It really sucks. But its for the best. Atleast for now.

I'm used to it.

My twin gets a free ride. They pay for all her schooling and spent a lot of money for her to get her masters.

I wanted to go to school two years after high school cuz I wanted time to breathe and they made me pay for everything. Hence, I'm up to my neck in debt.

I've come to accept I've hit bottom. I'm getting help for it. The help they never gave me.

I'm 25 now and I just don't have the patience to put up with the bulls**t.

Shawn, I'm so sorry to hear about you and your parents. *hugs*

I've had issues like that with my mom over a million different things that are way too complicated to get into here, but we were able to have a great relationship before she died. I certainly hope things get better between you and your mom, but reading that makes me think it's much harder than just saying sorry.

I just hopes things are better for ya, Shawn. *more hugs*

If you need anything, PM me.

Shawn you know that I have talked to you a little bit about my problems with my mom, so I can relate to you. The fact that you aren't allowing their reluctance to treat you equally as your sister hold you back is a good thing. It's tough, very tough, especially when you ask for help and they choose not to help. I'm sorry, but choosing to buy a new car is not as important as helping out your child. But I digress....

I <3 you Shawn.

BTW, my uncle came home from Iraq today!! We're all so relieved.

LOL Ridge

It was the same for me, too. I was in this clothing store, and I wasn't supposed to spend any more money after dinner, but I saw all of this stuff, and I HAD to buy it. Then we saw a Sprint store, and the first thing I said in my head was, "I need a Bluetooth!" And I bought one ;)

    • They've added Billy's house. But we don't see 6 or seven sets per episode. Instead it's CL,GCAC,Society and Jazz Lounge everyday and if we're lucky a home or office set. So many characters don't have a home or workplace. And I think they could be clever and use a basic set as an office for different characters. eg hide a window with a bookcase, move a new desk to a different position, new furniture, artwork etc . But I guess that requires a crew and that isn't in the budget.
    • Natalia is back. GH is becoming ff material once again. It's a shame they can't keep up the momentum they had two weeks ago. Lucky is a loser and so is Frank.
    • I wouldn't say Y&R has the smallest budget, nor would I say DAYS has more sets. Y&R has been adding more sets⏤which is great, given their lack of an overnight set crew⏤and they're not the same set re-dressed as something else (like DAYS historically has been doing for years).
    • That’s exactly it. Entire episodes are just two people sitting in a restaurant yammering on about CEO’s or getting coffee in the middle of the night at the always empty Crimson Lights. Where did I say anything that’s wrong?
    • Anita got over being sad and guilty like whiplash. I guess she just needed a Vernon pep talk. Yeah I’m sorry I don’t see the chemistry with nu-Ted and Nicole at all. When Maurice was in the role you could truly feel they loved each other so much and couldn’t keep their hands off each other. I just don’t see this meek at portrayal giving any sort of chemistry. Couldn’t have said it better myself. I wonder how people felt in the 80’s when Drake replaced Wayne as Roman.
    • No question that DAYS has the lowest budget of all the soaps. The only way to overcome that is with good writing, which we are getting on DAYS as of late. More movement? I have to agree. DAYS just feels like it has more energy and actual physical movement among the characters. Scene after scene on Y&R is with two characters sitting at a restaurant table or on a couch having a conversation. It's static -- and it's lazy.
    • JC memoirs Not Young Still Restless she writes negatively about some people. VR memoirs The Women Who Raised Me from what I remember did not really delve into her time on Y&R. VR "novels" Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva and The Young and the Ruthless: Back in the Bubbles its pretty clear who some of the characters are based on.
    • -- I agree that they've taken Leslie's camp as far as they can take it. That works only if there's also a real character there, and we're not seeing that. Every scene with her is game-playing. -- Laura couldn't call IT to have that Notes program straightened out? I get it -- we need to see that Eva is desperately needed, even though she was hired with nothing on her resume that told us she was a tech wiz. But the only person Laura could think of to call was Eva??? -- I would feel more sympathetic to Eva if she didn't continue to cover for her mother, essentially playing both sides. Again, I get it -- we need to see a daughter traumatized by a lifetime of control by her nutjob mother. Still, there's nothing about Leslie that Eva should side with at this point. -- I had to LOL when Anita said she has to call her agent to call off the reunion concert. Huh??? You mean a concert was planned and scheduled even though we haven't heard these three sing a single damn note together?  -- Are we supposed to be taking Anita's side in this Anita vs Sharon battle? Because I'm not there. One day Anita is sad, despondent, and regretful, and the next she's firing back at Sharon and Tracy that "You two are as much to blame as I am."  -- I agree that we need to see the help hired by the wealthy on this show. It's a missed opportunity. -- I continue to like Keith D Robinson as Ted. I think he has more chemistry with Daphnee Duplaix than Maurice Johnson did.
