I adore Bridget... every since she's in... brings warmth and this... home feeling. And she has that I'm going to tell you not to make a mistake-vibe of wisdom that I cherish.

I relate to this scene so much, since in a way, I too have never had a mother. I had a monster, but not a mother. And all my life I've gravitated towards women who can be like mother figures to me. Just like Vicky and Bridget. That scene hit me to the core.

Today I got reminded how unexpected the mourning process can be... Youtube just started playing a Kamala Harris rally clip... and soon... I was sobbing. I thought I had moved passed it emotionally, but no... the pain is still there. Still terribly disgusted about what happened. I am disappointed in what a portion (and I say this, because I know a huge part of the people are not THAT) of the American people picked. Years ago I planned and wanted to visit USA, it was a childhood dream of mine inspired by the Hollywood movies of course... now... I hope nobody gets offended... I won't come even if someone pays me. At least in the nearest future.

Lately I've been thinking, how much I want to wake up... and be in a world without wars... In a world that has peace. That's my biggest dream. This world has taken enough... we all need peace... I want people to stop suffering... people to return to their countries... and be happy again. I'm literally tearing up at the thought what's happened to our world in these past few years. And I hope... and pray... that one day... I'll wake up and there will be no wars anywhere.

Me and my husband watched October 27, 28 and 31 - 1988 tonight, while having dinner. It was quite a marathon. These are the episodes in which Iris comes back to Bay City... I'm watching these episodes for the 2nd time and this time it was even more interesting. Couple of weeks ago... this was my first taste of Harding Lemay and let me tell you - what a taste! Compared to the bland, cheapish, melodramatic 1987 episodes, this makes you excited and hooked right then and there. We had Iris coming into the house, greeted by a not very happy Rachel (who can blame her), Iris getting her hooks into Daddy already! We had Iris checking for a new apartment and staring at Michael Hudson like he's a snack. We had Iris tell Daddy she was in fact his daughter! We had Evan reveal to the viewers that Iris was in fact the Chief... And her mischievous laugh that follows. Such bright, dynamic, smart written episodes. Dialogue is realistic, normal people - with an edge, no melodramatic violins every second scene, no useless repeating. Small memorable details all through. Rich, fascinating, important material! Even the scenes that can be considered filler are just... beautiful scenes in which people talk about life, love, family, lost childhood. (I especially loved Vicky's moment about not having a mother - I teared up!) I am now looking at this period and episodes with new eyes, since... well... I endured the 1987 episodes. I am appreciating them even more. Beauty. Substance. Class. Another World. sss_edit.mp4

Lesson learned - Don't' bully anyone. Ever. Agreed!

This topic is fascinating to me... and I'm here reading all the responses... researching things. So fascinating! Maybe the most shocking to me is the Luke and Laura stuff. Truly vile.

We are still watching Classic Bold (mostly because my husbands wants to watch, I'm quite sick of Bold actually)... and just passed the Portofino period and Macy's return. I had forgotten how cringe these episodes were. Macy's return was so pathetic, I'm sorry. Fake... unrealistic... absurd. And the melodrama was laughable. Ugh... At least the fashion show was good! And Brooke was stunning at the end. But I'm already disgusted by where they are going with Ridge and Bridget. I don't know how I'll be able to continue watching. I may look on my phone while my husband watches... till Bridget-Ridge passes... He is not quite bored like I am...

I watched the episodes I had missed last week, just to see if something may change my mind... about stopping watching this drivel... and No. It's unbearable. And at this point... I am pulling the plug. Not worth my time. I don't even plan on making the monthly topics anymore, since I am not interested in this show anymore. I would be glad... if anyone else could do it... Last time I was so disappointed and bored with the show... I didn't watch for years. And I don't think what can bring me in again. Especially now... since BTG is coming on the horizon... and I have my classic Another World... My tolerance for Bradley's drivel has... lowered. I mean... it is quite impossible to watch a Harding Lemay or Donna Swajeski episode of Another World... and then watch 2024 Bold. It's painful. Unbearable. So yes, guys, I'm tuning out! Again... you can find me in the AW topic probably and in the Off-topic section... but I'm done with this show. I will miss the laughter and the joy we used to have roasting the show, but... I'm done. I'm not supporting Bradley Bell by keeping the attention and the clout about his show... alive. I'm tuning out! Happy watching to all who can still manage to watch it... and again... give me a signal if Brooke does something really bad or scandalous!

I feel sleepy and I feel hungry all the time in this cold cold weather. 🤣 And the wind is horrible. I hate German weather so much. If it was not the wind, I would not mind it that much. But going on in this town, where 5 degrees feel like minus 10. No, thank you.

I think that's what I'm going to do. I may try again in a different time, but for now I'll pass. I plan to drag my husband into watching AW with me, so I may have to watch October-December 1988 again with him. It will be a pleasure.
