Ava is no longer allowed to have problems of her own, or at least get to discuss them with any other characters. Instead, she has basically become the therapist for everyone else. Maura gets whatever bottom of the barrel storyline they can toss to her at any given time. #GH

Monet’s Poplars series almost didn’t happen because the trees were about to be cut down. So he purchased them until he finished painting, then sold them back.

I loved being in marching band back in the day!

My mom and brother are watching the beginning of season 5 of Stranger Things, and I am watching a special on the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Happy almost Thanksgiving.

And that freaking last storyline she was in with Kristina was only served to make Kristina look better. They ruined Rava and had her whack Rik over the head just like she did Nik. This writing for her is boring, repetitive, and mostly atrocious. The writers could care less for Maura. #GH

Sister Act! It’s been 28 years since this iconic Soap Opera Weekly cover of Kim Zimmer and Laura Wright. Two powerhouse sisters taking on Alan and Annie was peak Guiding Light. Reva and Cassie brought fire, heart, and unforgettable drama. Share your favorite memories of this duo! #guidinglight

Heather Jansch, British sculptor who was known for creating life-sized sculptures of horses from driftwood #womensart

Monet sometimes painted with twenty brushes in rotation—each loaded with a different tone of the same color.

Pringles Select Parmesan Garlic (2007-circa 2011): Crispy, airy potato crisps flavored with "freshly grated parmesan cheese and a faint hint of garlic" per the package. Part of Pringles "fancy" line, they were sold in bags rather than the traditional cans/stacks.

I love getting lost in a good romance novel. I'll always be a hopeless romantic bookworm.

I miss her so much, and not just on #GH. #MauraWest

The work of Jane Peterson (1876-1965), US Impressionist and Expressionist painter #womensart

Monet’s Impression, Sunrise (1872) captured Le Havre rebuilt after the Franco-Prussian War. 🚢 Critics mocked its “unfinished” style, but some historians now read it as a symbol of France’s regeneration.

Congratulations, Dolly! We love to see it!

Gosh, I miss them so much. I can't even truly express how much. CarJack FOREVER. Lightning in a bottle. #ATWT #GH just throws Maura to whoever now. While I did enjoy her and Rick Hearst, it was always abundantly clear that they Ric and Ava were always temporary. Just like Ava and Nik. #MauraWest

The Seine and the Chaantemesle Hills - 1880 https://botfrens.com/collections/41/contents/9536

I need to go to bed, but I'm finishing this romance novel I started a while back, and it's giving me all the CarJack feels!

37 years ago today, ‘The Land Before Time’ released in theaters.

Train's "Drops of Jupiter" just hit Diamond with 10 million copies sold in the US! Released in 2001, this rock classic topped charts worldwide and won a Grammy for its iconic string arrangement. Still timeless.

Mentally, I'm here. NOBODY does angst like them. And I miss Maura getting to work that angst muscle. CarJack FOREVER. #ATWT #MauraWest #GH

YES, all of the characters NEED backstory now more than ever. Portia and Ava, especially. But #GH only wants to focus on who they want to focus on. We NEED fleshed out characters so we can understand where they are coming from. It's missing so much on GH.

...It would make sense as to why she acts and behaves in the way that she does.

So true! The problem with Portia is her expecting Trina's outlook in life and who she dates to be in lockstep with hers. She's never liked the idea of Trina thinking for herself. I've always saw Portia has emotionally immature. Perhaps if they had given us a window into who she was growing up...

Trina's real momma. #GH

I glimpsed yesterday's Ava scenes. Maura rocked that tie on her shirt, kind of an ode to the late Diane Keaton with the men's wear! She also honored Diane Keaton/First Wives Club in 2018 Nurse's Ball with "You Don't Own Me." I always love Ava being there for Trina, regardless of the writing. #GH

Please join me in wishing Liz Keifer a Happy Birthday! Fans loved her as Blake on Guiding Light. She’s kicking up her heels in Follies at the Depot Theater through 11/23. And this Angels-inspired Guiding Light photo shoot remains one of my favorites ever created for fans. Happy Birthday, Liz!
