Y&R to air classic episodes
My guide said 1993 so I was confused. I would love to see the David episode where the plastic surgeon carves up his face "killer" or something like that. Or an episode with Brad and his crazy former wife or girlfriend (don't remember which) - the one with the super long hair - Lisa Mansfield???

Y&R to air classic episodes
I had stopped watching around this time because I had started working after college and didn't tape. I think the other day's episode was 1993 also and I'm watching a little bit today and have no idea who some of these people are. The main ones I know, but some of the other people I have no idea.

It was always heavily rumored that Lauralee is why Terry Lester quit.

I clicked by today because I’ve watched some of the classic episodes but this must have been when I really stopped watching. I watched for about 3 minutes and didn’t know a ainglw character

Y&R: Old Articles
Victor is nasty. Always kind of was. When I think about villains you kind of liked? Roger on Guiding Light. He had a nice friendship with Maureen. Victor is terrible and always has been and his accent has gotten so much worse over the years. It's like a cartoon. I know people love Eric Braeden but he needed to stand up for himself and not be a cartoon and and he couldn't do it.

That's too bad because it is KSJ and Drucilla...and I always thought John Abbott was so handsome. Classic scheming Jill, and I totally forgot about Brent Davis. Jill gets preg before John got the vasectomy.

Y&R to air classic episodes
Man this makes me sad at how good the show was compared to now. I'll take reruns all week long. Tuned in today just to see the classic episodes. I would love it if ratings went up on Fridays. I know people love Eric but it's shocking to me how much worse his accent is now than back then. His accent more pronounced as time progresses. His accent now on Y&R is more pronounced than it was on Rat Patrol.

Virginia just closed Schools for the rest of the current School year. Relaxed exam and testing requirements and there's no other way around it...

I'm already so tired of trying to remember not to touch my face. It's impossible. And it's mental...as soon as someone tells you not to do something...like in this instance I feel like my nose or ears or face in general is itching. And because of allergies my nose has been running for the last month as-is. I didn't go out all weekend...and now people are saying what we've been saying. The virus isn't just going to go away - 2 weeks off or closing until mid April....the virus will still be here. The DC metro area had the largest increase yesterday yet. And yes, it's because people weren't being tested so we knew more people had it because of lack of testing, but it's just now really beginning to spread. And the more people that get it and don't follow warnings the more it will spread. I can't even imagine if schools were open in this county. We have 16 large High Schools and countless middle schools and elementary schools.

On another unrelated message board - a pageant board (yes, I do pageant coaching)...someone had the nerve to say - well they've ridden Trump from the beginning and the media hates him and this is just another example. And all the deaths are elderly and people at risk just like the flu so..... I was like my GOD you people have NO Compassion or sense. I'm surprised he hasn't started calling it Obamavirus or that Hillary started it or the media started it. That's how SICK they are. It's just the elderly and people at risk just like the flu and the media is blowing everything out of proportion. Well, hope their families get it is all I can say. They're the same ones going and buying guns and 3 years worth of toilet paper.

I'm in Northern VA (Loudoun County). The Virginia HS League cancelled the remaining basketball championships and just named the 2 finalists in each division co-champions. They're saying even if they return to school (it's been extended to mid April) that all Spring sports will be cancelled.

That story kind of never sounded true. I don't know how you or an agent or coach isn't watching the updated list and I'm sure they're told that it's changed and to make sure you check for updates...or they must list the drugs that were added. And then the whole discussion about a protected ranking. They didn't give Monica jack when she came back. They let her in tournaments if I remember, but not ranked. I know he's had several strokes - has his health been so bad for several years and that's why you don't see him at tournaments? It's been years it seems like.

Friends in my chat group said - you're Gay and so you should be as far Left as you can get...and we're disappointed in you. I said I don't think my gayness should make me as far Left as I can get. I just don't. I'm not Republican and have voted it - Republican - locally once in my life. I do listen to people. If I say something like I don't agree with Bernie or most of his policies - he's making promises he can't deliver - I'll still vote for him because of the SCOTUS...that makes me a bad Democrat? I feel like we are imploding and it's stupid. Oh Gosh - 20 years ago I met a group of people who I became friends with and it turned out they were Log Cabin Republicans. I stopped talking to Republicans then (I think). They're Gay Republicans. It's awful. They don't want you, they don't like you and at the time, they won't even accept your money because it's not as good as the straight Republicans. Then they would officially endorse the Republican candidate. To me, there's so much wrong with that. You hate yourself so much that you want to be accepted by someone you know has acknowledged they hate you? I don't know how to explain it but that's how I felt when I would interact with them. So I stopped. LOL. My best friend and roommate said - you can't reason with them, don't even try. We need to break off with them - they lived a different life and came from money and we didn't. They'll sell their souls for money and will never be authentic.

I'm DC and we're completely killing ourselves. Friends of mine got angry when I said if Berns is the nominee I'll hold my nose and vote for him just because of the Supreme Court. I'm gay but I'm not "Left" enough basically. I just said - I understand - the younger generation thinks they're going to get free college, and bank loans will be taken away - but it's never going to happen. I'm a Democrat, not a Socialist. They're almost as crazy as the far Right. I'll pay taxes for Social Security, and Healthcare and K-12 local schools but I"m not paying for someone else's higher education. I paid for my own. I figured it out. I'm not so far Left as to be Socialist. I had friends coming after me after I went after the Trumpers. They said I was no better than the 45ers because I just said I would hold my nose and vote for Bernie if I had to - but it's not who I want but I would do it because of the Supreme Court. They went rabid on me. Made me very sad because I wondered, are we really that crazy, the way Republicans say we are? I don't think so but why attack me for trying to talk about it and say I don't want Bernie. ALOT of the Bernie people are CRAZY.

You can tell she's got some pudge under there and she will probably do the Monica and play herself into shape. I was shocked with her groundstrokes - the Forehand is still there, you're right. And still some spraying around....the consistency will come and when it does she's not someone I want in my draw if I'm a player.

She really did and you can tell her fitness isn't there yet. Still to have 11 or 12 double faults and Mug had like 7 or 8 aces and still be in the match - I think this comeback will be successful.

It's early but Kim is holding her own...she looks good. Given Garbine has improved recently...Kim isn't serving well and I've never seen The Mug serve better. For the first outing to be able to play with a top player means that Kim will be dangerous if she sticks with this.

I'll end up holding my nose and doing it only because of the Supreme Court. God love Ruth but she should have retired when Obama was President. Now we have a situation where a crazy man could have 3 Supreme Court justices - if something happens to her. And don't even get me started on that since we did without one for almost a year because the Republicans railroaded saying Obama can't put forth a nominee because the election is in November. If something happens to on of the SC justices, just watch the Republicans sing a different canary song and demand that they should get another nominee "right now".

What do you call us kinds of Democrats? I feel exactly the same. I feel like I'm on an Island. And I don't feel guilty either. I think that if Bloomberg goes Independent that's where I'll go and I know it's deadly for us as Democrats. But the Sanders people didn't break for Hillary and I think he's an angry nasty man and will never beat Trump because he's too radical. I honestly don't know what to do - and it won't matter because if he doesn't get the nomination his crazed supporters will be so bitter they won't for the nominee either - so I won't either for him. I'm not voting for paying more taxes so that debts will be relieved - I paid for my college debts. I knew what I was signing when I took on the debt. I'm not bailing other people. I don't even know what kind of Democrat I am now other than that I'm gay and Liberal and for women's rights. And want a balanced Supreme Court which is in danger now. I'm like - how in the hell did I get here?

I'm sick to death of Bernie Sanders - and I'm Democrat and Virginia. I don't know yet who I'm voting for but it won't be him, and if he's the nominee he can go the Route of Hillary Clinton when his supporters were so nasty and didn't vote for her. So I will relish if he gets nominated and doesn't win. I'm Bloomberg all the way now. I need someone who can beat the Orange and Bernie is just not the person. They don't want to hear it but it's true. A bunch of college kids and a little older that think they're going to get their loans deleted and their college education free. And he's suckered them into that. I'm a Democrat, not a Socialist.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
I know GL got bad. But the Newman Ranch and Y&R is bad. It is a living room and so is the Chancellor mansion but I don't think they ever show it. Sharon's cabin - you'd think she was a poor girl living in the mountains. Mariah and Tessa - horrible apartment somewhere in Genoa City. They don't even show Chancellor park anymore. The sets are awful on these shows from what I've seen. Then they are moving to hotels too just like they do when shows are going down. They started years ago with Genoa City Athletic Club, then it's Society, and Phoenix and the coffee shop - Crimson Lights. They're going downhill. They don't even bother with extras.

Unfriended 2 more people last night when they went passive aggressive - and said - when will your party put someone on the ballot who is qualified? LOLLLLLL. I said, we had a person who was an attorney, first lady of a State, first lady of the U.S. for 8 years, Senator of New York, and Secretary of State. And you had - a guy who knows how much money he has and he's never produced his taxes like he said he would, claimed bankruptcy, and did reality TV. That was your candidate and you want to know what our quallies are? *itch please.

Me too. I'm DC so there is NOOOOO turning it off. Politics 24/7 and I swear last night I watched a little and said - foreign countries hacking in again. How do you NOT measure and count votes. But Caucuses are stupid. You show up and run from one group to another? Just VOTE. A bunch of people show up and basically run around and talk to each other and get influenced by people who.......may not be very smart. They've assured us that no one is hacking. But apps suddenly don't work, votes not counted AGAIN. How many years does it take to learn from dangling chads? We've been doing this for awhile now and there's always SOMETHING. It's so ridiculous.

I don't know what that is, but if it's restaurant/food delivery, in the US we have GrubHub and Doordash and other services. I use them all the time. I didn't see Uber Eats commercials during the Australian Open, but I've not seen Doordash or GrubHub commercials here either. We also have InstaCart who delivers from local grocery stores...I have a Wegmans near me that is crazy to go into...it's a wonderful grocery store that has a deli, pastry kitchen, sushi bar, and hot bar with prepared foods...full butcher and seafood, specialty cheeses, olive bar with dolmas and mozzerella/tomatos, full service grocery store and even some small appliances. I use InstaCart whenever I'm lazy.
