    World War II Veterans

    And here I was thinking you might take an interest in this particular gentleman as he has a Michigan connection, albeit the trip to Washington was a mitigating factor in including him, too. Otherwise, I probably would've passed on posting.

    Personally, I'd like to pay attention to the writing on the wall but, unless I have my contact lenses in or my glasses on, I probably can't read it, anyway.

    Reality TV

    It's unfortunate. Probably put the weight on because he was bullied throughout childhood, assuming his cross-dressing isn't anything new. Turned to food as comfort. Admittedly, first time watching Big Brother 'anything' (UK, U.S., Canada), but actually know one of the U.K. house members, so a good reason to try it out. Noticeable time commitment.
