Which Came First



Question of the day, which came first, the mother of all bitches stephanie forester or the bitch ho brooke logan...thanks to anon poster yesterday for making me think about it and I'll try and answer...first of all I love both the characters, but I hate em, they are the way they are I think because of daddy problems early on, but that is no excuse for their behavior. I think stephanie was always controlling and manipulative and not a nice person. Brookie is needy and insecure and seems to look for daddy everywhere, she's also controlling and manipulative and partcularly uses sexual persuasions to get her way while stephanie belittles and humiliates people to get what she wants.


It is really hard to fathom that brookie has slept with all the forester men, and married em too, starting with eric now known as hunnybear thanks to another logan sister. I can absolutely understand why stephanie would hate brookie for stealin her husband because that is total humiliation for her, and then, brookie pours salt in the wound and marries ridge and thorny too, hasn't she done this six or seven times.


Of course stephanie has done everything in her power to stop brookie but with no luck, oh she wiped her up with a towel after her tongue lashings, humiliated her again and again, and was essentially responsible for brookie's rape by the bad man. They both act and react to each other by doin the same things over and over with very little result, at least not in the happiness department.


I think that stephanie and brookie are both parts of one whole, and each would not be the same without the other. There is really one heroine/villainess here and one of the best soap opera characters ever...I love em, I hate em, couldn't do without em, am always shocked at what they do...have you noticed how brookie seems to be becoming more and more like stephanie and now she's trying to control her son the way stephanie has always tried to control ridge. When Susan Flannery finally leaves B&B it will leave a huge gap, course I bet brookie's up to the task of bein the mother of all bitches, oh yeah.


Short and sweet recaps of todays soaps...on B&B katie got stormy's heart, brookie was guilt ridden cause she jumped to conclusions and yelled at stormy...I was pissed off that ridge was there, and absolutely amazed that bridget is now a heart surgeon, she's sure accomplished alot in the past two years.


Bad day for Nuke on ATWT cause poor luke had a big old fight with noah cause ameera was there, like hovering, and he wanted to be alone with noah but couldn't, so my poor luke is very unhappy right now, and so is noah, but ameera looked pretty pleased with it all as she put her stuff back in the bedroom. And, it seems that the colonel will soon be returning to oakdale, how he gets out of jail would be a great question, but look for him to cause big problemos. Got nothing on other doings around oakdale except that carly and holden keep bumpin into each other, but ya know they just don't have any chemistry, no, they don't...and looks like parker will probably end up bein badbrad's daughter liberty's boyfriend, I have visions of them frolickin at the snyder pond, katieho is bein understandin, why I don't know, paul, meg, sophie and mike are still boring, and jack is still bein an ass...

Stormy and Stormy Weather


Today was a sad day on B&B, like it really made me sad cause poor beleaguered, guilt-ridden Stormy killed himself so that katie could have his heart. Suicide is serious business and I guess I was surprised that the writers would do this story, but of course katie had to be saved. Stormy was a character we hardly knew, the big brother who raised his sisters, who shot stephanie, who accidentally shot his sister katie, and who decided it was better to save her than himself...I will admit to bein a little verklempt when Stormy was remembering the good times with his sisters...and I guess that's one less thing ridge has to worry about now.


It was another kind of storm wreaking havoc on ATWT today...carjack can't seem to stop bickering and fightin in front of the kids, and I see storm clouds on the horizon in the carly/holden relationship, all hell is gonna break loose if they hook up...meanwhile another little storm called Liberty told brad he was her dad from a union during the junior prom waaaaaaay back with juicy janet, can't wait to meet her, heeeeeeeee...so until the dna results are in liberty is stayin with brad and katieho...if I liked katieho I might feel some sympathy for her, but I don't, so I don't, feel sympathy...meanwhile margo still has a big time grudge with emily for gettin it on with prosecutor tom waaaaaaaaaaaay back when, long memory there...so margo and casey are buttin heads over bein employed by emily, another big, huuuuge storm brewin right there...once again alison and nuchris totally put me to sleep, somethin about throwin up, don't care...a lot of foreshadowing today on things to come...and a nice preview of luke and noah, looks like they're alone at last, at last...

The Smug and the Ugly


Events on B&B turned ugly today as stormy shot his sister katie...by accident...some people just create tragedy for themselves and katie is one of those people who keeps jumpin into other people's business, and if she hadn't jumped into the middle of the ashley-stormy nonstarter romance, she would be ok, but noooooooooo, once again she dove right in and ended up fightin with stormy over the gun...ok so a sane guy goes and buys a gun cause he's gonna prove to his love that just because he shot someone doesn't mean he's a bad guy...like I don't think he's really a bad guy, but I do think he's off his rocker...and obviously so does ashley...but, the real culprit here is the ever nasty, hypocritical, and super smug ridge who had to go and tell ashley all about stormy, he's another one who thinks it's okay to just dive into everyone else's life cause he's always right...and of course you can always go back to the true beginning of this, the bitch of all bitches who started this whole logan-forrester rivalry, well it's the she-devil herself, the smug and the ugly stephanie forester...


So we won't know til monday what happens but I guess they'll find a donor and katie will get a heart transplant and live a long and nosy life. Nick will fall in love with her much to bridget's dismay, and we won't even go there with what brookie will do. Maybe stormy will go to jail this time or perhaps a much needed 24/7 pheesacheeatrist ward. Maybe taylorlips can become useful once again.


Which reminds me, monday and tuesday were great brookie watchin days...the look on her face as rick proclaimed his love for and engagement to taylorlips, well, priceless, and the shock and dismay when taylorlips won back custody of babyjack was something I've been waitin for for awhile, heeeeeeeeeeeee, truly a happy dance makin show. Now if we could somehow get the self-righteous smugness off of ridge's face, we could have a really great party.

The Love Shack


It is soooooo great that Luke and Noah will be roomies...too bad ameera's stayin, but anyway it's good for the boys to have their own space, just wonderin who'll be sleepin on the couch, coughameeracoughcough...grassy knoll theory time...still not sure about ameera's motives though, she was pretty pissed off when she shoved her little black dress into that drawer, kinda like mission not accomplished, but is that because she really likes noah or because she hasn't fulfilled the colonel's mission yet...


Maybe I'm so enamored of Nuke that the rest of the show pales in comparison but the only interesting thing for me today was the first appearance of badbrad's daughter...I hear his ex, or one of em, will be showing up soon too in Oakdale...the excruciatingly boring paul-meg-sophie and now add mike to that mix story must end soon...what is it with sophie, seems to think she can change men into good guys, geez...


And be prepared soon for nulily to appear now that my beloved martha byrne is gone because cbs wanted it so, whhhhhyyyyyy, don't know but dumb move, anyway there's gonna be a new lily and they tried that once before and I'll bet it flops bigtime, like last time, and then they can crawl back to martha, hang in there martha...


And maybe most silly of all is the potential holden-carly "relationship" story, I'll call it carlyho, heeeeeeeeeee...I cannot imagine holden goin after carly ever, and apparently jack is gonna be tight with lily, think I'll call that one jackly, they're like wife swappin or something, and it's totally out of character, kinda the way ATWT is right now, out of character, out of sorts, out of ideas...I suggest more kissin for everyone...

Finally


Today's the day we've all been waiting for, Nuke finally had another kiss. Last time was waaaaaaaaay back in the fall so this was an unexpected and sweet treat. Good thing too cause Ameera is up to no good. Don't know exactly why but she really wants to "consummate" the "marriage." Sweetpea don't you know it's not a real marriage, geez, or is the colonel ordering you to do this, hmmm...anyway, today ameeera's all weepy in the bathroom and she tells noah it's her birthday, so noah calls luke cause noah never knows what to do, so they go shoppin for ameera...after buyin her some jewelry they're sayin bye bye outside, with spies all around, uh huh, in oldtown, luke is about to leave and noah grabs him, luke smiles a devlish little smile and says, what about the "authorities" and noah says, what about em, and he kisses luke, and they kiss and kiss, sigh...but then noah goes home all happy and there is ameera in a slinky little black dress, and noah says that's not what I want, and ameera says how do you know, and noah says, cause I've tried it and it's not for me, so ameera goes and kisses noah and we have to wait til tomorrow to see what happens next, damn...an A+++ day just because of the kiss...

Birthin Petite Paper Pendants




I've had sooooooo much fun over the last few days birthin something new...they are petite paper pendants, approximately 1 square inch made with paper, wire, and a variety of embellishments. I love paper, there are so many ways to use it creatively and I'm not done yet, there seems to be no end to the possibilities. The really great thing is they're very affordable, a mere $4.95 and you provide the chain or cord or even a nice ribbon. I'm including a couple of pictures here so you can get the idea and please check out http://www.tamaris.etsy.com for more. And, I would love to know what you think.

What's Love Got to Do With It


All is not well in the land of the turning world, no...today was Nuke day, and the day the evilameera finally let her true feelings be known, but are they true...evilameera kissed noah while filming luke's movie and gee you could hear a pin drop, the room was in shock and awe for sure, and luke was shootin out those disapproving looks like daggers and if looks could kill well then evilameera would be history by now. Of course casey knew the truth and dragged it out of ameera, but how could she deny the obvious, she's in love with noah. But is she really, hmmm...conspiracy theory number one says it's the colonel behind the whole thing and ameera's mission is to tear the two apart and make noah straight, geez...on the other hand she could indeed have fallen for noah just cause they're married and the cultural differences might suggest ameera can't differentiate between a marriage of convenience and that of love, nor does she apparently understand what gay means...in any event apparently next week she goes after noah big time all dressed up in a slinky black number and kissin on him with intent to seduce. How will the clueless noah handle this, well it better be well cause luke is none to happy with noah right now. It's time to end this miserable story and get our boys back together while kickin the evil one to the curb. Whatever the reason for her doing what she is, she does know exactly what she's doing and for that I have no sympathy.


The rest of the show was about flying balloons, Barbar being grumpy, what else is new, sophie being a saint again, nuchris bein boring, and emily being a bitch as usual...nothing new here, tune in, maybe next week will be better.


Meanwhile over on B&B terrible tiny bit the dust and it turns out it was psychopammy's fault for not givin him his meds, and I thought it was lemon bars...so donnaho isn't a murderess after all but the problem is psychopammy thinks she is and blames donnaho for tiny's early demise...watch out next week after psychopammy stops takin her meds, it won't be pretty. Hide the teabags...


And once again brookie is in memememe mode...seems taylorlips is officially sane again much to brookie's chagrin...she is insisting taylorlips not be allowed near HER babyjack...well this is gonna be a trainwreck cause nick isn't gonna do that...I'm seein a big court battle bout just who the hell is babyjack's mommy, and just wait til brookie finds out that rick and taylorlips are engaged, heeeeeeeeeeehhhhheeeeheeeeeeeee, I just cannot wait to see the look on her face...brookie is seriously crazy right now and anything could happen, ya know how unstable those logan's really are...stormy weather ahead...

Wedding Joy-Thank God For Small Favors

Today the joyous televised nups between katieho and badbrad actually happened. Carjack fans everywhere thank youuuuuuuuuu!!! Oh there were a few bumps and hiccups, heeeeeeeeeee, along the way but generally it went smoothly...the first time they went to commercial was when katieho started hiccuping right in the middle of the lovely ceremony with henry as the minister replacing the minister who froze solidly in place once the cameras started rolling, good thing henry still has his minister's certificate, oh yes...in a lovely moment a guilt ridden margothedumbestcopever arrived to be at her sister's wedding and scared her out of the hiccups...okay then moving right along, the wedding resumed with margo replacing henry as male of honor, and thennnnnn poor katieho just fainted dead away when tryin to say I do, she couldn't get it out, I guess she was nervous but I think what caused the fainting was all that makeup she had on, wow, lots of makeup...anyway, so they revived her and henry did a fast forward ceremony and that was that, they are now mr. and mrs. and hopefully she'll keep her little hands off of carly's g-man...nuff said.

Meanwhile the rest of oakdale was either missing or realllly boring today...but stay tuned for tomorrow cause it's gonna be a good one...the evilameera is gonna kiss noah, oh yes she is up to no good, casey is gonna tell luke about it, and someone is gonna confront evilameera about it, but what I'm wondering is what noah will do, hmmm, does he love the beautiful luke or is he feeling sorry for the evil one, will Nuke ever kiss again, stay tuned I guess cause tomorrow's another day...

Oh and one interesting thing I noticed today...ATWT is doing lots more outdoor shots, to save money and all, and they've been at the Snyder pond this week. Now I guess it's a pretty big pond but what they've been showing is the barren part with no trees at all, and for like 20 years they've been showing the pond as heavily vegetated, so what's with the bareness thing, are we just seeing one little edge, guess we must be cause we KNOW there's lots of trees and bushes cause all of oakdale has been doin it out there for YEARS, and if it's all barren then no one would be doin it, but still I find it strange and confusing and wonder where the trees are...show us the trees!!!

Tiny, We Hardly Knew You


Poooooor Tiny is a goner...looks like he overdosed on too many of psychopammy's lemon bars. And she said they were good. Looks like the culprit is none other than psychopammy's current objet d' hate, the stunningly vacuous and overtanned donnaho...we all saw her toss a lemon bar Tiny's way and then left the lid off of the others, we all know what happens when you give a dog a bone, he wants another...well in this case one lemon bar just lead to another and to another...who knew lemon bars were fatal to dogs, hmmmm...I didn't know that, no, so I'm guessin donnaho didn't either, so does that make her merely negligent rather than a doggiemurderess...stay tuned, I guess we shall find out...

Meanwhile, in tribute to Tiny's memory, let us have a moment of silence for Tiny, let us remember him as he was, a growling, mean old dog, a dog who loved his psychopammy mommy...we will miss you Tiny, sure, we will, really, we will...

Groovin on Pendants


Groovin on a Tuesday afternoon...I am loving pendants right now, all kinds of pendants, made from different stuff, unusual, eclectic, and sooooo much fun to make. It is a beautiful spring day and I'm really in the mood to make joolz...I keep lookin for different things to use, don't want to get bogged down in the same old same old. I'm also going to get more into paper as a finding cause you can do so much with it...meanwhile I've enclose a little photo of a few of my recent efforts at pendant making. If anyone has any great ideas of unusual things to use in jewelry I'd love to hear em...

Really I Do


On ATWT, our poor little heroinette katieho is havin a real hard time marryin lovedujour badbrad...poor little thing keeps gettin all conflicted over mikethegood and mybestfriendjack cause she never slowed down and was willing to be allllll alone for a little while and figure things out before diving in again...TBSS...so all she's done for a few days is whine and complain and has been cryin a non-stop river, well that river is now at flood stage...is she maybe in love with all of em...katieho is a lot like brookie on B&B, she wants em all until she has em...it was tres funny today on B&B when even katie rolled her eyes when brookie started proclaiming how she was babyjack's mother and all, and frankly nick looked worried...brookie doth protest taylorlips insanity too much, I think brookie's the one on the edge, but I'm tryin to figure out what her problem is, does she really want nick so much that she's in a hysteria-induced delusion about bein babyjack's mom, she doesn't seem to care bout ridge at all...well I guess we'll find out but meanwhile I can't wait to see the look on her face when she finds out that nick is gettin involved with katie, heeeeeeeeeeeeee, that's gonna be priceless.

Meanwhile back on ATWT, carjack had a bad day. Carly is finally growin some balls and is tellin it like it is with wtfiswrongwithjack...I love my carjack but maybe they need a little break and he needs to get real jealous, perhaps he could get together with brookie, have a little fling, and run cryin back to carly when he get's dumped when brookie decides her destiny is to be with ridge, again...

Anyway, I'm lookin forward to the katieho-badbrad on air nups later this week, palkimmy puts on a really great show, and from last weeks previews looks like so will katieho when surrounded by all those ex husbands.

No Nuke sighting today, so what else is new...

Trouble


Trouble is brewing in As the World Turns land, trouble, trouble, trouble...for everyone, but especially for my darling luke...course we know whose doin it, it's the evermoreevilameera quietly manipulating noah who is turning into a complete idiot...strange how a fraudulent marriage can make some people feel all responsible and guilty about the loveless marriage and the person they don't know or maybe even like, and they in fact like the opposite sex like soooo much more you might say, damn, it's the colonel talking...and that ameera is a smart little cookie, well so far...saw on next week's previews that casey figures it out without too much trouble and tells luke that ameera is after his boyfriend...so I'm seeing idiotnoah probably gettin more and more defensive and protective of the evil one, luke being verrrrry hurt, and I think before it's all over we'll see the colonel's hand in this somewhere, it's just too convenient that ameera showed up the way she did...well I for one hate her, just hate her hate her hate her...

Meanwhile the new triangulation of badbrad, katieho, and mikeythegood is escalating, looks like mikey's not goin down without a fight...of course katieho has NO loyalty to anyone so I can see her fallin back into the mikeylove thing again, at least til simon comes back for a visit, or bumps into jack on purpose and cries her ittybitty eyes out...hate her...

And there go those snyder men again bein all self-righteous and holier than thou, like where does that come from, hmmmm...love em and hate em...maybe if simon comes back soon he can get together with the much deserving lily and carly who also have a "past" with him, as well as katieho whose the closest he'll ever get to love...hate him, but love him more...

In The Zone


Okay so usually I start my jewelry making around soap time, but for today only, since I'm up early, I'll start in the morning instead. I'm very organized but to start my process I pull out shiny bright things that catch my eye...I may have a vague idea of the direction I'm going in but usually just seeing all the posibilities gives me, um, possibilities. I start playing with color combinations, which leads to type of beads, which makes me think of chain types and color. The more I push stuff around the more ideas I get and I usually just go in the direction that suits my mood.

Sometimes I'll have a very specific idea or theme...themes help a lot when deciding where to begin...if you think summer what do you think of...well that could be many things, might be pale shades of off whites and light colors, or might be bright, vivid colors that look like blooming flowers. So many possibilities, so little time...

Inspiration is also a great way to get going. Sometimes it's something you see, or maybe a smell that reminds you of something which leads to a sort of color plan, and as you dig into the beads and the silver, and whatall you get what you're after. The chunky bracelet picture posted above is an example of inspiration. I looooooove chunky beads and when I found these I had to, had to have em, cause I could just see what I was going to do with it. This is the beginning of the zone, kind of a different kind of zone which is yippee-yay excitement, and a feeling of aha!!!

So what happens is I kind of pre-arrange the item and start working on it...that's when I get into the zone, hours pass like minutes, I am completely happy, I notice nothing except what I'm doing. I love the zone, it is a free, creative and happy place to be, and the more you create the easier it is to get into.

And then, when you're done, you can look at your piece, and on the days when it works, it is remarkable to look at what you've done and say, damn, good stuff...there is really nothing like creating something from your hands.

That Damned Mona Lisa Smile



So I'm watchin ATWT today, a can't wait day cause Nuke will appear...so it turns out Luke's helpin Noah and Ameera move to the new place, and like Luke's not too happy but off they go, and like finally Casey takes Ameera out for ice cream, way to go Casey!...so they're alone, they're finally alone, they're jumpin on the bed, they're gleeful, joyous, I'm verklempt, they stop jumpin, they rip each other's shirts off, they're close together, they're almost kissing...and then...poundpoundpound goes the door...it's that pesky agent again. Ohhhhhhhhh nooooooooooo...meanwhile Casey and Ameera have returned and see the guy, Ameera goes round back and climbs in the window while Luke climbs out the window...pesky agent opens bedroom door to find the ever demure Ameera putting her scarf on, Luke and Casey knock on door and pretend to have just arrived, foiled again, too bad I say, can't they do better than this, like catch em already and send her back!!! Luke is very hurt and tells Noah he doesn't know how long he can do this. The sneaky Ameera, who is either being paid by the colonel to do this, or is just delusional, is unhappy cause what she wants is a real marriage...Casey has advised her to tell Noah all, but she hasn't yet. Noah decides they have to sleep in the bedroom together in case agent useless comes back...fade to black as that tiny little smile appears on Ameera's face.



Damn, looks like this is going to be a loooooooong, convoluted story, designed to tear the guys apart. I'm thinking that Luke needs a new boyfriend stat. Noah's selflessness has become selfish as hell. I'm starting to dislike Ameera as much as katieho...


Which leads to the katieho-badbrad engagement party where at one point katieho is surrounded by two ex-husbands and one husband to be, heeeeeeeeee, damn that girl gets around...I see nothing but trouble ahead and that's ok, just leave carjack out of it...


Which then leads to carjack and like jack is finally crackin and kissin his carly and at least they are gonna get to do it, but according to tomorrow's previews it doesn't look like that'll last too long cause jack can be such an ass, and I'm almost wishin Simon would come back about now and make jack jealous, or maybe Mike can do that...I'd love to see katieho's face if Mike and Carly got together, that is the moment katieho would go after Mike with a vengeance, although she'd be torn if Simon was there. Stay tuned...


B&B was full of boring Nick story today, the only interesting thing is self-righteous brookie becoming more stephbitch-like every day...I am lookin forward to the day brookie loses it all, I mean ridge and nick and babyjack and bridget and rick...yeah I'm waitin for that moment...

Snarky Soap Updates

I need inspiration to do really great soap updates and since that depends on how interesting the shows are, daily updates probably wouldn't work unless you feel like napping...but this is good news cause you'll get the best of the best. On the Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) I am particularly inspired by brookie's self-righteous indignation over the state of affairs between her son rick and taylorlips, geez, brookie has slept with every guy but her son and don't ever count that out if she gets really desperate, and rick, what can you say except he's fallin in love with someone new every two seconds. Of course I love the evil stephbitch, the mother of all bitches, and I'm truly enjoying the absurdity of the may-december romance between donnaho and hunnybear eric, heeeeeeeeheeeeeeeheeeeeeee...and what can you say about the teabag eating psychopammy except WOW!!! Three big exclamation points there...never see anyone down a teabag the way she did. Be very afraid...

So far I'm hatin all the newbies on As the World Turns (ATWT)...they are great for fallin asleep to...there's boring sophiemissinnocentyeahright, drjekyllnuchris, the evilameera, trying to come between my NUKE, evil hissssss evil, and whoever else is new but is sooooo boring that I forgot them.

I am a Carjack fan, and finally my long wait for the g-mans return is coming to fruition...I'll have a complete recap, second by second analysis when the joyous moment occurs later this week. I do NOT like the insane, mean, nasty, and confused katiehobitch, especially all her tryin to get Carly's g-man...I do like her with badboybrad, he is soooooooo cute. There's many more I do like which I'll go into as story arises, but I've saved the best for last...that is of course my beloved NUKE. My favorite is Luke, he of the looks, the deep looks from those beautiful eyes, he of the holy hair (term coined by an unknown blogger somewhere out there, but thank you). Too many days go by without any sighting at all, too many almost kisses happen, as if they never kiss...but I'm hopin that with Noah and Ameera movin into gwen and will's place that the story will start progressing with some sleepovers, oh yeah, and of course summer's comin up so the Snyder pond will become available for adventure, like everyone else in Oakdale has done it at the Snyder pond, so I'm hopin things will start to happen.

So anyway, that's a preview of sorts of the snark that will await you almost every day. Hope you tune in...

Makin Joolz As the World Turns

Well it's going to be interesting combining joolz making and soaps...of course making joolz is the fun part and trying to sell em is much like being in the middle of a soap opera, there are a lot of characters to get used to and drama in the forums every day. My primary showcase for joolz is etsy, that's short for eventually turning sales your way. Now etsy is a wonderful place and I love it but competition is stiff and you've got to be up to it. Time to put on my Lucinda Walsh hat and dream up some glorious ideas for world domination on etsy. If you've ever watched ATWT you'll know who Lucinda is, quirky, crusty, devious, brilliant and very rich. I'd like to see Lucinda try and sell something on etsy...go ahead give it your best shot Lucy. And just like on soaps you'll never see me doing any actual work cause it's all done in between times, in between promoting, planning, and scheming...clawing my way to the top is gonna take time. I hope you'll go with me on this grand adventure into etsydom. I've been checking out the billions of other places to show your stuff too and I'll report back, after all Lucinda's company Worldwide is not a one trick pony...too crafty for that, heeeee, I said crafty...

Luke and Noah in the Afternoon While Making Joolz for the Bold and the Beautiful As the World Turns

I have a few passions, As the World Turns, particularly the story of Luke and Noah, the Bold and the Beautiful, why, just cause it's soooo snarkable, making and selling jewelry, and did I say Luke and Noah. The easiest way to talk about em all is to combine the topics, so you'll get a mix of soap updates, the best of snarky soap observations, and what it takes to succeed in the insane world of selling jewelry on the internet. The first lesson learned about selling is ya gotta sell, selfless promotion is the name of the game so I'll entice you with beautiful jewelry pics and a linkylink to look at more on the etsy sales site, hinthintcoughcough...but mainly the pics will just be there and I'll mostly be recapping my favorites soaps and waxing eloquent on my Luke and Noah passion. I'm hopin ya'll will enjoy some havin some fun with me. Things will get snarky at times but soaps are made for that, so if you aren't the snarky type this probably won't be for you, just look at the joolz instead, heeeeeeeee...stay tuned, I'll be busy for a few days just settin it up...
