The Young And The Restless

Most drunks will drink anything. I shared an office with a drunk who drank nail polish remover!

Connor’s OCD/trauma story could be interesting if it was actually HIS story and played out on camera. Instead it’s Chelsea’s story, with a little Adam thrown in. Each of them is blaming themselves for his condition, which is understandable since they’re both screwed up. But if the show wants to tell a story about this condition, then either show the kid dealing with it or give it to an adult who will be given screen time. No one is invested in the story the way it is now.

My widowed Daddy lived alone in a very rural area. No need to lock doors, and his 4 adult children would pop in at any time. One day he was in the basement doing laundry and heard someone come into the house and walk around for a while. When he came upstairs the bathroom door was closed so he just sat down and read the paper for a while. A very very very long while. Finally he knocked on the bathroom door and a female voice called out “Jes’ a Meenit”. Not one of his children…What to do ?? Then the door opened, a tiny old woman came out, headed for the front door, out to the yard and up the road. When he inspected the bathroom later he found that his entire new bottle of Aqua Velva was empty…Yep, drunks will drink anything.
Summer is stressed ?? Daniel, let her play the Little Lucy Game, cures everything, nuh ??
Why is Southern Ashleigh drinking tequila ?? Can’t WI barkeeps make a decent julep ??
Where do all these folks source chloroform ??
Very little is happening on these cheap azz sets, just people sitting around talking about what happened off screen.
And Mariah is now the victim of the wardrobe monsters. Gah !! Even if she does now weigh 300 ponds [doubtful] there are ways to dress her better. Glad that Nikki is now allowed to wear something flattering.
DeeDee & PeePee agreed on something…my head exploded.
No, Lily, you are not Neil’s bio daughter. No. Devon, you are not Neil’s bio son. Moses is Neil’s only bio child. So how about adding “Barber-McCall” to the company logo ?? With Abbott & Winters & Chancellor…can’t they just make it “CAWMB”…Kind of an “OOMMM” chant ?? Keep the future board meetings much calmer.

Need a break from the boredom.

I knew an old timer painter who kept a jar of dill pickles in his van so when he got pulled over the cops would think it was pickle juice and not liquor they smelled.

I ff’d seven episodes and plan on watching Friday’s episode. I am going to try to just watch the parts I like and ff the stupid mentally deranged plots and hope that the poor kid playing Connor isn’t traumatized with his OCD plot. I don’t include him in the mentally deranged sentence.

I want to discuss some behind the scenes people in charge stuff that is happening but I am not sure if needs to be blurred out spoilered or if okay to discuss openly. Plus, I can’t seem to find the spoiler icon, even though I once successfully spoiler tagged something here.

@Sake614 You have perfectly written what is wrong with the Connor story.

If it helps any, I am still trying to figure things out. For example, I was trying to figure out how to quote your post and accidentally hid it and couldn’t figure out how to unhide it, heh.

Do you mean on the show? Like in terms of writers and headwriters?

Or do you mean discussing stuff that might be happening behind the scenes at other sites, because if that is the case, I think any off-topic chat about other sites should be done via PM if possible. I think you can add multiple people to a PM.

As for spoiler posting something, you need to highlight what you want hidden and if you click on the settings icon there should be an option to blur spoiler.

I clicked the setting icon and it opened a box for several options if anyone else is having trouble.

eta maybe I should make time to play in the testy thread to learn stuff

Ah, then yes, it can be done here and spoiler tagged just in case. You can indicate what it’s concerning so people can decide if they want to read it or not.

E.g.: New writer information. Blah blah blabbidy blah

I’m hoping if this thread gets more traction we can eventually get a forum.

I was just watching a show where someone was drinking vanilla. Ive also heard of drinkig mouthwwash. I guess its a mini wine cellar for his special guests.

I heard the mouthwash one, especially Listerine because it contains a lot of alcohol. Also, NyQuil if I am not mistaken.

But they can’t drink cooking wine because of the high salt content. Which of course is why there is a high salt content in cooking wine.

Am I actually replying? I don’t think I can post even though I have “earned” six something-or-the-others… This place is screwy as hell. It is not conducive to open conversation. So one can only see “replies” if they do the drop down. Therefore, if one has read let’s say ten posts past let’s say a post about Victor’s basement, and then 25 people “reply” to that post, the person who has already read it and moved on will never know about the 25 “replies”, correct? Also that makes it very stagnant if one constantly has to go back to the beginning to follow select conversations instead of one open conversation. Which is particularly ridiculous for a show that airs five days a week.

@SweePea59, happy to have you.

This post should answer your questions, if not, let me know please.

I’m ready for the Jordan storyline to conclude.
The only problem is I don’t like anything else that’s going on. The Ashley’s are a bit amusing but also cringeworthy. I don’t care about Tucker anymore. They ruined Chance by pairing him with Summer. I’m sick of Summer acting like Harrison’s mom. I can’t stand Phyllis. I wouldn’t mind Conner and Adam but they throw in way too much Chelsea.
I could get behind Billy cheating on Chelsea with Lily.
I would like Tara to come back and Kyle fall in love with her and they marry. She gets to tell Summer that Harrison doesn’t need an ex step mom and if she leaves him alone now he will barely remember her.

@SweePea59 All replies show up on the page. I might have it wrong but I think the arrow/reply number within a post gives a poster reading the option to read all replies at once when they click it and then respond immediately if want to do before reading the whole page/s. I think it is a way to not have to do multi quote? You can still see all replies on the page if you don’t click that arrow/reply icon.

All the replies also show up for me. I’m not sure what that mean @SweePea59 but welcome aboard.

@SweePea59 If you see ^2reply and open it to read then read more posts and someone else replies after you are finished reading a page making it ^5reply the extra replies will show up down the thread, no need to go back and check the original post. And no need to open the ^reply at all unless you want to see the responses immediately.
It doesn’t “hide” replies. It organizes them if you want to respond immediately before reading all the posts.

Welcome to JAR @SweePea59 some nice folk have already responded (thanks all). We appreciate different forum software may take a little getting used to but we’re here if you have any further questions.

Thank you, but it just made my headache worse.

So as I understand it, there are no forums for Y&R and B&B. When will there be? That’s when I will be interested in being an active member and will have to figure it out as I go along.

No forum at this time for either, we’d have to see a lot more activity before we do that.

Sorry about the headache. :slightly_smiling_face:

@SweePea59 I am starting the process later today with Thumper’s guidance of setting up a House Hunters topic. If it helps your head I think someone can open up a Bold And Beautiful topic. I might try later if it isn’t done and if I manage to not deactivate the World Wide Web in my attempts with the HH topic, ha.
