He is completely delusional, isn't he?

Whenever I see him, which admittedly isn't that often because the mere sight of him usually makes me switch channels or something, I'm amazed at the fact that he actually was elected president.

After almost 4 years I can still hardly believe that it's actually true.

I have heard a lot of people say this and frankly even with my mom, a senior in a retirement community, is considered high risk, I am not sure I would suggest she get a vaccine initially unless its coming from a non US pharmaceutical company - and no not China.

 

You just know they know the black and brown communities have been hit hardest and would want to use those communities as the guinea pigs. I'd pass also unless you know it's reputable, meaning developed outside the US and China.

I will take the vaccine wherever it comes from (I won't be first in line if it's Russia, I admit), but I wonder if it's going to be like the flu vaccine. Is it going to be something we get every year and it's a variable efficacy rate each year? Will the vaccine even last a whole year or will it need to be administered more often because the immunity doesn't last?  Fingers crossed that we even get one at all.

I have been in self-quarantine since early yesterday morning. As I've mentioned before, I work as a caregiver and one of my clients was hospitalized - and tested positive for Coronavirus. I can't even get a test until Tuesday and who knows how long it will take until the results come back. The good thing is that I will be paid even though I can't work right now. 

 

I have had a bit of a cough and sore throat since Friday night, so I admit being nervous. I always wear a mask in public, whether I am on the job or not. Still, I know the risks as a health care worker. Social distancing is next to impossible in my line of work. You can follow all the precautions and still get sick. 

 

At least I can enjoy my new 40" flatscreen TV while I'm in limbo. I'll keep you all posted.

      It will be amazing if we could record the skipped episodes. Did someone sent a list of the skipped youtube episodes to the guys that are filling in the gaps?

        I don't think they ever wanted Sprina to be popular and I don't think they will bring Spencer back until Trina is gone. They've worked hard to marginalize their black cast, and that is only increasing. Trina/Gio could have been an interesting relationship, but they would rather just whittle that character away and then write her out.

      Daytime belonged to CBS. They would have been making a lot of $$$ with that lineup. For context, this is the lineup at that time. Only one soap on ABC (GH) and NBC (TD) which was still an anthology at that point. So it wasn't until the opposition added more soaps that they became competitive. NBC CBS ABC 10:00am Say When!

      Per recent Twitch live: Wraps filming his new film on Friday. Begins a new film on May 19. Will resume regular Twitch streams soon. Has a lot of projects coming out later this year. His current project has kept him in Tennessee longer than he was meant to be.

      Leslie's fantasy

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?

      Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates

      By DemetriKane · Posted

      Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]
