9:58 am

hurshy

i know approximately zero about soap operas

10:00 am

hokie carla

well,I know you didn't watch as much tv as I did when I was a kid. I had an older brother who watched Y&R and got me into it, and then later my neighbor & I watched that and Bold & the Beautiful and Santa Barbara. latchkey kids.

10:00 am

hurshy

in our house, soap operas in particular were considered trashy

10:01 am

hokie carla

at one point my neighbor got a radio that played tv stations and we would take it to the pool in the summer and listen to them so we wouldn't miss anything.

10:01 am

origami

This trashy latchkey kid watched All My Children.

10:01 am

hokie carla

I think in any house soap operas were incredibly trashy

10:01 am

hokie carla

hey ori

10:01 am

origami

Hi hokie

10:02 am

hokie carla

my grandmother used to call them her stories. "my stories are on"

10:02 am

hurshy

not even in the like "ooh this is appealing because it's forbidden way"... i would have looked down on myself if i had watched soap operas. we should probably study the psychology of how my parents achieved that so we could expand it to broader parenting purposes.

10:03 am

hokie carla

if it makes you feel better I tried to get back into them after I became a stay at home mom and just couldn't

10:03 am

hurshy

i don't feel bad about it lol

10:04 am

hokie carla

Y&R is one of the few ones left. My SIL still watches it when she gets home from work so my brother still knows a general idea of what's going on.

10:04 am

hurshy

i do think there are certain things that if you don't try them before a certain age, you will never like them. like sugary cereals. my mom never bought them. one day when i was like 13 we got a sample pack of 6 cereals in the mail. when i tried a sugary one i was like, "people EAT this for BREAKFAST??"

10:05 am

hokie carla

I still love a good bowl of sugary cereal

10:05 am

hurshy

but you had them prior to age 13 i suppose?

10:06 am

hokie carla

fyi, I'm pretty sure I used to drink coke out of a baby bottle, so yeah

10:07 am

hokie carla

and my brothers are 9 and 4 years older than me, so they were mostly in charge of me after my mom went back to work when I started K

10:08 am

hurshy

i hope they were nice to you

10:08 am

hokie carla

which is how I got to watch things like Fri the 13th when I was like 8

10:09 am

hokie carla

uhhh, the middle one & I fought a lot but I guess they were okay most of the time.

10:11 am

hokie carla

we had a lot of neighbors and played a lot of group sports like baseball and football. and then there were board games and video games and Barbies (with my one neighbor). good times.

10:13 am

hokie carla

2-2-2

10:15 am

hokie carla

0-1-2 all 4th row

10:19 am

hokie carla

interestingly, the irish word (alt sp here btw) is a synonym for hex

10:26 am

BzznBea

seems to be a straight forward grid.

10:40 am

MollyL

I don't think enjoying soap operas should be looked down on.

10:41 am

MollyL

Or trashy

10:46 am

hokie carla

definitely trashy but not as trashy as some reality tv

10:46 am

hokie carla

H O P left here

10:47 am

BzznBea

days of our lives had a large following in the student union at college. lots of people scheduled their classes around it.

10:57 am

hokie carla

my mom watched that before she went back to work. I still remember "like sands through the hourglass".

1:33 pm

dcseain

also a former religious sect, apparently.

1:34 pm

hokie carla

yeah, snake worshippers, always fun

1:35 pm

dcseain

There was a snake-handling, speak-in-tongues congregation in my home town called the Pine Grove Free Will Baptist Church.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

we definitely had them in the county

1:38 pm

hokie carla

but my home town it is less than 2 sq miles, so I would've known if there was one in the town.

1:38 pm

dcseain

most where I grew up attended Mormon, Catholic, mainstream Baptist, or UMC.

1:39 pm

dcseain

it's kinda surprising to me how much louder it is here in the basement when the HVAC is running.

1:40 pm

hokie carla

we had one UMC and 2 baptist churches in my town. one first baptist and I'm not sure what the other was classified as. it was off the main road so I didn't see it much.

1:41 pm

hokie carla

I never met a catholic or a jewish person until college.

1:41 pm

dcseain

60% of all Jews in the DC area live here in Northern VA, and are less observant than the ones in DC and MD.

1:43 pm

dcseain

that I know of, there are two Reform, one Reconstructionist, and one Conservative Jewish congregation in my area.

1:44 pm

dcseain
