    I have heard a ton stories like this.  My one friend’s wife went through multiple IVF to finally get pregnant with twins.  Since they had tried for many many years before this and then the multiple failed attempts before the miracle baby they thought they were done.  Well a couple years later she ends up pregant with no medical intervention.  Something they and the doctors thought was impossible.

    I went through fertility issues and still would not have sex without some kind of protection unless I was OK with another baby, because I have heard way too many stories like the above to take the chance.

    abused woman.  For some reason this guy has a hold over her that even she can’t explain.  She is strong and independent away from him, but cowards when around him.  There are many woman that are abused, that you would never know.  They are strong woman away from this guy, but when they around him, they are a different person.  I actually like this SL, because I think it brings to light something that many woman go through.  It is something so hard to explain that it seems unrealistic, but it happens in the real world.

    Everyone telling Sami how it is.  I love Sami, but right now she needs a couple punches in the face to own up to her wrongs, so she can grow up and fix all the relationships around her.

    lived with Dan and Chloe for a little bit.  He was pretty protective of Nicole at times even though he acted like he didn’t like her.  But I think Dr. Dan said, it was the company she was with (EJ) and not her.  Which is about how I remember the scenes being acted before.

    With the theme parks and some downtown party areas you see outdoor drinking a good amount.  But even in Pittsburgh there were events with outdoor drinking, but I can’t remember if the beer was in plastic cups or beer bottles.  I want to say plastic cups.  I was pretty young when I went to most of those events.

    The other guy was into Will, but he did seem a little confused about the kiss.  Yes, he was into the kiss and contributed, but I think he got caught up in the momment.  Easy to do when alcohol is involved.

    It was angry intense.  Totally different things.  The whole point was not knowing the guy.  He was drunk, confused, and angry at the world.  He took it out on that guy and it was probably easier not knowing him than knowing him and having to deal with the embarassment afterwards.

    I have seen two people kissing out in public, kissing is no big deal.  It was angry kissing, so it had a little more to it, but it was still kissing.  No cloths came off, no one jumped into bed, it was a KISS.  I think young viewers see kissing all the time in movies, TV, and in real life.  So I don’t think that particular scene needed any kind of warning.  If you are worried about your child seeing that scene, then you should not watch with your child around.  Because way worse is said and done on a soap than that kiss.  It is not a childrens program.  I watch with my 1 year old in the room and honestly could care less.  She is going to grow up in a world of homosexuality and therefore I see no reason she can’t see two guys kissing.  It is out in the open now, it is going to stay around no matter what people say or do.  Someone else said something about blacks and whites kissing on screen was this huge deal and now it is no big deal.  It is going to be the same in 10 to 20 years.  And people who think they can stop it are fooling themselves.  No one can stop this movement.  Could anyone stop the freeing of slaves?  Woman Rights?  Minority Rights?  Etc?  No, you they couldn’t, because it was the RIGHT thing to do.  It is the same with gay rights.

    I don’t see why political views have to come into this conversation.  There are a lot of variety of Liberals, as there are a lot of varieties of conservatives.  There is also a huge population of moderates and independents.  There is no need to label someone who may actually enjoy this scene.  It doesn’t make them a Liberal.  Our country is too into labels and what side you are on to realize we are all people and we have more in common with each other than you would realize.  But we are too busy labelling and calling each others names to even realize that.

    I have really liked this SL, I think they picked the perfect characters to play it (Will and Sonny as someone to help him).  They have family to go to and that helps the SL a lot.  I also think Will getting drunk and acting out was perfect, I mean we have all done things when we were drunk that we would not have done if sober.  I think it was that.  But I love him still questioning it and I loved Marlena’s response. 

    I don’t understand how people can say it was too much.  If it was a guy and girl finally breaking down and kissing like that, we would have no issues with it.  It doesn’t make Will this guy who is going to sleep around after just one kiss.

    Some places allow open beverages outside.  We have open outside areas that allow drinks outside, but have checkpoints so that you can’t leave that outside area with a drink.  Some of them are shopping areas like Salem Place.  They also sometimes hold outside special events, which is what that looked like.

    As for the weather, it will NEVER snow or rain in salem place.  The explained that away at the grand opening when someone said, isn’t it great that they thought to put a roof covering this area so the elements won’t effect the square.

    The more you win the drunker you get.  Trust me I know from my college days.  The winner keeps playing, while the loser no longer plays.  While you win, there is 6 cups on the table and you have to clear all cups of your opponent before you win.  So in reality they are going to clear some of your cups and therefore you do drink a good amount yourself.  So the loser at most drinks three cups (if you are playing teams – 6 if no teams).  While the winner could play many games in a row (I think he said 5) and therefore drink as many as two to three per game and if not playing in teams even more.  There are even more varients where you play teams but both of you have sets of glasses in front of you.  In that case the winner could drink up to five glasses per game.  Especially since Will has no tolerance of Alcohol.  At least when I played I could hold a good amount of liquor and I walked away VERY drunk and I never lost a game.

    I think Sami is on to a possible scenerio here.  She knows what John has been through and realizes that maybe something could have happened where the John everyone knows is not the one doing this, but this "other" John.  Maybe split personality or something like that.  I don’t think there is any way John is guilty, but it could be another Hope like situation.  I also believe someone is setting him up and caused this to play out in some way.

    RoboJohn was scary for everyone, including Sami, and I think she remembers that too much.

    I work in IT and to be honest with you, you would be AMAZED at what you run into when it comes to passwords.  Sticky notes right on the monitor with passwords, maybe in a drawer if you are lucky, they give the password out to their assistant (oh and that same password gets to their online paychecks), keeping the password simple, like "password".  It is why as IT people we have to put safeguards in like forcing a certain length password, it contains numbers, letters, and symbols.  If you are high up with an assistant, you can’t have ePay.  You may not do these things, but there is a LARGE majority of people that do.  You guys posts on boards, so most likely you use your computer more than then the average Joe does.  People who do not use a computer very often do these types of things.  I worked help desk one day to help with a launch of a new application that I was doing.  One day was enough for me to realize how computer dumb people are.  I had one person ask me if the 123 in the password I gave them was in caps or lowercase :)  You seriously can not make this crap up, that si our motto in our group.

    My DH has the same feelings about his father, but as an outsider I agree.  He is way more tough on him than his sister.  My DH has done extremely well for himself, yet for the longest time his father would find something to nit pick at.  I HATED being around his father because then we would come home and he would be so depressed.  I think sometimes fathers take it too far when it comes to their sons.  They need to learn to congratulate them for their successes in addition to giving them advice.  And father’s are not always right with their advice either.  Especially when they are adults, the child needs to learn to make their own mistakes.  I know when we moved in together we went price shopping for furniture.  We went everywhere and decided to get good wood furniture that had to be stained.  We found some "broken" pieces on sale and since DH is handy he could fix them, stain them, and we would have really nice furniture.  My DH was so excited about finding this furniture and that he would be able to fix it up.  You know what his father said?!?  Why did you get new furniture, when me and your mom moved in together we bought used furniture and that worked for us".  Well you know what?  It doesn’t work for us.  We both went to college, got really good jobs, and could afford way more than the furniture that we did buy.  But we both wanted to conserve money so we found a good way of finding stuff cheap, but would last us a long time.  Used furniture would be cheap, but would not last as long.  I think sometimes fathers need to step back and remember that it is different times now and that they don’t always know everything going on in their kids lives.  So they can’t always judge them.

    Moving on to today…. the relationship is better.  I think his father finally figured out he was pushing his son away as we visited less and less.  So his father has learned to keep his mouth shut and also congratulate DH way more than he ever did.
