Soap Operas Are in Trouble - Do You Care?

Last night, my husband and I heard that Guiding Light is being cancelled, after 72 years.

I have to admit that I was wondering why it took so long. Soap Operas seem like they're dinosaurs. Many women, who were their target market, are in the workforce. The consumer has more entertainment choices, including the Internet. There's also the issue of what I consider bad writing and boring story lines. Some people don't watch them due to the lack of morals.

I used to watch Young and the Restless, till we moved to our latest self storage but since we don't have high speed it's out of the question. And you know what? I'm not going out of my way to watch it on TV. (I'm working)

So, are you still watching soaps? Do you think it's time to pull the plug on all of them?

Marcus did a great job putting together the bathroom bench. I purchased it for my husband but it appears that I've found it helpful, as well. It a great place to sit and put on my oil, do a at-home pedicure and manicure.

I pulled out the crockpot and made Beer BBQ Chicken. One mistake, I poured the whole bottle in! The recipe called for 1 cup!

A old friend, from San Diego, stopped by yesterday. It was great to see her and her husband. Her company is moving to Vegas, this July, and they're purchasing a house. They also updated us on the bad economic news, in San Diego.
