His Dad is Sheila - that’s the shocking twist We’ve read about?

Characters that Stopped Getting Stories
Lyla Montgomery and Susan Stewart also. Anne Sward and Marie Masters were both wonderful actresses, and Lyla was literally just let go without any hoopla that I remember - it was kind of not a big deal - and with Craig, Margo - and wasn't Katie her daughter? Still on the scene there was little or no mention of their mother.

I think I’ve mentioned- I’m DC and Brett was a local sports anchor. Pretty much everyone here was shocked that he moved on to anything other than local sports. He was terrible and not what you’d expect of a National or global commentator. As for this match I think that sealed another French for either Rafa or Joker. I think Carlos could have beaten them regardless of history. Zverev’s mental game will get him in the end.

If I remember, I've heard Mary Jo Fernandez talk about it a lot. Endometriosis pretty much ended her career. I don't remember the details but I do remember her saying that for years she didn't even know what was wrong, or that they couldn't pinpoint it or something, and that's what it was.

I like houndstooth. I like pink. I am trying to like what Ostapenko is wearing. And I can't.

This is why I really don't blame Wimbledon. I don't know what the answer is, and it might not look good, but they really don't have a choice. In my head I feel the same way about (I'm DC) Ovechkin and the Capitals. I had to get rid of my Ovechkin jerseys - because he was a Putin supporter, and although he can't speak out now (wife and family in Russia) - he wouldn't be doing so anyway. I don't think for 1 second that if he had the chance that he would pull his family and life out of Russia. So he's made his choice, and his money that he makes here goes home to them. Similarly, I would not be able to allow a Russian player right now to take home the cash to their families in Russia - who, even after this is over, will most likely not leave their homeland - whether that's right or wrong - I think Wimbledon did what they had to do. The points, I do not understand or know enough about to comment on that part.

I think I saw Steffy and Liam talking yesterday? They're moving awfully slow - shouldn't Steffy and Liam have slept together by now and Liam gotten her pregnant again?

REPORT: B&B: Star Out!
I guess that means we won't be seeing the Liberty Bibberty commercials again. I guess Liberty must have played along. I had started seeing his commercial again briefly the past month or so. They'd been missing. He must have that in his contract, or they do. No Bibberty while on Bold.

REPORT: B&B: Star Out!
I tuned in on Friday because I read that Sheila would get a visitor in Jail. And the guard acted like it would be really good. Then it was Brooke. Yawn. I had kind of hoped - and tuned in - just to see the reaction when Finn confronted 'Mom' in jail. But I didn't even get that satisfaction. This is a yawner for me.

Must see this. If I looked correctly - Gauff has a big chance here - her quarter got weaker and Azarenka is losing, but lucked out with a suspended match at 3-3 in the second. Although I really think Kanepi is the more dangerous one down there than Mugu would have been, but Gauff is in the better half and has an easier quarter to me. I noticed this weekend the commentators kept emphasizing that 18 is so young, she has plenty of time, etc. etc. - which tells me that they're aware of the underlying growing opinion (which doesn't matter, but you can tell they're aware). I keep saying this is the year for Gauff where we find out - meteoric rise, or will she be a player that wins a couple few GSs when she's older. The whole field seems so open to me that other than Swiatek, so many players have a real chance.

“Anyone in fashion should KNOW —- No white shoes after LABOR DAY. Yet you see them do it allll the time! An example of what sick, depraved people the Forresters are!” Nod to Serial Mom. That reminds me though - on the brief moments I tune in - have I missed fashion shows that happened? I haven’t seen or heard it mentioned on these boards in years maybe. Maybe when the new version of Spectra tanked? Still a shame - I actually liked them and I thought they should have pushed forward with some of that.

I’m high but I meant the part about their last match possibly being in KY. I didn’t know that. If that ends up being the last one.

I only saw clips of it. Easy answer, you set me up. Sheila is a gun-toting Republican. I did see about 10 minutes on Friday 5/20 - the first I've seen in a couple of weeks. Every time I tune in - I guess I get why this might be exciting for new viewers. Maybe? But for those of us who've been around, it's a yawner for me at least. How long would it be until Sheila knows the guards, gets sneaked out, it's really Sheila's even more evil twin in jail, Sheila blackmails a guard because (you know, they should be very afraid of her) - blackmails a guard because she sees them with pot or something. It's a yawner for me because by now, pretty much everyone knows it's something like that. She's Stefano, James Stenbeck, Faison, only maybe worse by now.

Oh my - I'm so glad you posted this! Mugu - Spanish. The Madrid tournament I posted I like the ball girls' shoes....I think Mugu is wearing them! I could not tell during the Madrid tournament what the ball girls' shoes were, but they were plain, black, and I think this is them!

Ever since I first saw him. Serve bot, and if the point actually begins, it's over with him. The one thing I did say about Opelka (similar), but at least you see him win some points if they actually start. I feel like he can actually play Tennis. Not Isner.

Well Plotted Soap Stories
So many people forget the Angel Laing / Daddy Laing incest story also, with Caleb being accused for years of Angel getting pregnant, and it turning out he had blamed Caleb all of those years to get the heat off of himself - it was his (Daddy's) baby -- then with his suicide but to make Caleb look guilty, and Caleb's innocence. You're right. You can pretty much name most stories from Doug Marland and As the World Turns during those years. Almost no clunker of a story. And like you said, even that - was interwoven with a Holden/Angel/Caleb triangle and wound around a ton of other things going on. Guiding Light - the whole triangle of Frank/Eleni/Alan Michael...Alan Michael's ultimate play to have Eleni deported rather than her end up with Frank. Blake, Ross. Blake and Phillip - what a hoot it was when she (as played by Sherri Stringfield) had Phillip committed - because she knew Beth was alive and she convinced everyone he was crazy. The scene of Phillip comin up outta that bed after her was so fabulous...with Blake's appearance at the Country Club at Phillip and Beth's wedding - from the top of the stairs with a Champagne glass, "Yeah - let's hear it for BETH!". I think Nancy Curlee was headwriting with her husband at the time, and also like or hate Reva - but the Reva/Josh/Annie story culminated with them hitting #2 or #3 that Summer....even people who didn't watch GL watched that Summer.

Everyone has been complaining about the scheduling and how the fix was in for Alcarez. Even beyond Zverev’s griping. I mean - I guess? But it would have been an advantage for whoever came from that side. I guess. If you discount he had to beat Nadal and Joker, I guess he had the advantage of being in their half. Lollll

Finally a possible passing of the torch. Thus far it's kind of just been Medvedev that looks like the obvious dominant player who would be next...

Not sure why this didn't go anywhere, but I love this little song by Dolly. And I was thrilled to hear that all the ballots had gone out about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because she wanted herself to be removed from the voting - and she got in anyway. Long time coming. God knows aside from 'I will always love you' a ton of her songs have been redone to death by everyone. Like Jolene, 9 to 5, and others.

The Politics Thread
Yesterday I Googled 'how to leave the U.S.' - how to give up citizenship - best countries. I would never in my life have thought I would do such a thing. But that's how I feel right now. I feel like we are off of our rails, and honestly that it's the end. It's the end of the United States as we knew it. I do not think people in this country really know that history happens every single day. It's not just something you read about or study in history. It's happening RIGHT now. And the history that we're laying has gone so far backward as a society - and people are just letting it happen - that I truly believe it's over. It makes me laugh that the religious zealots - I remember - when Obama was elected they were circulating flyers about the 1000 reasons Obama was the anti-christ. All the crazies. And looked right past Trump like he was some wonderful loving, Godly creature. I am Christian, happen to be Gay, and it astounds me the ignorance of people. For months I thought - if I was younger. If I was younger I'd figure this out and leave. Just in the past few days I thought - why does my age matter? What would being younger do? Dude, look into it - why worry about your age? Get the Hell out. People can say it's an over-reaction if they want. But for me - the feeling in this country, the choosing of guns over life - of calling whatever you want (masks, vaccines) - your personal freedoms that should not be touch - hey, get off my body I ain' takin' no vaccine......but then GOING AFTER WOMEN'S BODIES?! And thinking that's OK?? It's barbaric to me. I don't know what people are looking at - the Republican party is pure EVIL to me and it makes me laugh when I see the garbage of them spewing that Democrats want to destroy the country. You HAVE GOT to be JOKING. They get mad when you say they're all a bunch of Bigots, white supremacists, hateful bunch. Well what does it look like? So I found that Belize, Portugal, and Costa Rica are looking pretty good and I'm going to look further into that.
