  I’m a new listener, but had a couple things I thought I’d share post listening to the most recent podcast I downloaded:

  1. I totally agree with you about the size issues on rides at theme parks!  I live in Tampa and have an annual pass to Busch Gardens.  I’m almost 6′ and 250…and definitely wouldn’t say the largest person in my posse.  However, we are always banished to the XL seats at the park.  I have tried to squeeze into the regular seats, but often find them to be so uncomfortable or just can’t get them to lock properly.  The funny thing is that I’ve always been a big kid and never noticed that I don’t fit into seats like that until lately…do you think there’s some conspiracy to squeeze more seats on the rides?  LOL.  But seriously…I can totally relate!

  2. As far as the TV shows mentioned on DVD…I was so sad to hear that none of my favorites were mentioned.  I would like to mention – Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I own the Chosen Collection of the whole series), Dead Like Me (one of the best shows ever!), Wonderfalls (from the same folks who brought us Reaper), and All American Girl (just because I’m gay and obliged to like Margaret Cho).  I own the complete series of all of the above and could watch them over and over.  There are many other series I’d love to own and hopefully will someday, but just had to throw those out there as my favorites in the collection.

  3. I also had some thoughts about the fag hag controversy.  I’ve also had some female friends mention that it’s not a term they particularly like.  I’ve heard lots more lately, like “alternative lifestyle companion” (I just think they were watching Rick and Steve and wishing they were Condi Ling), but it seems to be all over the net as the politically correct version.  One of my friends came up with “Fairy Princess” once as a joke, but it’s stuck with her.  All in all, my suggestion is just to ask what they want to be called and go from there.

  4. Therapy – big fan!  I agree that it is a great way to just get it all out before you decide to take it out on yourself or others!  And I don’t mean injure or mame anyone, but more the whole snapping or just putting one’s self down or whatever.  Always good to know you have someone you can be COMPLETELY honest with…even if you’re paying them to be show concern!

  5. 2009 – SUCKED!  I agree!  I was so glad that 2010 came along…and here’s to hoping that 2010 is better!  I can honestly think of only 1 really positive thing that happened to me in 2009 – but the rest of the year wound up messing it up and I couldn’t even enjoy/appreciate it.  It’s pretty much like discovering a great recipe for something that just sounds so good to eat – but you can’t get the ingredients, the oven is broken, and someone stole your cooking untensils.  At least I can look back and think of that one thing – but here’s to hoping that 2010 is full of the good stuff and makes up for it, as well as I can finally get to make that recipe!

  That’s about it for now.  As a new listener, just wanted to say thanks for a fun show and I look forward to hearing more in the future.  Good luck with it all and happy new year.
