OK,Now!

My nieces were homeschooled. The oldest one went to college and graduated summa cum laude and is going for her masters degree.

It is not fair to lump all homeschoolers in to one group.

It depends on the homeschooler. My sister was very serious about their education. That plus all the clubs and groups they were involved in they got a good education.

That being said,Kirk I understand where you were coming from and what you meant! :)

No offense is taken!

I think I'll be able to get another job, pretty easily. It probably won't pay as much, and I'll probably hate it... but if it pays the bills, you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

I saw it coming, though. There used to be 96 people in my working department (Gima Packaging). Then they laid off half of them. After that, they laid off another half. Now, after this layoff (including my own), there's a total of six workers. Six. That's not enough people to run even two production lines. And because the factory is likely to shut down very soon, it's pretty doubtful that any of us will be called back -- and if so, it certainly won't be for a longterm stay.

Andre! Always a bright spot in my day... you need to post more often, damn you!

When they told me that I wouldn't be working from Wednesday - Monday, I pretty much knew it was coming... they just had to wait until today when the big bossman came back from his vacation to give me an official layoff. So, at least I wasn't blindsided, because the writing was very much on the wall. Work was sort of becoming like "Survivor." Who will be voted off... who will get to stay? Apparently, my torch has burned out, LoL

Alright gals and guyettes, I'm gonna hop in the shower. While I'm in there, I want you to all think of my hot, naked, wet body...

Once I've showered, I'll come back to read all your horny fantasies... then I'm off for the evening.

    • I don't like it, but… Roman originally died falling off a cliff, while fighting Stefano.  That's completely beyond the limits of today's production, but I think the Orpheus tangent paid homage to that idea.  And, as we've discussed, it would be difficult to determine who John's ultimate mortal enemy would be, that is still alive.  It is arguably is not Orpheus, whose been more of a pain to Marlena. I object to it not happening off-screen.  I can think of a dozen ways that Marlena could be watching a live stream, and we see it from her POV. Or, Shane has to tell the family that he died in the line of service.  Or, Andrew has to tell the family that John died saving him, and he feels guilty. What I don't like is the tacky visual of watching not-John in danger, and presumedly watching people say goodbye to not-John.   
    • We will agree to disagree on this.  He would go see Marlena first, explain he has to help Bo, and then go meet Steve, Shawn, Hope, etc.  I know that realistically isn't possible, but John would never keep Marlena hanging like that IMO.  She's always been the most important person to him. There were also MULTIPLE people working on the Bo situation.  John could have taken 1/2 hour to see Marlena especially when she was obviously so worried about him.
    • I disagree. I think John would do the right thing and help Bo first if Bo's life were in danger, and that his family would love him for being true to those ideals.  To me, that's just who John is.
    • His father, Sir William McMahon, served as the 20th Prime Minister of Australia from 1971 to 1972
    • Yes.  I am not capable of telling you what my perfect ending would be for John, but I think it would involve being a hero and taking out Orpheus or even a now alive Stefano or something.  But then they would win.  Idk, it just an impossible circumstance for the writers.  There is no way the John we know would just immediately go help Bo before going to see his family.    I had a similar feeling when John was killed off in a "random" car accident years ago, but that obviously wasn't permanent. 
    • When I double-checked with the publicist last night about this, she immediately got Jamey to issue the correction that he posted less than 20 minutes after I contacted her. Drake did not do any new voiceover work for this storyline. Any Drake stuff you hear is flashback audio.
    • Watching the Netflix series The Residence and did not recognize Julian McMahon (Ian Rain on Another World) as the Australian Prime Minister until I looked him up.
    • I just watched yesterday's episode and I liked it!  I didn't think the ATWT reference was cheesy, I really loved it. This was actually the first episode where I enjoyed June, so that's a plus haha.
    • Everything happened too fast with Doug III/Ari. The script literally went from Point A to Point Z in one scene. We should’ve seen Point B, C, D, etc.  I mean, there’s nothing wrong with John dying as a hero to save Bo. It’s just that everything surrounding it seemed to be a problem. John disappearing/Orpheus and the bomb turning out to be nothing, fighting with some random U/5 junkie to get the drug, John getting back to Salem and not seeing Marlena and his family, etc. John Black getting taken out by some random junkie? 
    • Agreed, Gail was Monica's mentor, but they didn't have a legally binding relationship. For the record, Gail also had the tightest perm in daytime.
