Members Maxim Posted February 19 Members Share Posted February 19 I feel sad for people who underestimate and bash soap operas. They don't know what they are missing. The dept and the emotion and the substance that only soap operas can deliver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 19 Members Share Posted February 19 Key Dates & Deadlines for The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. Entry Deadline (February 22, 2024). Late Entry Deadline (March 7, 2024). Today I got an email warning me that if I use any of these 7 phrases I will give it away that I am from the South. Well, for starters, I'm not trying to conceal that fact. But, let's see what we've got. 5 perfectly acceptable phrases: over yonder, ornery, reckon, fixin' to & bless your heart. 2 remaining never heard of noodling which mean fishing so why not just say fishing? And, bowed up which supposedly means like an animal preparing to fight. Okay, whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 20 Members Share Posted February 20 Unlike that other this is an email I really like! A fine list of acronym redundancies! ATM machine → Automated Teller Machine machine DC Comics → Detective Comics Comics FBI investigation → Federal Bureau of Investigation investigation GRE exam → Graduate Record Examination exam HIV virus → Human Immunodeficiency Virus virus IRA account → Individual Retirement Account account ISBN number → International Standard Book Number number LCD display → Liquid Crystal Display display NPR radio → National Public Radio radio OPEC countries → Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries countries PDF format → Portable Document Format format PIN number → Personal Identification Number number Please RSVP → Please Répondez S'il Vous Plaît (plaît being French for “please”) SAT test → Scholastic Aptitude Test test UPC Code → Universal Product Code code VIN number → Vehicle Identification Number number This reminds me of trying to explain a typical soap opera storyline: Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted February 20 Members Share Posted February 20 I drank some off-tasting bottled water from a very strange store we visited... My husband actually suspected these bottles were used and some tap water added into them. I am not sure, since I didn't remember it was opened or not... But yeah... I didn't sleep last night with horrible intestinal pain and... you know the rest. I am now recovering and eating bits and pieces to help my stomach and intestines. I will NEVER EVER drink water that even smelled off before I tried the taste. I hope I am good tomorrow, since I completely ruined my husband's birthday... and my own is soon coming up... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
