Vocal Plus Quick Edit is worth its weight in gold
I know there are creators who write for Vocal Media who are questioning whether or not to join Vocal+. The idea of paying money to a site where you are trying to earn income might not sound feasible to a struggling writer. In this world of Internet scams, it is wise to suspect that something sounds too good to be true but I am a witness that Vocal+ is indeed all that has been promised.

Those who watch THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS are debating what is really going on between Jack Abbott and Sally Spectra. As the date for Kyle to exit Genoa City draws near there are three basic theories. The first is that Jack will succumb to Ms. Spectra's wiles end up in bed with her and be hurt when the truth comes out.

Five-week months wreak havoc on the finances
My grandma often spoke about months that had five weeks in them and how this could cause financial issues. While I was working a job where I got paid every Friday the extra week was a blessing. Four times a year I received an additional paycheck and looked forward to it. Once I began receiving retirement I recalled what my grandma said and realized that for me along with many others her words ring true.

Paris Buckingham's agenda on The Bold and the Beautiful
Those who watch THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL are scratching their heads over Paris Buckingham's latest move. Viewers are desiring clarity in what is really going on but have yet to get it. Some fans are saying they did not even know that Zoe's little sis was living with her because their home was never shown. The siblings had a strong rivalry and Zoe wanted Paris to leave LA. It probably never crossed anyone's mind that they were sharing a living space because of the way they bickered.

Josh Griffith teases Nikki may uncover Summer's secret on 'The Young and the Restless'
A number of those who watch THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS are calling for the head of the current co executive producer/head writer to be served on a platter.

This is especially true as it relates to the departures of Michael Mealor and Hunter King who portray Kyle Abbott and Summer Newman.

In this day and era of being ethnically sensitive and the cancel culture, many icons from the past have been discarded. One of them Speedy Gonzales is seen in his native Mexico as a hero rather than being offensive.

Speedy came from the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. His major traits are the ability to run extremely fast, speaking English with an exaggerated Mexican accent, and also speaking Spanish.Speedy's

Dead eyes see nothing
Growing up in the county I saw dead animals all the time. Dogs, cats, skunks, deer, mice, etc. and they all looked the same. Their eyes were open but without life in them. I also became used to dead bodies because I lived near the community church. I cared for my mother at home as she was dying and did not notice anything specific but with my husband, it was very different. When I observed that he was no longer breathing there was still a little bit of movement in his fingers.
