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.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
