ABC, Y&R and B&B

DAYS....off and on (though I've watched since I was a kid)

ATWT and GL I quit due to the writing and the way actors were being treated.

Wow... You watch them all!

Wow... You watch them all!

At one point I watched all 9 soaps. Thank god that's over.

Im with ya ryan, at one point i was watching 10 daytime soaps and aw reruns.

Talking with Josh made me really think about stuff like that, and I dunno..... To those who I have that with, I appreciate it. Those are healthy friendships I wish to keep. We've all got those unhealthy friendships (both online and offline) and I recommend you break ties. It needs to be done. There are some I wish I would have just handled as soon as I felt there were issues instead of holding it in and ignoring people for a while. Had those issues been talked out, things would probably be different today (same resolution, just less drama).

Sounds like you need to talk or.. punch and delete. In my experience it's better to just let it die and move on. "CLOSURE" is overrated and is usually a selfish pursuit, better reserved to former best friends, family, and spouses. Life moves and we need to move with it. So often I've encountered people who feel they need to see a friend and end it, a friend who barely remembers them. Online it's even less of a chore.

Every thinking person has "ugh, how did I do that?" moments and they haunt us. That's what keeps us in check and makes us better people.

I had a certain friend on here (you know who you are) that made friends with me almost immediately after my arrival. Some things went down and we were both unhappy with the other, but instead of talking to one another about the issue at hand, we avoided one another and said some hurtful things behind each others' backs. But once we jotted down our feelings on AIM, we both realized what great friends we were and decided to put away those negative feelings and apologized to one another. Now, even though we rarely talk, we occasionally see each other on AIM and just....talk. And it's good to know that those feelings of animosity are in the past, buried if you will, and we both are there for one another. I'm so lucky to have a friend like him.

^^The feeling's mutual, kiddo.

You guys make me miss hubby that much more. I'm feeling all mushy and gushy inside. And he's out of town giving his (ahem this is where I say what I really think) sister another loan.

I am having a great night!!

Gotta say I had one of the best conversation I have ever had with this guy. We have chatted a lot but yesterday was so different. I really see him in a new light. He is becoming very special to me.

That's great, Ron!

Sweet Vee Vee used to be the engine of this thread. I miss her.

I do miss Venus, too. I remember old days when she, Ryan, Scotty, Kenny, and I would all post about everything and nothing. And it was great. We would talk into the wee hours of the morning.

Now, it feels like this thread has pretty much been abandoned.
