I used to never miss Days of Our Lives and Another World.

All good points, LOL.

I never could get into them, and don't plan to. Besides, I am hardly indoors during their time slots.

I used to tape them, which I liked better b/c I could fast forward through the commercials and all the plot lines I wasn't interested in.

I use to watch Days but the storylines were dragged out so long that it took the characters a whole week to go get a cup of coffee and go back home. I guess those shows are made for people with a lot of time in their hands and I'm not one of them.

I watched soaps in high school and a little in college... probably appropriate timing as that seems to be the stage in your life when you want to believe that all of these unbelieveable things can happen.

I think there's good news though... you can still expect someone to come sweep you off your feet and take you away because he just can't live another day without you... it's just that he probably won't be the clone of his twin brother's former lover that used to be married to his grandmother, twice. If there's that much drama in a real-life relationship, it's probably not love anyway :-)

I used to watch Guiding Light and As the World Turns with my mom after school when I was in middle/high school. Then I didn't watch soaps for a LONG time. Now I watch Days of Our Lives while I'm at work during lunch. It's definitely stupid, all right! But I can't seem to tear myself away. I'm really beginning to wonder if Belle's baby is really Shawn's & not Philip's....and I don't know why I care!!! :)

I've noticed that - I'll watch a little of Days on Monday then not catch any of it again till Friday, and everyone's still doing the same thing they were doing on Monday, and having the same conversations. LOL

I don't watch TV. I live in an apartment with 3 other girls, and we don't even have a TV in our living room. Which is good, in a way.

However, sometimes I read Harlequin romance novels. I favor the ones by Lucy Monroe.
