That would obviously change things, and if that is true the parents were fools to go to Thailand to contract a surrogate. I think my comment still stands for surrogacy contracts in my own country, though.

Thank you for at least trying and making an effort. I suspect you'll get there, and that helps a ton.

I have to go now... but 'twas fun being weird together! We need to do this again some time :P *high five*

We've already arrived there :P

Ah, I thought that when you said "put that away" you were joking that it was me in the ad, and I was "putting the food away" (i.e. eating it).

You won't have a nightmare if you watch the second ad. ;)

It's a guy in the ad. I think the same guy who did the voice-over :P

Oh gods, mayonaise would be horrible.

oh that is easy to get over. The try a bite rule applies to grown ups too (you have to model things for them to be effective after all). They will try things willingly just to watch daddy squirm when it is his turn! Worked with my 10 year-old cousin. She had food aversions due to severe neglect. I used this…

To be fair, you cannot always tell who has a disability or another issue. He might have had joint problems that prevented him from holding a knife firmly enough to reliably cut.

My parents were macrobiotic for years. Then vegetarian. Then pescatarian. Then my dad started eating meat again.

If I want to swallow something wet, slimy, and salty, I generally do not have to pay for the privilege.

I tried to eat a raw oyster once and could not do it. It looked like a small eyebrow in the middle of a giant booger.

Because he's a fucking adult and gets to decide what he does & doesn't eat. He doesn't need anyone's "tolerance".

Maybe it's not for you to understand and it's between them. In other words it's none of your business and you shouldn't be judgemental, period.

Isn't it all just a matter of priority? You obviously hold up the food thing as a high priority, so you would never do such a thing, which is fine. But somebody else may not care about that, and instead their priority might be the types of books the other person reads, or their clothes, or really anything else. To…

Oooooooo. Hold on while I go make some popcorn!

I'm a pro choice Democrat but I feel like your sentiment is disingenuous. Republicans honestly believe that abortions are murdering children. They don't view it in the same light you do. No Republican thinks "Well I agree fetuses aren't children but it just makes me so mad that women want control over their own…
