@RaisinGirl.OfficeGirl is posting from the future: Yeah, I really disagree with the coke part of it, but the decreased sugar could have been for a number of factors.

@ground-hog: Totally, it is kind of just heartbreaking at this point. Plus, they have to keep re-visiting it for some reason, because they can't just show them being happy teens (as it would move away from the point of the show). The problem hasn't changed or evolved though, and it is getting tiresome and painful to…

@American as Apple Pie: Yeah, it is very true (they are happy about it but maintain that they are also happy that in Canada abortion was possible at the time, which somehow let them make the decision about it without intervention). At the time you still had to go in front of a panel to have the abortion, but there was…

@OverThatRainbow: Psh, my mom got her tubes tied too...

@LoveBugBecky: Yeah, the expression on her face is this constant "DON'T SCREW THIS UP FOR ME," face that is just magical.

@Myrmaid: I grew up in Ontario.

@emmagine: That makes sense.

@pancakes_4_your_face: This is making my brain cry.

@Kate Tastrophe: No, Toronto. He lived here for a while, although I know the band members live throughout Canada.

@Sarcasmatic: Can you tell me what that means? I don't get this swv.

Aw, I know Brian Borchedt but haven't seen him since I left Canada - this is very fitting.

@Not-Shattered: Precisely - he is making this into a good experience, not only for himself and his family, but the people he is coming into contact with. He's got such a good head on his shoulders.

I like him. I really, really do.
