Well, I must agree about SB being nonconformist.  I think that's
one of the reasons we all like it, it's different.

Well yesterday I was quite angry with all the bad news.
But I must tell you Denise, yes more chores may get 
done around the house but I won't be happy.  When 
I come home from work the first thing I do (this is
on some days, not all) is rewind my tape and get
comfortable with a cold drink and maybe a munchie or
two and watch SB.  They are like my family, I laugh 
with them cry with them get angry at them and at the
same time I find myself relaxing, forgetting about 
my job and chores and escaping for an hour. And
when I'm behind in watching my tapes, I try and find
time on the weekends and I really look forward it.
Granted it is only a soap, a TV program, but it is
my soap and I enjoy it.  When I watched DAYS or AW
I never felt that way, half the time I would FF through
the entire show(s) or maybe a tiny bit.  But with SB
I watch the entire show (except of course Ken, Lisa
and Rafe).  Well after work I guess I'll go home
and cry all over my remote.  Life just isn't gonna
be the same without SB.

Thanks for listening (reading).  I also will not
go down without a fight!

Joyce
Hoping and praying that SB will get picked up a REAL network,
hey CBS, ABC are you listening, let's talk.
