Not only are Gaga's parents adorable, but her mother looks JUST Like her! Hello Grandmother Monster! :D

So sorry about that! Haven't slept in a few days. Can you tell?

Said this further down post, but it bears repeating:

Actually, no, they wouldn't rip the BSA for allowing an out gay scoutmaster—Girl Scouts have allowed lesbian troop leaders for years, and damn if some of the most conservative, hateful people I know still gorge themselves on cookies at this time of year.

Yes, I did! Sorry about that! !!!

Too bad you cannot actually JOIN if you're an out gay man or an atheist—you're especially out of luck if you're an adult gay man or atheist who wants to be a scout leader—that's forbidden by BSA.

That's what happened to Dad. He fell ill on Saturday, didn't go to the doctor until Monday, and by the time he started taking the antibiotics on Tuesday morning, his kidneys were shutting down. He died a few hours later.

My father passed away recently (from a UTI, of all things). In reading his last emails to try and find if there was another cause besides the UTI, I discovered that even though his bloodwork was perfect for the last six months, and even though his arteries were wide and mostly clear, his doctors were VERY concerned…
