Question by Allen: I’m in love with my heterosexual best friend, why can’t he forgive me for having sex with his wife?
Mitch and I have been best friends since middle school. We’re 29 years old now. I’m a closeted bisexual man but I’m slowly but surely coming out of the closet. Mitch has been my best friend for 16 years but the love I felt for him was secretly bigger than that. My entire family loves him because Mitch grew up with an alcoholic mother and a physically abusive father. So, they showed him support and even came to live with us at some point. I have the COOLEST parents in the world. Mitch dated my twin sister for three years, he got her pregnant and they had a girl. Two months later, the girl I was dating at the time gave birth to my son. So, we both became fathers around the same time(age 17). My sister died in a car accident a year after my son and my niece was born. I admit I was always jealous of the fact that my sister was dating my best friend but believe me, I was hurt and devastated when my sister died. So, Mitch and I shared everything together and we became more like “moms” than dads. My parents helped us raise the kids being that my sister died and my son’s mother lost custody of my son when they found marijuana in his system when he was born. We dated girls here and there(I SECRETLY had sex with other guys) but for the most part, it’s always been about ME, MITCH, MY SON and HIS DAUGHTER(MY NIECE).

Question by lisaaanoel: Can you tell me about your personal experiences with Celiac Disease?
I have read a lot of formal information on the internet, so I’m not looking for the “token celiac symptoms.” Instead, I was wondering for those of you who have been diagnosed, if you could tell me your personal experiences with it. I’m interested to know:

-What were your symptoms? Particularly your abdominal pain/discomfort. Where did you typically feel it? Was it constant?What type of pain was it? Did you experience a tightness in your abdomen or a pressure-like pain? Or was it more of a cramping pain?
-How about digestive issues?
-How often did you experience your symptoms?
-What was your diagnosis process like?
-Finally, how long after starting a gluten free diet did your stomach feel better?

Question by g: What’s with the “Why are you fat” questions and stuff like that?
What about “why are you in debt?” or “why are you an alcoholic” or “why are you abusive”, etc…we all have our things…it’s not fair to pick on bigger people just because there weakness shows…what do you think?

Question by meow: Can you help me with my one sentence summary about this article?
Mickey Mantle played his way into the pantheon of baseball bods, and drank his way to the brink of death. So in today’s cynical debate over health-care priorities, Mick’s record drinking would drop him to the bottom of the list for a life-saving transplant. Chilling but ture. He’s over 60 and was an alcoholic for most of his life, a choice that helped make him as sick as he is today. Then there’s his age and hedical condition,which would put his chances at about 60 percent for surviving a liver transplant for five years or more.
The cynics would say Mick is a poor risk indeed. They are wrong.
Such a heartless and politicized point of view has gained strength ever since 1984, when former colorado governor Richard Lamm made the famous declaration that the terminally ill have a “duty to die and get out of the way. Let the others in society, our children, build a reasonable life.”he said. What kind of a reasonable life is it when politicians decide whether it is a good risk to save a human life?
But lamm had more to say on modern technogy, exactly the kind that could save Mickey Mantle. “How many hearts should we give to a smoker…how many liver transplants can we afford to give to an alcoholic,” he asked, implying that one was too many.
In Oregon, Lamm’s legacy lives on in something called the Oregon Health Plan, a “medical rationing” welfare program started in February 1994. The plan prioritizes 565 diseases and their treatments based on how effective the treatments are and how much they cost. Transplants for liver cancer patients are not funded.
Can we trust the politicians to do the right thing for the sickest and poorest among us? In Oregon, the health professionals decide what diseases and treatments go on the list and then a computer determines treatment priorities based on death rates and costs.
But the politicians decide how much money is spent.
No matter what the proponents say, the Oregon system rations people out of care simply by denying them medical services because some politician doesn’t like the survival odds or costs.
Fortunately, Mick won’t have to worry about getting a chance at a liver transplant. Get well, Mick, before the most cynical of the health-care reformers do us all in.

second part if it… Veera: So have you stopped hanging out in bars altogether? Or if youre having a night out with your friends, do you take part in that? Ville: I dont have many friends, and I dont go out. Not hanging out in bars anymore doesnt have to do with me not drinking anymore but with the fact that you cant smoke there anymore. Bars smell bad now and theyre ugh and I dont want to hang there anymore. Itd be fun to go to a corner bar to read the paper or whatever and drink some coffee and smoke, but you cant do that anymore. You can say that I quit drinking because you cant smoke anymore. The two things went hand in hand. Now I just spend time at home where I can smoke. Veera: How have you filled that time? Is it just by reading and hanging at home? Ville: With music, pretty much. Its hard to say how I have filled my time because functional alcoholism is possible. You can do a lot of things while being a little drunk. Veera: What kind of big questions have you been pondering on lately? Ville: Big questions? Smoking laws. The economy of England/the English language. [What he says could be translated either way, and I honestly dont know which one he means. I guess the latter would make more sense.] What else? About how Barack Obama is accused of not having done anything. I have speculated about that on many occasions. Its interesting. If you think that theres a country where there was slavery about 160 years ago It doesnt matter how much he gets done because all the …
