When I tuned in last week I posted about this. How many brain tumors is Thomas gonna have?

I tuned in a day or two for a few minutes and couldn’t get by the continuing fight for Ridge, Taylor running around Aspen in the slouchy hat looking like Steffy nearly 10 or 15 years ago in the fight for Liam. I did not understand at this point the fight over Ridge. Both Taylor and Brooke should have dropped it by now - what is the prize in Ridge? And the kids at 30 or 35 years old still pining for their parents’ love lives. Thomas back to being Thomas. How many brain tumors is he going to have?

Oh my. I didn’t see this. I thought - what’s the big deal except put some mustard on it at that short angle, and I’ve wondered why more people don’t just dink a ball away instead of crazy overheads - and it’s a fine play he was just lazy in not putting enough on it to scoot it in - and then bounce wide off the court and……..wait. He used the HANDLE of his racquet?! WTF LOLLLL

This was a great guess....I would not have thunk it. I don't know why, but it never occurred to me!

I might not have been as off base as I thought about the Quiet Quitting. LOL.

A couple of years ago, I figured when Roger retired it would be more along the lines of Monica Seles. And these days it seems to be more of the way of the world. Quiet Retirement. LOL. I wouldn't say Quiet Quitting, but.

So I dunno. I haven't checked in since the day that Deacon had the hot monkey sex with the unknown-but-obviously Sheila. The picture on the main page reminded me. That's just shark-jumping stuff right there. Ridiculous.

I like turtles.

It was….awkward and weird to me. The waiting for packing up thing. And exactly how much stuff do you bring to a match? There were like 25 towels everywhere. I choked when someone said Alcaraz ? One of them? Has new shoes for every set or something??? Ridiculous

I cannot remember if I went to bed or not. I think I did. Woke up, and the match was still going on at 2:15, LOLLL.

And I’m tired of hearing about the roof closing. WTF US Open?! You get rid of the planes - so what…you have to toss this in for disruption because……….what? This is the 4th time I’ve seen this. Just start the match with it closed if there is any chance of rain or pause the match until it’s closed. Why is this difficult???

Shapovalov I’ve never been able to figure out why he didn’t make a small step to just regular appearances in Semis and even finals once in a while. Not able to talk yourself off the ledge, staying in every moment 100%? He seems to have the goods. I do have to say - I guess I’ve been somewhat blind because Kyrgios is so unlikeable to me - but the Medvedev match I finally feel like we were given a clue as to how good Kyrgios can be. Honestly and truly I kind of never watched totally because I can’t stand his jawing and antics. I don’t want him to win but I feel like we were finally shown some semblance of a match where he “heldittogethergirl” moment. That’s what I call them with friends lolll. The holdittogethergirl moments in sports.

This is a song that kind of follows me - I hear it in the most unexpected places. He's a great writer, musician, should be bigger than he is. Gorgeous, nostalgic, and ya can't beat this kind of 60's fabulous pool.

I saw the paint thing start but I had a call to be on as usual. I sighed. Same as the cake fight a few years ago. Whatever fills time I guess.

So this is interesting because I've always felt this way. Ditto with Monica Seles. You won't hear many commentators really talk about Tracy's accomplishments, really - because there were few, probably not enough to talk a lot about. Monica, of course a little more, but you can tell they don't love to talk about it. For Tracy, from all the articles I read and accounts - she was not in the "in" crowd in the locker room, on travel, etc. Well, she couldn't have been. She was 15 to 17 years old. And at the time, she was the only player to REALLY gouge into the Chrissy/Martina dominance. Similar arguments I've heard for Andrea Jaeger but - it's just not there to me for Andrea. She didn't win a slam. But Tracy did, becoming number one in the world. And at first it was a fluke, nothin' to see here folks. But then it was a Year End Championships or two, and then she won the Open again. She ended some players' streaks and I think the former guard realized that the shi* got real. At the time, and still, it's a lot of fans and commentators I've heard that call Tracy "robotic". I have gotten into arguments over this - with who I am 99% sure were Tennis pros on message boards. They assure me that Tracy was nothing but a Robot. To which I've said (and I am the biggest Chrissy fan, no doubt)...but I said - well then, so was Chrissy right? Because Chris said herself it was like staring across the net at herself...she has said it ALL the time. But no, there's a difference you see (don't know what that is)...because for the life of me, their stroke production is so similar it's uncanny. But no, you ask the real Chrissy fans, and there is a huge difference, and you do not know Tennis if you cannot see it. I say they are very similar in play, other than their records and longevity obviously. But at the time, no one had come along to beat both Chris and Martina in the same tournaments. All that aside - I was watching Keys yesterday and you could have knocked me over. I was like Jesus - she's RUNNING! She's BENDING HER KNEES! WHAT? WHY? HOW!??? Who IS THIS PERSON!? I'm sure the real Keys will show up very soon, but it was odd to see her look like she was actually TRYING out there.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how she cannot get it together

What happened to Shauna and Flo? And Why-not finally got weaned from Quinn’s tit?

I know I'm the drolling down trodden drum because of my negativity but - I've said, Sheila can never be killed off, so there's no interest for me there. They've made it so they can never be without her - they need a character to dumb everyone down, and that's what they do every time. To me at least, she literally looked like they do with Clark Kent and Super girl too....they put on a pair of glasses on and no one knows who they are. Although I was tired of Quinn, and I don't really watch often, Rena kind of deserved more than that if she's gone. I'll have to look up today's episode and see what they did at least on that front.

Thank you. In the brief scenes I was reminded a little but - just from those brief scenes I was interested and liked her. Very natural actress.

Who is the character and actress playing with Kirk Anderson in the video just a little up the board - the video that has Royce's trial....has scenes with Kirk and (??? Aunt Mary, baking....and she was deciding whether to sign with Worldwide or not). She looks so familiar and at first I thought....is that Rebecca Hollen who played Trish on GL? But it's not I don't think but she looks so familiar?

Steffy cheated before too?? LOLL. She jumped in bed with Why-not ASAP because Liam didn't return a text. I remember that much about the pre-Adam and Eve thing/bump on the head accident/oops I'm actually off to Australia to see Ivy home in the plane bathroom.

I saw....very happy for Tracy and him. He won't be in for very long though. But it was fun to watch him - plays similar to Tracy. They mentioned once about him not even fist pumping, no expending of extra energy, etc. I didn't hear anyone mention though - Tracy would even switch her racquet to the other hand between points because she didn't even want to grip the racquet or carry it with her hitting hand. Too tempting to clench onto it under stress between points.

Wow, twitter strikes twice. A week or so ago I got a rise outta Spicey. I said, wait who were you? Oh you were one of the White House Secretaries or something for about 5 minutes. Get a life. You worked for an enemy of this country when it comes down to it - btw white sale and end of season tiki torch sale down at Walmart for all of your white supremacist needs. LOLLL.

Good to know I’m not the only one.

I have never paid a lot of attention to the qualifying matches other than seeing what the results are afterward. But - I tuned in to ESPN news and saw the matches are (supposed to be on?)?? I thought we were between matches or sets or something, and I pull it up on my laptop or phone and see....nope, matches are going on. Currently being played. But we have a panel of Chrissy, Alexandra Stevenson (don't get me started), and all the usuals....sitting around TALKING about the qualifying matches and the US Open draw, etc. etc. WHILE MATCHES are GOING ON??? Guys, like....why don't you just throw up the match or matches goin on on the screen, and yammer away with whatever you want. But at least throw it up on the screen??? What the hell? Nope....just people chatting. While the matches are going on. ??? LOLLLL How useless.
