It kind of surprised me.
Anybody who didn’t see that towel falling off must be asleep or blind.
And I don’t think for a minute Kate was trying to help Sami. She was trying to get her to backtalk Madison so she’d get fired for sure. Kate doesn’t have a "nice" spot, including all the way to the end of her little finger, in her body.
He loves her way too much…silly guy. In fact, he’ll probably blame himself somehow for what she did and forgive her completely.
(Patti, hope you’re all settled now.)
I don’t blame you. My BIL, who was much older than me, like 20 years, stuck his tongue in my mouth once and I bit it. He never did that again. Not that I ever gave him a chance to. And I was only 16-years old. That was my sister’s second husband and, needless to say, it didn’t last terribly long.
although I never heard the words, there were always physical signs of affection. When I got older, my husband, some friends, and some acquaintances mentioned how odd they thought it was that everyone (relatives) kissed each other on the lips. We even kissed aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. To this day, my kids kiss their dad and me on the lips (spouses and g.kids get kisses on the cheek) when they come in and when they leave, to thank us for a gift, for a good dinner, for watching the kids, etc.
And when I was little, one of my fondest memories was of sitting on daddy’s lap while he read the paper. Or laying on my mom’s lap (even as a teen) and she would play with my hair. I guess that’s how I know I was loved, just didn’t hear it.
Consequently, my biggest regrets in life are that I put more emphasis on disciplining my kids instead of showing them more love and affection. I can only hope that I’m making up for it now.
would same something cryptic that would give Sami at least an idea that he saw her and EJ. That would REALLY give her something to worry about. Not come right out and say it but just a little clue that only Sami could pick up on.
or even implied, I thought how ironic it was for Will to go off on his mother almost exactly like Sami had just gone off on Marlena. I guess she didn’t realize that she was getting it back in kind for her horrible treatment of her mother.
I’m surprised that Marlena was so willing to take it from Sami instead of saying like Sami did to Will, "You’re not allowed to talk to me like that." Those were the kind of remarks that cut to the bone and almost impossible to ever forgive…or forget.
I think if my kids ever talked to me like that, it would cut part of my heart out forever.
why they were doing it early. Yesterday they said it was so they could enjoy the tree longer.
I just wish they had shown, however briefly, all the other Horton balls of people who are no longer on the show…just to keep some kind of recognition that they are still thought of.
It’s too late for me but I’m thinking that maybe I’ll go out and buy some fancy balls and decorate them with the names of my two son’s families so they can start a similar tradition. I think those balls are absolutely gorgeous.
I keep thinking as she’s listening to Will’s accusations that she should have gotten a wee look of "ah-ha" on her face but she seems to be totally oblivious. I should think as guilty as she feels, that would occur to her even if he wasn’t referring to it.
that light green is very calming and that’s why they used to use it so much in hospitals, especially on the walls. (You’ll notice that most OR’s still use green walls, surgical drapes, and scrubs.) A long time ago my father was the superintendent at the military’s Hines Hospital laundry, outside Chicago, and all the main linens then were light green.
I don’t think they do it so much anymore but I used to watch the old hospitals in movies, on TV, and such and, sure enough, they were almost always pale green.
I said in a previous post that I have never lost a child. That’s totally untrue. I lost a premature (seven months) baby after he had lived for only one hour. Obviously, it is out of my head because I had completely forgotten about it. Maybe I didn’t mention it because I didn’t really consider it my child because of his short time on earth.
I never held him, he was just plopped into a stainless-steel wash basin and taken out. Maybe they thought he was already dead but that seems to me to be all but impossible. I would think the shock of hitting that cold metal would be enough to kill a new infant in itself but he held on for that hour anyway. I just know that I hardly ever think of him.
When my brother died at age 36, my mom said it was harder on her than when my dad died, one year previously. She always said, "You’re not supposed to have a child die before you." I know that was probably the worst thing that had ever happened to her. There were times when she’d be thinking of him and she’d grab me (I was a mother then also) and hug me just so tight and not say a word. She was never one to say she loved me but I sure knew she did at that time.
Of course we remember our lost loved-ones but I just feel that over time the pain deminishes to the point where we can talk about them without being outwardly emotional. I no longer feel the pain (for my mom, especially) or really even sorrow now. Again, call me hard-hearted but that just me.
for being so honest and candid with us. As I said before, I believe a lot of the ignorance toward gays is just that, the people are ignorant of exactly what homosexuality is. Either ignorant or very closed-minded.
My niece married a man with two "moms" who had been committed to each other for most of his live. He has two other siblings and all three said it had never been a problem for them. When other kids (keep in mind he is in his 40s) asked him why he had two mothers, he didn’t think anything of it and just told them because that was his family. I think his being so comfortable with the situation was because his "moms" were also comfortable and explained it to the kids in a very natural way.
The thing that I will NEVER understand is how a parent can not accept it in their child. Holy cow, that’s your child! You gave birth to them! You love them unconditionally. I used to say to my kids when they were teens (because of the monster MIL I had) that I didn’t care who they married, if they were black, white, athiest, had three eyes, no arms and legs, totally not worthy of them, or whatever, I’d try to love them as my own. Fortunately, they both married wonderful women that I feel like they are my own daughters.
Sorry, I’m rambling. Thanks again powerpaw. I hope if we have other questions as this Will storyline progresses we can go to you for your opinion.
a lot of this stuff doesn’t even need to be researched. We already know about it.
Heck, if you watch TV you learn a lot about the actual medical, legal, and technical jargon/procedures/practices. You don’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, or geek.
Speaking of that, I have two very close friends that watch very little TV. One watches sports, the other, nothing except an occasional old, old movie. I’m amazed many times during a conversation that they will be totally obvilious to something that I thought was plain ol’ general knowledge. I guess the Days’ writers must watch TV either.
(I suppose this should be on the Brady Pub site too but it really started here and is hard to switch. Sorry ’bout that.)
came "pre-programed." When they refurbished it, they didn’t even bother to remove the last person’s programming so I had to clean out a whole ***t-load of stuff before I could put my own selections in.
I have about five movies on mine that I want to watch before I ask for a new one. I think this time I’m going to demand I get a new DVR and not a refurbished one. I’ve only had HDTV for about three or four years so this is almost one per year.
I’ve threatened to switch to a dish but, in spite of claiming "free" installation, it was going to cost me $1,000 ($250 per set) to have it installed in the attic and inside the walls…instead of running outside the house, then across the ceiling and down outside of the walls.
