As usual. The same lesson repeats at this Christmas too. Lesson about people. The ones I helped most and gave most to... this past year, mostly didn't even bother to say Merry Christmas (with exceptions of course). And the ones I never even expected to hear from or the ones I didn't give any special treatment to... called/wrote... wanted to wish me well. 

People I helped start their profession by finding them a job, people who I lend money to after they begged me... and etc... are nowhere to be seen. I haven't yet (the day is not over...) received even one Merry Christmas from some of them. Their ungratefulness is the biggest gift to me... Something that will inspire to make me stop lending a hand and helping people that don't deserve it in the next year. To think twice when I find myself losing my time with their problems and needs. Twink twice before I help them with connections at work.

But there is also one other lesson - you can expect to find love, care and best wishes from people you didn't even notice before. Sometimes people you perceived as long forgotten acquaintances. People you didn't even like. And I believe all this is happening... to open my eyes. When one door closes, another opens. Thank you God for showing me the true nature of people on days like these.

@DRW50 Oh no I did not know danfling had passed away. I’m very saddened to learn that. Despite the quirks I enjoyed his message board back in the day (Anyone know whatever happened to regular poster Tess from there?) and learned a lot, as well from him here at SON over the years. May he rest in peace.

@slick jones I also appreciate the hard work put into those cast and character lists.  The ATWT and GL ones in particular actually helped filled some gaps for myself. A wonderful resource indeed.

The moment... when I don't eat in our freaking apartment, because Elmo (our dog) is sleeping and I know that me eating will disrupt his sleep. I mean... I will start losing weight if I continue thinking of Elmo before myself.

I just don't want to wake that sweet soul and make him beg for food. So... I'll sit here and suffer in hunger. Till he at least goes to the other room and I can the open the chips.

For some reason I am still waking up an hour after coming out of bed. I can't process I'm not sleeping. Must have woken up during some deep sleep moment. I feel like a moody puppy. I still haven't had anything to eat and every noise annoys me.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
