Love Jon Lindstrom! I keep saying, if Kim’s (a doctor), only son is terminally ill, why isn’t she taking a leave of absence from work? These are things that make me go hmph?!

Tell me about it, CeeCeeGirl!!! I kept checking back on the last two posts I sent to you and never saw a reply…hmmm. As for Darwinism, I actually do love it…depending upon whom is deciding what constitutes being the “fittest!” Anyway, just wanted to say hello…I’ve been enjoying my latest blast of winter by frolicking in the snow so have been purposely absent, but I hope all is well with you…one of these days I’ll get up-to-speed on GH so we may again discuss and dissect its many woes…LOL. Until then, take care, mia amica! Oh…and I concur… welcome back, DMR….you have been missed

Well, CeeCeeGirl, despite my enigmatic nature, I assure you the “frolicking” in the snow is of a wholesome variety….I just love being outside in the winter for any reason….(solo or otherwise, LOL…) The bracing chill of the frosty air and the majesty of the gorgeously pristine landscapes fill me with utter joy…it’s so otherworldly!! But even I have my self-limits…since I possess such a high tolerance for the cold, I force myself to stay inside when the temps become brutal…would I even realize I had hypothermia before it were too late? As for the posts I previously sent you, do check out the “Maura West” thread…there was another one, too. I’ll try to figure out where it was…In terms of those “notifications,” what they really mean is that despite the misleading message, the person mentioned actually sent YOU a reply, So, hopefully, you shall soon be receiving an email saying “Hi Shay” which seemingly indicates I got a reply, but in reality, the response is TO you FROM moi! Later, mia amica! Stay safe and warm!

Not at all, CeeCeeGirl! I think you are much like me…literal! (And often toooo smart for your own good….) Words mean things to us and we expect them to accurately and logically portray any given situation…Nothing makes any sense about those messages in the way they are phrased….it’s actually the exact opposite of what we are being told! But once I realized this idiosyncrasy, I just looked at the name mentioned to tell me if I cared to follow the link and read the response! (Which is, quite thankfully, usually the case these days….LOL.) If only the rest of life were so easy to figure out and navigate….

I call it suffering from ”information overload,” CeeCeeGirl! Even if one successfully multitasks, our human hardrives can only process so much at once, plus I’m sure your little miss keeps you on your toes…but what a precious age! And just remember, having a mind of one’s own is a true sign of intelligence….I’m sure Rosie is simply being a chip off the old CeeCee! C’mon, didn’t you do likewise??? I know I did, and my mother says we always get back in spades what we did as children when we have our own….nature’s revenge! Lol. At any rate, I do hope the Ryan saga ends with a bang and not a whimper…I watched Scorpio’s return the other day, and am looking forward to this week’s scenes with Laura, Anna, et al….if the spoilers I read are indeed correct…. it would certainly be nice if someone other than the predictible Ava, Nina or Carly brings down Ryan once and for all! We shall soon see……Oh, incidentally, enjoy the “Arctic Express!” It’s on the way…am I crazy to be excited by that fact??? (Because I am!)

@CeeCee……..Apologies for taking so long to reply, mia amica! I thought about just sending you a banana emblazoned with a Sharpie-scribbled inspirational message in the interim, but thought better of it, all things considered…(I know you will know to what I am referring…..LOL!) Having said that, I so hear you on the subject of Anna…she was such a dynamic character back in the day and to see her increasingly diminshed by the current regime really chafes at one’s sensibilities…The Divine Devane was never a sappy, silly femme no matter how deeply her emotions were felt….she certainly didn’t act that way over either of her great loves, those alpha males, Robert and Duke, so to see her behaving like a giddy schoolgirl with a sweet, gentle guy who owns a service lizard rather beggars belief! Of course, I still love Finola, but I do so hope she soon receives some material that does both Anna and her justice! (Perhaps she will if the spoiler I just read comes to fruition….fingers crossed…It will be an absolute Godsend!) As for Alexis, there is quite literally no plausible scenario that I could fathom which would make me desirous of seeing more of that woman…with or without Julian!!! Despite the many circumstances where we do see eye to eye, or at least understand each others’ opposing viewpoints, I shall never ken to your Damascene Conversion where she’s involved….’tis a true and abiding mystery for me! Sort of like that twin thing…will we ever receive a coherent conclusion to that convoluted mess???? (I’m not holding my breath…) In terms of the teacher, the main thing that I would find annoying about her would be if she were revealed as that seemingly mythical long-lost child of Nina’s…I’m truly sick of that character’s never-ending quest for motherhood which has been teased time and time again…let’s just keep her barren and leave it at that! At any rate, you were apparently quite the handful as a little miss, weren’t you??? Hopefully your appetite has improved in adulthood since you need all the energy you can muster to keep up with your prodigious progenies! (Although they do sound utterly delightful! Rosie seems like such a precious girly girl…just wait until you are both the same clothing size…that’s when the real raid on your closet will begin! Then who will be the fashion arbiter in your family….Jude or you?? I, myself, never gave my parents too much trouble when it came to being “appropriate,” so there was seldom a debate upon that particular topic…With me, it was more a matter of having very expensive tastes….my mother completely related, but my father routinely inquired as to the sum totals of my frequent shopping trips when I arrived home laden with bags and boxes full of merchandise, although bless his heart, he never forced me to return anything!) By the way, you and yours were on my mind over Super Bowl weekend…I’m sure you were celebrating the results…as was I, regardless of my general lack of interest in football. (Two words: “Reagan, Reagan!” Made that victory all the sweeter for me….) Oh well, must be going, CeeCeeGirl….just wanted to finally get back here to send a response to your last post. Ciao, bella!.

There you go again, mentioning those tall, blond men in your family….you really do know how to capture my attention don’t you CeeCeeGirl??? Now I’m having double visions of Trond Espen Seim (The Legacy) dancing in my mind as I imagine your two yummy brothers! (Speaking of that Nordic actor, I was watching his Varg Veum series last evening, and you will NOT believe who had a cameo role as a dirty old man patronizing a teenage prostitute…it was our beloved Anders Hove, aka, Faison! He looked every bit as wild and nasty as the insane Caesar! The only thing missing from the scene was a very miffed Dr. O.! Hah!) At any rate, I’m finding those envisaged images far more exciting than what is on GH these days….whilst I welcomed the Ryan/Kevin storyline simply because it echoed their previously excellent one of yesteryear, I am disappointed in it not due to JL’s magnificent dual performance in the darkly comedic tale, but the manner in which the same unnecessary characters that have nothing to do with the past have been drawn into it. (Yes, I’m referring to Ava and Nina….need I say more? By the way, what I meant when I opined that Nina should have remained barren is that after this amount of time, there should have been no mystery babies for her, period. The Kiki ship sailed eons ago, and whilst that was once a viable possibility, since then, the notion has become so moldy that it no longer matters and should have been completely abandoned.) Probably the one thing that really killed this latest Ryan caper for me was the minor role Laura, Anna and Robert Scoprio played in the course of this drama…they should have been central players in the action! Of course, I COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT ALEXIS, TOO! Call me nostalgic, but I miss those days of ripping her to shreds with you…such good times! Lol…Since it is now incumbent upon me to do it solo, here goes: I’m completely sick of this hackneyed, overly-predictible character…if she isn’t playing the pushy mamabear, then she’s doing the mouthy, overbearing feminist, SJW routine…boring! And then there’s her third…and least attractive… reliable scenario…yet another perpetual sexfest for this wanton woman….Given the newest, cookie-cutter toyboy to hit Port Charles, it looks like the latter is about to commence….oh, yuck! Spare me….PLEASE! As for Rosie, she sounds like she’s grown into a real beauty…although she may not resemble you in stature, I’ll bet she will still end up being a real chip off the old CeeCee and the world will be better for it! (Hey, there‘s always jewelry and accessories she can borrow from your “colllection!”…) At any rate, I must go now…glad to hear you had a super SuperBowl weekend! Incidentally, I hope you will get to see my posts on the Maurice/Gotti thread….I totally got what you were saying and backed up your sentiments! Later, mia amica!

Hi Shay!!! 🙂

It has to be Ava or Carly or even Nina who solves the case…not Laura as she still isnt as important to the writers as the other three

Yes, Jimh! God forbid that once-intrepid GH heroine, Laura Vining Webber Baldwin Spencer Cassadine Baldwin Collins—Did I forget an extra Spencer in there??? Her remarriage to Luke was a faux one, after all…—-be the star of this switched twins caper, despite the fact that her husband and his brother are the central characters. Noooo…we have to have the pushy Carly, amoral Ava, nutty Nina, and even the ever-annoying Lucy, butting into this tale when it should be centered around Laura and Kevin/Ryan…period! The other four would have been the perfect victims, not the central focus, of this killer storyline! Just another missed opportunity to cull the overcrowded Port Charles canvas!
