Maxim

I agree 100 percent. Toxic energy... I cut... at the second I feel it. I don't give second chances or forgive anyone or anything in my life, because no one is more important to me than ME. You either respect me or you don't. Period. I've been so emotionally abused my whole life, that I don't have even 1 second left to spare. For example, both my parents are currently blocked, since none respect my boundaries. In the past I used to tolerate this and just... smile through the pain. Now, I just disassociate and forget they even exist. It's that simple. And I don't give explanations why I do it - I just do it. Someone who doesn't respect me, doesn't deserve explanations in return. Silence is an answer. One of the clearest and most direct ones.

I want... (and I'm not demanding... just an observation) to keep the mood happy in here. I mean... life is not that long (it really isn't)... to lose time with negativity. And I've observed that any time I come in here, there is some negativity... people doubting if the show will survive before it has even started and etc. I get all of this... I respect everyone's opinions. But I also want to KEEP being happy. I know it may sound like I'm ignoring the negative and only focusing on the positive, but I do want to keep being excited. And I agree 100 percent with everything that @Errol said. Anything I've found strange or inappropriate... I've reported it. And that's all. We, the members, are still not admins, and never will be, to tell other people what they can and cannot post in here. Period. Of course we can disagree, but know that in the end... we are NOT the authority in this forum. That's why I said days ago that demands and requests of how other people should act, what to post, to not post, what to focus or not focus, are counter-productive. First - they're completely useless, if you are not an authority, and second - people do the exact thing they are asked not to do... the moment you ask them. And wanting to keep it positive... I want to share this clip of the wonderful and talented Tamara Tunie - I am obsessed with finding clips and material with her. And imagining how she's going to play the role of Anita... And yes - I still like her first outfit that we've seen. I think it's iconic.

God... I hope this is true. I want more soaps. ❤️

No.

I got the munchies at 3 in the morning... in an attempt to sober up. What I made - classic sh-t - two slices of bread with salami, mozzarella and tomato.

The internet stopped for like 10 minutes... while I was dancing. Not cute... vodafone... not cute.

When I change to... vodka.

Me after 7 gin and tonics

Me and my husband are 2 new episodes in! The episodes in question were - November 1 and 2 1988. Again two very good episodes. We have the troublemaker Jason Frame trying to control Sharlene and forbid her from working with John. We have the always beautifully-sinister Iris manipulating Donna into spilling all the tea about her enemies. We also saw her gift Daddy and Rachel jewelry! Oh, God, if the only knew what she has planned for them. We also had Vicky desperate to catch Jamie's attention and Marley's equally desperate battle to get pregnant. We saw one very touching scene between the two sisters... one pregnant, but with her priorities wrong, and the other... not able to have what her own sister is currently living through. My husband remarked - And that is one actress that is playing them both! YES. Wow, she's playing them so differently. And he is right. And you know what, I like them both in different ways... and the fact that it's Anne playing both of them... makes it even more special. Overall... happy husband, happy night. 10/10 - I have absolutely no issues, except that these two copies had worse sound, but Thank God for the automated captions! P.S He's started to hum the intro music. I think I'm achieving something here. 🙈 2024-11-19 01-47-24.mp4

And I admire you guys' strength to continue watching! I will keep and eye the topics, even though I don't plan on watching this drivel. 😊

Me after 5 gin and tonics.

I believe that Eric wanted to be with Beth Logan - Brooke's mother. He gave some sort of a cold shoulder to Stephanie (I remember Stephanie talking about this through the years)... and that's why she had that 1 time with Massimo... In a way... she was single for this period when she and Eric were kind of broken up... I think it was on a BOAT where Massimo and Stephanie conceived Ridge. But when Stephanie got pregnant... she thought it definitely had to be Eric and she... pressured him using the baby - Ridge... to choose her and not Beth Logan. In a way... Stephanie was making a very Brooke-move. Which is so iconic. Brooke even said that to Stephanie the first time Stephanie slapped her - You had to get pregnant to take him away from my mother! Then in 2001 when Ridge was badly hurt... and blood transfusion had to be made... The doctors told Stephanie that there is no way Eric can be his father based on the blood types. Someone correct anything I remembered wrong... but I do think I'm right.

Oh my God, that is... just so sweet of you. Actually moments like these... can freaking make me tear up. Because it's so unexpected. Thank you for thinking of me... And again - anyone who is reading this message - I do not want or ask of you to not share spoilers... Absolutely do not demand this. I don't want to be mis-read AGAIN. I don't have time for this. I am just thankful to someone that they had me in mind... Anyone at any time can post as much spoilers they want. I just wanted to say how this person's message made me feel. ❤️

The moment you are born, you have one person to take care of - yourself. That's the most important person in your life. So yes, eat the healthiest food possible, exercise, go on your doctor's appointments to make sure you are healthy... take care of your mental health... and surround yourself ONLY with love, respect and joy. ONLY. TAKE care of the only person who is never going to go away even for a second - yourself. I know it's a cliche... but I'm taking my work break... to remind myself and anyone who is reading what's the most important thing... Nobody else can make us happy, if we can't make ourselves happy.

And this is a type of character I think is desperately needed back in modern-day soaps. We have a crisis of lack of no-wise characters.

When even my dog feels like outside is not that pleasant... then... it's time to keep inside. The first time he wanted a shorter walk! It's sooo freezing and the wind is out of control... at 3 in the morning. What a freezing autumn.
