Long hours in the afternoon in front of a television (we didn't have cable, the horrors!! :P) with a nursing baby, the soaps kept me entertained.Kimberly Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393537529349019301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-52842132820846984722011-04-20T14:57:18.083-05:002011-04-20T14:57:18.083-05:00Not to mention the likes of "Jerry Springer&q...Not to mention the likes of "Jerry Springer" and all the reality shows . . . <br /><br />My paternal grandmother was so addicted to the soaps, when visiting her house we (adults and children) were not allowed to speak during the afternoon hours when her "shows" were on.Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-90130400031747261792011-04-20T08:34:29.406-05:002011-04-20T08:34:29.406-05:00I used to watch General Hospital the summer I baby...I used to watch General Hospital the summer I babysat (about 8th grade) Can't say that I have seen one since, so maybe its time for different daytime programing.

I wonder what she'd think now!? :-) Whatever will they fill the time slots with? Talk shows? Reality shows? All in all we're probably not better off! :-D<br />Blessings,<br />Mary LouMary Lou Casadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918932281509702766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-5998981771357534912011-04-20T07:09:01.144-05:002011-04-20T07:09:01.144-05:00Reality has become stranger than fiction.

I just turn the tube off and listen to my sewing machine hum :)Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315756377179677320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-47651042317746503992011-04-20T05:23:09.090-05:002011-04-20T05:23:09.090-05:00The soaps provided such a great escape from the RE...The soaps provided such a great escape from the REAL drama!
