Ulrika Jarl said, “I understand why some people might find this a bit yucky, but why not use human waste where possible?”
Ulrika thoughtfully places barf bags near her frame and photo, then uses the barf to make frames in which she displays selfies.

Ok, I know everyone is concerned about their carbon footprint and all, but this brings the idea of recycling to a whole new level. And its a low, disgusting level.

I don't think I'll accept that dinner invitation from her, after all.

Placentia is about 30 miles from LA. I've been there many times, it's a perfectly fine city.
Pss! It's spelled Placentas PB! Big difference, huge!
Oh, never mind!
