Thanks for the vote of confidence, Janie, Keith, and Kylie :) You don't know how much I appreciate it. ;)

Kylie, I sorta know how you feel. My middle brother couldn't come to my high school graduation because he had a business trip and his flight was landing (on his way home) right in the middle of graduation. He did, however, come to our trip to Copeland's to eat afterwards.

My sister, on the other hand, was being the spoiled b!tch diva she's always been and didn't come to graduation..or dinner..at ALL! She and my niece live like 5 minutes away from where I was graduating and she wanted to make an hour trip to my house and ride with my mom there because she didn't "want to waste any gas". However, my mom already had the maximum capacity of passengers that her vehicle could hold, so my sister took it as a sign that she wasn't wanted. After graduation, she called to tell me congrats and I asked if she was even coming to eat with us and she replied that she and my niece were riding around. After that, I didn't talk to her for 6 months. And though we're not as close as we used to be when we were kids and though she hurt me more than words can say, she's still my sister..and I still love her...... :huh: for some strange, odd reason.

BTW, my oldest brother and his wife are expecting a little girl in August and we just found out today that my middle brother and his wife are expecting. <<SHE already has a 2 year old son from a previous relationship.

Now..with my sister having a 3 year old girl and both my brothers expecting babies soon, I'm beginning to look at my own life. They all have kids or are gonna have kids, and I'm almsot 20 years old and haven't even lost my virginity yet!!!! :( Talk about despressing!!...

My parents are far more into this graduation thing then I am, so I don't blame my friend for not wanting to come to the ceremony (long, hot and boring, I don't even want to go, LOL) or the dinner afterward (my family is insane). But the party that I'm throwing afterward, complete with a limo, drinks on me, and clubbing on the Hollywood strip, and she won't come? That's the one part of all this that means anything to me, and she's got "other" plans. Ahhh.

Ah, you're still young. Very young, let life come to you, don't force it. As for sex, until a couple of months ago, after my last boyfriend (we haven't been together) I hadn't had sex in almost 4 years. LMAO But that was fine with me, life is about more then that. Just be happy with who you are and what you have now, and let the rest happen as it will. :)

So yesterday I spent all day at the County Courthouse for jury duty - and let me tell you, it was not fun. LOL! I was to report at 12noon to check in with 51 other people who got called in. So we check in and are put into this waiting room, filled out all the necessary questionaires, and we wait.

And wait. We waited about an hour and a half and were told that the attorneys and the judge would be coming to see us in a few minutes and they would be selecting 14 of us to sit on a jury for this criminal case that would start that day. Okay fine, so we wait. And wait. Another hour and a half goes past and we're stilling waiting.

Finally at 3:30pm (now mind you, we can't go anywhere but to the bathroom if we need to), we're getting restless and at this point just want to go home. At 3:30, we are told guess what? We all can go home! The accused has decided to plead guilty to all charges and we are dismissed!

Apparently the accused has been waffling between guilty and not guilty for weeks now, and plead not guilty, which is why we were called in yesterday. But his attorney had made 11 motions at 1:30pm and those had to be dealt with and took the hour and half to get through. And in the end his client plead guilty! LOL! ARGH!

So I sat in a room with 51 people for 3 and 1/2 half hours and did nothing. Apparently the accused heard we were restless and upset for waiting so long, he changed his plea at the last minute. OY VEY!!

Oh, I spent the 4 hours for $13.00. Yeah $9.00 plus they pay for my mileage which is about 17cents a mile. PSSH!! Yeah I didn't have a good day yesterday.

I hope today is better.

Jen, that was a mess. I do hope you have a better day today...

As for me, it's beautiful out here...and today being my day off, I'm going to enjoy it some. Starting next week, I'll be able to start my workout regimen; which I couldn't do when I was being called day in and day out by the retail store. :lol:

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
