The day I was the laughing stock in gym class
This particular challenge is bringing back cringe-worthy memories that I had not thought about in decades. Today I am sharing 3 incidents related to PE class where I ended up the goat. The first one was during 4th grade when the class went outside to play kickball. I had never played this game before and if the rules were given to the class I guess I was not paying attention. We were on a field and somehow it was my turn to kick the ball. I kicked at the ball and my foot missed. I felt like Charlie Brown when Lucy pulled the football out from under him.

When life and death imitate art
As I have grown older I realize that a lot of what we consider to be "art" has been imitating real life, only I did not know it. There is much that I thought was made up for television shows and movies, that I now know was based on real life events. I am about to share something that recently took place which I must say is a situation where my life imitated art. I have nothing else to compare it to except what I saw while watching a film. My husband suffered a massive stroke last October and each time he showed signs of recovery it seemed something would set him back. Doctors in 2 hospitals gave up on him many times but he always pulled through.

I dream of being a millionaire
I've been writing since age 12 when a classmate and I wrote stories about horses during our 7th grade history class. My friends complimented my poetry and told me I was talented as a teen. One poem was supposed to be published in the school magazine during my 11th grade year, only that publication never got off the ground. I found out at age 18 that my grandmother had been reading my diary so I threw away 3 years worth of my life and did not write for quite a while. In 1999 my pastor was preaching about everyone having a talent and how it should be used so I decided to revisit writing.

‘General Hospital’ fans are waiting for BLQ and Maxie to collide
Many of those who watch General Hospital are frustrated with the pregnancy storylines of Maxie Jones and Brooke Lynn Quartermaine. These viewers have been expressing in social media forms how the plot is now very obvious. BLQ is going to present Maxie’s baby to Valentin as his own because she is faking and does not have a bun in the oven. The question on everyone’s mind is how will all of this unfold? BLQ would have to go into fake labor in secret away from Valentin’s prying eyes. It would need to coincide with Maxie giving birth to her daughter.

Aaron D Spears is being jerked around again by 'The Bold and the Beautiful'
Once again, The Bold and the Beautiful is calling upon Aaron D Spears to reprise his role as Justin Barber on the CBS daytime drama. The talented actor has been placed on contract only to later be removed more times than I can count over the past few years. It was announced in January of 2020 that Dollar Bill Spencer's friend and sidekick would be getting more screen time but he was rarely seen and in October it was announced that he was no longer on contract status. Each time he returns to the LA scene, viewers only get a glimpse of him in the offices of Spencer Publications for a few episodes, and then he is gone.

Kiara Barnes ends her run 'The Bold and the Beautiful'
A majority of those who watch The Bold and the Beautiful are not fans of Zoe Buckingham. It began when she was revealed to be the daughter of Dr. Reese who was behind the baby switch. Zoe kept her father's secret but fans began to have a little sympathy for her when Thomas left her at the altar. Viewers began turning against her, however, when she began mistreating Paris, flirting with Zende, and did not remain true to Carter. She then allowed Quin to manipulate her into playing a trick on her sister to ruin her night with Zende.
