Thanks :)

Oooo, now I wish I knew to whom you are referring. Sounds like some quality entertainment. :)

Yes! My first thought as well. It should be about protecting the child, not the adult.

I absolutely think that there should be some sort of law in place that enables a healthcare professional to speak to a child without a parent present. The discussion of birth control is so utterly beside the point. A child's health and well-being could depend on their ability to honestly answer some questions —…

Oh yeah, for sure. But when you compare Canada's right wing to America's right wing, there's still a pretty big delta, culturally speaking.

Yeah, "Canada's Texas" in an incredibly relative way.

It's just fashion.* The Catholic priest who co-led our (required to get married in the Church) pre-wedding retreat stated that unequivocally. And believe me, if that conservative gentleman didn't give two hoots what colours a bride chooses for her wedding neither should anyone else. :)

Ha. Well, now you've reframed that in my mind, haven't you?

"When my group was waiting for a table, they gave us snacks and I got a manicure."

Did you make that? Will you come to Canada and make that for me? I will pay $4/slice.*

This is my favourite thread ever. I just learned at least 4 new things! :)

Fiendster: Surprisingly assertive and self-confident even though fat

And she's an absolute joy to watch perform.

"who even by the end of the first scene had started curling up, like startled armadillos, into tight little balls of embarrassment."

Ha, I don't think they are reading enough into. Reading "Rape" on a pennant and thinking that means "Go rape!" is about as surface level as you can get.
