that they were considering naming me an Italian name, (some Italian in my heritage, but mostly Scottish, German, Irish, French – almost a Heinz 57 mix) – they were going to name me "Pia"   Now can you imagine having a name like that in kindergarten thru 6th grade?  "Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea" you pee" I can hear the little boys now….I am so glad my folks changed their minds about what to name their first born.  In Italy, it’s a common girls name though. 

I always thought, parents please be careful what you name your children – the name could be a burden sometimes. 

And for goodness sake, don’t name them the flavor of the week – In the 50’s every girl was named Betty Jo’s or Mary Sue in the fifth grade classes.  The 60’s a lot of kid’s got stuck with Moonbeam or Sally (from Mustang Sally – not because it was a cute name) or John and Paul – and not because of the Popes but because of the Beatles.  

In 70’s there were thousands of little boys named  Christopher Michael or Michael Christopher for the Gerber Baby food commercial (cute baby though).  The 80’s brought us a lot  of little girls got stuck with names because of Madonna, Pat (Benatar), Whitney, etc. 

And then in the 90’s came Britney, Shania, Mariah, Celine…lot’s of girls in school’s just graduating with those names being announce on the H.S. podium.  And goodness help the girls of today saddled with the monikers like  "GaGa", Rihanna, Shakira, Beyonce…

Siobhan is different and pretty – I guess in 12 years at a H.S. graduation class there will be 20 or so girls with that name too receiving their diplomas. 

in Salem or "real" world  – look at Tipper and Al – after 40 years?  Goodness.  If Vic and Vivy last a year – I’d be surprised!  I’m still shocked that Kate hasn’t plotted to off Stephano but they seem to be a happy couple (what passes as happy for them anyway) ! 

Let’s play…Set’s I remember… (and my memory is really baddddddd – so it may just be a description). 

The Penthouse Grill

The "blues" club – (bar and dance club) but it wasn’t the one with Chelsa and Nick – it was the one where Lucas was sometimes.

The club that Lucas ran for about three episodes as a new job (was that for EJ?)

Alice’s living room – hope we see that this month

Titan Publishing offices and boardroom

The laboratory (lab) where Sami switched lab results (two or three times?)

The cavern/cave where Lexi was held

Abe and Lexie’s house

Alices Bar (wasn’t that what the country and western bar was called?)

The "FancyFace" – well, that’s still sailing around the world…so it doesn’t count…

Maybe that is a way for Bo to interject himself back into Hope’s life by being jealous of her with another man?  I love Doc Baker – but you know who I’d like to see him with?  Nicole.  They both are simpatico…kindred spirits.  I don’t see Doc being the object of Hope’s affection at all even if it’s a one way street…

She was a saucy – say it like it is – no hold barred lady! 

I count us lucky to have the few rooms that our soap people have in this economy!  Wait another five years – we’ll be looking at screen prints of rooms with the actors standing in front of them.  Unless they become computer generated homes – after all they can do entire planets now with computers…heck, we may even have computer generated actors!

I can see your hubby doing the wedding thing for you being 1,000 miles away ~ that was very nice of him to do so.  But not the case with Chole and Daniel though – they are in the same apartment, same town, same everything – Chole is just a weak woman.

bride-to-be?  Since when does the groom set up the wedding and the plans for the ceremony?  Is Chole in that fragile of a state that she cannot set up her own wedding?  If so, maybe she’s to fragile to do the honeymoon thing too?  Hahahahhaha!
