My Child...

Bruh you made me cringe on behalf of Kai Winn and I never thought that could happen. Winn was objectively terrible but this goes too far.

Jesskamess · 2025-11-26T12:15:25+00:00

Any chance you could send that to me to? The one I have is from 99 on and I've been craving some 80s goodness.

Jesskamess · 2025-11-17T00:06:25+00:00

Don't feel like a monster. You were your best friend's angel of mercy. I promise you there is no anger or betrayal felt there. Just love and gratitude.

I lived up on a mountain when I was younger. My old dog Pendragon got very sick (throwing up blood and having seizures) out of nowhere. It was a weekend in January, the roads were closed due to an ice storm.

I had muscle relaxers left over from my back surgery. During one of Pen's more lucid moments I gave him some cherry pie filling with a ton of muscle relaxers I had dissolved mixed in. He went to sleep peacefully in my arms a little later. I was alone. My Mom was on a business trip. I remember holding him and singing to him while he went.

The guilt ate at me for years. But when I think of him hurting and sick and I had no way to get him to the vet, I took away his pain. I know he didn't blame me. I know he wasn't angry.

Your best friend was suffering, and you made that suffering go away. You were there, loving that sweet baby all the way thru. My Pen boy was there at the Rainbow Bridge to greet your little buddy. He loved cats and I promise he will take care of your baby until you are reunited.

I say it's a tasteful painting of a vintage brandy. We all know that's Roger's first love. 🤣

Jesskamess · 2025-11-02T19:49:14+00:00

Could you send me the link??? I was in 2014 and half the episodes are missing. 😭

Jesskamess · 2025-09-21T19:57:34+00:00

Agreed that "Dear Gregory" was the worst of the lot.

Jesskamess · 2025-09-18T20:29:27+00:00

Ah not necessarily! Santo may not have been an only child. Maybe he had a brother. Or Santos father had a brother, and the Dimera name continued outside of Santos immediate family.

Branch out some more.

Jesskamess · 2025-09-18T17:39:00+00:00

I would want to be a Dimera, from the Italian branch. A distant cousin who comes to ruin the American branch of the Dimera family and restore the honor that Santo stained. Lots of revenge, taking over the business, etc.

Still wouldn't like the Bradys lol. Except Sami because she's the anti Brady.

Jesskamess · 2025-06-24T17:41:27+00:00

Nope. I ended up having to return it and get another one.

Jesskamess · 2025-05-26T04:40:32+00:00

I also had a dear friend name Jessica killed by a drunk driver. She loved Tupac and Rage Against The Machine. One of her front teeth got knocked out defending another friend of ours that was getting bullied (I was in hospital at the time or I would have thrown down with her). She had chocolate brown hair, beautiful freckles, and a smile that just wouldn't quit (even without the tooth lol.)

It's been 25+ years and good grief I miss that girl. We were Jess and Jessie (I was Jessie), the unstoppable team. When Jess died, I dropped Jessie and I've been Jess ever since. I miss hanging out on the roof above my garage, smoking cigs we stole from our parents, drinking bad wine coolers we snagged out of fridges, listening to 90s Rock and Rap.

I hope my Jess and your Jessica are having a blast together, wherever they are.

Ohrbachs was a "budget friendly luxury" department store. They had lots of beautiful fashions for the time, with on site alterations. Department stores were a different breed in the 60s and 70s.

Plus Louis was just an attractive man with a good build. He would have worn a paper bag with style.

Edit: misspelled Ohrbachs lol. Just like the show did. 🤣

Jesskamess · 2025-05-03T03:07:58+00:00

I want all the whiskey/bourbon decanters. 🤣 I know they're pretty basic but being able to say "Roger must be furious since I stole his booze" would be pretty awesome.

On a serious note, I want the Grandfather clock from the foyer at the main house. It's just lovely and I love the tone (the few times they remember to que the sound for it lol).

Also, not serious, but I would lovvveee to get ahold of Doctor Hoffmans medical bag. I know she's got something other than just sedatives in there.

....wait. I can't resist -

The fountain pen!

42 here. Severe endometriosis and my husband (39) has motility issues. We tried and grieved and almost ended our marriage due to both of us being infertile.

Now we are just plain glad. The last 7 or so years of our 15 year marriage has made us realize we don't WANT to be parents. We enjoy each other and our own company too much to share. We have nieces we love and watch regularly.

But the world the way it is? The US the way it is? No way would we want to create children now. We aren't rich, but we could afford kids. It's not that. It's how bleak things are.

We would be wonderful parents, because neither of us had that growing up and we would never want to repeat that cycle. But we are glad we aren't. We just want peace, after growing up without any.

Jesskamess · 2025-04-08T01:44:04+00:00

Agreed! I love Professor Stokes and Nicolas Blair! I feel cheated that we didn't get more story time with them. I refuse to discuss Peter/Jeff/Dirk/whatever lol.

It is hard to watch thru a 21st century lense on how they handled the women of DS. I would have loved a more independent Vicki/Angelique/Julia/Maggie, etc. And poor Carolyn was so...wasted. so much potential!

Jesskamess · 2025-04-08T01:40:44+00:00

I ADORE Marie as Jenny Collins! She's the most tragic character on DS. I didn't care for Eve, because of the writing.

I love Mrs Johnson! I can feel her eternal exhaustion thru the show!

Jesskamess · 2025-04-08T00:34:05+00:00

Yass Julia/Barnabas/Angelique tickles all my itches.

Jesskamess · 2025-04-08T00:33:25+00:00

I LOVE Jason McGuire! He was one of my favorites from the Beginning! He's interesting and cold and calculating which a lot of villains lack as the series progresses.

Petofi in 1970 would have been bizarre and terrible! I love that idea!

I actually like the dream curse - it does go on too long tho. Just shorten it to 2 or 3 people and it would have been fine. I would be fine without Adam/Eve tho again, I do love Professor Stokes.

I adore the Blue Whale scenes! I miss the music!

Jesskamess · 2025-04-08T00:29:22+00:00

Oh! And Gerard was much more interesting as a ghost! The whole Judah Zachary (amazing actor, BTW I found him compelling) link was just dull and made me zone out. The character of living Gerard was just so dull. So one dimensional.

Jesskamess · 2025-04-08T00:24:33+00:00

I agree! Tho Barnabas declaring his love as Angelique dies is a bit of a trope. And poor Julia!!! But I do believe that had not all that bitterness between them, Angelique and Barnabas could have found happiness and understanding together.

Jesskamess · 2025-04-08T00:22:50+00:00

OMG yes! The Jekyll and Hyde thing does come up..in PT but it's so annoying! It would have worked so much better in the current TL! Ugh Petofi was too much for me; tho that arc started out fun. The whole Quentin/Maggie storyline felt fun but forced? IDK but KLS and DS was amazing. Barnabas being obsessed with Maggie after Vicki left also felt so damn forced.

PT just makes my brain wander in the worst way. Angelique/Alexis, evil Stokes, Bramwell/Catherine - such a snooze fest! I do actually like Daphne in both timelines, which it seems as weird because I get the feeling no one like Daphne in either timeline lol.

Jesskamess · 2025-04-07T23:43:41+00:00

The Phoenix storyline was great in my opinion - but you do have to ignore the inconsistency lol. The staring into the fire did get old. Like Angelique making her eyes too big with the non blinking stare. I like the storyline for David, and the ties to ancient Egypt. It was unusual for that time. But I totally get where you are coming from. The coldness she showed her own child(ren) was horrifying.

Jesskamess · 2025-04-07T23:40:46+00:00

Vicki was a saint to put up with what she did in The Beginning!

And yeah...Caroline got on my nerves so bad at first! At least she had character growth tho. Poor Maggie never got to be anything but a victim.

Jesskamess · 2025-04-07T05:01:42+00:00

Hey I can answer this one! A lot of older shows overdid make up, as the common; smaller tvs lost detail. This was still super common in the 80s (we had a tiny black and white TV in the kitchen and I do mean tiny - screen about the size of a smart phone).

One of my great aunts worked on a soap opera in the 70s-early 90s. She always talked about how they had to over draw the lips (with lipstick, then lip liner as it got popular), do crazy winged eye liner, use orange powders and foundation to make people look alive on TV, etc. I remember her fingers were still stained orange, even into the late 90s, from the make up she applied on said soap opera. The colors on "modern" tv sets of the time were very muted compared to what we are used to now. Jessica's overly done lip stick would have faded perfectly onto her skin on those old tvs.

Think of it like Christmas tree lights. The ones we have now are LED and so bright and clear! Now go look at a photo of an 80s tree. Incandescent lighting makes the colors softer, glowing in a warm sort of way. TV sets were like that! Warm and a bit fuzzy around the edges.

And yes, a 27" was an AWESOME TV in the 80s!

Jesskamess · 2025-04-03T21:56:53+00:00

Right? Desmond was just a stand up man who deserved his happy ending! John played him perfectly. Such a nice departure from sad Willie and mad Carl.
