    I can't stand cottage cheese.  H loves it and it makes me want to gag when I see him eating it. 

    Drinking on the other hand...yes, I'd say I enjoy that.  :)

    @buddysmom80 - I can't believe you're STILL reading Gone Girl lol 

    @minskat30 - I really wanted to see Elysium but heard it's not as good as people expect.
