Additional Comments: Man has invented the most used, more than the xbox, more than the
playstation, more than Bill Gates empire of Vista, used more than the
washing machine, the dishwasher, and the almighty 5000 cable
channels, yes i am talking of the t.v. Remote Control. With this
wonderful invention, we can mute out the world, record the
fastest police persuits, silence commericals , and above all,
fast forward ! This option is my favorite. I find i can fast foward
country western singers, silly treasure hunts of the hour, and
complete boring scenes of movies and soap opera's.

I cannot
tell you how it brightened my day, fast fowarding Phyllis and
Nicholas, and the singer what's his name, Phyllis's smirks,
Nicholas plastered smiles. Best scene today i dare not touch
was the poker game. Being the poker shark i am, i could not
move, i loved that scene. (was that our cliffhanger ?) Nevermind
more poker , less Phyllis and Nicholas thank you. Have a nice
weekend all.

Actually, it's the air conditioner. LOL!

But right behind that is the DVR - that works with the wonderful remote control! I did a FF through that whole song. It was so funny watching the exact same expressions on Phyllis and Nick's faces every time the camera panned in on them. BORING. Add in the card game - yep, thank the heavens for the remote control.

But I'm still sticking with the air conditioner for first place! ;-)

I'm right there with you, Nay, on the air conditionar. I live in (what else?) LAS VEGAS, where it gets to 115 degrees (and up) every summer. I simply could not live here without A/C!! VegasHank

I guess I am the only Trace Adkins fan on the board..I have at least 2 of his albums....There is more to life than classical and jazz (although I don't mind those in the right atmosphere)...

I ff'd the all the anniversary celebration scenes and most especially the singing. Frankly, I detest celebs when they appear on soaps, they usually can't act and I don't watch soaps for the music.

That is funny. I worked today and started watching when I got home. I watched pretty much but I must have gone to sleep. When I woke up Phyllis was hugging the singer and saying goodbye. LOL I missed the whole performance!

I FF the singing too. I love that song but the Phyllis and Nick part was nothing I wanted to see. That song makes me tear up, it's so true. I don't know why country music does it but they do like to make you emotional at times. Can't wait for Skye to take Dogchow to the cleaners. I believe Brad will enjoy it too, he is a snake lately.

Brad has been wicked lately, hasn't he!! /// Bd

I'm not country music's biggest fan and I never heard of Trace Adkins before his appearance on Y&R, but that song made me cry. I'm always telling my son to enjoy being the age he is NOW and not to wish his life away, 'cause you never get those years back. I also thought the song was appropriately poignant for Nick and Phyllis right now. Something tells me they're about to hit some major rough spots.

As much as I do love Country, and even Trace somewhat, I grabbed the remote and FF'd all the geetar and singing stuff too. It's just a waste of time and not what I watch the soap for..there's CMT for that. I'd rather the SL's moved along and made progress. At least the poker game was on target and showed lots of promise coming up. However, that only took up a few minutes and the rest of the hour was a dismal waste of time. I hate those outrageous staged party things these nuts come up with. Only the fictitious Nick could pull all that hunt stuff and barn extravganza off in one day.

I absolutely agree. I like country music, but I muted through that whole phony piece of dreck. Phyliss and Nick are enough to make me puke, without the sappy looks.

I have nothing against Trace Adkins but even he isn't worth having to watch those two!

I wonder if we all hit our FF buttons at the same time. lol :-)

hahahahahahahaha. I'm so with you on this one, Maryann. I actually breathed a sigh of relief for my remote today as I FF'd through the singing bit with all the goo-goo-eyes. The poker was fun and Skye is going to be a treat. She kept eyeing Nikki's David with a knowing look. Any ideas what she's up to with him? More than just taking his money? Could she have seen him before?
