After a rather gruelling few days, I'm kind of back, but I have a horrible headache and my skin hurts. As long as my eyes hold out, I can recap for today's OLTL. See you in about 45 minutes.
I'll be around for part of it. I'm working from home today. They installed more new carpeting in the office, so I'm homebound, after my anaphylactic shock last time!
I'll try too, but we are on the phone with the dummies at the IRS, they are saying we made more money last year than we claimed on our taxes, but I highly highly doubt it, and of course since they had our old address we didn't get the notice about it until a week and 3 days ago, so we aren't going to have all of the information to confirm whether what they are saying is true or not until after the deadline they've given us. Hey I don't mind paying the money if we owe it but I can't help but wonder if Cingular messed things up, because they are trying to say that I worked there last year and I know that i have been gone for 2 years. On top of that they are saying that they paid my husband over 2,000.00 for short term disability but we have not one single check stub from Gates McDonald, their short term disability provider. None of my bank records show it or anything like that either. So I'm rather upset with Cingular right now, because my husband tried and tried to get the Short Term time off pay when he was sick and they denied it. I have the freaking letter for that here in my files.
You knwo for once I'm not mad at the IRS, because if Cingular is trying to say that we made that much money than it's their fault and not the government but man is it hard to get ahold of htem.
LOL, Jess! It's not fun arguing with the feds, is it?
I'm holding on here, and I can take a couple more tylenol at 2:30. My shoulders and neck feel like there are steel rods in them. UGH. I kept telling my husband that it was the wrong time for his sister to visit, but he didn't want to disappoint her. Now he's got a puddle for a wife and no food in the fridge. I'm pretty angry with him for forcing this on me, and it's probably the reason I'm sick. I should have put my foot down and said no, but decided to soldier on, and this is what I get for my martyrdom, lol.
ugh...I wont even be here. My new years resolution was to lose like 30 pounds in time for my best friends wedding in June. So I am gym bound. So let me thank you all in advance for the LP so i will know whether the show is worth watching or not...
Hey, Shelly - I could send my s-i-l down to stay with you for a few days. She'll have you trotting off to the bathroom every ten minutes and throwing up too. I lost 2 dress sizes and she was only here a few days. She's a lovely lady, but....but.....but, LOL.
Id say send her, but I think I am going to try and lose the weight the right way. You know healthy eating, exercise...ugh, well I will talk to you ladies later....oh and men too
Well, here we are on Monday's LP, and it's Nash and Layla at Capricorn, chit chatting. She asks him about Jessica and the cave.
Ugh, MArty finds Jessica someplace (Capricorn?) and she introduces Brennan, aka Bree. Cris enters his dump to find Van in the kitchen. Lotsa gushing and nibbling. She shows him a computer she bought for him - it's his future.
Nat calls John to ask how he's doing as Bo comes to his door. Nat reminds John to take his meds.
Thalia gets under Huffer's skin and Vince is there mumbling on about how Cris lit the fire. Nat asks him if he'a accusing Cris of aarson and he says "you're damn right".
Nora is having lunch with RJ and he makes her laugh and smile. He admits she does the same for him and he's needed that for a long while.
Nat, Huffer and Vince get into a yelling match about the arson, and Nat says to Huff that she'll take care of this. Thalia gets in Huff's face and he tells her to prove Vincent used the insurance maney and burnt down his own place.
Layla asks Nash if anyhting happened in the mine and he replies, "yes and no".
Marty and Jess - Jess explains the circumstances around Brennan's birth, about Tess and NAsh, and her integration. JEss tells Marty she felt something surprising when she was with Nash. Hmmmm.....tell me more, lol.
VAn gloats over her expensive investment in Cris' future and he says he can't accept it.
Well I'm still holding for help from someone from the IRS gees how hard can it be to just tell them Cingular sucks and isn't helping us get the information we need so we need more time? Wait this is the IRS no offense if anyone is associated with it, but they are red tape central.
Dang it Branny, I thought you said I could call work anytime I had a problem with anything I didn't think it had to be related to the software I bought.
Jess gushes to Marty about how wonderful Antoio is and how she couldn't have made it without him, then recounts the story of the cave-in, etc. Jess reluctantly tells Marty about getting half naked, Marty bobbing her head up and down like a kewpie doll. Jess says that lying there with Nash felt a little too familiar, and she's confused. Meanwhile, Nash tells Layla the same story and she blurts "Did you sleep with her?", LOL. No, Nash explains it wasn't sexual, but they were fighting all the time. Layla gets that Nash wouldn't jump on Jessica, and so does Antonio.
John's having a non-alcoholic beer with Bo, and they talk about how it feels to be a cop stuck in the hospital. Too bad Natalie doesn't understand that. Bo warns John that another stunt like the other night with Truman, and he's off the job. John says, yeah, he gets it. Bo wants John back and he really doesn't want him to do anything to mess that up. Bo leaves, and John looks at his pills, recalls NAt's reminder and takes 2 pills from the bottle. Oops - he takes outt a file from the drawer.
Nat's talking to Vince about the arson. Isn't it possible that someone is trying to frame Cris? He calls her on her avenging angel crap. She defends Cris as being the type to confront his enemy, not plot some surreptitious revenge. Thalia has the list of suspects in the arson.
LOL, Cris tells Van he's supposed to be the man in this relationship (over the expensive computer gift) and they argue, big time. He demands she take the computer back and stomps off. (What an ass, lol.)
Yeah I guess my complaint that my computer wouldn't tell me where Josh Casaubon was was an invalid inquiry. I think the company would make a lot more money if they could make computers do that.
OhOh! Lindsay interrupts RJ's lunch with Nora and makes a bit of a scene about how he doesn't have enough time for her but he does for Nora. Lindsay's actually in the wrong here, but rather than RJ seeing what was really going on, he jumps all over her for being silly.
Chem test between Thalia and Huffer as she questions his impartiality in not putting his brother on the suspect list.
Mommy Van demands that Cris come downstairs and talk to her right now...and he does, LOL! She goes on about how she got the computer as a gift to help him, just like he did for her when she was blind. Then she continues that if he isn't MAN enough to accept the laptop.......and he kisses her. Good god.
Layla and Nash discuss Jessica and the proximity. He says it's a pointless conversation because Jess is married to Antonio and is in l ove with him. Flash over to Marty telling Jess that she needs to ask herself if she is in love with two men.
Jess denies having feelings for Nash, but she feels guilty for Tess's memories. Marty advises her to think of Nash as an ex. Oh, yeah, Jess is emphatic that she loves Antonio, and only Antonio, blah, blah, blah. Jess tells Marty that she wants Brennan to know both of her fathers, blah, blah.
Kissy face Cris and Van as he finally accepts her computer. He has to learn how to use it first, LOL!
Mumbles Vince to Thalia something about Nat having been once married to Cristian. Hmmm....Thalia will look into this!
Nat's home and pisses off John when he learns that Nat sent Bo over to keep an eye on him. John explodes and asks all pissy when Nat brings out some food for him. Things are not going too well....and now she finds his pain pills that he's not taking.
Bo listens in as Lindsay and Nora fight over RJ. Nora storms off, and Lindsay is accused by RJ of being petty and this isn't working. RJ leaves, and Bo comes Lindsay's rescue with a handkerchief.
Nash tells Lauyla that he's going to accept Huffer's offer to run Capricorn because he feels he owes him. Layla says that under the circumstances, it's all unbelievable. Huffer overhears and says "it certainly is".
Yikes! Nat put two capsules of John's pain meds in his stew. He has no idea...yet.
Jess gushes to Marty that she thinks she needs more advice. Marty replies that she needs to put as much distance between herself and Nash as possible. Jess says yep - that's why she hs to keep Nash out of Capricorn.
Huff asks Nash to take over Capricorn so e can spend more time at the police station. Layla says "oh no, say you're not going to do this".
John is falling asleep after eating his laced stew.
I don't like this forced meds either. It's true that people heal faster if they are not in pain, and John's being a total ass here, but this writing is silly. To me, it looks like John's being a snarky little kid, while Nat's being the overbearing mother. Doesn't work for me.
See this is why I don't think they work together. I'm sure she could have thought of a better way to persuade him. She's a woman hello!!! What do guys like?
