Oh my goodness--Dark_heart, I absolutely LOVE Parenthood but I completely agree with you about the cancer plot line... Every episode leaves me crying but I continue to watch it, not sure why. I'm sorry you can't watch it anymore!

Just a girl: The chewing loudly thing is something I really struggle with too. With me it doesn't even matter if they're chewing open-mouthed, I tend to zone in on whatever chewing sound is happening and it's like it immediately amplifies, no matter how quiet it actually is. It gets to the point that I have to leave the room or else I'll start getting anxious and irritated and panicky. All sorts of noises get to me but the chewing is definitely hard to deal with.
