MEPS - April 28th - Damian Sees $$$, Lili Wants to Die, and Nanda Grows Up (Sort of)
First, I just want to thank all of your for you well wishes last week. I got quite the scare, and we’re still not sure what’s going on with me, but my doctor will get to the bottom of it. No, it’s not Swine Flu either! LOL I had some weird stuff show up on my MRI.
Also, I’m going to be in Mexico for two weeks beginning Tuesday, May 12th through Sunday, May 24th,, so long as my husband’s appointment at the US Consulate on the 15th doesn’t get cancelled because of the Swine Flu – they’ve cancelled all appointments for the week of the 4th. Can someone do my recaps for me on the 12th and the 19th? Thanks for the help.
Capitulo 51
From last night: Gonzo is reminding AB that it’s because of Barbie that Grupo Lactos Intolerance is the most important Mexican company in the world, and that Barbie has Gonzo’s full support. Nanda wants to move out of the Elizalde hacienda after her honeymoon with Damian.
At the Nut House Fr/Ed has come to see Lili. Lili tells him to leave, but Fr/Ed tries to comfort her, he asks what’s happened.
Marg and Jacinto’s Mellow Yellow House Silvestre is coming around. Jacinto explains what happened to him. It’s all coming back to Gepetto now, and he tells them about Jairo looking for Martina. Gepetto asks who Jacinto’s “friend” is that brought him to the house. Jacinto says when the friend shows up, he’ll tell him his name himself.
Damian enters Barbs office. Barb shows him some papers she’s received and wants him to sign saying that in 24 hours all that money will be his – he’ll be a millionaire.
Fr/Ed’s interrogating Dr. Demento about what exactly happened with Lili the night before, and if it was normal that Lili would attack Barb. Dr. D says no, it’s not normal, and Fr/Ed wants to know what could’ve provoked the attack. Dr. D says the only thing that could’ve brought Lili’s reaction on is fear. Fr/Ed knows its fear of Barb.
Dam’s looking over the papers – he’s getting $3 million dollars. Barb says she’s kept her promise - $1 million per year.
Santi , Rory and Dominga are in front of the altar. Dominga kinda looks like Mimi Bobeck from the Drew Carey show. Dominga wants to get the ceremony over with so she can get paid by Santiago. Rory stops the ceremony to talk to Santiago. Ruh Roh.
Barbie tells Dam once he receives the confirmation that the money is in his bank account she wants him to disappear forever. He’s not so sure now. He’s worried about what will happen to Fernanda. Barb asks after all this, he’s now in love with Fernanda? Dam looks uncomfortable.
Rory’s trying to talk Santiago out of the wedding, saying they don’t even know each other. She wants the falling in love, the dream of every girl. Not to be forced into a marriage. He tries to explain that if she wants to find out who her parents are they have to go through with it. She’s torn.
Fr/Ed pressures Dr. D into telling him if Barb is the reason for Lili’s fear. Dr. D stays quiet and Fr/Ed knows that says it all.
Martina is trying to comfort Lili. She’s trying to get her to open up about what happened. Lili’s remembering Barb’s cruel words. Lili begs Martina for help to die.
Dr. D tries to play dumb about Barbie. Martina rushes into Dr. D’s office and says Fr/Ed needs to go talk to her now. The Doc takes a much needed swig off his flask.
Rory tries, but can’t go through with the wedding and walks out of the church.
Damian signs the document for the money. He never thought he’d ever get the money. Barb says she’s thinking about leaving also, but wants him to leave first so nobody suspects anything. They toast to their newfound wealth. Dam says he feels like traveling to Polynesia. She tells him to make the most of his last night with Fernanda. They kiss.
Nanda is telling Gonzo she wants out of the house. Gonzo doesn’t understand why. She explains that it’s healthier for her marriage. Gonzo feels bad. Nanda says she doesn’t want to live with her brothers anymore either – it’s like their eternal adolescents. Gonzo says it hurts him, but he understands.
Lili is rocking back and forth saying she killed her mother and now she’s going to kill her father. Fr/Ed says no, no, and she finally recognizes him as the Rey Blanco. Fr/Ed tells Lili that inside the Rey Blanco he found a piece of paper with a phrase on it and a name, the name was ____________ (I didn’t catch the name), does she know what that means? She goes back to saying she killed her mother and will kill her father.
Back at the church, Rory is telling Santiago that he knows what they’re doing is not correct. She’s not sure she even wants to know the truth about her parents now and walks out. Dominga is pissed off that she’s not getting her payday.
Back at Elizalde Manor, Nanda is telling her Dad it would be a good chance for him to have some time alone with Barb also. She should only know! Father-daughter hug. Gonzo tells Nanda that before she goes, he wants her to help Barb with transferring Lili to the clinic in Berlin.
Martina is comforting Lili. Fr/Ed wants a moment alone with Martina. Martina tells Fr/Ed that she only left Martina for a few minutes when Barb sent her to look for Damian. Martina gives Fr/Ed the exact sequence of events. Fr/Ed figures whatever happened to Lili, happened in those minutes while Martina left Lili alone with La Hyena. Martina feels guilty.
Some creepy looking guy comes looking for Padre Bosco. I think it’s the Indiana Jones guy from the Cantina that came looking for Franco Santoro, but this time he’s in a suit with aviator glasses and looks more like a Secret Service Agent. The woman cleaning tells him Padre Bosco will be back tomorrow. Creepy guy’s phone rings – its Cigarman and he tells Manzanores to wait.
Fr/Ed tells Martina not to leave Lili alone for a minute. She agrees, but then wants to know if Fr/Ed has had time to go see her father, Silvestre. He lies and says her father is fine.
Speaking of Gepetto, he’s asleep and Marg and Jacinto are thinking about how bad Martina is going to feel when she finds out what happened.
Martina is worried her father will never forgive her.
At the GL offices, AB wants to speak with Damian. AB explains the company needs cash. Dam says he’s waiting for instructions. AB says he thought Barb was supposed to be transferring money from their holdings in Chicago, and Dam says she’s spoken with the broker. He says the money will be in by mid-day tomorrow. AB tries to dismiss Dam, but Damn gets one last dig in by congratulating AB on the baby, and says he’s sure it will look exactly like him. LOL
The mother-to-be, Priscila, is thinking about maybe calling Vlad. Nanda shows up in Prisci’s bedroom with a giant teddy bear for her future nephew. Prisci confesses to Nanda that her own mother abandoned her and her brother when they were little for another man. Prisci vows to be a good mother.
Dam is on the phone with Vlad, and now he’s agreeing with everything Vlad says. Dam says he’s going to give Vlad the formula to put the entire Elizalde family at his feet.
Santiago is still trying to convince Rory outside the church. Now he’s trying reverse psychology. He says she’s right, marrying should be for love. But he’s also just realized that he’s in love with her and wants to marry her. She sheds a tear, but says nothing.
Fr/Ed’s come by to see Silvestre. Jacinto explains that it was Jairo that hurt Silvestre. Silvestre comes walking out of the bedroom to see the man that saved him! He thanks Fr/Ed profusely. He asks what his name is, because they have the same blood running through their veins.
Martina is telling Lili about her father and her childhood and about the bracelet her father made for her. She gives Lili the bracelet for good luck. Martina says she knows something happened when she left her alone with Barb, she wants Lili to tell her what happened. Lili says if she’s alive then her father will die.
Silvestre is thinking Fr/Ed looks familiar. But Fr/Ed insists there’s no way and that his name is Franco Santoro. Just then somebody knocks on the door – it’s Jairo!!!!
Previews: Nanda promises Dam that tomorrow will be the beginning of their honeymoon and nothing will stop them.
Also, I’m going to be in Mexico for two weeks beginning Tuesday, May 12th through Sunday, May 24th,, so long as my husband’s appointment at the US Consulate on the 15th doesn’t get cancelled because of the Swine Flu – they’ve cancelled all appointments for the week of the 4th.

Thank you, Melissa! The name in the white king was Isaac Newton. And as for Damian signing something, who else thinks Barbara will use that to frame Damian? That's why she wants him to leave first. While they are looking for him, it gives her a chance to be long gone and cover her tracks, before Damian, when caught, rats her out.
Melissa, I'm glad you are taking care of yourself, I hope everything is alright. Thank you for keeping us up with another fabulous recap!
Mimi from Drew Carye, too funny!
I agree PaulaH, Babs seems to be seeting Damian up. But he can't be going yet! And we finally get the meeting between Babs and Fr/Ed. That will be interesting.
So maybe Damian is going to disappear for a little while? They can't consummate the wedding, but Damian's story can't be over already because he also has ties to Vlad. This one moves so fast it is hard to figure out where it is going. Which is really cool.
And the horses were back at commercial breaks tonight and I think that horse in my pic was in two of the sports!

Thanks, Melissa. I am senbding you good vibrations~~~~~ I was flipping back and forth between this show and Dancing with the Stars. Paula and Molly, I agree that it appears sneaky, manipulative BarBEE is going to make Dam the fall guy. I like the way Marge calls Jacinto ''Flaco.'' Cute. Don't know what will happen next. Martina is a sweetiepie...so good to Lili. Dominga was great at the wedding. I liked the hairdo and the rocking lipstick. I think the actress is loving this slovenly drunkard character and going all out . I've never seen the actor playing the gumshoe look so menacing before. In Alborada and Amor Real , he played a goodhearted guy.

Maybe Babs is Priscilla's mother too, ha.
The less time with Santiago, Dominga and Aurora, the better.

Melissa, thank you so much. I was just talking to my sister yesterday about some irregularity in the MRI of her head. I pray that hers, and yours, are one of those things that mean nothing and which, if they MRIed all of us, they would find one weird thing or another!
This is indeed a breathless pace! My daughter was in from Harvard (so I would remember what she looks like) so I just glanced at the blog. Looks like some lively discussion: I'll have to check it out on some down time (ha ha). Anywho, I agree, I can't imagine Evilbitch doing anything other than setting Damn up.
And maybe you guys covered this, but when Aurora said she couldn't continue with this farce, did she mean more than marrying a guy she just met? Somehow I think she knew "Rebecca Sanchez" was her mom and senses Barbie is Rebecca?
And good for Nanda. Jeez. I cannot imagine continuing to live in my childhood home after marraige with my adult sibs - yuu-uuck! That dopey smile was so Gonzo-ey when Nanda suggested he and Barbie need some quality time alone. Big dumb Bozo!
Lovin' the no-filler-let's-get-it-on pace.

Talk about missed opportunities. Sylvestre made the locket for Ed to give Nanda , and now we see the bracelet he made for his daughter. He should have been a jeweler instead of a blacksmith. p.s. Smiths [blacksmiths, tinsmiths, etc] were so important to a community that every language has a very common last name that goes back to this profession : English-Smith, Spanish-Hererra, Italian-Ferrara, German-Schmidt, Arabic-Haddad] And I hope that Fr.ed scares Jairo off.

Thanks for the recap Melissa. The name was Isaac Newton. I had forgotten about the riddle! Lili knows what it means though I think.
When I saw Dominga in that outfit and the crooked lipstick all I could think of was Quintina. I thought we had escaped that mess when we left Mexidoom.
The faces Dr. O made were great. That one side of his mouth twitching. Did anyone notice that each time Fr/Ed asked him a question he back slowly into the wall! Twitch, roll, twitch, roll.
Molly, that was the horse I was talking about the other day. Such a beauty. I do think it is the same horse in your picture.

Thanks, Melissa, for a great recap. I too hope that your health scare turns out to be nothing serious.
Thanks, too, for telling us that it was Jairo at the door at the very end. I didn't catch the name, and I was hoping the recap would tell me.
And thanks, Susanlynn, for the interesting bit about last names involving a smith. I had no idea that all those names came from the same profession.
Geez, these recaps are not just fun, they're educational! :-)

Melissa - thank you for your recap. I hope your health scare is just that - a scare and nothing will come of it. Do you have some surgical masks to give your DH? Mine flew to NJ/NYC area yesterday. I may wear a mask around him when he returns, until I know he's not carrying anything. Aaaaack. My next-door-neighbor has the flu, all symptoms match that of Swine flu.
My DVR cut off the last minutes (forgot to extend the recording time) so I didn't see Jairo. Ack! Another reason I appreciate your recap. I hope someone puts that guy in his place.
Paula H - ITA with you, I do not trust Babs nor anything about that document she had Dam sign.
I'm glad Rory didn't marry Santi last night. His hair was totally disgusting. A better 'do might have swayed her. Does that guy not know about combs or brushes? Hel-lo?!? I guess there will be a double wedding at the Por Fin.
Khalilah - it was your first guess---Rory doesn't want to marry until she is head-over-heels in love with a guy. She wants to do it 'right', much to her credit. Enjoy your daughter's visit! I remember how I cherished our son's visits home from college.

Thanks for the recap Melissa. I hope all turns out well for you. Forgot about Mimi from Drew, I did think of Quintina, just not as neat in appearance as Quintina was. I thought if Dominga hadn't been there yelling/complaining at Rory, that wedding might have been pulled off.
24 hours for Damian to leave? That'll take about 2 weeks to get done. He's starting to burn the bridges right away before even leaving. Now that he is on the way out, going to tell Vlad how to give the Elizaldes a hard time... not that that is a bad thing. ;) ... Good dig at Anibal, yep, gonna look just like him! Oh... But... Yep, Damian's being set up, big time for sure, has to be!
Bad, bad, Fr/Ed. He should have told Martina about her dad. Another lie. But... When he went to Jacinto's, Silvestre got up and walked around... So... Not quite a lie, he is doing ok! :)
Not sure when Lili will get her mind back together again. Still quite scramble, thanks to the Barbinator. At least it didn't take long for Fr/Ed to figure out who caused Lili to go bonkers.
Ol' Secret Agent Man, dresses according to who he is going to see. Hitting the bar, dress like a cowboy. Seeing the Padre, nice suit and dressed up.
Jairo at the door, Fr/Ed has to give him a good talking to!

Melissa, yet another great recap. `I hope things go well for you. Good to see Sil up and around. I guess that deep down Dr.O is a good physicin. The next time he sutures(not exactly the treatment of choice for a stab wound to the abdomen, but can't argue with good results)he might consider using a needle holder.
My heart soared with joy when Jacy saw Jairo at the door. Has all the makings of some fun for us tonight.

Thank you for the recap, Melissa, so quick and succinct. I, too, wish you well, and that the scare is nothing more than that, a harmless abberation on your MRI.
I watched the whole episode on youtube before I watched the telecast, so that I could fine tune my comprehension with the CC's. It helped, but it seems a bit too much time devoted to this whole thing...
It looks like Damian has signed on to the dark side. No doubt, Babs is setting him up. Another possiblity is that he has his own plan to get Babs. Not that I could conceiev of a way to do this, but it IS telenovelaland, afterall.
Babs wants to send Lili to Berlin immediately, and disappear Damian at the same time. Hmmm, seems like a lot of turmoil; in a normal family, I doubt that the daughter would be going anywhere when one of the spouses disappears, just too much at once. Of course, Lili isn't going anywhere, except maybe Sanitorio Las Animas.
i sure wish thta the Santi/Rory thing would go somewhere, it's so silly. They can still sleuth regardless their marital status. Maybe the writers are just giving us a morality lesson on the "pure" reason for marriage. I'm wondering how they manage to track down Rebeca Sanchez, and how Barbie reacts to it. I'm with Khalilah- I love the no-filler pace!

Carlos reminded me- the upcoming scene with Jairo in the midst of Jacinto AND Franco will be fun. We'll soon se how tough this tough guy is. He probably will be packin heat, tho. I hope no one else gets shot. (that goes for padre Bosco, too).
Connie I hope we get to see him ride that beautiful horse. I found to breeders of Fresians with in 40 miles of my house. Might have to see if they allow any riding.
I'm bored with Santi and Aurora. Obviously she will provide Babs with backstory but she is so boring. I'd rather see more of the plucky Gardina!

Hi Melissa. Thank you for your recap and I join in sending you good vibrations.
One small thing: Damian told Vlad he had the perfect way for Vlad to have Priscila at his feet, not the whole family. I laughed out loud at the dig Dam gave Anibal. That's what he gets for treating Dam with no respect. I feel sorry for Pris, though. She's a pretty nice person with a sad back story.
Oh no's. If Damian does skip town that will be a final blow for Fernanda. She's just been through too much. I would love to have her for a friend. She's a sweetheart.

Dorado Dave, we've already seen how tough Jairo is. When Gepetto had knives and Jairo had no backup, he skedaddled right quick. When Jacinto showed up with his whip and evened things, Jairo and Lucio took off.
Speaking of Padre Bosco, was Secret Agent Man there to do him in or just ask questions? Seems like Artemio wants the Padre dead, but tasked that to Barbi. Secret Agent Man is working directly under Artemio and not Barbi, but is he supposed to do in the Padre?

I hope somebody gives Jairo a beat-down that he'll never forget. Too bad they couldn't include Lucio too. I think Babs is going to kill Damian and take all the money for herself.
Hi Melissa...thanks for your usual fine recap and the hopeful news that maybe the MRI is just something goofy. You are probably the age of one of my children so I'm sending you lots of motherly protective wishes (and maybe hoping that you'll delay your visit to Mexico.) Well, you know how mothers meddle.
Can't wait to watch this. The recap and the comments always whet my appetite for this rollicking drama.

Melissa, thank you for the fine recap. You have so much on your plate right now, thank you for your time and dedication to do this. Sending you good wishes...
When and if Dam imparts some nuggets of wisdom to Vlad regarding Pris, will it do any good? Vlad seems to have a difficult time processing and understanding things, that is on the rare occasions he manages to stop crying.
I appreciate eveyone's comments on Dam. I go back and forth as to exactly how evil he is and where he's going. His expressions are inscrutable - I credit that to Sergio Sendel's excellent acting.
Now Lili wants to die? Please, this is simply too awful. Not even Fr/Ed is getting through to her.
I am looking forward to Fr/Ed doing a number on Jairo tonight. So much for pacifism.

Anon 10:35, I think if Dam takes off and leaves Nanda in distress, there is surely someone waiting to offer her comfort and a nice big shoulder to cry on!
She is very sweet, and yet has a lot of spunk to. Can't help but want good things for her.

Well, I followed you bloggers' advice and went cold turkey off the captions...but not by choice. For some reason, I haven't gotten a Univision signal for for two nights! I have to concentrate a lot harder to get anything out of the dialog. Thank heavens for recaps!
More good vibes your way, Melissa!

I'm sure Damian is going to get screwed by Babs & this time not in the carnal sense.
I don't think Damian will skip out but his deceit will probably be found out. Which of course gives our hero the perfect opportunity to move in, he knows about Dam & Babs affair, I think.
Babs transferred a lot of money to her acct in the islands. Unless she used Damian's computer that can be traced, in the real world anyway.
It looks like Artemio has some doubts about Babs control of the situation, so he has brought in mafia man.
I also thought Dominga stopped by Quintana's to get her makeup done.
Tks Melissa for the great recap & wishing you the best of health.

I wonder if anyone's keeping track of the Grupo Lactos money. They had that whole thing where they dumped all that expired milk, but who knows what happened with that? Now they've had the milk spoilage at the plant. Still, Babs apparently has moved $156 million or so to her offshore account, right? And now, Damian gets $1 million per year. I mean, do they have an accounting firm? (oh yeah, Damian is the Chief Finanical Officer). Sort of like FELS, where Gabriela sort of lost everything 4 or 5 times, only to come up with some new asset or account.
Thinking ahead, if Damian leaves and Fernanda goes to Franco for support, would Erika go to the dark side?

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something. What were those documents Bar-b had Damian signing? And why oh why does he give his signature on documents proving anything like embezzlement IF he is seriously planning to stay in the marriage?
Carlos, you were hilarious regarding the doctor's little black bag.

Melissa, thanks for the recap and more good wishes that your med. situation will go well.
Variopinta, you have a point about Dominga getting makeup help from Quintina. Santiago could have used help with his hair, for sure. What I loved about Dominga's wedding look--she had obviously gone to some effort with her hair, makeup, and clothing, yet the results were just as bad as her slatternly look. Now that's what I call quality comic relief.
I'm enjoying Sergio Sendel's toned-down and subtle performance as Damian. Perhaps he won't throw a cell phone, but will squeeze one to death at some point.

Maybe Damian will redeem himself and squeeze Bar-b to death.
Damian presents an outsider's view of the family menage a mess. Including un-wrapped Vlad. But other than ridicule or sympathetic listening his emotions are not deeply lasting. I will not be surprised if he takes the money and leaves Fern.

Great recap, Melissa. And I also hope your MRI issue was an anomaly and that all will be well with you.
Sendel is doing an excellent job of being ambiguous. I can't tell from one episode to the next what he's really like. One thing is for sure, he ALWAYS responds physically to Babs. But this may just be the standard TN (Latin American male cliché) representation of nearly every male unable to resist a willing woman. It's way too soon to write Sendel out of the novela. And, he seems to respond favorably to her supposed plans to spend the rest of their lives together. But he also seems to care about Nanda. And, yes, it's absurd that a company that size could have that much cash (Barbie's over 100 million) go missing and no one notice.
Another odd thing was Pris telling Nanda about her mother's desertion for another man. She's her sister-in-law fer cryin' out loud. Wouldn't the Elizalde's know that already?
Since Pris and Anibal have been married 7 years, Pris has to be WAY too old to be Babs' daughter.

Novelera, I remember that when Arora asked about Fern's madrastra they had no idea about Barbara's family or her existance before being hired by Popa.
Something occurred to me, remember when Babs told Gonzo that she often used those pills, I bet she meant in his bedtime leche.
Thank you Melissa for taking the time to write such a beautiful recap. I especially love reading the comments because the discussions almost always clears up some point or argument that wasn't quite clear in my mind. With that thought in mind, here's one that I missed: would someone please comment on how Rory found out that Babs is her mother? Somehow I missed that completely. Is it speculation or fact? Does Babs know? If this is fact, why did one of the comments say that Rory said she's not sure if she wants to find her parents? That said, Those two characters I could take or leave. He's too goofy and I'm tired of her puppy dog pitiful expression of innocence. Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me.

Alice, actually Aurora doesn't know(at least for certain) that Babs is her mom. We know because we know that Barbara Greco is really Rebecca Sanchez, Rory only knows that her mom's name is Becky Sanchez. Of course there's that llamada de la sangre thing going on every time Babs and Rory are face to face.

Wasn't Aurora's mother's name in the school records?

Re: Babs-Rory relationship. Thanks everyone for responding and clearing that up. I see whatcha mean. She still has to put 2+2 together somehow. That's gonna be interesting. She might be just as well off staying with Dominga. heh, heh.

Melissa, Thanks for the recap. You are wonderful to give us your best when you perhaps aren't feeling your best. We appreciate your efforts even more. Wow, C2 is such a giving/caring bunch.
Alice/Anon, it is interesting to consider that no one in the Elizalde family has ever questioned that Barbara (Rebecca) showed up with no past at all and apparently not one of them has ever asked her. Granted these are not the most thoughtful or all caring bunch we have ever met in Mexicdoon. Only Santi questioned this strange state of ignorance but only when Aurora showed up and was so curious about Barbara, this woman whom she had such a strange but powerful reaction to. This is all going to be such fun when Barbara figures out who Aurora really is....

Indeed it is curious, Cheryl. These vague and absent pasts allow the writers to create twists and turns as needed to reel all of us in. Re Babs: Here comes this woman from nowhere and just because she passed an obviously cursory employment application process, she is believed over the Elizaldes own flesh and blood. . .The "charge" against Lili has gone from precipitating to murdering her own mother. Santi and Nanda are apparently the only thoughtful and caring ones in the bunch! Santi gots bad hair and a limited emotional range but he's a good guy. I could line Big Dumbo Gonzo, Cadmilho and Anyballs up and slap the crap outa all three of them. Of course, they deserve much more.

Hi all:
I have just found that Time Warner in Kansas City has added Telemundo to it's line-up at Ch 158. There may be other additions to their Latina lineup, I don't know.
After watching Telemundo for 10 years in CA (on Time-Warner there), I'm glad that finally Kansas City has added it.
For people in other areas on Time Warner, you might want to check to see if TW has added Telumundo in your area recently.

Khalilah that was LOL funny!

Let's hope that Babs never finds out that Aurora is her daughter. Babs fits mother nature's "eats their own young" profile...
Melissa, if no one's volunteered yet, I can try to cover both of those nights. They won't be super-thorough, because I don't have any way to tape the show any more, but I think I'm getting enough now (both in comprehension and in TV reception) that I should be able produce a decent recap.
I had something strange in an MRI a few years ago, and it turned out to be harmless. Hopefully your doctor is just being super-cautious like mine was, and your weird stuff turns out to be something innocuous.
I wonder if the press conference is going to screw up our episode tonight??

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. i've been trying to get in to see a neurologist before I leave for Mexico, but so far no luck. My mother has MS, so I think that's why they're worried about what they saw on the MRI.
JudyB - You're funny - and such a mom! Thanks, you put a big smile on my face! Unfortunately, I have to go to Mexico, my DH and I have been waiting for this appointment with the consulate in Juarez for a long time.
But who knows, they may cancel it anyway with all the swine flu stuff. The consulate is closed until May 8th - our appointment is the 15th.
Julie - That would be great if you could cover for me! Thanks so much! Nobody else has volunteered. Maybe someone will offer to take one night?

I noticed that last night Silver Fox! We also now get Azteca, and a couple of movie channels, and a spanish history channel. I think there is another one but I can't remember.
