it's all good Ms Q! I speak spanish too, not fluent but at least enough to translate what i need to. I hope all the moving went well

i'm sure you put it in you post, but I don't have a second to read it all yet, so I just thought I'd say it anyway. You'll get used to being off campus!!

Hmmmm.

Hmmmmmm...

1.) Some professor made a big, fat pass at you, and you're dreading having to spend the whole summer with him?!?!?!

2.) No problem on the Spanish. I'll figure it out (somehow!). I have to learn how to say "torrid affair" in spanish, because I hear you're going to have one (with some cutie dude who is going to quit smoking for you) !!! :lol::lol::lol:

No, no, no!!! I worded that SO wrongly!!! I just didn't want to post something that he or his wife would take offense to. But it's not like that. I feel so stupid for making such a big deal out of this now... :(

BTW, torrid love affair = aventura amorosa tórrida, and you can put the second adjective first in this case, so it could also be tórrid aventura amorosa. I've Google.es'ed it, and both are used in Spanish publications... :)

Sorry I missed you all in the breakroom. Maybe tomorrow?

MsQ, despite the fact that I am still grasping helplessly at understanding English, and that the only languages I ever fumbled through in school were French and German, I would be perfectly content to get emails in Spanish from you. I might only understand 1/5 of what you say, but Tracy is Universal, right? And now that I know the following important phrases, I'll be fine: pelo malo, pelo bueno, and aventura amorosa tórrida.

PinkPopsicle, thanks for the Baby Boom caps. And, wow, even I can't justify that look on Jane. Just sooo not a good look for her. Was her performance at least good?

It will be fun to try and deceipher your emails, Ms. Q! It will be like a mini course en espanol! Sounds like there are a few of us that know some Spanish..between all of us I'm sure we can figure them out! I think you should write a story while you're in Mexico....Tracy's vacation or something!

Hooked....I'm looking forward to reading your story when I get back!

Have a nice weekend everyone B)

Hey MsQ...I also know "No fumar!" LOL! You can let us know cute guy quits! How do you say "ugly jacket" in espanol? So I can tell you what ugly jacket she is wearing?

Everyone notice how Ms. Q didn't deny the possibility of a torrid love affair?!?!? :lol::lol: Send those emails, chica! There are English/Spanish dictionaries all over the web. I'll figure it out!

Ugly is Feo

I had to look up jacket. http://www.freedict.com/onldict/spa.html says it's "chaqueta." I have never heard that word before. Is it right?

Ugh.. Lainey doesn't want to go to work.

I mean really really really. She doesn't want to go. Ugh. :(

Yes I noticed no denials at all by Ms Q! :) We might be getting some racy fanfic stories when she gets back, based on her adventura amorosa torrida or however you say it. However, cute smoker boy may pale in comparison to some hot (en fuego) Mexican guys--ha ha! How do you say "oopsie daisy" en espanol-HA!

TracyLuv, CLICK HERE for the Emotional Video. Sorry it took so long for me to reupload and post.

Thanks all for being okay with the Spanish emails. :D

Yes, chaqueta is jacket. So, Tracy wears chaquetas feas y largas (long). Short would be cortas. As far as the robes/housecoats go, I just looked it up, and it's bata.

Oopsie Daisy? LOL. I'd say no translation in the sense we're talking about. I could give you the word for "oops" and the word for "daisy," but that would a direct translation and totally incorrect. :lol: I wonder what kind of looks like I would get. "Oops" as in "Damn it" or "Darn it," would be Ay caramba.

Who knew Tracy Q. could be so educational? LOL.

Sad to say, but most of the really cool stuff I've learned in my life, I've learned from fandom. Like, Star Trek taught me about the concept of entropy. Harry Potter taught me about the Italian Resistance in WWII (don't ask) and fine wines. I've learned more about expensive clothes, wilderness survival, fine alcohol, and corporate politics from General Hospital than I ever would have in school.

Add espanol to that ever-growing list.

And they say TV rots your brain.

Deb--and think how much you have learned about purses from the lovefest--ha ha! I have just added Lainey's shoes for Tracy to my story! BTW...we saw the train station in London that they filmed Harry Potter on. We took a picture near where 91/2 should have been. Last book coming out in July. My kids are so excited to read it.

I am having a pajama day today. Still sitting in my pjs, drinking coffee and writing! I bagged out of working field day today at the kids school in the hot sun. I have done in the past 8 years, so I deserve a break huh!

Hooked, if I bring nothing else out of my Tracy addiction but a knowledge of and appreciation for the Dyke Purse, it will have been well worth the time.

I'm so jealous of you for playing hookie; I wanted to call in sick sooooo bad today (and yesterday). But I have to save five vacation days for our trip in December, which leaves me with only one more personal day to play with for the rest of the year. I am just going to have to tough it out and go to work, even when I feel like sleeping in and watching television all day.

MsQ, are you going to start posting spoilers en espanol, cuz that might be a bit much. Free Translation Dot Com doesn't work so good, ya know, and well, I need my spoilers. The antidepressants are working too well, and spoilers give me that safe, familiar feeling of paranoia and mistrust.

Speaking of paranoia and mistrust, any Q spoilers for today or next week?

Pajama day paid off...finished this story I started before all my travels. Credit to Lainey for brainstorming the idea with me. We were going to do it jointly, but travels and work constraints were getting in the way--darn real life! I finished it up this morning. Lainey, we will do another one jointly when things settle down. I still want to do that!

Guess all good things come to an end, and I must get dressed and get out of my house! Ha ha!

    • Her description was a bit off but it was 52 years ago so we can give her a pass.
    • Oh. Ok. I just looked at the article. Thanks. Perhaps they changed Jack's name to Stuart, added a daughter and had them all have different hair colors.
    • Thank you. That's what I thought because of the year but who was "Jack with the three blonde daughters"?
    • You can watch it here without an app: https://www.cwtv.com/shows/tv-we-love/dynasty/
    • There are so many beats that could be played with relationships and history b/w  characters. But cast/set restrictions (and loust writing) are destroying that. Really liked seeing Jack and Nikki catch up. Trouble is, in the current version of Y&R it had to continue the entire episode. Hearing Lily talk on the phone to Maddie-how much better if we had actually seen the kids during Cane's return. Would the original actors return for a short stint? Maybe not and perhaps they don't feel a recast would work. All of this could have been avoided by letting BF be a new character. For the amount of difference it's made , there was really no need to bring back Cane.
    • Zeman said Marland created Barbara Jean Spencer, they called her Barbara until she and Monty decided Bobbie would be better as a nickname. It was almost Barbie IIRC, and they didn’t think that was right. She also has said on more than one occasion that she came in during the transition and Monty didn’t hire her, but ended up liking her. So Scotty and his friend must have been talking about her. This episode was fascinating. I am so happy it was shared. I can absolutely see why the show was in trouble. It’s lifeless and old fashioned as far as dialogue and some of the staging. Monty herself said she threw those episodes out, so that makes me think they were even worse. Which really made sense to me watching this because I only saw a glimpse of Monty in the less static scene with Rick moving all around while talking to David and the same type of staging with Scotty, Laura, and his friend’s name I cannot remember right now. That long ass scene through Monica’s eyes was very old fashioned as far as style. I can also see why the ratings started rising relatively quickly. Most of the earliest Monty shows I have seen are a few months later, and the show is very different. It moves, the characters are more intense, the staging has movement, and it feels more modern for the time. By the time you get to 1979 it’s really rocking and I totally get it in a way I didn’t before just from seeing this. Genie was so young to play that story with creepy Hamilton. And Kin sure was cute as nice guy Scotty.
    • Kate previously shadow directed or directed some scenes? on Days before GH, so it's been a passion of hers for a bit.
    • Who is monitoring her spending? Maybe the upshot is that Leslie is spending way beyond her means and she'll end up broke again. The house will be repossessed etc, Part of her comeuppance.
    • Kimberly McCullough shadowed at GH and completed an ABC directing program, but I don’t believe she was ever credited as director or given an episode of her own to do. One of the reasons why she got work so quickly was because she had multi-cam knowledge from years on soaps.
    • Do not apologize for this. I was thinking just today it's bringing me fond memories of when I was a teen of Angie and Jessie. Jenny and Greg, Philip and Beth. And although they were teens, Steve and Betsy.  I like a good teen story.
