Here’s the story.
Ms. I-wish-I-were-svelte-slim-n-sexy brought home [...]

Usually, I end up being the scapegoat for all the experiments done by you-know-who – and this is how it all started. Fortunately, unlike most of her other experiments (such as Dogster’s) I liked what I saw there. It is simple to use, it’s cool to connect with friends.
