I think Steve forgot to put on his bolo tie today. Mary Beth Evans, Stephen Nichols, and Judi Evans are just delicious together! And everyone kissed on the lips!

This just made me dry heave. And panic.

It's the strangest thing, isn't it? You are not alone in that thinking! Just checking in to say I'm still with you guys, and I'm still terrified. I can't believe that a week ago I was practically walking on air with excitement and now here we are. And I'm very angry that nobody seems to care about his business conflicts of interest. And you know, everything else.

I love Charles Shaughnessy but I feel this way too. It seems like he is suppressing the urge to giggle in his scenes. Still love seeing him though! And Kim too - nobody cried and sold sadness like Patsy Pease did back in the day. And WOW to that Steve and Kayla love scene. Broken record here, but no soap couple sells it like they do. There have been a lot of other couples that I have loved through the years, from other shows too, and nobody does it like these two. It's just different, whatever they got (MBE & SN). Just makes me sad that 30 years have passed. 30 years!

Yes! I cannot calm down. No, I am not crying in a ball in a corner of the room. I am angry and frustrated! And very scared. And the weight of it all is tremendous.

Considering his campaign manager just said that its up to Clinton and Obama to calm down the protestors, who are, you know, paid protestors....I'm not too hopeful.

And we are being told we are overreacting. This sent chills through to my bones.

I said this to someone the other day. As a New Yorker, he has been in my news my whole life, and I believe that he wanted to lose, complain about losing, start his TV network, make YUGE amounts of money, be on TV, preach to his followers to applause and chants...he does not want this job. He also wants to live in his golden tower. But he would never show "weakness", BUT he would say a family member is ill/unwell and he must step down to care for him/her (barf).

I'm tossing my New Balance.

Thank you, Vmepicgrl, for such a thoughtful post. In so many places we are already being told to stop whining, that it's never going to happen. But everything you said put it perfectly. I don't have enough fingers to count all of my grandmother's siblings, aunts, uncles, father.... that were killed in the camps. We do not know where this is going for sure, but we cannot say that these people who will be in positions of power and influence don't want us gone, whatever that may mean. To see current pictures of swastikas in my Facebook feed...I don't know what to say to anyone who has no empathy for that.

This has been in my head as well. I do not want to ever see them in the White House. It is unreal, except it is.

I think hugs all around.

Yes :(

This 110% I cannot believe that I didn't mention this in my original reply.

What he did years ago to the Central Park 5 wrongly accused men...and then he reiterated his stance a few weeks ago about INNOCENT BLACK MEN was vile. And racist.

Thank you! I sincerely hope with all my heart that you stay safe. That we all do, but I am seriously doubting that we will. His TWEET is scary. I never liked Bush, but I never, EVER, was scared like this. I would never be feeling these things if Mitt Romney had won 4 years ago. Sure, I would not have liked it, but it would have been normal politics. This is not, and the media is starting to normalize what happened and is happening and it is so dangerous.

I feel like I'm going crazy, and then I feel like I'm not. I could not sleep last night thinking about Germany. (I'm Jewish and my family has a strong history with the holocaust. And you know what, I'm kind of scared that I'm posting this.) Trump passing me by on the street doesn't scare me, but the people around him, the ones who helped him win this and who are going to be pulling the strings, probably front and center...no hiding anymore...are really terrifying. So, should I not be posting that? I'm asking for real. Because I'm really scared. As my husband said, we're not on the top of the list, but we're on the list.

Aside from my children, this is the only thing to make me smile in the last 48 hours. Thank you.

I'm pretty much done with the show except for the rare Steve and Kayla scenes, which apparently I should watch. You guys are all smarter than the writers!

That article is sad, frightening, heart breaking, and absolutely true. I am terrified.

I hope it helps - you are not alone. This is me.

Yes. And my friend was told, this is not like Hitler so stop being dramatic. My head is going to explode.

THIS! ABSOLUTELY THIS!!! I am so frustrated by this crap that we are supposed to come together now - well, all I'm reading is about all the racist and anti semitic things being done across the country in his name. Come together - I don't even want to talk to my friend of 30 years because her husband is a trump bully to the highest point. And I don't believe for a second that she didn't vote for him even though she told me that she was not going to. How horrible he was. Until our last conversation a couple of days before the election where it turned into...well, we will have to support whoever wins...ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? You support him, then your values are skewed and I want no part of you. And people don't want to hear people like us WHINING anymore. So we're supposed to shut up and ignore all the hate that has been mainstreamed. Screw you.

I want to vomit at the picture of Obama with that piece of nothing at the White House. Disgusting

No, life will not go back to normal for many, many Americans. The alternative is to keep our voices loud and clear that his racism and misogyny are not okay.
