Hi Colleen,
I had not heard that about Storage Wars. I will look for it. They have not had any new ones for a long time.
All those shows like Pawn Stars and American Pickers and Impractical Jokers have had a hard time during Covid as they have not been able to film like they did before. I wonder if Frank will ever be able to be on the show again after his back surgery. It seems like maybe he will not be able to climb around on the piles of junk like he used to anymore.
It will be weird watching the Olympics this summer with little or no fans allowed.
I’m glad we didn’t get the Johnson and Johnson too although the occurances of the blood clots were very rare. They were all in women so it makes you wonder if female hormones had something to do with it. I hope it does not deter people from getting vaccines of the other two. The more vaccinated the better off we are for returning to “normal.”
I haven’t seen anything more about Antonella other than what I posted a few days back after I watched her April 11th video on You Tube. She is going through something very scary. I hope she has lots of support.
I am glad to see Nick back too. It’s so scary that that some get very sick from Covid, some die and some are barely affected at all and some are sick for months afterward. What a horrible disease. I still would love to know if it just started up on it’s own or if it leaked from a lab. I don’t imagine we’ll ever know for certain. Even if the government finds out for sure I don’t think they would ever tell us.
Luke Bryant who is a judge on American Idol has Covid now too. You wonder since all these shows are supposed to have strict covid protocols how he got it.
Stay safe. Fingers crossed for no reactions to the second shot.
I wonder how Sue got along with hers.

Hi Sue,
I hope that your second shot went well. We are getting our second tomorrow. Yeah! Looking forward to finally getting my hair done after more than a year.
It’s sad that they had to stop giving the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. That’s what they gave at Greg’s work this past weekend. That will slow down the distribution but it’s best to be safe. It will also give people another reason not to get vaccinated. Maybe they should just stick to Pfizer and Moderna even though they are two shots and are harder to store. It seems we have the most data from them.
I wish you had a dryer-it would make things easier for you.
Sometimes Doug still does sing on Days-not sure about Julie. Of course he was a singer before he was an actor. He was on the old Your Show of Shows with Cid Caesar.
Do you ever regret not going to nursing school? We have such kind people here-people who worked with the elderly, people that worked with the foster system and nurses and people who wanted to be nurses. I guess I am the weird one as I wanted to be an archeologist. But my mother thought being a teacher was so much better and back in the 60’s most women in college studied teaching or nursing or secretarial stuff-things were so much more limited for us. I love that now girls can be anything-athletes, rocket scientists, doctors, lawyers.
I hope everyone else in your friends family will recover from this virus. It is an awful thing that has been foisted on our world.

Sue,
I am so sorry to hear about your friend. That is so sad. I will continue to pray for the family.
Stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I will pray for Gary and for a quick recovery.
You have had a heck of a time with gout this year. Your poor feet.
We are back into the 50’s too so I am back to long sleeves and my Cuddle duds cardigans.
Years ago I went crazy with the solar lights out here. since then I have had to pace myself. lol
Right now my favorite things are some lighted willow trees that i bought on the Q. First I bought one for the back deck and the next year I liked it so much I bought one for the front porch. They have to be plugged in and can be put on a timer or dusk to dawn or whatever. I love them. I think they only get them around CIJ although they are more a year round decoration to me.

Hi DD,
It’s so funny that you mentioned that Blockbuster as I heard two other references to that last remaining one in the last week. Aren’t coincidences like that weird?
I just watched a new video by Antonella on YouTube and she said they are on the boat now in either North or South Carolina and she starts chemo in May so they will be sailing up to somewhere else for that. She will have to have a port put in for the chemo and said she will lose her hair. After the chemo she will have radiation and pills. That poor woman has the burdens of five people right now. So many people are praying for her.
She had always been one of my favorites on the q as she was more relatable than some of the younger ones.
I pray she has a miraculous recovery.
It looks like you have a thimble collection on your shelves-is that what that is.

Hi Sue,
You are a much better guesser than I am so I think you are probably right. Chase will get the stuff in the drink and then it will circle back to who’s his Daddy. When they were doing that I was thinking obviously the people in that family aren’t afraid of each other’s germs. lol Especially in these times of covid. I wasn’t really sure exactly why Peter wanted to drug Finn-or whatever was in that vial-was it drugs or poison? Was it to get back at Anna?
You are right when a show has been on 58 years it’s hard to think of a new story line.
If you remember Mickey from Days you probably remember Maggie who he was married to later in life. She is still on although she has been off lately visiting a dying daughter. She is married on the show to Victor Kiriakis who is played by John Aniston who is Jennifer’s father. he is getting up there in age. Speaking of being up there you probably remember Doug and Julie then too-Doug(Bill Hayes) is really up there but looks great for his age. He’s not on often but he’s still on.
Yes, there are crazy people who are covid deniers-and the sad thing is some people believe them.
When you said you had to go hang up your clothes were you hanging them outside on a line?

Hi Colleen,
Jenny likes the new job. She is still learning and I don’t think will start from home for another couple of weeks. She has a little office all set up for herself in her bedroom so when the kids are home she can shut the door and work in there.
I liked the old days on the soaps when they would go out on capers and such. It made things a bit more exciting. However, they no longer have the budget for those kinds of things as most soaps are just hanging on by a string. Eventually they will probably all go off the air.

Hi Adele,
I’m sure you could probably drop back into watching Days and catch right up. Some characters have been on forever. The storylines can sometimes be “out there”. lol Were you watching years ago when Marlana was possessed by the devil. That was one of the silliest ones.
I’m glad that Aizen is feeling more comfortable at school. It’s probably a lot harder for the younger kids to go back. Jenny’s kids didn’t seem to mind. They seem to go with the flow pretty easily.
It was nice that the lady at the hospital remembered Heather. It makes you feel good that she was remembered.
You could have gotten in trouble with yard art yesterday as they had an all day gardening day. I did order a gnome for the porch and was real tempted by a koi to put by the pond. I am still thinking about that one hoping it goes on sale sometime. Ricky mentioned wanting a wind chime so I sent one over to Jenny’s house. I love wind chimes. I know some people hate them. I have several and we live out in the country so no one else can hear them but us so we aren’t bothering anyone.
I am glad that Bobby has his shot appointment. I know Jenny will get the shot eventually. I’m not sure about Brent as he is kind of stubborn about that kind of stuff. I am hoping to convince him. The more people that get it worldwide the better off we will all be.
There is always a fight between the squirrels and the bird feeders. It’s a challenge.
Do you have voles in the yard or moles. I didn’t know that voles made tunnels too. That’s funny that your yard looks like Caddy
Shack. As long as Bobby doesn’t turn into the Bill Murray character. lol
Can’t you check your blood test results online. I am signed up and when I have blood work done and the results are in I get an email notification and I can look it up on line. I usually see the results before the doctor’s office looks at them. You should check and see if you have the opportunity to do that. I love it as i can see all test results.

HI Sue,
I am surprised that the shot lasted for such a short period of time too. That’s such a shame. I know if it’s a rotator cuff there’s not much that can be done. It seems like Greg had some exercises but it took a long time for his to get better-but it does eventually so that’s good news.
We get our second shots next week too-you must have gotten Moderna like us. Did you have any problem with the first shot. Greg had none and I just had a tiny little rash right on the site of the shot.
Oh I know what you mean about stevieb-I remember her from posting in other places and she is generally very negative. I was sorry to see it when she came over to GH and started posting as I remembered her name from other threads as I found her to be negative, overbearing and sometimes argumentative. At least the Days thread is safe from her as she tried watching but became disenchanted very quickly. The person that I am sorry that i missed knowing very well was Preds as everyone seemed to genuinely love her.
Anyway, I totally agree with everything that you said about the soaps. They are supposed to be a little “out there” and not like daily life(which would be boring) I wonder if it takes so long to wrap up story lines as they are on daily. It seems like weekly shows have to wrap things up more quickly since their time is more limited. I am like you and just want to watch to enjoy and not pick everything apart. I still read the GH thread. I have hopes that stevieb will eventually get bored and move on. If she does I will let you know. In the meantime if you see something you want to comment on you can comment to me here. I just like to watch for the entertainment value. I did think they did a good job with Alexis’ anniversary show yesterday.
You know I learned something about you the other day that I never knew before. It took me ten years. lol Greg was looking at Facebook and there was something on there about two things that you could give up forever and you mentioned the beer and the soda. I never knew that you don’t drink soda. I must say I have a diet soda habit and I know it’s not good for me. I try to drink more water but i just like the flavor and the carbonation of soda. Do you just drink mainly water? Or wine or whiskey? lol Joking.
I’m excited for our second shots next week.
Gail
