, while attached to his hand, was sewn into his hip?
Also, I'd have serious balance issues lacking that toe. My other toes are little weaklings, big toe does a lot of work. And it'd look funny elsewhere.
Yay! Happy birthday Matilda!
You have got to look at this temporary body mod:
People are so fucking weird.
I assume it's novelty for novelty's sake? But I guess I'm kinda judgey. I understand wanting to embrace an aesthetic that isn't traditional beauty, but usually I can see the beauty in it.
Docs really don't worry too much about keeping toes functional. I have two toes that don't bend and that does have an effect on how I push off when walking.
Woo too too! My sister is going to submit some of the pics I took for the magazine special her friend is going on the villa. Taken with my tablet, to boot! Take that, Canon and Nikon and SLRs and stuff!
(Well, let's see if they accept them...)
