with the three macho…well, two macho…stereo-typical sports enthusiasts getting a little tipsy and acting so goofy. It made me smile. But they made a mistake making them Yankee fans. They are supposed to be cub fans. Somebody goofed there.
that the Dimeras would be allowed to see John without his attorney present. That was downright ridiculous.
I also thought both Dimaras were sorely lacking in their presentation skills to buy out Basic Black. They started with a threat instead of pointing out all the benefits to John. No wonder he refused. For supposedly high-powered business men (and an attorney), they sure are stupid.
Now if this were a movie instead of a soap, the outcome I’d LOVE to see happen is that instead, John (and Basic Black) would ultimately be able to buy out Stefano and his entire empire, rendering the whole family, Kate and all, penniless and destitute. Now THAT would be payback in spades.
She’s obviously become a beloved character to many fans dispite her flaws so I guess they’ll just keep her that way. Why fool with a good think? The only thing you can say about her is Sami is Sami and will always be Sami.
Changing Sami for the better would probably be as disastrous as trying to make Stefano a good guy. Remember when they did that way back? It was a complete and total failure. Nobody liked him that way. I’m not sure I’d like Sami anymore either if they let her "grow up."
I guess when they figure they story is over, there is no explanation needed. I’m sure we could go back and apply this to many past characters.
requiring a woman to pump her milk in a restroom. If I had been the boss I would have picked a supply room or conference room or even someone else’s office (my own if necessary) to allow her to use. As long as you know this is an every day occurance, the person who’s office she uses could make alternate plans during that time. Or, if it’s another woman’s office, maybe the mother wouldn’t mind her continuing to work while she pumps. There’s gotta be a better solution than the rest room.
I even bought a CD.
And, yes, I remember Lady in Red. That was such an appropriate song and I loved the song anyway even before they started using it.
from your work to pump milk. It’s like smoking…you do it on your break or not at all. It’s amazing how many employees think this kind of stuff is "owed" to them and get all huffy when they are denied.
One time my aforementioned employee wanted to leave at 3:00 to pick up her son at daycare. I told her she couldn’t go as I needed her desperately to finish a job I needed for a meeting the next a.m. She got all huffy and said she HAD to go because his dad couldn’t pick him up. I told her she’d better find someone else then. She left anyway. (I had to borrow an admin. from another department to do her job.) Next morning (and she was LATE!!!), Human Resources was there waiting for her and, well, you can probably guess the rest.
I once counted the minutes a co-worker took for smoking and he was gone from his desk almost five hours that week! I can’t tell you how many times we’d hear, "Where’s Neil," and the reply would be, "Taking a smoking break."
they say that for vow renewals as they are already legally married. But it would be a very good dramatic effect to be able to do so.
No, I don’t think Will is going to spill the beans for quite some time, although I don’t know why he’s keeping it a secret. It seems to me he would at least have told Marlena because she is duty bound to keep it to herself. That way he wouldn’t have to be carrying this burden all by himself.
although I don’t think it’s no longer necessary for her to do so. She wouldn’t have to reveal where she is just because she’s texting Carrie.
here’s a question. How is he currently "using" Nicole? He could certainly hire her as his campagne manager and not have to include the other perks. I don’t see any reasoning for him wanting her with him. If it’s just sex, he could certainly get that without all his "I love you" stuff.
Obviously, I could be wrong but I still truly believe he DOES love her. Maybe in his own warped little way but loves her nevertheless.
in blaming Daniel for his situation. You don’t control those things, they just happen, often, in spite of your good intentions. Just listening to Abby yesterday was a good example. I’m sure she didn’t want to "fall for" a married man, much older than she, but sometimes, that nasty old Cupid plays mean tricks on people.
Now I’m wondering if Jen will go directly back to Jack because she has no valid reasoning not to. She says she still loves him and there’s no Daniel in the way. If not, then she needs to understand that Daniel is the one she should have chosen.
I’m thinking that if Daniel is going to be out of the picture for a while, their relationship is probably doomed permanently. That’s a shame because I really like them as a couple.
I had an assistant who had only one child, two-years old. Much like Sami, she was always late, would have to leave early for various reasons, or, much too often, not be able to come in at all, again for various child-related reasons.
I sat down with her several time to help her try to figure out how she could solve some of these problems and be available when I needed her. She would sit and nod her head at my suggestions but nothing would change.
Finally, I had to let her go and she argued with me about how unreasonable I was being and I just didn’t understand what it was like to be a working, single mother. While I was not single when my kids were little, I was a mother and can honestly say, I missed very few days of work because of them. Surgery was one and a couple of medical emergencies (like knocking their two front teeth out!). I couldn’t depend on my husband to care for them because he had his own business and if he wasn’t there, it couldn’t open.
Anyway, she left in a huff and I heard through the grapevine that she lost her next two jobs for the same reason. I guess some people just aren’t willing to understand that you have to be depended upon in your job and, as important as your kids are to you, you need to have alternative, alternative plans for their care.
Occasionally I like to go a bit far out with an outfit, even at 72. But, Kate looks like that every day. I’d love to see her in an ordinary, conservative, chic-looking, well-fitting outfit…just once.
I think Marlena’s outfits are always befitting a woman of her age and position. But, you have to admit, we rarely talk about what she is wearing and you know what they say; "Negative attention is better than no attention at all." So maybe Lauren/wardrobe know what they’re doing.
I thought the kids were just playing around with her, not disobeying. And she was chasing them like it was a game also. But, I could be wrong.
After Daniel left and Jen closed the door, I actually had tears in my eyes.
I could relate to Jen a teensy bit. When I was dating my 2nd DH, I was also seeing another guy from before I met DH. And, yes, they both knew about each other. After about amonth, my soon-to-be DH gave me an ultimatum…"him or me." As simple as that. This was early in our relationship and I really cared (not loved yet) for both. But I made the decision. I have often wondered what would have happened if I’d chosen the other guy.
So, much like Jen, I don’t know when I would have made the choice had not DH force my hand. And it was not that I was stringing them along, I just couldn’t make up my mind.
A similar thing happened to a woman I worked with once. She and her DH had separated and he started dating someone else. (Men seem to do that more readily then women.) After about a year they started "dating" again and she wanted to get back together with him but he couldn’t make a choice. But she did the same thing as my DH and gave him the ultimatum. He picked her and they’ve been happy ever after…some 20 years and two kids later.
