ALL: Soap Opera Background Music Thread
Well... it's been awhile since this thread was posted in, and it deserves not to be buried.... so here is my NEW contribution to the youtube Y&R background music library. Here is the full orchestrated version of the Y&R theme that was used in big watershed moments from 73-98. I was SO hoping to hear this when Liz died, but alas, my hopes were dashed in that debacle of a deathbed scene.

I loved George McGovern... the amercian people certainly made one hell of a blunder re-electing tricky Dick, didn't they? And to top it all off, we had to deal with his freaking 55 MPH speed limit for 20 damn years!- The Politics Thread
AMEN! the military budget should be cut in half, and what about the corporations who make enormous profits with military contracts? Why can't the government hire their own people and build their own damn planes... cut out the middle man and save a buttload of money at the same time. The military isn't keeping us free, no country on earth is going to invade our shores, not when a large percentage of civilians are armed and can blow someone's head off before they get on the front porch. These SAME Republicans who bleat about responsible spending want to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to build a wall to keep all the "wetbacks" from coming in. Well, I have news for THEM... the government isn't hiring these illegal aliens, COMPANIES are. Find them... pass legislation, prosecute them, and if they are found guilty, sieze and liquidate all their assets, and use the funds to pay down the debt. If there are no jobs for them, they would stop coming. At the very LEAST, all these right wing pundits need to stop bumping their gums about BS, and do something worthwhile, like investigating, exposing, and organizing boycotts against companies that are hiring illegal aliens.- The Politics Thread
Part of the economic sh!tstorm is the damn NYSE and all these fickle panicky dingbats that trade stocks. Who's ridiculous idea was it to put the economic health of our country in the hands of a bunch of chicken littles?- The Politics Thread
So.... if your car blows it's engine, do you use a credit card to fix your car so can go back and forth to work and earn money? Or do you call your boss and quit your job because you don't have the money to even pull your car out of the ditch? And you want to cut entitlements..... FINE. If you are of retierment age, and you have income of 100,000$ per year or more, then you ONLY get back waht you put in, and nothing more. How does that sound? Social Security is meant to be a safety net, not some damned IRA, like some people seem to think it would be. And it's real nice that you earn enough money to have savings in reserve.... I wonder if you were one paycheck away from living under a bridge and had no health insurance, you'd hold the same opnions on entitlements and government assitance.- What Are You Listening To?

Time for a bit of ROLLER DISCO!!! Brought to you by Whitney's mama:- What Are You Listening To?
That's what is so frustrating to me, so many wonderful songs at ESC placed so low during that period. Joy Fleming certainly had a impressive set of pipes, didn't she? For a long while, it seemed that a song had to sound like what I refer to as "carnival music" to win. Then it got better in 72. But the year before, one of the BEST songs placed last... absolutely CRIMINAL:- What Are You Listening To?
You know what's amazing here.... is that on the chorus of this song, this woman sounds EXACTLY like Taylor Dane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48fjsASZtXk&feature=related- The Doctors Discussion Thread
You know, as many episodes of The Doctors as I sat through as a child... not hardly any of it stuck in my memory. I DO disctinctly remember the Erich Aldrich kidnapping SL, and it was scary as HELL. The only other thing that I remember was Althea being tied to a chair and the room being on fire. I don't remember when that was. For some reason, I remember Y&R really vividly, but not The Doctors, perhaps because I just watched it occasionally and passively and wasn't really INTERESTED in it. As and adult, i'd love to watch it.- What Are You Listening To?

So.... i'm dying to know the going rates in California, how much does your gardener charge you? The thing that pisses me off, is that I've had people every once in a while balk at my price, and tell me it's too much. All of the larger companies in this area charge 50$ a man hour, and they just send out a crew of mexicans to do the work. I charge 20$ a man hour, and I had one guy (who was a consevative republican attorney)go with illegal alien labor rather than pay my rate which was less than every other company in town. That's why nothing ever gets done about the immigration problem, the wealthy don't want to let go of any of their cheap labor. Believe it or not, I rarely work for, and actually AVOID the rich, because in my experience... they have by and large been very cheap, and try to screw you at every turn. I work almost exclusively for middle class soccer moms and their families, and never have trouble with people being cheap or not paying me. Many times they are on a budget, but we always work together for an acceptable solution, they don't try to get something for nothing.... I do my work in "stages", and people like that.- The Politics Thread
I feel that the amercian public has lost it's work ethic because of my own personal experience. When I built my house, I advertized for a worker to dig a trench for 25$ an hour (this was 15 years ago) I couldn't get anyone to do it... so me, my best friend, and my 60 year old mother did it. A 60 year old woman and two queens is what it took to do a job that these tough straight men wouldn't do. And just in everyday life.... I see people not willing to "lower themselves" and get their hands dirty, too lazy to do something by hand, if they can't use machinery to accomplish a task, they don't want to do it. Besides the cheaper wages... that's why Mexicans get hired for alot of stuff, THEIR work ethic is still intact. I come from farmers.... so I come from a long line of people with a work ethic. But there are so many nowadays who don't want to get off their butts. And as far as job growth, when an economy recovers... all past indicators show that job growth is the LAST to respond. Just give it time. I heard talk radio pundits wondering where the recovery was just 3 MONTHS after he took office. Alot of it IS thinly vieled racism, and you won't convince me otherwise. The fact reamins that all of the blame for the illegal immigration problem does NOT lie with the government, after all... the government is not the one hiring these people. Instead, we have conservatives across the country posturing and puffing up their chest, wanting to spend BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to build a wall, that would be completely uneccesary. If when people came over the border.... they would find NO WORK, and not even be able to get their foot in the door, then your problem would be SOLVED. These same conservatives and right wing talk radio hosts need to channel their energy into INVESTIGATING and EXPOSING companies who do this illegal hiring, and publicize, shame, and organize boycotts against them. But as usual, they sit behind their microphones and bump their gums instad of actually doing anything about it.- The Politics Thread
Well.. if we want to point the finger about lack of job creation, let's point that witchiepoo finger right square in the face of the private sector who betray their own country by hiring illegal aliens, and the lazy ass amercian public who has lost it's work ethic.- What Are You Listening To?
