I am also scared of snakes and would have a hard time living there bc I would be worried that there are more. My boss told me that he regularly sees a snake near the front door of the office a few months ago and I wish he never mentioned anything bc I never saw it. After that, I was very mindful of the snake when I went in and out of hte door and made sure I did it quickly bc I never wanted to see it. Thankfully I never did. Ignorance is bliss

Oh wow Cheap, I so feel your pain, lol, I can totally imagine myself in your shoes! I don't know what the hell was going on, but a few summers ago all of these black snakes were popping up in our neighborhood. My dad came home one night and said, "I hate to get anyone upset, but when I was coming up the walk, I saw about a four foot black snake slither down a hole." Then one afternoon my mom came home, and a smaller one was wrapped around the shutter by our front door (!!!!!!!!!!!!!). No offense to ma, but I am so glad that wasn't me who saw that because I probably would have moved in with my aunt. One morning, I was leaving for work and I saw one in my peripheral vision by the flowers when I stepped out the front door, and do you know I didn't even have the courage to look at it dead on and I booked it to my car!

My friend sent me a news story about a town that is infested with garter snakes, they are just in every nook and cranny of people's homes. Garter snakes give off a musk and the problem is so bad that the drinking water (Lord, I can literally feel the hair on my head standing up as I type this) has taken on the nasty taste of the snakes. *faints*

I have only had one encounter with a snake in my life thus far. I was pulling into work and there was a huge black snake chillin right in front of the door to the building. I promptly called in and informed them that I was NOT getting out of my car until that [!@#$%^&*] was taken care of. Well, no one wanted to take care of it for me so I took a sick day and headed home to drown my sorrows in a bottle of Grey Goose.

Ever hear horror stories of people finding them in their toilet? I remember I heard that for the first time when I was a kid and ALWAYS checked out the toilet before i did my business and made sure the seat was down and the door was closed when I was done ofr at least a few weeks before the hysteria died down

LOL, honestly, that was a legitimate fear of mine when I had my apartment in Manhattan. I could just imagine somebody having a snake(s) in the building and it getting in the pipes. The worst that ever happened though was a mouse ran across my roommate's girlfriend's feet when she was peeing. :lol: I am extremely paranoid about snakes and when we had that problem I was talking about upthread, I put a towel under my door at night. ph34r.png

Oh my god thanks Cheap, now I'll never take a shitt in peace again. My paranoia is overtaking my life.

The other night I had a nightmare about snakes, and I woke up literally crying. I had to go shower, then I stripped all of the sheets off my bed in a panic looking for snakes.

It's literally a huge fear for me.

Hahaha, Miss Juana is cracking me up! I'll spare AMD@GH the video of the big ass spider with a million baby spiders on her back.

I'm actually more creeped out by little snakes than big old boa constrictors or whatever, but my grandma almost gave me a heart attack when she sent me the forward of that huge ass python that was eating sheep in Australia and finally got caught on the electric fence. If you are brave enough, go to snopes.com or just google "snake electric fence".

I have more close encounters with snake stories but I am seriously freaking myself out right now, lol, I feel like I'm gonna attract snake karma. I just thank Gawd for peripheral vision, the determination to not be like Lot's wife and look back, and two fully functioning legs.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
