I was under the impression that lots of people loved TWOP. They loved reading the stuff the next day especially. I have no idea what it was like. How long did it last?
I liked it but I found some of the posters to be a bit clique-ish. They did have really good recaps and some of the forums were really fun. I wasn't there long enough to get banned but I probably would have been eventually if the stuff I've been admonished about over here is anything to go by.

I think that's due to confidentiality concerns, at least as far as medical stuff is concerned. E-mail is considered to be less secure than the PO & FAX (& maybe it is),
My financial people and my attorney will never talk about anything via email. Phone or in-person only. I guess that's why business deals on done on golf courses.

Yes, I knew you cannot put a mod on ignore. I had an issue with a (hopefully now former) mod in one the forums that got sunsetted last year, and had to report one of their replies to me that was way out of line and very hurtful. I mentioned that I could not ignore them because they were a mod. I'm still a bit pissed that I never received an apology from whichever mod received that report or from the old community manager. And as far as I could tell, nothing was done to the mod for that reply.
Craziness. I guess it's easy for some people to become power mad when given even the teeniest bit of control.

Can’t believe it’s been ten years since I posted on the Gilmore Girls, View, and Duggars (mostly small talk….I think they had that??) TWOP threads. Seems like yesterday.
God, I wish they'd bring Gilmore Girls back to cable. I could watch it a zillion times. It's one of my comfort shows.

High five, Sister Friend. I'm kind of proud of mine. If you haven't got anything nice to say, come sit right here by me.

In this the year 2024, a large government agency having a short, simple form that only be faxed or mailed, no option to fill it out online.
I know I'm a big old dinosaur but I love fax machines. I always will.

I know it's easy to say "don't feel bad" but I do mean it. I have found on other places on the internet that when a forum of any sort has been around for awhile you will find posters who think they are the owners and moderators. They will swoop in to "correct" posters who err in whatever way and police the tone. And sometimes the owner or moderator of that place will side with those posters, other times those posters are firmly handled. It really just depends on the forum.
I've got three big red warnings on this site. I don't dare tell you about them but they're still in my profile.

My middle name is ellipsis! I'm surprised I wasn't banned for life at twop...🙄
@peacheslatour Great minds run in the same circle. I use a neutral name on Reddit (but I'm only hanging out at the Seinfeld section...those posters make me laugh!) At the Washington Post, I use initials & an area code. Back before AOL started moderating comments, it was too dangerous to let anyone know you were female. The men were vicious. Again, I used initials and frequently was addressed as "Sir" followed by indignant responses to my posts...😁
Yeah, on Reddit I get "Dude,..." a lot. OH NO! I used an ellipsis. *looks around apprehensively*

I looked at that board this morning. Some of us are still posting here. Some even have the same names.
I'm still using the same name. I got into that site because there was a guy (I wish I could remember his name) who did hilarious re-caps for Bates Motel. I noticed that they had forums and I was lost forever.

Somehow I learned that she had taken her screen name from the character Kay Howard on Homicide: Life on the Street, played by Melissa Leo, a character I loved on a show I loved. I hated knowing that, because I did not love Mod Howard.
I have a dude's name on Reddit. Cuts way down on the harassment.

I watched Lady's Man last night. Raul Esparza as an ADA who worked with and framed Eames on an old case. I know a lot of people think he's hot but I never will after seeing that ep. I did love the way Bobby, when he went to cuff him said "Hold still sweetie." and then he handed the cuffs to Eames.

We think she might have had her kittens last week. She's been smaller since then. No telling where they might be under the house.
What a pretty girl. I hope the babies are okay.

This picture was from last year after we got her hair cut. She's had her good and bad days this past year. But they think she might have been run over by a UPS truck today. 😐
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet pup. Bless you for taking her in.

Back in 2001, I had just arrived in Stockholm & wasn't feeling well. The hotel staff sent me to a special drug store for info' or advice. I went there & they told me to go to a clinic at 5 PM. I went, had tests done & saw a (very cute!) doctor. He wanted to prescribe an antibiotic so I got out my list of the ones I can handle. But they were brand names & he needed the pharmaceutical name. He gave me a Rx for one (costs me $12.00) but I felt woozy the next day. Did some research on the hotel's computer (pre-laptop, smartphone) & got the generic names of the drugs I took at home. Went back the next day & got a familiar Rx ($12.00 again, thank you Sweden! 🇸🇪) and had a good vacation. After that I've always traveled with a list of Rx's with the proper names.
That's really smart! I never would have thought of that.

Nope. Just was at the Urologist for a dialation. He always takes a sample. No UTI. I go like every 5 months for dialation. That’s lots of fun ..NOT. It’s a stretching of the Urethra. With 4 or 5 instruments one at a time. Yikes!
Yikes is right! Wow. I had a plugged bartholin gland once and they had to put a balloon in there for about two weeks. So much fun.

That was a creepy scene, I think she said “this won’t hurt at all. Do you remember the first time you told me that?” I guess referring to when Tommy first molested her. Very creepy. And yeah Beatrice was so screwed up from all that Tommy had done I don’t know if she would ever be okay. Tommy was just pure evil. I wonder if Tommy had more victims he assaulted besides Beatrice and Duke’s wife, it wouldn’t shock me.
It wouldn't shock me either. I bet the turnover of waitresses at his restaurant was something for the record books.

I agree I couldn’t get a good read on Duke or his wife - how did Duke not see what a sociopathic piece of crap Tommy was? And why did his wife not report Tommy for rape? It seemed like they should’ve done more to protect Beatrice from Tommy, I think the wife at least had to have an idea of what was going on, she knew Tommy was a predator, I guess the wife just didn’t want to deal with Tommy or Beatrice and so she moved out of the city, but she should’ve reported Tommy and maybe she could’ve prevented him from continue to molest his daughter.
I loved the final confrontation between Goren/Eames and Tommy, Tommy became instantly smug and Beatrice became fearful when they pretended they couldn’t prove the metal had been in Josh’s leg, it was the only way to expose what had happened and then they produced the actual serial number and nailed Tommy. Tommy was truly one of CI’s worst villains. I doubt Beatrice would ever be okay after all she had been put through.Yeah, I think Beatrice would need extensive therapy, you could tell she was never really going to be able to handle life on her own after what Tommy did to her. It kind of freaked me out when she was applying lemon juice to his cut. She said something like "Do you remember the first time you did this to me?" How sick is that?

Season 4 was on BBC America yesterday - Death Roe is a pretty grim episode, Tommy is one of the most evil villains on CI IMO, committed two brutal murders just to get his son in law out of the way so he could keep on raping his daughter - what an absolute piece of human scum. As Goren said, he was an ogre. It’s a great episode and I loved Goren/Eames getting the upper hand on Tommy at the end and Goren getting under Tommy’s skin in the kitchen at the end was vintage Goren. Very compelling case and investigation, I liked seeing Goren/Eames go to the fish market and the restaurants. I did think Tommy did a lot in one night - committing the two murders, putting Josh’s body through the meat grinder, and ditching the motorcycle - they did address that plot point with Carver but it was still a lot, surprised no one saw Tommy somewhere.
And did Tommy kill Beatrice’s mother also? They never said under what circumstances she died, but it wouldn’t shock me if he did.
It’s a great episode with a memorable villain.Ex Stasis was next, another strong episode with a compelling villain with the organ donor killing someone he deemed “unworthy” of having his organ and arranging it so someone he thought was more deserving got it. He was a fucked up perp as well, I liked how they were able to nail him.
What I didn't get was why the friend's wife let Tommy get away with raping her. I would have screamed bloody murder if that creep tried that shit with me and even though her husband was a useless milquetoast, she should have called the cops. I loved the part where they pretended that the serial number for the SIL's metal rod was lost and then..oops! Here it is!

@RealHousewife, I know this probably won't help, but I've found that the first 2 to 3 months of a new job really make you miss the old job, no matter how much you think you didn't like it. Then, one day, it's all better. I hope this works out for you!!
That has been my experience as well. I would give it some more time. But seriously, don't go in the basement.🕷️

I know I posted a lot about how bad things at my old job got, but I'm still adjusting to my new place. On one hand, I'm grateful to be someplace where I'm not harassed, paid fairly, no bullying, nothing all that bad. There are many positives. But some days I feel so alone and miss all the good of my old job and other previous jobs.
There were people I truly cared about at my last job, even loved. I miss them SO much. I'm a single woman with a small group of family and friends. I'm also shy and anxious, so I turn down a lot of social things when I'm invited even if I wish I could get myself out there. I didn't realize how much I relied on work for my social outlet. My body confidence has gotten better, but still a work in progress, so I'm leery of dating.
I spend my days in the office working alone for the most part. Every now and then my supervisor might stop by to help, but I wondered if I'm a nuisance to her because she doesn't respond to most of my emails.
I'm not getting the proper training from her at my new job. I've had mostly good supervisors/trainers throughout the years who were very happy to help me. There were usually others around to help out too if I needed anything.
At my new job, there aren't as many people with the company period, and we're all pretty spread apart in the building. I barely interact with another human, much less have any familiar faces or friends I could go to if I need something.
I guess it is a bittersweet feeling. I still have gratitude and am trying to be positive. I've joined a gym more for my mental health than for any fitness goals. But boy, I didn't expect to be crying due to loneliness.
That doesn't sound like a very healthy workplace. It reminds me of the build up in a horror movie actually, only instead of an old house it's an office. Don't go in the basement, whatever you do. I'm so sorry to hear this, I wish we all lived together sometimes so we could open a bottle of wine and vent to our heart's content.

I have to admit, I've vanished from some topics. I was a die hard Young and The Restless poster, in fact I came over from TwOP when it moved here. One day I just didn't feel like watching it any more and felt I had nothing to contribute. I did have some good buddies there but we all have each others email and I let them know so they didn't wonder. I left the Commercials topic because it's so over-moderated, it wasn't fun any more. I love it here because we are fairly self moderating and it's so much better.

Well, guess I’m not there yet. No liners yet. I only feel the urgency, then go into the bathroom and about 8 drops come out. If the bladder dropped, the doctor would have told me .. right? Lovely. Guess more surprises to come. Hope our Mod isn’t a guy, lol. 😅
Oh who cares, guys are human beings with bodies too. If you feel the need to pee and only a few drops come out, that sounds like a UTI to me. Time for some Cipro?

I miss watching things like The Closer, with my mum. I was just saying yesterday, I miss going downstairs and her being somewhere there. After she lost her business in the crash in 2007, she would come upstairs in the middle of the night, when she couldn’t sleep. I knew about one of those dodgy sites to watch shows on - I think that was one of them, in 2008 - and one had The Closer, and that’s where she started to watch it. We then DVR’d the rest, every season. Same with Medium, Burn Notice, etc.
when I was a teenager, we watched the English shows on PBS, as a family. I can’t watch them anymore. We used to share books, too.
Chicricket knows my discord name, and that’s my instagram, too.
We loved Burn Notice. I wish they would put it rotation like Law & Order and Columbo.

Controlling the bladder. Lately, I’m up like four times a night.
I was there about 5 years ago. Then I tried using tampons to slow it down and that worked for a while. Now I have to wear pads. I use Always pads because the minute I stand up, if I have to go, I'm already going. I still get up at night because no matter what they claim, you're not going to continue with the same pad after it gets wet, that simply does not work. I felt bad about it at first but then I remembered that I have been putting pads and plugs down there since I was about eleven. The joys of being a woman.
