Stupid People Doing Stupid Things !

I guess it's good I haven't gotten to know most of my neighbors, because they keep getting hauled away.

One of my neighbors, we'll call him Mr B is a very sweet 75 year old man. He starts his day off with a cup of coffee and the rest of the day he drinks beer, until the evening when he often switches to Vodka. Needless to say I try and chat with him in the mornings. Mr B usually spends his day making rounds to various neighbors to say hi and see if he can do anything to help them. He really is a sweetie with a heart of gold, even if he would probably bleed beer from all the drinking. My mom was here for Christmas one year and questioned how old Mr B was, when I told her she responded "the alcohol sure has preserved him well". Which was a good point since most alcoholics look way older than they are, and Mr. B looks younger than he is.

Survivor Nicaraga

Well I haven't commented on the last couple of episodes, because there really hasn't been anything to report.

This show is really going down hill fast.

I mean you've got Naonka stealing the flour and farting. Ain't she just a star!

Congratulations Brad Keselowski !

Woo Hoo! Congratulations Brad on a job well done.

Congratulations on your Nascar Nationwide title! Your the man!

You have fought long and hard for this title. It is well deserved.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 7

I am totally bored with this show, I'm not sure why I'm still watching it. So yes, I put off watching it until I had nothing else to watch, which is today.

Hope something interesting happens tonight.

Ohhhh! Poor Chase! Not a good place to get hit.

Something Thinks Its Moving In !

For the last five years or so, I've been trying to grow my own vegetables, unsuccessfully, for one reason or another. This year I started hand pollinating and actually have about twenty green peppers on 7 or 8 plants. I'm so excited. 

I go outside last night to empty the litter box; I'm hosing it out and think I'd better water the green peppers, still no rain. I aim the hose at the plant pot and notice the pot is half empty. All of the plants on the left hand side of the pot were broken off, but the broken off pieces were missing. Very odd, I said a few curse words and went back in the house.

My Thoughts On Today's Soaps 10/26/2010

Bold & Beautiful

Brendan, really that was just lame! Shouldn't he be in school. Didn't like him before, still don't.

Amber, seriously? I can't believe she thinks she is going to get away with stealing designs, and what happened to the kid she left Genoa City with?

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 6

Wow surprise again, two getting voted out tonight. At least they are mixing it up some.

Go Holly and Jill!

Marty, Marty, Marty your the one that decided it was a smart move to tell everyone you had the idol. So deal with it!

Kelly B. is gone, the plan to get the hidden immunity idol used didn't work. Marty certainly got a heart check, probably messed in his drawers.

Yve also voted off.

Janet Napolitano - The View - Illegal Immigrants Someone please explain...

I just watched The View. Janet Napolitano was on and they were discussing illegal immigrants. Janet says when someone is arrested databases are checked to see if they are wanted for other crimes. This makes sense. Then she says now when someone is arrested the immigration database is checked to see if they are here illegally. This also makes sense. Then she says if they are here illegally they are deported “after” they have served their time. That makes me crazy!

Sybil

This is an older flick from 1976. Maybe some of you remember it. I had watched this many years ago, but decided to watch it again. It is based on a true story about a woman named Sybil Dorsett who had multiple personality disorder with at least 16 different personalities (now known as DID). Sally Field plays Sybil and Joanne Woodard her psychiatrist and some of you may recognize Natasha Ryan (Hope) from Days of Our Lives who plays little Sybil.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 5

I can’t believe Marty thinks he is in control of that tribe.

LOL, so much for your plans Marty and Naonka!

Tyrone is cracking me up, but he’s going to get himself in trouble.

Legends of The Fall

An excellent movie about family, war, love and a bear.  Starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Julia Ormond, Aidan Quinn, and Henry Thomas.

Somewhat of a tearjerker, but still very good movie. Based on the book.

Definitely a 5 star movie.

Mission Of The Shark: Saga of The USS Indianapolis

A true wartime drama based on actual events starring Stacy Keach, Richard Thomas and David Caruso.

The USS Indianapolis is the ship that delivered the atomic bomb that would be used to destroy Hiroshima. After completing this mission, the ship is hit with a Japanese torpedo.  Due to the secrecy of the mission their rescue is delayed for five days and the shipwrecked sailors have to fight to stay alive in the Philippine Sea.

This movie was filmed in 1991. At first glance I thought boy these guys look young, then I realized 1991 was almost twenty years ago not ten. LOL

I give this one 3.5 stars.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 4

This show really doesn't do a good job of keeping my attention anymore. I'm really not sure why I'm watching it.

I find it hard to believe they can't find food. If it were me, I think I'd be following those monkeys to see what they are eating. There has got to be food on the island besides fish.

Temple Grandin - Awesome Movie

This is a movie based on a real life person. Temple Grandin is a woman with Autism - Aspergers who has a photographic memory and appears to eat only yogurt, pudding and green Jell-O.

This is an incredible story. Temple Grandin started college in the late ‘60’s and not only had to deal with her Autism - Aspergers but being discriminated against because she is a woman. Despite all this she accomplishes amazing things. Just to name a few without giving away too much about the movie. She receives her Doctoral degree, invents the hug machine, is published in many magazines, and has published a couple of books.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 3

I love Jimmy Johnson talking to the monkeys.

Naonka is one the nastiest people I've seen since Brittney and Monet. I don't understand why people have to personally attack other people.

Jimmy Johnson was voted out.

Fairly boring episode, except for Naonka attacking the fruit basket to get a clue she doesn't know how to decipher.

It will be interesting to see if some of the big mouths on the older team will be able to put their money where their mouth is. They seem to think they are so much better than Jimmy, yet they are the ones that pretty much put Jimmy J in the leader position, which I think was done in part so they could blame him for the loses.

I think it time for some people on the older team to put up or shut up.

This Always Makes Me Laugh

I just love this picture so I thought I would share it with you. 

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

I probably would not have picked this movie to watch had someone not recommended it to me, just because I don't usually care for musicals. This was evidently written during the 2008 writers strike and originally debuted as an online mini series.

It is a short 42 minute quirky musical starring Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer and Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible. Both fall in love with the same girl played by Felicia Day.

This movie mad me laugh out loud several times. If you need a good laugh this will do it.

I give it 5 stars just for the laughing.

And Then There Was One

This is a movie based on a real life story. Stars Amy Madigan and Dennis Boutsikaris. It is about a couple who try for years to get pregnant. They finally have a baby girl and soon discover she has AIDS. Needless to say this is a heartbreaking story.

Since I love movies based on real life I give it a 4 star.

Rahm Emanuel To Resign

I just heard Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff, is going to resign so that he can be Mayor of Chicago.

I also heard he is responsible for helping to get the Frank-Dodd Act and Health Care Reform Bill through.

Well if this is the case I say good riddance!

Thanks to the Frank-Dodd Act it now costs ten times more for Forex Trading.

The new "Health Care Reform", now means people who couldn't afford health insurance still won't be able to because they'll be too busy paying fines. 

So again, I say good riddance. This kind of help I don't need!

Tony Curtis Died

How sad. Tony Curtis has died at the age of 85. Tony evidently died of a heart attack at home on Wednesday.

I was just watching Jamie Lee on The Nate Berkus Show. Best wishes to all his family.

I Wish the Government Would Stop Trying To Help!

They just keep making things worse with all their helping.

I really wish the government would keep their hands out of my pockets! They have enough of my money, they don't know how to spend it and now they want control over how I spend what little they leave me.

Last year I moved my Forex account to Europe because of the new rules imposed by the US such as no hedging, and FIFO (First in First Out) rules.

Ahmadinejad Interview With Larry King - My Take

This guy is just creepy, weird, psycho. It's very scary he is President of anything.

He claims the US has over sanctioned Iran, that they have been under sanction for more than thirty years. He says they have been under sanctions for so long it doesn't matter anymore. They've become a stronger country because of the sanctions. Okay, he probably has a point about that. But if the sanctions don't matter why would he care if they are over sanctioned.

One Life To Live Recap, Fri Sept 24, 2010

Darren is at drivers ed class. I think the drivers ed teacher is either a robot or seriously stoned on something. Weird guy. He even talks like a robot. Destiny finally arrives, takes the car for a ride with Darren and the teacher. Come back to car speeding around the corner, brakes squealing and slides into parking lot perfectly. Destiny, did I drive the hell out of that course or what? The teacher looks like he wet his pants, Darren opens the door and throws up. ROFL Destiny is a future Nascar driver.  Destiny says it wasn't my fault. Those cones were way to close together. Teacher, if one of those cones were a person crossing the street. Destiny, but it wasn't so I didn't hit anyone. Teacher, not at that point but a few minutes later it was a different story. Destiny, what was that lady doing out on the course anyway. Darren, minding her own business. Destiny, whose side are you on? Teacher, its clear you are going to need some supplementary instruction, before and after school. Destiny rolls her eyes. Teacher, I'll see if there is another instructor. Destiny, geez I wasn't that bad was I? Darren, your an awesome driver, just a little distracted maybe. Destiny, I couldn't stop thinking about Greg, he's hiding something. Darren, what? Destiny, I don't know but I'm pretty sure its in a clinic over in Cherrydale.

Young & Restless Recap, Friday Sept 24, 2010

Skye goes to Billy and wants him to put her on the cover. LOL Skye thinks she's a female Warren Buffet. She wants to be on the cover alone. Billy, will it piss Adam off. Skye, might. Billy, bonus for me.  Victoria comes in. Billy tells her about Skye. Victoria says now that we are married I thought you were going to cut the crap. Why don't you just rename the magazine Newman Style and not report on anything else. You do know that now that we are married you are attacking your own relatives. She is exploiting our name for her own gain. You are giving them free publicity, what will my dad think? Billy, I don't care what Victor thinks, I can't think about that, he's going to think what he thinks. Victoria, you should care. You know how he feels about Adam and if he thinks your helping him he's going to come down that much harder on us. Billy, wow! you sound like the old Victoria, daddy, daddy, daddy. What's daddy going to think? I thought you were going to take control of your life. Victoria, you are so right. The same knee jerk reaction. Victoria, I just have one question though. Did you just say that Skye was beautiful? Billy, no. Victoria, I think you did.

General Hospital Recap, Thur Sept 23, 2010

Diane and Max. Max thinks Diane should keep quite about something. Diane thinks if Sonny breaks Claire's heart she will go after him. Sonny comes in. Diane tells Sonny Claire Walsh is the least of his worries and hands him an envelope. Sonny opens it and starts laughing. Diane, your since of humor mystifies me. Sonny, look at Jason's face. He looks like he's being tortured, and then Brenda of course is loving every minute of it. Brenda is a target right now. Jason probably went to protect her. Diane, now would be a good time to remind you of the age old tradition of falling in love with ones bodyguard. Sonny, Brenda is not falling in love with Jason. What concerns me is that she called Jason as a last resort, so something is probably not good. Diane, if you are tempted to join the rescue party Claire will think you just slept just slept with her to get the charges dropped, and that hell has no fury etc. etc. She tanked her career for you. What better way to revive it than sending you to prison. Sonny, Claire and I have an understanding, we've made no promises. Diane, fine ignore my advice yet again, when Claire comes after you even I won't be able to save you.

One Life To Live Recap, Thur Sept 23, 2010

Langston is feeling bad about James. Dorian says when Ford kissed you, you were still his student right? So he brought this on himself. It is not your fault. Darling the only one you should be concerned about is you and sometimes there is collateral damage.

Nick, dad you know I am no fan of Billy's but he is no Adam. Adam comes into bar. Victor, no he's in a class all by himself. Jack comes up to Adam at the bar. Shouldn't leave the wifey alone, no telling what kind of trouble she'll get into. Adam, you don't think I know what your doing with Skye. It's pathetic and ain't going to work.

Survivor Episode 2

That little Holly has a temper first throwing out the snails then drowning the shoes. Then she confesses to it?

Now Nayonka is getting upset cause someone took her sock. It was probably a monkey. Now she just steals someone elses. That's pretty rude.

That was nice of Jimmy J to convince Holly to stay. One coach to another. Pretty clear who the stronger coach is.

The older tribe wins immunity and fishing gear. So now both teams have fishing gear and fire. Like I said camping. There's no surviving here they get handed everything. Guess next week they'll get soap and shampoo.

The Digital Age and the Death of Books Continues

On Monday I wrote an article wondering if the digital age would be the death of books.

Just now I turned on CNN and they were talking to Stephen King. They asked him if  he thought books would go all digital. It sounded like he thinks they will but he didn't want to say it out loud. He did say the futures going to be what the futures going to be. He also said that if you drop a book in the toilet you can fish it out, dry it off and read it. If you drop your Kindle in the toilet your done. I hadn't thought of that one.

I Really Liked The New Hawaii Five-0

It's been many years since I watched the original Hawaii Five-0.

Other than the names and being in Hawaii, I'm not remembering a lot of similarities in the two shows. The characters look a little like the old characters. I don't remember a woman being on the team. I also didn't remember McGarrett being a pilot and having a team with pretty much full reign to do what he wants.

I was a little kid last time Hawaii Five-0 was on so it could just be I don't remember, could be they changed it for the new show.

Regardless I really enjoyed the first episode. Looks promising.

General Hospital Recap, Monday Sept 20, 2010

Dante takes Spinelli's computer. Spinelli, I beg your pardon. That is most rude and presumptuous. Not that I'm surprised considering the source. But you have no right. Dante this is one of the most dangerous criminals in the world. Spinelli, GIVE IT BACK! Dante, not too many people draw the attention of the Balkin and live to tell about it. I love Spinelli! 

Dante, its not that hard to figure out really. Maybe Sonny wants to work with the Balkin or maybe the Balkin is moving in on Sonny's territory and he's gearing up to defend it. For it not being to hard to figure out he is way off base. Spinelli, I will not divulge privileged confidential information, especially to you. Dante, you people have no idea who you are dealing with. Spinelli, True. I never heard mention of the Balkin until I was asked to research him. He's somewhat of a legend in Europe but virtually unheard of in the states, so how would you a lowly New York cop come to know of a man like this. Dante, I'm a cop, the son of a mobster, its my job to know the where abouts either here or abroad. Could you just tell me if you found something. Spinelli, If I had I wouldn't share it with you. Dante, We were on the same side with this.

Spinelli, You seem to think that your betrayals carry some kind of expiration date, that over time all should be forgiven, but the repercussions of your gross misdeeds continue to reverberate. Young Sir was sent to prison. Stonecold was forced to follow to ensure Michael's safety. Heinous events occurred all of which you are responsible for. Dante, That was the biggest regret of my life so far. If I could take it back I would. But since that's not a possibility, I've done everything in my power to make it right, I got Michael out of prison. I got the charges against Sonny in Johnny's shooting dropped. Don't you think I deserve a couple of check marks in the plus column. Spinelli, I see how you do it. The affable mean, the feigned honesty, I mean its quite appealing to the unexpected. And fair Lulu she still has no idea what a smooth liar you are. Or how easily you could just drop kick her heart. Spinelli goes to door and opens it. Dante, I love Lulu and she means everything to me, I would lay down my life for her in a heart beat if I had too. Spinelli, I sincerely hope fair Lulu comes to her senses one day and leaves you. So that you can experience the broken heart that you so richly deserve. Dante leaves. Oh, I'm so proud of Spinelli, remember when he first came he would talk to people and get all flustered and give up stuff without meaning to. He just seriously went a round with Dante and didn't tell him a dang thing, and he told him off pretty good in the process too.

Lucky still on the phone with Babak while someone is banging on the door. Babak tells him the Balkin is coming there. Its Siobhan telling him he has to leave right away. Ronan tells Siobhan to leave if the men from the restaurant see her, they'll know she came to warn him. She won't leave without him. Says he's a miracle. He's not a heartless assassin anymore. Siobhan pulls a gun, says she can pull her own weight.  Ronan tells her put it away. She kisses him and leaves. Hmmm This Sibohan reminds me of Sibohan Ryan on Ryan's hope. Ronan calls Dante tells him is going to meet the Balkin. Dante tells him screw what interpol says get the hell out of there. Knock on door. Three guys come in put a hood of Ronan's head and take him out. I'm thinking Siobhan is outside and going to follow them, she doesn't seem like the kind to do what she is told.

Sonny and Claire are making out. I'm feeling no chemistry here, actually it's kind a grossing me out. weird. OMG he actually said was it good for you. Claire tells him for all the money, wives, women and children he has. He is the loneliest man she ever met. I'm really not liking these to together, sorry, this is just bad.

Jason, I'm hear to make sure you don't get yourself killed and I don't do parties. Brenda says its not work its a gala. Do you know what that word means? Geez Brenda what a brat. Jason says he's not going and neither is she. Suzanne arrives, Jason tells her Brenda's not going. Suzanne suggests Jason talks to security. They have implemented several of his ideas. Jason leaves. Suzanne thinks he is very talented. Brenda thinks Suzanne has the hots for Jason. LOL Suzanne says Jason's cuddly ROFL She likes him. Jason, comes back and says Brenda still can't go. Suzanne explains the importance of the gala. Jason apologizes to Brenda.

Carly/Jax. I'm really tired of these two. Make up your mind already. Ok Jax is moving back in.

 Max still in blue looking good. Diane has papers for Sonny to sign. Max says Sonny's not around. They go out to terrace and see the candle light dinner, Diane says Sonny's either taken his seduction elsewhere or Claire Walsh finally got wise and Sonny's off tracking her down. Max rubbing Diane's shoulders. Diane, either way thats a lovely table. Max, shame to see it all go to waste. Diane, who says it has too? Diane and Max are eating Sonny and Claires dinner Diane says she has mixed feelings. On the one hand my shoe closet and I would have adored all of those billable hours we would have racked up if Sonny would have gone to trial for shooting Johnny Z. Then my ego would have been enormously gratified had I wiped the floor with that self righteous Claire Walsh. LOL On the other hand I realize its better for all concerned the charges were dropped especially for the children. Max, I'm really surprised Sonny came back at all. Diane you know why he came back don't you? Because Brenda Barrett turned him away. Sonny turned up torch flaring and Brenda had put hers out a long time ago. Max, I only met Brenda once but wow she does leave an impression. God that womans hot I mean for real. Probably the sexiest woman I.... Ohhhh foot in mouth Max Diane laughing. Max, what I meant was except for you of course. Diane, yes. Max, its a different class of hotness altogether. Doesn't compare. Diane, I suggest you start immediately start trying to convince me of that. Max gets up and goes to other side of table and kisses her. These two I love, complete opposites, but they crack me up.

Dante calls a friend at his old precinct to get information. Tells him he needs it ASAP someones life depends on it.  Lulu walks in on conversation. Dante tells Lulu whats going on. Lulu, you think something bad is going to happen to my brother. Dante says the Balkin is like a walking death sentence. Lulu asks him if he's ever dealt with the Balkin. Dante, I was involved on a case peripherally that involved the Balkin, what I do know is that he is violent, unpredictable and elusive. Lulu how is Ronan involved with the Balkin. Dante, just speculation I m guessing they were working together, fell out of favor, if the Balkin gets his hands on Lucky there's no telling what will happen. 

Carly tells Michael she is not threatened by Brenda Barrett. Jax comes in with a smiley faced pizza. Carly tells them now that they are a family again. Total honesty. Morgan, now that you are back together again, Jax will be my stepdad again. So there's no reason for him to adopt me right?

Jason is in a tux. Brenda asks Jason to at least say hi, how are you back to people. Brenda tries to fix his tie. Jason, says don't touch. LOL

Ronan is in a warehouse type room hands tied behind his back. Not looking good for him.

Sonny and Claire come downstairs to eat and walk in on Max and Diane on the floor of the terrace. Sonny, this is my house, my food what are you doing here? Claire says looks like someones been eating your porridge. Diane, I guess congratulations are in order. Sonny has slept with the prosecutor which means he's effectively weakened her to the point where she can not go up against him in court. You do realize don't you that you just got played. Zing! All this while in her bra hopping around on one shoe.

Jason and Brenda arrive at gala, they are in the limo camera lights flashing outside and Brenda starts saying oh no, no, no, no. The corsett just came undone underneath my dress. Jason, I don't even know what that is. Brenda, just unzip the top of my dress and reconnect the corset. Jason, my job is to make sure you stay alive. I don't fix dresses. LOL  Brenda, oh no Ernesto going to be so mad please please. Jason gets out of the car. Paparazzi everywhere.  He goes around to the other side of car to get Brenda out. They pose for pictures. Hmm no picture of him fixing her corset to make Sam jealous?

So I've been thinking about the Balkin and today I'm really leaning towards it being Alcazar. If I remember correctly didn't Jason help Skye kill Alcazar? So he should be good and dead right, but this is a soap after all.  I'm thinking Alcazar had world wide connections, he was evil enough to act like Dante portrays him. It could be him.  And where is Skye she was in town, then she was gone, did she tell anyone she was leaving? She disappeared about the same time Luke did now that I think about it. Hmmmm the unanswered questions.

 

One Life To Live Recap, Monday Sept 20, 2010

James tells Starr it was Langston with Ford. James say he's learned not to count on anything. Now that Bobby lost his job he lost his chance to go to college. Guess he should have applied for the grant. James says his dad was right all he is good for is stealing cars. Starr says your right you are a good car thief, and if that's what you want to do then good luck, but if you want something more your going to have to fight for it. Starr tells James to apply for a grant, she will help him. James is going to apply for the life grant again. The same one Gigi was applying for.

Langston tells Ford she was the one who gave the dean the photos. Ford finds out the whole Langston visit was a setup. Ford,I trusted you I believed everything you said. Langston, now you know how I felt. Ford tells Langston she not only hurt him she hurt James. Langston, he's better off without you. Ford, You got me good. I'll miss you.

John has a tail on Ross, who is sitting in his bar Rodi's. Ross is talking to Eli, says its convenient Tea died just in time for him to swoop in and get Dani. Eli starts telling Ross about how Tea got sick. He has a flash back of going into Greg's office when Greg initially got the tests back. Greg tells Eli Tea is fine there is nothing wrong with her. Damn, girl went through radiation for nothing.  Ross asks Eli after you recover whats your next step. Eli, to live happily ever after. Natalie walks up and grabs the phone out of Ross' hand. Natalie hears Eli say Ross that's it. Then she claims to Ross it looked like her phone that she lost at the memorial. Natalie tells John she only talked to Eli a couple of times but she's willing to bet Ross was talking to his dead brother Eli. The caller Id was blocked. John can't trace the call.

Greg is confessing everything to Tea, who appears to be sleeping. .I think she's listening, even if she's in a coma sometimes people hear and remember things. Greg tells Tea she was perfectly healthy until she met him. Eli slipped something into her water in court that is why she passed out. He told Greg to tell her she was dying or Destiny and everyone would find out what he didn't want them to know. Greg prescribed medication to cause the symptoms of a massive tumor. Eli even suggested the hospice, he knew she would want to spare her family. Greg was supposed to kill Tea, but since he couldn't he said he pulled every favor he could to get her back in the states, close to Todd and Dani. Then he bought himself some time to figure out what to do next and for her to recover. Greg tells Tea he put her in a coma so he can flush the drugs he gave her from her system, but he has to go back to Eli to convince him he needs surgery. He's fine, he just needs to get him on the operating table so he can kill him. That explains why he didn't just let him get on the plane and let his head explode.

Todd's at the court house talking to Blair about Tea.

Dani is telling Destiny that Greg kept her from her mom and if he would lie about that he would lie about anything. 

Ross arrived at the court house Blair started talking to him about the case and ended up screaming at him over and I hate Eli.

Nate left Dani in the park alone. I don't like that. She said she would never leave without saying goodbye. Okay, she's with Destiny again, I feel better. Destiny asks about the hearing and why Dani isn't there. Dani, because Todd and Blair told me to stay away. Destiny, since when do the D girls ever do what they are told.

With about a two minute hearing, the judge says the will appears to be fairly straight forward. The will is signed and notarized, it appears to be genuine. Therefore according to the terms of the will custody of Danielle Rayburn goes to Mr. Rayburn. Todds' lawyer gets up and argues that Todd is the biological father. The D girls are hiding in the back of the court. Judge agrees to hear Todds' lawyer. Ross stands up and says he has something that might clear things up. It's Dani's birth certificate naming Ross the father.

Eli calls Greg and wants to know why he isn't there. Greg tells him to relax you wouldn't want that blood pressure to spike, that could be fatal. If Greg stays gone to long and Eli really doesn't have a subdural hematoma, I would think he would be feeling better, so why would he let Greg operate on him? It could be Greg is giving Eli medicine to give him a headache too, but the hospital staff would have to give the medicine since Greg isn't there, and Eli is looking better. So I don't think that is the case. And we still don't know what Eli has on Greg. I wonder if Destiny is his daughter? That would be an interesting twist.

Starr confronts Langston and tells her she set Ford up just so she could get him fired. Langston says so what if I did. I think some of that Kramer if rubbing off on Langston.

Ford sits down at the park and kicks his box of stuff from the school he's been carrying around. Nate walks up.

Eli looking at a picture of Todd and Dani, says sorry Ross you might be getting custody of Danielle but you won't be seeing a lot of her. So now its looking like Eli used Ross too.

Kendall, please don't tell me I have to wear an ankle monitor. Jesse, It worked for Annie. Kendall yeah, yeah, she's my idol. Jesse, no house arrest, no monitor but the judge wants Ryan to know where you are at all times.

Greenlee goes to see Jake asks him about hypnosis. Greenlee swears Jake to secrecy. Tells him about Ryan. She tells Jake Ryan remembered he loves her and she still loves him too. Jake, Well I think its great with David out of the picture, you and Ryan. Greenlee, with David out of the picture? Jake I didn't mean it like that. Greenlee, yes you did. Jake, no I didn't . Greenlee, yes you did. Jake okay, I don't care that David's gone personally, and you can feel the same way its fine. Greenlee, he was my husband. Jake, I know its complicated, he's gone there's nothing you can do about that. It's okay to have your happiness with Ryan.
Greenlee, he didn't tell me he remembered. Jake, well that's a little awkward you know, your husband just kicked the bucket. LOL  Greenlee, Nice. Jake, I don't sorry, its not the best time to profess you love to someone is all I'm saying. Greenlee, what if he doesn't want to love me? Listsoff all the reasons why. Greenlee wishing she never got on the bike, should have stayed and worked things out with Ryan. Greenlee, he's protecting himself. Jake, you can either get up and walk away or you can fight. What's it going to be?

Frankie goes to Fusion to talk to Madison who tells Frankie it's not a good idea because Randi over heard them before.

Young & Restless Recap, Monday Sept 20, 2010

Chance tells Nina he has to go into witness protection. Nina doesn't want him to go, but Christine tells her if anyone in the drug ring finds out he's alive, they'll be going to his funeral for real next time.

Nina asks Chance how long he has known Ronan was FBI. He tells her the day of the fight Chloe told him Ronan was his brother. They flashback to the two of them in the room together. Chance asks him if he is really his brother. Ronan, according to a DNA test I am. That answers that question. I wondered if anyone had done a test, how they new for sure he was her son.  The two boys fight, Chance is getting ready to punch Ronan'a face in and Ronan tells him he's FBI, so they developed the plan.

Nina said she didn't think she would ever get over watching one son gun down another. Ronan, You weren't supposed to be there for that. Chance, When I heard you scream I wanted to get up and tell you it was fake, but I couldn't I'm sorry. Nina, after what you put me through! Sorry isn't going to cut it mister. Ronan, says they couldn't have her slip up at the funeral.  Nina's mad cause they lied to her. Chance tells Nina not to be mad at Christina and Ronan. He's gotta go. She needs to make people believe that she has accepted his death. Phillip tells him he's proud of him. Then Nina tells Ronan, I just found my other son, I hope I'm not going to lose you too. Ronan says he's leaving with Chance. His assignment is over. He can't tell her where, the FBI frowns on that when your undercover, he's going. Nina apologizes for the hateful things she said. Ronan says I would have hated me too, that he admires her loyalty to Chance and the way she fought for him. Nina, I would have fought for you too, if I'd have known who you were. Ronan tells her he read her book, the people that raised him were wonderful. He's known a while she was his mother. Nina, why didn't you try to contact me? Ronan found out when he joined the FBI and they did the back ground check that he had been stolen. Nina asks again why didn't you contact me? Ronan, you had your job another son, I was starting a new career. Nina turns to Christine and asks her how long she has know? Christine, When Ronan realized this case would bring us to Genoa City he told me. Christine evidently intercepted the picture Paul had. Chance tells Nina to remember the moon. Oh tears! Its so sad. Ronan and Chance leave in car together.

Catherine is home. Everyone is fussing over her. Catherine hopes the talk goes well between Nina and Christine so they can work things out. Nina comes back in, you can tell she's struggling now with lying to the rest of the family.

Heather in her office with stacks of files on her desk. I mean stacks. Owen must not have done any work. Paul tells her she should go home and get some rest and start fresh in the morning. She says this is where she need to be.

Adam & Skye haven't seen them in a while. Skye says they are the perfect power couple. Adam doesn't want to be the perfect power couple. Skye says tough! LOL Skye has set up a meeting with a photographer and reporter, Adam doesn't want to go. Skye asks him what is your problem? The trust fund is making boat loads of money, your a free man, and you've got all the sex you want.  Skye, I may not be your precious Sharon, but your life could be a whole lot worse. Adam, meaning shut up and dance? Skye, smart boy. Adam asks what if I don't? Skye, there will be consequences.  Adam still says he's not going. Skye threatens him, then comes out with the fact that she knows he helped Patti escape. She leaves. Adam's drinking and talking to himself saying you think I'm just going to lie down and take it.

Victor comes home Nikki hides her drink and pops a mint in her mouth. She's talking in high gear. Victor wants to know whats wrong with her says she's all nervous. Yeah! She almost got caught. She tells him its because of Catherine. Catherine calls and tells her she's home. Victor is still suspicious.

Esther and Chloe make up. Esther asks her if she's sure she doesn't want to move back home. Chloe says it would kill her to walk past this door everyday. She's in Chances room. Jill goes in to talk to Chloe. Boy are these two going to be mad when they find out Chance is alive.

Paul arrives at Nikki's. She had called him. Nikki, tells Paul she's struggling, talking about everything going on. Paul asks her if she was tempted to drink. She lied and said no. She says she has been through struggles before, she doesn't know why this is different. Paul tells her to call anytime day or night.

Victor goes to see Heather. He wants her to reopen all the cases Pomerantz was involved in. He wants her to reopen Adams case. She tells him her priority has to be all the mob guys. Victor wants to know after that if she is elected DA then she would be in a position to make sure Adamdoesn't get lost in the shuffle. Heather says any talk of her running for DA is premature. Victor offers to bank roll Heathers campaign if she goes after Adam with everything she's got. Yup, could see that coming a mile away.

Is The Digital Age Going To Be The Death Of Book Stores & Libraries?

I just read an article about Barnes and Noble. The article said the companies market value dropped under a billion dollars, due to being squeezed by Amazon and Walmart.  The share holders are fighting, they are talking of selling the store, all the sounds of a company going down.

All this made me wonder once again with all the new digital items; Kindles, Readers, IPods and such, if some day in the near future there will be no new books.

I guess it would be good for the trees, I get that they are lighter to carry around. You can press a few buttons and instantly have a new or old book to read. I imagine at some point there will be a digital copy of every book ever printed. I get it. I'm a computer geek.

But I love my books. I look at the walls of my house, lined with bookshelves, loaded with books. They look good. I don't know what it is, I love the look of floor to ceiling books. I love book stores and libraries. Maybe it's just another geek thing. But I love my books.

I don't own a reading device. I've considered getting one from time to time. I think if I'm going to pay say $10 for a book, I want the book. Kind of like a back up copy. Its the same with music downloads.  I could probably count on one hand the number of music downloads I've paid for. I buy the CD. Maybe its just that I want to see what I'm paying for, to know that I got something for my money.

If there are no books, why would you need bookstores and libraries? You just need a website. There will be nearly no human interaction. Okay that could be a whole other topic. LOL

What do you think? Hardback or reading device? What's your preference? Do you think books will soon be a thing of the past?

Solitary Man - The Movie

Just watched Solitary Man. I thought it would be pretty good.

It starred Michael Douglas, Susan Sarandon, Danny Devito, and Mary Louise Parker.

It was about a man going through a mid life crises that looses everything.  These are great actors, I guess I just expected a better story.

On a scale of 1-5.  I gave it a 3.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 1

Okay Jeff Probst you need to change the name of the show. You can no longer call this Survivor.

When the show first started Survivor was an appropriate name. People were dropped off on an island somewhere and told to survive. They did.  As far as I know no one died. There were a couple of close calls, but no one died.

As the seasons have gone on I've noticed more and more luxury items. In the early seasons the teams might have won some rice or beans. In one of the early seasons, someone used their glasses to start a fire. Then glasses were no longer allowed.

Now in the more recent seasons people are given everything. I mean rice, beans, corn mix, chickens, fishing gear and one season you built them a toilet and if I remember correctly two more "rooms", I think a bedroom with pillows and blankets and a table.

Here we are episode one. One team wins fire and the other team has glasses to start their fire. Granted its the older team, I don't begrudge anyone their reading glasses, I know I need mine. But the only thing they can use the reading glasses for is to start fires, what are they going to read? Tree mail? That's usually pretty big print.

And what's up with the water, we never see them looking for the water hole anymore. Last season people were walking around with water containers that looked suspiciously like bottled water.  What are they getting bottled water too. Gatorade? Vitamin Water?

You have the first competition and you give them fishing gear. This isn't Survivor. It's camping! Come on I want to see people survive in the wild. If I want to watch people play games and win prizes, I'll watch the Game Show Network. It used to be the point of competition was you didn't have to go to tribal council. No prizes, food, fire, or fishing gear. You got to stay that was it. I mean Jeff sounded like Monty Hall On Let's Make a Deal. Are you going to keep power or trade it for the fishing gear?

I'm thinking Summer Fun with Jeff Probst is a much more appropriate name for the current show.

So Brenda, single single single girl wins the medallion. Should be interesting to see what powers the medallion holds. I think this girl is going to get annoying quick.

The Old vs Young concept is interesting. I think the Old guys as they are calling them will show the young guns something.Not sure what yet, but something.

I like Yve's attitude. She's the one that saw the medallion was gold and said winners carry gold don't they. I like that.

Like Jimmie Johnson, but I think he is at a real disadvantage because of who he is and the fact that he probably doesn't need the money. I'm afraid its going to be held against him and I can't believe he got sick. Probably dehydrated, he should know better.

Holly made a deal the first day with Wendy, and Wendy agreed to it. Not too smart of either of them.

I'm not liking Marty. Why did he call Wendy weird? Just because she has an accent? Didn't seem like he talked to her that long and he has decided she's weird.

Jane is all excited about starting a fire but I started fire with a magnifying glass when I was like seven, it's not hard. Now if she had started it rubbing two sticks together I would have been impressed.

Jud aka Fabio, surfer boy looks familiar. Could he be a hired actor? I think the definition of dumb blond fits this guy. I normally don't like to say stuff like that, but at the rate he's going, he's going to injure himself and have to leave. I really hope he isn't as dumb as he has been made to look.

Kelly B, People have said if they keep her she will get the sympathy vote. It's not like America voting, it's the people on the island voting for her. So I say if she's contributing to the tribe keep her. If she's not contributing or she's holding the tribe back send her home, just like anybody else.  If she makes it to the end they can vote to decide if she wins. I would hope people would be able to vote, based on HER performance, not on her legs' performance.  She finished an Ironman contest, so I'm thinking she can hold her own in competitions. Give her a chance.

Chase, I'm partial to Chase cause he's a NASCAR Jackman, but Chase get away from Brenda. Run! Fast! she's bad news.  A Twittering Nascar buddy who shall remain an unnamed source said and I quote " He's gotta stop walking around in his drawers though" And again I say " No he don't !

Alina and Kelly B have found and  hidden the hidden immunity idol clue. Again with the sympathy vote, where are these peoples heads. Give the girl a chance, or say what you really mean.  You don't want to share the idol.

I love the fact that Jimmy J has told the tribe that he knows no one will give him a million bucks, it's like reverse psychology, probably the best move he could have made, just putting it out there.

The young team dance in to the competition was just stupid, I was happy to see that Chase nor Sash participated in it. Chase was actually shaking his head as they entered.

I can see why the older team made the decision not to use the medallion. I hope it pays off for them next week, since it didn't help this week. Another good thing as long as they don't use it they keep it from the other team.


Ok, I just saw Marty drinking out of a glass bottle/carafe what's up with that? Looks like Wendy has rice already too.

I don't like that Holly told about her conversation with the coach at tribal council. She seems to talk a lot about what she knows. I wouldn't tell her any secrets.

Jeff cracked me up when he sat back down so Wendy could continue speaking. LOL

I think Jimmy T and Marty both have an attitude that is going to get them in trouble if they're not careful.

They need to do something with that snake that's at tribal council, eat him or something, so he quits slithering around.

Poor Wendy she should have known better than to listen to her husband. He might have been right, but he was mean telling her she talked to much.

General Hospital Recap, Fri Sept 17, 2010

Brenda/Jason Brenda calls Jason a liar, she doesn't believe Sonny didn't send him. Jason, tells her the charges were dropped. Brenda, but he told you he saw me? Jason, He didn't say anything about you. Brenda, No? Oh. Is Sonny seeing anyone? Jason, he's not married. Brenda, Is he involved with anyone? Jason, I don't think its serious. Brenda, so as far as you know Sonny's free. Jason, I already told you charges were dropped. Brenda, I mean he's not living with anyone or anything. Jason, no. Brenda, he really didn't send you?

Dante tells Sonny he's been where he is with one woman trying to get over another. Sonny, did it work? Dante, not even close. Sonny tells Dante falling for Brenda scared the hell out of him. They are talking back and forth, sounds like there is a Brenda in Dante's past. Hope Carly doesn't find out. Dante is leaving, Sonny thanks him for what he is doing for Micheal. Dante, yeah, just so you know it doesn't change anything, I'm still a cop your still a crime boss. You slip up I'll take you down. Sonny, I would never ever stop you from doing your job. It's just nice for one night it didn't get in the way of you being my son. Dante turns to leave and Claire is standing in front of him. Dante, I guess this is the end of your lecturing me about my conflict of interest, right?  Sonny, I didn't think you'd come tonight. Claire, neither did I.


Siobhan/Ronan. Siobhan tells Ronan he has compassion in his eyes. Ronan, okay you got me I'm an undercover cop. Siobhan, You sounded like a true yank with that accent. Ronan, I had some practice. Siobhan, I've heard the stories, your feared on 3 continents. Ronan, four but whose counting. I'm not Ronan O'Reilly you said so yourself. Siobhan, I've hated that face for longer than you can remember. Seen it in my nightmares long before you murdered my Donny. Ronan, so what are you waiting for shoot me. Siobhan, not before you tell me what happened. Ronan, What to your boyfriend? Siobhan, to you. How did you happen to pick up a soul? Ronan, What does it matter how I've changed, just be glad I did or you'd be buried next to your boyfriend by now. Siobhan, you won't hurt me. Ronan, you sure we are talking about the same Ronan O'reilly. Siobhan, something inside has changed you. Ronan, I found god. Siobhan, are you serious? Ronan, It wasn't like I was looking for him. Tells her a story about hiding out in a church. Siobhan gets up to leave and tells him to be careful, now that he's developed a conscious it could get him killed. Babak calls Ronan and tells him they want to meet. Lucky tells him he can't he's been made, pick someone else.

Maxi/Robin Robin fills Maxi in on the plan. Maxi, there is no excuse for what Patrick did. I don't think its a reflection on how Patrick feels about you. Maxi tries to talk to Robin about forgiving Patrick, but Robin is more worried about keeping Emma safe.

Lisa got tickets to the Nascar Dover race for her and Patrick. She got seats on the bridge. Patrick, Its not a good idea for me and you to take a weekend. Robin is on the edge of a breakdown. Lisa, Robin needs to face reality and so do you. Getting married was a mistake. Make it a clean break and I can help you get on with your life again. She kisses him. Steve sees. Patrick explains to Steve what Lisa wants. Steve is going to try to fix the schedule so Patrick can't leave.

Carly ranting about Brenda to Micheal. Micheal, why does it bother you so much that Jason is seeing Brenda? Carly says Jason should be here helping you. Micheal, He loves you mom he went to prison to protect me, so don't be mad at him. Carly, I'm not mad at him. I'm going to strangle Brenda.

Jason, the Balkins come at you three times. Any idea what you did to make yourself a target? Brenda, denies knowing why, tells Jason she doesn't want his help. Jason calls Spinelli. Carly realizes Jason is on the phone and is chasing him around the room to get it. Brenda takes Jason's phone and says whoever this is tell Jason to come home. Carly takes Spinelli's phone. Brenda says hi Carly. Carly, Brenda. I want to talk to Jason. Brenda, he's busy he's going to have to call you back. Carly doing what? Brenda apparently protecting me.  Carly if safety is such a concern why don't you ask your movie star boyfriend to hire a fleet of body guards too protect you. Better yet you could have the flipping UN put their peace keeping forces on duty. I mean its the least they can do for a humanitarian like yourself. Brenda, interesting idea, but he insists on guarding me himself. Carly, he has a family here. Jason takes the phone from Brenda. Carly, What are you doing there? How could you fly off to Rome? You know while you were off saving Brenda, Micheal almost got expelled? Jason, What happened? Micheal takes phone tells Jason it was a stupid fight I'm fine so's mom here's Spinelli.  Spinelli, you were saying. Jason, run a check on the Balkin , known associates, any family, everyting you can find right away.

Claire and Sonny eating dinner. Go back and forth about Jax. Sonny tells her he doesn't want to hurt her and if she's worried he is then she can leave right now, he won't stop her. Sonny tells Claire he knows how important her career is he doesn't want her to have any regrets. She gets up goes over and kisses him. Sonny says this is your last chance to run for the door. They go up to bedroom. So this will be like baby number 8?

Steve stops by Robins. Tells her Lisa wasted no time moving back in on Patrick. Robin says the only way to turn this situation around is to make her think she's won.

Maxi goes to hospital to see Patrick. Patrick, I'm working right now. Maxi, I'm sure Robin would love to be working right now. But until this whole thing with Lisa is settled Robins suspended. That doesn't seem fair does it? You cheat Robin loses her job. Patrick, this is only temporary. Once I can prove Lisa is doing all these crazy things then Robin will be reinstated. Maxi, I'm trying to be sympathetic here but this plan of yours better work because it isn't helping Robin forget what you did. Patrick, I know just don't get all wrapped up in playing with Lisa and end up in bed with her again. Patrick, that's not going to happen. Lisa's at the top of the stairs. Maxi I hope not I don't think Robin can take much more.  Patrick, I going to pretend to fall for Lisa long enough to prove that she is acting like a lunatic. The chief will have enough evidence to fire Lisa then I can concentrate on getting my wife back. Yep, Lisa heard all that. She knows its a set up. I knew when Maxi showed up there was too much talking going on about this plan and Lisa would find out.  First Steve then Maxi.

Lisa to Maxi if your waiting for an appointment that is what the lounge is for. Maxi, well if it isn't the tramp trying to ruin my cousins life. Don't talk to me ever. Lisa, well Robin doesn't need any help with that actually she's doing just fine on her own, and I hate to break it to you but your cousin is seriously disturbed. Maxi, if that is true its all your fault. You snaked her husband and are trying to destroy her marriage. Your a discusting piece of trash. Patrick, is there a problem here? Lisa, not on my end. Lisa walks away. Patrick you can not provoke her. Maxi I'm just doing my part to keep up the front it just so happens my role happens to coincide with how I feel. Patrick, do not under estimate Lisa, she's not dumb she's smarter than the rest of us so far. We have to prove that she's crazy and Robin is her victim. Maxi and Patrick continue talking, Lisa is hiding around the corner. Maxi tells Patrick she tries to put in a good word when she can. She knows what its like to make the mistake of cheating on someone your in love with.  I have empathy however it will not extend to a second time. Patrick, she wants to go to a Nascar event which I will get out of the last minute. I don't want to be alone with her.

Lisa gives a prescription for Phenosolitol to a nurse.Says, its a new drug on the market, asks her to fill it so she can give it to the patient in person after her consult. She says the drug is to dangerous to not be appraised of its complications. I'm not sure what Lisa is going to do with this drug, but we can be pretty sure it won't be good.

Carly arrives home Jax is there. Jossslyn's asleep Morgans at a sleep over. Jax wants to pick up where they left off. Carly wants to take it slow. Jax works on her some more. He is going to move back in.

Brenda asks Jason about Spinelli. Jason questions her again about the Balkin. Jason, he's not stalking you. He sent people to kill you. What did you do? Brenda, I went to the press and shined the light on these people that are exploiting children, so of course these big shots want to shut me down cause they want to keep the profits rolling in. Jason, maybe that's part of it. What aren't you telling me. Brenda, nothing. Jason, come on you know this guy is going to try and kill you again and your security can't stop him. Brenda, ok look fine you are right, I would love for you to protect me. I have to go to this gala tonight so your gonna have to come with me and be my body guard. Do you have a tux. Jason just stares at her. We all know how much Jason loves a tux. LOL

Spinelli, working. Knock on door, its Dante. Spinelli tells him Jason is aware of what went down with Micheal. Dante sees Spinelli's computer screen and wants to know why he is researching this guy. Spinelli, the jackals queries are none of your concern. Dante, actually if your going through illegal channels they are. So unless you want to take a ride downtown I suggest you tell me everything you know about the Balkin. Spinelli, clearly not as much as you do. Go Spinelli. I notice that when Dante wants something its okay for Spinelli to hack, other wise he threatens to arrest him. I also like that the writers are letting Spinelli appear wiser instead of like a stupid hacker kid. I mean hackers really aren't stupid, they gotta be pretty smart to do all that they do.

Babak calls Lucky says he's not happy about changing the meeting. Lucky, so where does he want to meet? Babak, he's coming to you. Knock on door. Boy thanks for a little bit of warning Babak. This guy is going to get Lucky killed.

Todd, take the money or your a dead man again. Ross, this is your plan B? You threaten me, I give you my daughter.  Todd, No I'm not threatening you. Ross, what are you going to do kill me? Todd pulls a gun, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Ross, you must of figured out the answer to the question, how your going to be a father to Dani from prison. Todd, that's not going to happen, while you were watching pay-per-view at The Palace, on my dime.  I spoke to some people who work for me who will dispose of your body. I have a guy who will have your name on his passport and a bunch of witness that willl see me leave this memorial before you. Ross, its taking you a long time to pulll that trigger, whats it going to be money or a bullet? Ross, your one hell of a negotiator. Todd, does that mean your going to give up Dani? Ross, your going to have to shoot me. Blair walks in. Tells him not to kill someone that Dani loves. Todd, Dani won't know what happened. She'll just think the silver surfer disappeared again. Blair, Don't make her lose someone else, after she lost Tea, and Eli. Tells him Tea is watching him. Todd puts the gun down, Ross leaves. Todd, damn you are you happy now? Blair, no I really wish you had shot him. Todd, then why'd you tell me not to do it? LOL Blair cause I promised Tea, and I always keep my promises.

Dani tells Starr she's going to school to get away from the dueling dad's. Starr, I've been through custody fights, I know how bad it can be, but I didn't have to lose my mom in the middle of it. She tells Dani she wants her to do whatever makes her happy.

Everyone arrives in class. Ford starts teaching, the dean comes in and calls him out of the class. She questions him about Langston, he denies any involvement. She says then how do you explain these photos taken last night? Ford admits the photos are real, she fires him. Tells him to be out by the end of the day. She then goes in and tells the class that Mr. Ford was let go for inappropriate contact with a student. Boy that should keep him from working anywhere. 

Langston, Starr and James in the hallway. Starr can't believe Ford would be with a student after everything that happened. Langston says she needs to go. James tells Starr Bobby was with Langston last night. Langston meets Ford in the park and plays stupid about the photos. Ford can't think of anyone that hates him enough to get him fired.

Ryan, I'm not going to hide from the police, I should go to them. Greenlee, You can't do that. You need to stop going to the police your a free man. Let your attorney handle it. Greenlee tries to convince him if he keeps talking to the police they can twist something he says. Ryan, I'll go straight to Jesse he won't do that. The questions the police want answered are the same ones I want answered.  Ryan leaves for police station. Kendall, Maybe we should trust Ryan on this. Greenlee, and maybe we should try and keep him safe. Greenlee, maybe Ryan would stop trying to remember if the vial was found in someone else's pocket.

Kendall thinks Greenlee's out of her mind, wants to know who she would set up. Greenlee says there's Liza. Kendall likes the idea, but says no. Kendall reminds Greenlee of her stupid plan to setup Erica and how bad it went. Ryan comes in says he got nothing new, but Jesse gave him the number to a hypnotherapist.

Annie, I helped you find AJ, I actually felt for you, you actually made it seem like you wanted to work like a team, then you put out a bogus press release? JR what better way of proving himself, than to take on Chandlers problems over seas. Annie, You just want Scott as far away as possible because you are threatened by him. You expect us to just pack up our stuff and move away because you put out a bogus press release. JR, I don't expect you to go anywhere. JR, if Scott can't handle the competition I'll buy him out. JR says the company is his. Annie there is something you will never have and that's me. JR, I already had you. Annie, I love my husband. JR, Bring it on. You two are amateurs. Annie, you really don't want to make me your enemy. JR, I don't want to be your enemy, I want to give you everything your heart desires. Annie, don't talk to me like that. Continue going round. Annie tells him he made his first mistake under estimating Scott and her.


Caleb and Scott continue talking. Scott is upset because Annie set him up for the meeting. Caleb tells Scott he doesn't have the taste for blood that JR has. He offers to invest in the European part of the company. Scott why would I want to invest with someone whose agenda is to undermine my company? Caleb, I could be in this to screw ya, or I could be your best shot at giving JR a taste of his own medicine. Scott, I think I'll pass.

Miranda and Bianca are walking in the park, and Miranda points out Asher on a bench an says look that's the man that fixed our computers. Asher, tells Miranda that Caleb kicked him out before he was finished. He asks Miranda how she likes the game he left on the computer for her. Hum sounds like spyware.

Ryan goes to Jesse. Ryan, I will tell you everything I know if you will tell me everything you know. Jesse, I don't know if as Chief of Police I can do that. As your friend, I gotta tell you Liza thinks you killed David. Ryan, What do you think? Jesse, I don't think you went to Davids room with the intent to poison him. You hated the guy, but premeditated murder that's not you. Ryan, so what do you think? Jesse, I think David spiked the drink for you. Ryan, that's not such a crazy theory. Jesse, two glasses one lethal one not, somehow he's confused, distracted drinks from the wrong glass in  few minutes he's dead. Ryan, do you have any evidence or is this just wishful thinking? Jesse, I prefer to call it a theory, its as good as any.

Annie and Scott, Scott is mad Annie set him up with Caleb, says Annie lied to him. Annie tells him if you want to beat JR you've got to start playing dirty. Scott thinks they should wait and watch.

Marissa, Do you know what it was like being David Haywards' daughter listening to all the terrible things. JR, being Adams' son wasn't easy either. Marissa, exactly do you want to put AJ through that? JR, everything I have done is for AJ. AJ is my first priority, and I have been there for him since he lost his real mother. OUCH! JR apologizes. Marissa, I have a meeting with Caleb, I have to go. JR, You've been spending a lot of time with him. Marissa, I have to take the bar tomorrow. JR, do you not get why he is your best study buddy? It's because he is out to get me. Didn't they already have this fight? Marissa just shakes her head and leaves.

Kendall, Footnote getting arrested for helping Ryan. Bianca, the longer you wait the harder its going to be. Kendall, I can't call him you know how he is. He'll hang up before I can even explain, then he'll hop in his car and stew his entire way down the interstate and then when he shows up that's it. Kaboom. Unless, it is only a few hours drive. Bianca, don't even think about it. Kendall, I'll be back by morning. Bianca, your out on bail, if you get caught it will be even worse. Kendall, I won't get caught. Bianca, I will let the air out of your tires. Kendall, Ok, that was a dumb idea. My guess, Zach already knows what is going on and is already mad.

Dr Frankel arrives at Ryan's. It looks like Greenlee set up her phone so she can ease drop on Ryan and the doctor. She is standing outside the door listening. They are recalling what happened at the party, nothing new so far. Ryan, says he was worried about Greenlee because he loves her.

Young & Restless Recap, Friday Sept 17, 2010

Chris still trying to talk to Nina. There is really nothing she can say to calm Nina. Nina, Once again the case is more important than Chance. You can't even let us mourn our son in private. Its starting to sink in to everyone else that the DA was corrupt. Owen tells Ronan he's going to regret this, he is going to end up as dead as his brother.

Ronan, asks them to hear him out. (Heather, Chloe, Kevin) I'm not here to upset anybody or to upset Chance's memory. This is what he wanted. Heather, he wanted to make the arrests himself, but that's not possible because you killed him. Ronan, And I can't undo that Heather, all I can do is take the evidence that he got us and use it the way he would have, and I'm going to clear his name. Everyone is going to know that Chance was the hero of this investigation. Chloe, so he was the hero and you were the survivor. There could have been no survivors, if I wouldn't have defended myself, Meeks would have killed him and me. I did the best I could I tried to protect him. Chloe, and you failed. Ronan, and I failed. Ronan's phone rings, he leaves. Heather, at least people will know Chance died fighting the good fight. Chloe, don't do that. Don't glorify it like it was some noble death this was not some sacrifice for the noble good it was just a waste.

Chris still trying to make Nina listen, trying to tell her she will want to hear what she has to say. I can't imagine what she has to say that can't wait unless she's going to tell her Chance is alive. Nina, you think I want to hear about your arrests? Chris, you have to know in your heart how much I love you, and how it hurts me to see you go through this, please let me explain. Nina, my son is dead explain that. Paul tells Chris she needs to leave.  Chris, please get her to listen to me. Paul, why should I? Chris, because you trust me. Paul, before I would have. Chris, there are things she has to hear. It will help her, I swear.

Catherine comes too in the hospital. Murphy and Nikki by her side. Nikki tells Catherine she fainted. Catherine says not to worry she has a lot of living left. Murray outside talking to Dr. tells him Catherine usually has a lot of energy lately she hasn't. Dr leaves. Tucker comes up Murphy wants to know what he was saying to Catherine. Tucker, we were just saying what a sad day it was. Are you thinking this was my fault? Jill and Brock arrive they want to see Catherine. Murphy won't let Tucker go in says he's worried as hell and not taking any chances.

Nikki telling Catherine about pouring the drink yesterday.

Jill at Catherine's bedside making it all about her. Told Catherine she pulls these stunts just to irritate her. Catherine wants Jill to go and take care of Nina and Philip. Sends Nikki for a deck of cards so she can beat Murphy at gin rummy to prove she is okay. Brock asks if she's going to send him on an errand too. She says she just wants to spend some time with the husband.

Brock and Murphy step outside Catherine's door. Tucker is at the nurses station. Brock, should I tell him now is not a good time. Murphy, there's not going to be a good time, he was with her when she collapsed, and I'm not going to have any more of that. Murphy goes back in to Catherine.

Catherine wants to make sure Murphy knows about her living will, that she doesn't want to be kept alive by artificial means. Murphy says that's a tough one because if the situation were reversed he would want them to do everything possible to keep him going. Catherine, even if it means being hooked up to machines, living in a vegetative state? Murphy, things change, a new doctor, a new procedure that could turn it all around. Catherine, I'm talking about a decision where there is no hope. Murphy, there's always hope. Catherine, the idea of being confined to a hospital bed, unable to move or communicate, just seems like a living hell. I want to live until I die, just like I said in my book. If I die, I want to die like I live, with dignity. I need to know if I can't make the decision you will respect my wishes. Prolonging life is one thing, prolonging death, oh please don't subject me to that. Murphy, I've seen someone pull the plug and today it still seems like the wrong decision. I don't know if I could do that. Losing you, it scares the heck out of me. Catherine laughs and tells Murphy she will always be with him one way or another. Everyone comes back in with the Dr. who says she needs a CAT scan. Catherine tells everyone to go home.

Of course Jill tells Nikki, there's no reason for her to stay. Nikki, are you afraid I'll add to her stress? Jill, damn right I am. Nikki, then I assume you'll be the one leaving since your the one that stresses her out the most. Jill, Catherine enjoys sparing with me it adds zest to her life. Nikki, yeah, right. Jill, What really raises her blood pressure is the sheer boredom of listening to your family drama, year in and year out, breaking up with Victor, making up with Victor, at nauseam wondering which of your children or step children is in jail, you have one of those erase boards in your kitchen so you can keep track of which kid is in the orange jump suit this week? Nikki, it wasn't my family who caused this it was your grandson who died. Jill, Well you got me there! Nikki, I'm sorry I didn't mean that. Jill, Chance was the light of our life, my mother died earlier this year would you like to take a shot at her too. Nikki, I'm so sorry I shouldn't have said that. Please tell Catherine I'll be back later.

Tucker and Brock talk. Tucker, I'm concerned and as her son I have as much right as you do to be in there. Brock, not if your going to get her upset. Tucker, I have no intention of doing that.  I know we got off on the wrong foot. Brock, you deceived her, you stripped her of her lifes' work in the most hurtful demeaning way possible. Tucker, we've come a long way since then, you ask her. Brock, If you and mother can heal those wounds I'm happy for you, but the family is not willing to gamble with her life. Tucker, I'm apart of that family. Murphy walks up, tells them Catherine is going for a CAT scan. He tells Tucker you can stick around for the results or I can call you.

Heather visits Owen, confronting Owen about putting the bomb in her car,  killing Chance then saluting him at the funeral. Owen is trying to blame it all on Ronan. Heather, I saw your face when he said he was FBI. You are guilty as sin. Heather, there's never been a bigger hard ass about doing things by the book, and all the while your running a drug ring. Owen, These are false charges. Heather, your on tape ordering Chances murder. Owen, its a scam set up by the FBI to protect one of their own. Heather, when I think of you suspending me firing me for bending the rules. Who's gonna rein me in now. I guess there will be nobody to stop me from pulling strings making sure you serve your time in the middle of the most hard core criminals you have ever convicted. Sounds like a good plan. Owen, good luck with that. Heather, I won't need luck, I'll have Chance looking out for me.

Heather runs into Paul, he tries to comfort her. She feels guilty because she kept Owen informed on what was going on in investigation.

Kevin tells Chloe maybe her instincts about Ronan were right and Chance's were wrong. Kevin walking Chloe through everything trying to show her Ronan might not be a bad guy. Chloe, he killed Chance and every time I look at him that's all I'm going to see.

Ronan tells Chris he's going out to get hammered. Chris, is this as close as you come to admitting emotion?

Paul tells Nina maybe she should talk to Chris.  Nina, she can write me a letter. Phillip there are some things I would like to know. Nina, okay, fine. Chris says she can't talk there now, the reporters are on the way. She has to go someplace to meet her. ??? Suspicious they are all still in the church they can't put a guard a the door to keep the reporters out? A driver takes Philip and Nina out to the middle of no where, the driver gets out of the car with a phone in his hand. Nina says this is ridiculous. She wants to leave. A car pulls up Phillip says its Christine.

Christine and Ronan get out of car. Nina what is he doing here, we didn't agree to this. Phillip why do you keep pushing him into this? Chris, I promise you its all going to make sense. Nina we shouldn't have come here. I've got a house full of family waiting for me. Ronan, you've got family right here. Nina, you may be my son which is very hard to believe, but you will never be family. Car door closes, Chance says mom,  and walks out of car. I knew it. They set it up when they met in the room.

Nikki goes home, pours herself a drink and drinks it.

Doctor tells Catherine she did  not have a stroke or a seizure. It was dehydration and exhaustion. She can go home in a few hours if she promises to rest. Tucker outside the door looking in. I can't tell if he is concerned or plotting revenge.

Heather gets appointed as new DA until next election. She asks Paul if she is crazy for doing this, the entire department is a mess. Paul, your the perfect person to clean it up. Heather, help me? I'm going to need a good investigator. Paul is taking down Pomerantz the first order of business. Heather, you better believe it. Paul, then count me in.

Esther calls Delia is upset, Chloe says she misses Chance. She'll be there as soon as she can.

Chance, Phillip and Nina all hug. Nina, Can you imagine their faces when you come home? Chance, Mom I can't come home. I'm going into witness protection, you four are the only ones that can ever know I'm alive. And that driver I'm suspicious of him. Nina, I don't understand you've made your arrests they are all in jail, whats the problem? Chris, The drug ring here has connections to organized crime all around the world. Ronan, this is just one of their franchises. There are still plenty of people to come gunning for Chance if they figure out his death was a hoax. Nina, how long, how long will you have to be in hiding? Chance this may be the last time we ever see each other mom.
