I’m lactose intolerant too, but some firm cheese a day keeps the doctor away. So long as I avoid the creamy cheeses and ice cream, it’s all good. If I ever stop eating cheddar and manchego and parmesan and aged gouda and everything else, I’m convinced my body will revolt and I’ll no longer be able to partake of the…

I raise you: Kettle Chips brand salt & pepper chips, a sweet, crumbly 10 year old gouda, and a bottle of Bogle Petit Syrah or any of the Dandelion Vineyards Shiraz...

How do you not just have cheese immediately available in your fridge...??? What kind of barbarian are you???

This is the only way to function in the world, you`re doing well grandma!

They do actually have side effects (and they can stop working, or work differently for different people), and the side effects can be quite severe - but the benefits of taking anti-retrovirals far outweigh the risks, so there shouldn`t be any real debate around them. But to say there are no side effects is just as…

Unfortunately my dad was infected in the 80s, but was still alive when AZT and ART started, and still around at the beginning of HAART. Unfortunately the meds didn`t save him (he had other complications that contributed), but I`m completely sure that they mitigated his death, that he died with much more dignity and in…

Exactly - and how is this not a *million* times better than all the god and guns campaign ads out there??

Frankly this is way more appropriate, timely and lightheartedly humorous (while also being entirely accurate), as a campaign ad than the majority of gun-totin`, range-shootin` rah rah America bullshit god and guns campaign ads I`ve seen coming out of the US in years...

I won’t do it! I don’t know anything about her apart from a few roles I’ve seen (and enjoyed) her in, so am happy to bask in ignorance :)

I’d hate to hear that about Rickman too - but I wouldn’t trust Winslet on that one (big Polanski supporter) and I might side-eye Thompson (was a Polanski supporter until people caller her on it, then she apologized and said she had made the effort to learn more about it and changed her stance).

Martin Short has a great reputation, not sure about Steve. Chevy Chase is definitely an asshole (actually told my 8 year old cousin to fuck off - in front of my uncle - when my cousin asked him for an autograph during an intermission at a hockey game).

Same thing happened to my husband as a teen (except he knew the girl who socked him, and who then lectured him about bodily integrity). To his credit, he apologized right away and he’s still embarassed about it twenty years later.

Ha, serves him right. A friend of my mom’s has a version of that story that is both slightly grosser and tamer... She was walking down the street in the late 60s sometime, in a mini skirt, and saw her dad across the street. He appeared to be looking at her so she waved, and waved, and waved, and then noticed where his…

Yup, made me teary on behalf of my long-deceased gay activist dad, who would’ve been chuffed by this gesture, but still wouldn’t have let them off the hook moving forward...

Um. I perceive flaws... it’s only the Trumpnuts that would be amenable to a Canadian invasion,you know the armed, super crazy contingent... so how’re you going to get them to give up Dear Orange Leader in exchange for JTNorth?

I`m not a Trudeau lover by any stretch of the imagination, but that would be a resounding “fuck no!” from me!

I had to stop myself from joining in too! :)

oh my...

Sign me up...?? Kids these days...

That’s a helluva type to have!
