He's in season 2 but whether he's alive, appearing in flashbacks or a hallucination is being kept mum.

It depends on the person, but I would be extremely grateful. I always sit on an aisle if I can. Movie theatre, live theatre, transit, whatever. Not only for the extra space, but because I'm afraid that if there's some sort of emergency, I will be crushed by a mob so if I'm on an aisle, I have a fighting chance of…

THANK YOU!!!

OMG yes. When I was at my peak weight (about 360 lb.), a woman sat next to me on the subway and then commented to another person that she was being 'crushed alive'. Seriously? You didn't have to sit there! It wasn't even a full train!

I haven't flown for over 10 years and I'm afraid to fly since I'm bigger and seats are smaller. Also, there are all those lovely new security procedures that have been introduced (my last trip was cross-Canada in spring of 2001). I think I'll have to do a lot of research before I fly again.

I'm glad you're comfortable making the drive then. I've only traveled by train a few times and it's been generally very pleasant. Much nicer than a bus. But when I was at uni, the bus was $23 v. $80 for the train one-way. So yeah, I took the bus.

Yes! I'm glad you had a good experience! I always feel awful, not only because I'm often in physical pain squishing myself into a seat, but because I'm infringing on someone else's space. When it works out so that both people have enough space no matter their size, that's perfect.

And theatre seats! Not movie theatre seats but live shows.

That sounds awful. Can you take a train? Trains tend to have larger seats.

Who knows? It's cold and flu season! Maybe she has the sniffles and didn't want to infect everyone. Whatever the reason, I don't blame her for skipping it and I don't think it means they're breaking up. Until there is an official statement or papers filed, I'll reserve my judgement.

I haven't been on an airplane in a decade but as a fat person who uses transit, I just stand unless I get a single seat because people give me death glares if they have to sit next to me. Of course, I have low blood pressure and vertigo so if I do stand, I'm going to likely fall on you. And if I stand people get angry…

I found that movie depressing as a kid so I've never seen it as an adult. But Love, Actually, Elf and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (original, not Jim Carrey version) are my holiday go-tos.

Exactly! Who watches SNL live anymore? You need to DVR that shit so you can fast forward through the boring/terrible sketches.

Exactly!

It would be awful! I could have been a really great singer - I say this in all modesty because I was pretty good and I never practiced and I also have horrible stage fright. But if I'd been famous? Oh god. I'd be a crotchety recluse living on some estate with high walls and shit.

Our Patron Saint!

That's some District 11 level shit right there.

Maybe Jessica likes to curl up on the couch in a Snuggie and eat her night cheese rather than schmooze. It's a valid lifestyle choice!

I KNOW. And my parents are all "we have kramp-ons (those salt-pick things), it's totally cool". But they have 2 sets. And we're a family of 4. So not everyone gets kramp-ons, Mom. Not everyone gets to be secure!

I don't think we have that in Canada? But we got AppleTV so we can rent on iTunes. It's probably on there.
