Hi and welcome!
I would have loved to be there too.
Having a bit of an identity crisis catching up on this thread. Lo these many years I thought I was straight but I love veggies (gay), also eat some meat though (straight), wear low shoes (gay), don't drink beer (straight), AT fan (gay), don't smoke (straight), tree hugger (gay), no tatoos (straight). Apparently it all comes down to the fact that I do shave my legs and am therefore straight!
BTW, Canada legalised gay marriage many years ago. Became quite the little industry with folks flying in to get married. Not sure if they stayed for the honeymoon.

Put it this way, hubby thought we were definitely either gonna hit that roo or flip the car...either way he thought we were in deep do do! We pulled up to wait for the blood to come back to our heads...scary stuff.
We drove up closer to her, and for like 20 seconds no one was watching the road, then we hit a car. To make things worse a cop was near by and saw it. So yeah, we all have bad driving stories. Again, I didn't drive.
Some people are just daft...so flat shoes make the lesbian eh? And being a fan of Amanda Tapping makes one a lesbian too...according to my sister in law, who's brother I am married to!
I wear flats for the comfort and safety factor...and heels for when I'm going out...you know, dress up time. I wore heels for the con on Sunday....from 6am til 3am the next day...my feet will never be the same. They hate me! And I don't blame them....I tortured myself. Heels are pretty but boy can they do a lot of damage!
Hi...and welcome to Samanda!
Well not so much as bite as nibble a little!!!
And some like to lick!
I reckon she pretty much does the same as all of us...what can't be done in winter, she makes up for it in the spring.

I'm a midwest girl, i love my protein and my carbs. I wish i liked beer though. so many social situations and the drinks are beer and wine...don't like beer and the only wine i like is the sweet stuff. and it hits me hard. one glass of wine will give me a headache and i can have multiple rums and be fine. tequila does hit me a bit harder, but i seem to be able to handle rum fine

Okay, more Continuum stuff because this was really significant for me. This is the excerpt from the transcript, 5 lines, pretty straightforward:
~Snip~
Thirty seconds of just Sam's reaction (with flash-cuts to Daniel and Cam, but it's really Sam's moment.
I'm tellin' you, this was Brad's homage to Sam/Jack. Samantha (Captain-Major-Lt.Col-Col-Doctor) Carter never answers I don't know.
One of the first things you learn in service is that "I don't know" is an unacceptable answer. You never "don't know," you offer options, theories, or say that you'll find out. But you never say, "I don't know."
And Sam Carter never doesn't know.
Until now.
This was a brilliant, brilliant piece of Amanda Tapping acting. Just brilliant. One last note on AT acting. When the gate closes off leaving them in darkness, she actually gasps out loud. That was surprising, but really great. You can hear it's her.
Wow.

Lesbian stereotypes? Never listen to them. You'd never know my gf or I were lesbians by just looking at us as we don't fit the 'image' of what they perceived we should look like or act like.

Vegan vs. Vegetarian: Totally applaud those who strive to live this way and their many varied reasoning why. It's a life choice and one that I can definitely respect.
Personally, if I was to think about all the films of the slaughter houses, the news of different diseases animals were contracting through differing sources and passing on to humans, I'd never eat meat again. But if you throw into the mix all different quality control issues with fruits/ vegetables as well as seafood, then heck I wouldn't be eating at all.
OT but awesome news!
Spoiler:It's 60F and sunny outside! *boogies out the door*Originally posted by wine_buyer View PostI live in Connecticut where same sex marriage has been legal for over a year now. In fact I celebrated my first year anniversary on February 14 of this year. You would be surprised at some of the reactions I get when Charmaine introduces me as her wife. It's funny because people still expect us to introduce ourselves as "partners".Originally posted by Pol View PostWife/partner
We get that a lot too. We've been together 11 years this year, got "legally" married in 08 during that brief window in California.
potayto, potahto...the world hasn't ended since we said I do. :::shrug::: My partner can pass, but me? Not as easily.
Oh, happy anniversary Bree.

Originally posted by Celandine View PostThere are only five states at the moment where gay marriage is legal (VT, NH, MA, CT and IA) but I still have hope that will change in the future with the state ban on same sex marriage being challenged by activists who say that it violates equal protection guarantees in state constitutions. Voters have stepped up and approved constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, but again activists just shifted their thinking and gone through state legislatures hoping to gain recognition. It's definitely a hard fought battle here in the States and personally, a sad one. Love should not be based on gender.
I have friends who say they are 'married' even though gay marriage is not legal in Indiana. In their eyes, they might as well be though. One friend of mine and her 'wife' even went through IVF and now are the proud parents of a healthy little boy. I know one day they're hoping state bans will be lifted as well.
Sorry for the soap box. I get a bit carried away sometimes on this subject.
Congrats on your one year anniversary too.
Hey, at least you have a special someone.

(EDIT: Oooh...I just re read this...I know what a certain person would say about this but that's not the case either...I'm so smacking myself right now! D'oH! I'm not going there.)
I don't care what orientation one is...I don't judge anyone on who they love or what they wear or eat. If you love someone and you're loved in return, then what's the problem? I don't get it. I've been told I'm naive in that respect but I guess I walk around with rose coloured glasses...I wish the world was perfect and we accepted everyone for who they are...unfortunately it's not. All I can do is hope that one day someone else sees the world through my eyes and maybe, just maybe it will make a small difference.

Originally posted by NZNeep View PostYou know what makes people think I'm a lesbian?
Originally posted by Tittamiire View PostIt annoys me when someone says they're vegetarian, but then eats chicken or fish, but that's mostly because clearly the label of 'vegetarian' is inaccurate and I like accuracy. However, I can understand it because it can be easier to just say, 'I'm vegetarian' rather than explaining what you do or don't eat. I lived with a friend once who followed a Hallal diet, but most people where we were living didn't know what that meant so she just said she was vegetarian because that was easier.
I have no idea...can't understand it myself...
*whisper* (apparently it's the shoes)
I've known a few vegetarians, but only one vegan. And I questioned her thinking at one lunch meeting that we had. She ordered a veggie sandwich and had a fit when it turned out to have cheese on it (which I could understand, with it being dairy), but she had ordered her sandwich on a croissant! Can you say butter? I was confused. I didn't ask her about it, but found it conflicting.
Can vegans eat bread? Bread has eggs.
I find all of it confusing, so I just eat everything. Less thought involved.

I know what you mean re: 'fussy'.
Again, these so called vegetarians do not eat chicken, they do however eat fish or seafood in general. So it's got nothing to with red meat and apparently nothing to with not wanting to have animals suffer for you.

If I had anyone to marry I'd pick Canada....another excuse for a holiday, plus I am collecting 'Remember that time we did _____ in Canada?' stories.

Originally posted by jckfan55 View PostI got home from work in time to see Grace the other day. I hadn't watched it in quite a while. I really loved the interactions with figment Daniel and Teal'c. and I was impressed again by how well AT played injured. I practically felt the headache with her. (((Sam)))
And I loved all the hallucinations as well, it helped make the episode feel a bit more teamy even though she was really on her own. Talking about security with Teal'c, trading scientific theories with Daniel, and Jack telling her not to give up and give saving herself one more try. Though my favorite ones are probably Sam hearing Jacob talk about her mother, and Sam blowing bubbles with Grace and saying that her mom used to sing 'Twinkle, twinkle' to her. I like that in such a situation and so close to death, Sam would be thinking so much about her mom.
