No worries, I’ll just grab some toilet paper…

Please help. His name is Wedge – purely coincidental, mind you – and he’s gone ’round the bend:
“Hey, guys! Look in my new tele-ma-scope! We live in Pennsyl-ma-vania, but you can see all the way to Polka-vank-tatum! And that’s where the Paperclip Fairies and Purple live!”
What the hell just went on here, Tara G.?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Sloths loved the rides that took minimal exertion. And for that reason, The Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups were a big hit:
“After this, I want to sink my claws into Mr. Toad and His Wild Ride!”
And while the mini-Sloths were riding away, the adults hit up EPCOT. First stop: Swiss Chard. Hydroponics.
Are you happy now, Stacy?

Watching the full moon set over the snowcovered Olympic Mountains is a rare treat for me. Although I only have to sit up to see the mountains when I wake, I miss for many reasons–like clouds, overcast, me being away from home, or sleeping through it... I was ready this time and was rewarded with cold clear air and morning alpenglo.

In honor of National AIDS Awareness month, we've added a new charitable vgift. For each red ribbon you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine (we'll cover credit card fees). You can read more about IAVI at lj_cares. While we're on the subject, we raised $740 from our November fundraiser for Love Without Boundaries, which supports emergency healthcare and adoption of Chinese orphans. We thank you for helping us help others.

We're back with more incredible pictures from our super-talented LiveJournal photographers. Congratulations to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
