@AgnesGrep: Both Blogger and Wordpress are easy peasy, with lots of templates and graphics to choose from. You can definitely do it at your own pace. [Tumblr.com] is even easier for blogging.

@picassobear: Sites like [Kickstarter.com] help people crowdsource funding (and no, I'm not affiliated with it), but a lag time of 2 weeks is going to make things tough unless you can rally your online and real-life peeps to chip in fast.

@pileofmonkeys: They do some amazing things with Superglue, these days... And accidents happen to the best of us. Coming from a family where the guilt flows aplenty, I say write your aunt a letter, or take her to brunch, send flowers, etc.—anything that frees you from the guilt...

@pileofmonkeys: I've broken antique things belonging to friends—who later pulled me aside to say, "Thank you for liberating me from that thing!" So...there could be a silver lining that you don't know about!

@Penny: Saying it again (now in logged-in form): Soulard Market. And congratulations. :)

@thenewmrssalazar: I'm grateful: I had eaten all our candy (one bag) by noon. #openthread

@rd2uk: Fortunately, this doesn't happen in the States all that much. If you work like nuts, are generally brilliant, and improve the bottom line, it doesn't matter where you went to school. #openthread

@boobookitteh: You are SO right! #openthread

@KookyMonster: Maybe I'm missing something, but drugs? Really? What would Cleo think? #openthread

@Steve Holt's Mother Part Deux: Nuts to that. Try Couchsurfing. Did you ask them to make reservations for you? If not, then their move seems cheeky (albeit well intended). #nationalcandycornday

@JinxyMcDeath: Italian food—not some Americanized red-sauce version—is actually pretty damn healthy, as are the foods of most Mediterranean cultures...and most non-American cultures. #victoriabeckhambazaar

Be aware that Delia's shipping sucks. And they don't care. And neither does UPS. So long, lovely yellow coat. #delias

@cirocco: Au contraire: [twitter.com] #urbanoutfitters

Dear Honduras,

@Ms Meghan: "Thank you, sponsors, for making me the only pink boat on the seven seas." Let's hope it's a decoy, because I can hear the pirates laughing from here. #jessicawatson

Dear Radar.com,

If even one of these celebs writes his/her own tweets, I'll be shocked.

I can't believe a promo for "The Girls Next Door" is really running on Jezebel. Ads for a show about Playboy models on Gawker? Sure. On Jezebel? No. Time to buy yourselves back from the frat-boy media empire.

My solution to the Gosselin Vortex of Whining and Bad Decisions: send the kids to the Jolie-Pitts'. Send Jon and Kate to the opposite ends of Siberia.

@Ailatan: Rock on. The commission thing was genius!
