The People's Choice Awards are on TV tonight.

While admittedly they were always the lowest rent awards show; does anyone else remember when they had soap opera categories and Julia Roberts made a point of saying that she was a fan of DAYS?

This year they'll award :Social Star of the Year, Beauty Influencer of the Year, Social Celebrity of the Year, and Animal Star of the Year.  One doubts that more than 1% of the people would choose these winners, let alone recognize them if they walked into a supermarket.

The Ny Post has an "exclusive" about the breakup of Presley Gerber (son of Cindy Crawford) and Lexi Wood (daughter of nobody famous).

The post knows that these two wacky kids broke up because Lexi posted on Instagram “She could have anyone in the world, but she still chose you every time. All you are now is a crease in her past, a scar on her chest, a memory that fades faster than a photograph of you in a sealed box, hidden.”

My question is, (given that she's an Instagram model - a career that seems to only exist in tabloids), does she really keep photos in a box?  Why not keep them in cloud storage, or even a usb key?

And why do young people caption their Instagram as if they are submitting a proposal to write Hallmark cards?  I blame teachers who decorate their classrooms with those inspirational posters from the mall, rather than actual art.

Memes are so often attributed incorrectly that I had thought the quote about words becoming destiny was written by Ralph Waldo Emerson.  But, here's an interesting read on the etymology of the quote @slick jones

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/01/10/watch-your-thoughts/

In conclusion, based on current evidence it is reasonable to attribute the words of the modern saying to Frank Outlaw; however, QI has not yet located direct confirmation in the form of a book or interview with remarks by Outlaw. Also, the expression probably evolved over a long period of time from precursors such as the 1885 cite and the 1897 cite that shared multiple attributes. Ascriptions to other figures such as Emerson or the Buddha have no known substantive support at this time.

Yep. At times, I feel people should often do a critical self-examination on their own part instead of coming across as sanctimonious. I'm a f*ckin' clown and I don't give two sh*ts what you think. Bitches ain't payin' my bills or taxes up in here. No ma'am, no sir. Not on my watch they ain't. Nuh-uh. Nope. Nada. Zilch. Boom. Peace.

So, I just got off the phone with my personal injury attorney. I am so glad that he has experience in other areas of law. He sent me a draft of the lawsuit that I'm bringing against the real estate company/owner as well as the condo owner for my injuries that happened earlier this year. My life is an open book, so I don't feel I'm sharing too much information, but it is healthy to talk about it. In the lawsuit draft, I was shocked at the amount of money, and my jaw dropped to the floor as I have no expertise in this kind of thing. I've never had to "endure" such an injury this badly. It left me traumatized to the point that I'm talking with a therapist. Hell, even talking with physical therapists helps me. Lastly, I'm very appreciative of this message board because instead of wallowing in hopelessness or despair, it gave and still gives me comfort as the old Noel is starting to resurface again. Not instantly, but in small doses, as being snarky has been a part of me since seven years of age. This message board has helped me to heal. So ... Toups ... Errol ... if you ever read this post, thank you. I'm not going to tag you guys but thank you. No, I'm not a whack a doo. I'm sure some here don't care for me and that's fine. I wasn't born on this earth to appease to anyone, but this a part of the package that people get to have, lol! Surprise!

 I'm just joshin'. 

What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, the rough draft of the lawsuit. Yeah, I was floored at the money amounts. My attorney asked if the compensation was fair, and I told him that I trusted his instinct and that's all in his hands. I don't want to know until I'm served with the papers by some dude who wants to act all Mr. Barney bad ass. Yeah, Mr. Tough Guy. But for me, I can't place money value on life. How much is life? What is it worth? It just feels weird to be asked that, you know? So yeah, I told him I trusted him, but I also asked him to examine all facets that these imbeciles have stripped away from me and to ensure they will never do this to anyone ever again. In all honesty, it's just a sad and unfortunate situation which could have easily been prevented. However, not taking responsibility and accountability pisses me off even more.

Which leaves me back to my daily thought: In monetary value, how much is life worth?

    • If the shooter is Arnold, I am not going to be happy. Agreed.  Again, I really like the pace of the mystery. RonC always wrote a shocking crime, then it would be solved only through exposition at the end.  I feel like the audience is being shown some respect by them carefully closing all the loopholes.  For example, having Shawn-D call Rafe to turn in his gun was a clever device to get Gabi to confess. As much as I agree with @carolineg about the odd shift in Sophia's character, this plot is starting to make me angry.  A woman is denied an abortion and forced to raise a child?  It is gross.  The stomach pains are a hopeful foreshadowing.  But, if she fakes pregnancy, or hides his miscarriage, I am going to scream!!! Roman continues to be a mench, but I have to admit that I can never keep track of the difference between Max and Benjy.  I guess it helps that Benjy is dead.  Are Max and Benjy still related to Carly?
    • If Sally Field had been more generous about the writing I would say that her assessment is really very fair. I found Soapdish very funny. The cast is great. Delirious with John Candy and Mariel Hemingway (and Emma Samms!) came out the same year and I had expected to prefer Delirious, but Soapdish is one that I can watch repeatedly.
    • I love SOAPDISH but I think TOOTSIE is better. Generally I am quite fond of gender-benders. VICTOR, VICTORIA, most favorite. 
    • On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo.  But, on GL, an older GA/Philip is having sex with Olivia in a hotel room where Bruce Barry was directing & he & she both end up down to nothing but black underwear & at one point his bicep is covering her entire upper body so it appears that she is naked. I think they ended up on the floor between the bed & the wall. That was when I realized that Grant's body was better than Steve Burton's. (Olivia was cheating. Her husband Alan was in the hospital.) It is notable that I can speak with any insight AT ALL about these bodies since that is not the team I play for! LOL 
    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
