I don't care who wins or looses but I do like to watch the daytime emmys because I still watch DOOL and sometimes Passions. So tonight I started watching and after about an hour I found that it was not an NBC night so I came in here. I like to see the cast of DOOL when they are live. But maybe next year.

We found a camper and to our suprise it was about 6 years newer than we were looking for. Bigger than we were looking for and so pretty and well taken care of. Now the bad news. It was not a well known brand and they are not being made anymore and the company was bought out so we couldn't find a book price on it. I knew there was something odd because we have been looking for one that was older and they were all more money. So the bank said that if we wanted it would would have to come up with more than half in cash. If I had that much I would put it toward a new one. DH was so disappointed. And after all this looking and finally finding something we both really liked then to have them turn us down....but if we want a new one they would be more than happy to loan us the money.....What crap.....where is that lottery when you need it......lol.

I think it is about time to close the windows it is getting really chilly in here and the furnace will start if I don't go do that ,,,,,,,,,,,too....late I am warming the outside...Janet

I am not an awards show fan either, Janet. Sometimes I watch jsut to see what everyone is wearing, but I have to turn the sound down when they make their speeches because so many of those people who play such cool characters on TV or the movies make such fools of themselves with their speeches. Now mind you, I probably would too, but still it is painful to hear. Sorry about the camper. Somewhere out there is one with your name on it. In fact, I think I saw someone driving a Janetabago just the other day. (Sorry, just a little sick humor. lol) You'll find it.--Pat

Oh Janet, that's a bummer of a disappointment!! Maybe though since it's not being made anymore, you'd have trouble finding parts for it if needed. I'm sure you'll find just the right one for you, but too bad this wasn't it.

I watched the Emmy show tonight and enjoyed it. I'm a fan of DOOL's too, have been watching it every day for about 33 years now. Love it!! No it wasn't their turn this year, but I was happy to see The View finally won in their catagory. Will have to watch it on Monday to hear all about it.

DOOL's usually wins well when they have the Soap Opera Digest awards show. They have the most fans for that magazine...Susie

Hugs,

I'm so confused! LOL! You can tell I'm not a soap fan.

I've never heard of DOOL or Passions. I keep HGTV and FoodTV on for white noise during the day and then it's news or movies and such at other times. Am I missing anything?

I'm sorry your camper-find didn't meet with the bank's approval. You'll find something. I just hope it's soon enough to enjoy this spring and summer.

Have a great day, Janet.

Oh Janet, that is too bad about the camper. Hopefully you will end up with what you both like and can get.

Heat on here too. Boy oh boy! When is the warm weather going to arrive.

Pat, love your sense of humor. I agree with you about the awards speeches and any live TV for that matter. If they make it through without sounding idiotic, I am relieved.

Janet, sorry about the camper. A friend of mine just bought a used (1988) motor home. They love it. I think the gas milage is horrible though. Does pulling a camper add that much to your gas milage?

I watched DOOL for about 20+ years and thought that VCRs were the most wonderful things ever invented when they came out. Then the story lines went a little goofy on me and I quit watching. I would watch it on summer break and they would start a new story line which was never finished by the time I had to go back to work in the fall. I still love to watch it now if some of the older characters are still on it.

Well, drats, Janet! Just keep looking - I just know you'll find exactly what you want before long! Maybe this fall when folks decide to sell rather than store for the winter!!

Chilly here too this morning!

Janet, sorry the camper didn't work out for you. I know yours is out there somewhere. I don't watch soaps any more. Watched General Hospital for years when the kids were small during their nap. One of the sweetest things DH ever did for me concerned General Hospital. The day that Luke and Laura were going to get married(HUGE deal in Soapland!)just at 2pm as the show was starting our power went off! What a tragedy! DH was working produce at that time in a store about 2 miles away. Their power went out also. He had a portable radio in the back room at the store that picked up TV sound. He knew about GH and L&L's wedding and all. Knew I would be heartbroken at missing it. (my world was very small at the time!)Without my calling him or anything, he hopped in the car and brought that radio down to me so I could at least listen to the wedding. I will always remember that he did that. No wonder I love him so!

Hope you ahave a great weekend. KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!
