Porque el Amor Manda #35: Spying Eyes Get a Surprise, the Puppy Fetches Popcorn, and Everybody Goes to Chatita's


Jesús and Alma are in the Avon conference room working on some project or another -- I don't really know what it is and I don't think they care -- while Rogue watches them on the office security cameras. Patimelt slips into the office buns-first (how does she DO that?) and joins the audience. Alma and Pati are both wearing these really cute slit-sleeved blouses that were all the rage in los escaparates de Miami last month, and I want one really bad but of course mine would have to be fleece-lined. Anyway, Alma drops her pen and both she and Jesús slide under the table to look for it...for a long time. Rogue freaks completamente OUT. Pati helpfully points out that they've had plenty of time for a quickie and even furnishes voices for the silent movie. That girl is a hoot and a half.


Meanwhile, Discua's down at the chapel giving a dreamy sermonette to her brothers and sisters in the light. They’re all dressed in identical robes, but you can tell she’s in charge because she’s wearing the sacred shocking pink lipstick. Afterward the whole crowd breaks into a little song-and-dance number that has Fernando completely flummoxed. Dude can’t keep the beat to save his life, which doesn’t bode well for his other physical talents. But somehow he seems to have joined the congregation simply by showing up, and Discua insists the he produce some inspirational words. He babbles some nonsense that’s apparently close enough, and Discua tells him they might actually have un futuro, him being so full of light and radiance and stuff. Well, he’s full of something. Group hug for Fer!

Ricardo ferries the girls back to Xochi's place in his incredible backfiring car and manages to steal another kiss from Mari on his way out. Just as we think the princesa has a place to lay her head, in comes Xochi's Mom, who has just lost at bingo and is ready to eat a baby. NO, she is NOT having a houseguest, ESPECIALLY one who talks like she has a bottle-stopper in her mouth, and WHERE ARE HER FREAKIN PALOMITAS? Xoch flees in panic and comes back with a giant bowl of popcorn from the bin of harpy-chow she keeps in the kitchen. It’s amazing that poor kid doesn’t have more tics than Discua.

Pati sees our favorite couple repair to Alma's office with a pizza and calls Rogue over, conveniently failing to mention the pizza. Gosh, they've been in there a long time. Too bad there's no security camera in the office, huh? Finally he can't take it anymore and charges over to the office door, where of course he hears all kinds of compromising noises: Delicious! I told you you'd love it! Give me more! MORE! Rogue bursts in and makes a fool of himself, then insists that Alma leave immediately. Pati watches with delight on the parking-cam as Alma bids Rogue a chaste goodnight, then with increasing shock and fury as Rogue hops in his car and leaves, completely forgetting that she’s there. Honey? He’s just not that into you – and anyway, he wears brown shoes with a black suit. You can do better. 

Xochi summons Taxi-Taxi-Bang-Bang and tells Ricardo they're taking Mari to stay with Jesús, which is wildly inappropriate even for a TN. But let’s just roll with it, since we know Jesús isn't home anyway. Chatita hears them all banging on the door and interrupts her therapy session with Elías to invite them in for sandwiches. 

Zing! Cara impactada de Maricela at the sight of delicious Elías. Cara muy impactada de Ricardo at the sight of cara impactada de Maricela. (Is there a bingo square for Love Triangle? Oh wait, that would be like having one for People Breathing Air.) Elías doesn’t seem to be feeling it, but when Mari inquires about his marital status he tells her he’s separated. Apparently all you need for a legal separation in Nuevo León is a couple roast goats. Who knew?

Jesús arrives home and Xochi continues to fling herself at him like an animal shelter puppy. Doesn’t he know the first thing you need to teach them is not to jump up? Next she’ll be following him to the bathroom and whining outside the door. Clearly she wants to spend the night, but Elías needs a man-date with Chuch, so they arrange to talk on the way back from driving Xochi home. Down, girl. Sit. Stay.

In other news:

- Elías seems to kind of like the hourglass-shaped doc. 

- Val and her Mega-Teddy catch Vero talking in her sleep about Jesús.

- The tough-faced lady from La Ley interrogates Ury at the prison, but all she gets is threats.

Avances: Jesús is arrested! Or maybe he just meets a couple burly guys with handcuffs!

Blue:

What a wonderful, crisp recap. My favorite lines were:

Sacred Pink lipstick

Ferny is full of something.

This epi was a hoot from start to finish. Patymelt is so bad, but so funny. I liked when she was trying to sneak out of Avon as Chucho was leaving and she was hiding behind everything she could, while he looked around, too funny!

No wonder poor Xochi is the way she is. Her Mama is a real beyotch but liked the way she imitated Mari.

Has Ferny seen the light? You are right that guy cannot keep the beat. I liked the group hug they gave me at the end, he just didn't know what to do, lol.

It's funny how everyone ends up at Chatita's. Did Chatita say she knew Mari from somewhere? This should be interesting with Chatita and Mari. Mari sure was struck by Elias. Poor Ricardo, but I do like that second kiss he stole from Mari.

Another nice moment with Vero and Valentina. I had to laugh when Vero was talking about Chucho in her sleep. That dream she had was cute too. I wonder if that was a hippie flashback to their past? I liked that finally Vero is cuddling up to Valentina. Vero didn't even object to that huge bear being in the bedroom.

Chucho and Alma were too cute working late at the office and loved how Rog was sweating the whole time they were together. Rog was too funny listening outside the door. The facial expressions, lol.

I like this police investigator. She didn't back down from Yuri one bit. She didn't even flinch. And now Chucho knows that Yuri is in Monterrey!
 

Thanks for the great recap!
And thanks God next Monday will be a new day!

Where does Pati put her phone when she is driving? I saw her sticking her finger somewhere down there to end a conversation!
Why does Pati likes studs so much (am talking about the dress)?

Patricia Zorrilla will be my Delia Ibarra (PALABRA DE MUJER). I think she is going to steal the TN from everybody else with that wacky character. She shines more every day.
When I saw Valentina watching EL CHAVO ANIMADO understood why the ''chavismos'' like the finger movement (eso, eso, eso) and so on... someone here likes, or tries to pay tribute to Don Roberto Gómez Bolaños.

If Ricardo is not whitening, he's yellowing! I would think twice before putting my mouth close to his!
Marisela is going to have to smart up because Elías is very smart and asks questions nobody does... she could get tangled in her lies...
I mean, Elías has travelled around the globe and back and she can trick anybody who hasn't with her ''Canada/Paris whatever'' stories, but not him...

I would love to go to Discua's place of worship (couldn't say Church, even when they have a cross the size of a wall) but I am sure I will be denied, did you see only pretty people there? I am sure during ''some ceremonies'' the girls use their hoodies...

I didn't like a bit that scene where Alma and Jesús are eating pizza (WITH RED WINE!!!) and Rogelio is hearing behind the door a lot better than if he was inside with them, something that he is misinterpreting... so unnecessary!


Vocabulary:
On'toy (contraction from donde estoy) -where am I
Quedarse para vestir santos (stay single, like an old maid)
Inocente palomita (innocent dove)- We celebrate the equivalent to april fool's day in December 28th. and people do pranks and jokes, if you fall for them, you are ''inocente palomita que te dejaste engañar'' or an innocent dove that just got punk'd so to speak.
Limosnera con garrote- Beggers can't be choosers, is similar to Bald and with lice (pelona y con piojos).

I am sure this handcuff thing is ''another dream'' or something that in the end is not what we think!

wink-o-meter low (less than 5)
 

Blue Lass, what a scream! I almost fell over when I read "Dude can’t keep the beat to save his life, which doesn’t bode well for his other physical talents." Amen sister!!

I also laughed heartily at Taxi-Taxi-Bang-Bang. And ITA with Blue Lass and Pablo that Pati is a hoot and a half and is stealing the show.

A belated feliz cumpleaños to Anita! Glad you enjoyed your day, amiga.

Madeleine, Chatita knows Marisela's dad so it stands to reason she knows Marisela too. Anyway, it looks like EVERYBODY may be ending up at Chatita's which would be hilarious.

I really like the actress who plays Xochi's mom, but man oh man she sure can play the harpy, no?
 

Blue.....your "Patimelt sliding buns first into the office...how does she do that?" comment had me laughing over my Saturday morning coffee! First good laugh of the day!

Totally agree with Madeleine that poor annoying Xotchi is the way she is because of her Mom....Xotchi needs to get some distance but not at poor Jesus's expense.

Wine in wine glasses with pizza at the office....I'm there!

The little actress did a nice job of imitating her mom dreaming about Jesus in her sleep.

Agree with Mad...the police investigator chick is well cast. She 's a smart ball buster and needs to be in her line of work. Glad she appears to be on Jesus's side.

I hope Pablo is right and the handcuffing of Jesus is a dream. Don't want to see him in the same jail as Yuri given that Yuri is in town now.

It will be interesting to see how long it will take for Discua to figure out Fernando's charade....he is on his good behavior for one episode but I don't think he can go the distance. Gertie

 

Blue Lass, a very nice recap with some great phrases. I especially liked the one about legal separations and roasted goats.

Madelaine, I agree that now we know know partially why Xochi is like she is with a mother like that. Poor Valentina hearing her mom murmuring "Jesús, mi amor." The kid doesn't neeed anything else to wonder about. Fernando got plenty of affection at the "church"; just not the kind he wanted.

One of your best, Blue, and you've turned out some classics. Just some of my favorite lines:

{project} "I don't really know what it is and I don't think they care" (my kind of recap.. business talk of any sort puts me into brain freeze)

"sacred shocking pink lipstick" (yes, her lips were riveting, to
say the least)

"ready to eat a baby" (good grief, what a description...but right on)

"bin of harpy chow" (inspired, what can I say?)

Taxi Taxi Bang Bang (again, inspired)

and of course all the other gems people mentioned.

And Pablo, thanks as always, not just for vocabulary but for that rich cultural info that we wouldn't have otherwise. I've never traveled to Mexico or a Latin American country and never will at this point in my life, but you're enriching my understanding with every recap. Thanks!
 

Thanks Blue Lass! Love your
" Is there a bingo square for Love Triangle? Oh wait, that would be like having one for People Breathing Air". But there must be one for "over bearing, mean-spirited mother who claims to be over religious." We seem to always get those. Xochi is annoying, but she doesn't deserve that for a mother. (Though she made a brilliant point about Mari's voice).Except for Chatita, mothers are doing so well in this TN.

I have to say, last night was the first time I laughed out loud during this TN. Fern's attempt to dance at the Church was so horribly wrong, but lord love him, I think he was actually trying. Something tells me he wasn't play acting some of his time there and he seemed less leering at when Discua said they may have a chance. The crook is getting soft.

Chatita knows Mari's dad, so I'm thinking she must have met Mari once before or knows of her from her dad. But with her memory as it is, she didn't place her right away.

Can we give Val an award for "best imitation ever"??? Her aping of her mother while dreaming had me spitting coffee. Outstanding!!

Please don't make the Mari mooning over Elias anything going forward. I couldn't take it. Man has enough on his plate.

Is the guy in prison Chatita's son? He sure resembles the guy in her picture. I may have to go back to that episode and check out to be sure.

Daisy
 

This was a terrific ride, thanks for bringing us along.

The unimportant all-nighter Jesus and Alma were pulling was to do a better job and beat the cheating enemy, Orion, to get the Good Make-up Sign of Approval from the Camera.

I guess at Discua's place of worship, everybody learns to dance and turns beautiful.

Pablo--The red wine with pizza. Are you suggesting it should have been white wine instead?

Loved the Taxi-Taxi-Bang-Bang and Xoxchti as a pound puppy who needs to learn not to jump up--down girl, sit, stay. I guess now we're all supposed to feel guilty about criticising her so, when the poor thing has had no maternal upbringing to speak of.

"Pati...even furnishes voices for the silent movie." Ms. Camargo is definitely ready for prime time--oh, right, this is prime time. Anyway, she's pouring all her talent into this role. She's great. ITA..."a hoot and a half."

Vero allows Vale to bring the teddy bear close, as long as it's not touching her face--a little residual control-freakanomics is still in play.

Pablo--Re limosnera con garrote. Please give us the literal translation. I found two meanings, a garrotte (duh) used to strangle someone; the other one, interestingly is a basket or pannier. Which is the correct interpretation in this context or is it neither?
 

Well... for me pizza is kind of informal, and if you eat it at work, I was expecting some like an ice-cold Coca-Cola (I guess they didn't paid for the advertisement). But that is my stomach speaking!

Limosnero y con garrote translates literally as Beggar with a stick. Here is used as Beggars can not be choosers. The beggar ask for something but then hits with a stick when that something is what he doesn't like. In other words: Ungrateful ba**rd!
 

Pablo, Anita...there's an interesting discussion of "lismosnero con garrote" over on Word.Reference.com. And evidently in Cuba they say "limosna con escopete"...but the same idea as Pablo explained. Someone who asks for something and then carps about it and wants something better.

And I'm glad the red wine remark was cleared up. I was thinking: is Pablo a pizza and beer guy? Actually I prefer coke with pizza as well. Red wine goes great though with a steak (happy memories of pre-vegetarian days)
 

Pablo, thank you for your explanation and JudyB thanks for the additional info.

I also raised an eyebrow at Pablo's red wine comment because I LOVE red wine with pizza. Mainly because I don't always like the pizza part of the equation so much. Generally it's not my favorite food but Mr. Sharkbait loves it so there you go.

Daisy, the guy in prison as Chatita's son? Hmmm...interesting thought.
 

I don't buy Yuri being Chatita's son, unless there was a parental kidnapping before he learned to talk. With that accent and name, Yuri is definitely playing the part of a Russian mobster, but obvio he is not the "Godfather" Orange Julius talks to.
 

Everything is possible in a TN, but I think I heard Chatita saying that both her husband and son died. Maybe trying to cross the border or something... anyone remembers?
 

Here is some "food for thought". ...The casino Slot Machine game called Incan Goddess, when the Incan Goddess stops in a winning position, she winks at you, just like Discua.

The Incans were very religious, and lived in South America... Maybe Discua will reveal herself as the Incan Goddess.

Oh yeah, the skirt Alma's been wearing may point to her Mayan roots... you think? (whoever is dressing her, need to be fired.)

Anon#1
 

You guys are right ....anything in a novella is possible. Right now I am keeping an open mind to the possibility that Yuri might be Chatita's son. The guy in her picture looked like a soft, younger version of Yuri. Hulk Hogan meets Juan Gabriel.

When they say someone died a long time ago in a novella....it doesn't mean a thing unless there is are specifics....like he died in my arms...or a definitive flashback. Yuri may have taken a detour to Russia after his supposed death....for all we know.....but there is a very remote chance of this. We need to get Chatita plowed on some Rompompe . Gertie
 

Blue Lass thanks for the recap. It was hilarious; I also enjoyed your likening Xochi to a pound puppy.

Pablo - thanks for the vocab and cultural info. And ITA that Mari won't be able to keep lying w/Elias. Hopefully after Vero he can see obnoxious high maintenance women before they try to get him and his fineness.

While anything is possible in a TN, I can't wish Yuri on Chatita.
 

What is the picture that you think could be Chatita's son? The one by the door with the guy with clear highlights in his hair?
 

Thanks for the attagirls, everybody! It took me a while to hit my stride with this TN, but I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

ITA with those who got a huge kick out of Valentina imitating her mama's sleeptalking. I find I either love or hate the TN kids -- this one's a keeper.
 

Haven't been able to check out the replay of Chatita and her pic, but I'll bow to those who took a good look at it and think they aren't connected...but TN writers always insert those type scenes for some reason. I fully expect that "deceased" son may surface at some point. Chatita needs her happy ending too in this show.

Daisy
 

Thanks, Blue Lass for the clever recap. I have been surfing in and out of this novela. Perhaps Fernando will fall for Winky , get religion, and finally catch the beat. I need more Jesus. Pablo~~I usually drink skim milk with pizza. I prefer an ice cold Coke, but I try to stay away from soda and one glass of wine makes me dizzy. I enjoy your comments , especially your interpretations of phrases. In my speaking class, we do a unit on proverbs. I'm always charmed by the words different cultures use to get a point across. I guess our English equivalent would be a combination of ''Beggars aren't choosers'' and ''Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.'' Captain Sylvia and Judyb~~So good to ''see'' you here. Captain~~~Let me just say....PIRATES...Where are they when you need them ? I like your new icon. Anita~~~When is your birthday ? Mine was April 26. I'm still trying to celebrate , but my loved ones seem to have moved on and are planning the next family member's bday...May 19. Que lastima. A belated HAPPY BDAY to you, Anita, fellow Taurean.
 

Susanlynn- We share the same birthday! Happy Birthday!

Blue- I loved this recap. I haven't had a chance to watch my recordings of any of the Friday shows yet. Will try to do so today.
 

Yes, I just read the recap from the 26th and learned that it was your birthday and Jumpin' Jack's. I am pleased to be in such good company. Did you have a good day ? Happy belated bday, Vivi, my fellow Taurean. The weather was great here on our day...sunny, warm, clear. Did you share the same good weather ? It was actually nice all weekend, but tomorrow it drops to 57 and rain....the party's over then and back to work.
 

Susanlynn- It's been a beautiful bday weekend. So much so that I haven't wanted to be indoors to catch up on my tns. I'm glad you've also had lovely weather.
 

Susanlynn..so glad to know you share a birthday with the lovely Vivi, my Jack-in-love and my friend Ilene. I might have known. I adore you all!

Jack has told his mother "he's so glad God made him a boy" so that he can marry the lovely Miss Emma.

Evidently, part of her captivating charm is that when Jack does something goofy, she giggles and claps and says "Jack, you're so funny". Whereas the boys, well they just try to outdo him with something even wilder.

The secret of feminine charm...appreciate and validate, rather than compete. In goofiness anyway.
 

Blue Lass...wonderful, crisp clear and funny re-cap. Xochi's act has been getting on my nerves to the point that I turn the volume down, if possible, when she comes on. But now that I see her evil mom....and the demand that she get a novia and move out ASAP....I understand Xochi's neurotic adoration of Jesus a little better.

Patymelt is the absolute best. I find myself wishing she'd get a truly great fellow and put the awful Rogue out of her ind completely. I can't remember where I've seen her before but have seen her on another favorite and she is just marvelous.

I loved the easy and free give-and take displayed in Chucho and Alma's relationship.....so convincing.

Am liking this novella alot!



 

Dona Felipa--I agree with you in all respects about Chucho and Alma--except they can't or won't talk about what is in their hearts.

They are both painfully aware, Churcho more than Alma, that each see each other as promised to someone else. This is a big obstacle to overcome by two people who are as principled as these two.

I guess their reticence allows all the other sillies and the side stories to move ahead while they are stuck with giving each other piercing, longing glances and hand porn (not my original phrase--did that come from LQNPA or is it older than that?).

I'm working on the producers' novelographies and will have something to post before midnight. It'll be tagged under Las Proximas, if any one is interested.
 

Dear Judyb~~`I think of you often and remember the many wise words you've shared here at caraycaray, I sometimes feel your positive vibes coming to me from the west. So happy that you have the amazi as events unfold here . Glad that you havethe amazing Jack in your life. I think that my Miss Lily is cut from the same cloth as your Jack and could give Miss Emma a run for Jack's affections if they're paths ever crossed. Perhaps another new novela there, n'est-ce pas ?
 

Blue Lass, that was a sublimely funny recap, loaded with great lines and descriptions.

Xochi's mother is a piece of work, but a good reality check for Marisela. If Marisela would quit being such a snob, I wouldn't mind her.

Fern trying to roll with the children of light was pretty funny.

Chatita just needs to open a 24 hour cafe, child care, and counseling service.

La Paloma
 

Many thanks again Blue. I really enjoyed the recap and the episode too.

Without a doubt, Mari has won the prize for the WORST house of all the Avon workers. Still doesn't give her a right to ask like such a jerk. I think I would actually be fine with her rich girl act, if she were nicer and more respectful to people and their homes/cars/economic status. I was happy that Xochi's mom kicked her out, and had a big laugh at her imitation of Mari. LOL!

Mari's dad has probably shown Chatita pictures of Mari and that's what she's sort of remembering.

I do understand Xochi's desperation for a boyfriend now, but I still need her to tone it down a few notches.

Fernando and Pati were both hilarious this episode.
 

Wow Susanlynn...I'd love it if Miss Lily gave Miss Emma a run for her money. Then we could be relatives!...co-grannies or something. Works for me.
 

Loved that there was lots of Vale time in this TN. She's a fav. I'm beginning to really love Pato.

Needed this funny show, recap, comments to distract me. Lost my beloved cat, Neo Friday night. I don't have children, so he was my baby. I know you pet lovers will understand how heartbroken I am. Sorry to be such a downer. Blame it on my grief.

Nanette
 

Nanette--It is difficult to lose a pet who's been part of the family for many years. It really leaves a hole in your daily routine. There's not much to say but how sorry I am about your loss--I've been there. I've had to bury 5 cats over the decades, all beloved.
 

Nanette...this is a safe place to come when you're feeling sad. For any reason.

We have a lovely little Burmese, Kizzie, that we adopted after her owners developed cancer. When she goes, I'll be here, looking for sympathy and understanding, believe me.

There's nothing like the unconditional love of a pet. What we're all looking for, and what we only seem to get from this trusting, devoted four-legged creatures, whether dogs or cats.
 

Oh Nanette, it is so hard to lose a cat-person. Hope you have or will find another...a catless house is a terrible thing.
 

We lost our Maine Coon this year, and we miss him every day even though he was the worst cat EVER.
 

I've had a lot of cats and they were all wonderful, but Neo was my favorite. The next paragraph is a little detailed. A warning.

The worst of it is I had to watch him die a horrible death. He went so sudden (heart failure) and I realized too late that I needed to get him to the vet--not to save him, he was going to die anyway-- but so he wouldn't have to suffer. So I have this horrible guilt on top of my having my last memories of him dying. I'm not even at the point of mourning his being gone, I'm still grieving at how he went.

I do have another cat, Julie. She's sweet and I love her. But Neo was so special. This sounds corny--but you have to remember I'm a movie person and hear a lot of corny--he was the love of my life and the light of my heart.

Thank you all for being such great friends. I am honored to be part of the Caray Caray family.
 

There will never be another like Neo, I'm sure. The cat of my life was my big tabby, Beau. I hope to be reunited with him some day. I really do.
 

Blue Lass: There's a theory that when we die and go to the Other Side, our friends and relatives can't get to us to greet us right away because our animal family is there first. I truly believe this.
 

So sorry to hear of your loss, Nanette. When I was a little girl growing up on a farm, my mother would not allow animals in the house, but I was known as ''The Cat Girl'' as I fed and played outdoors with my cat herd...Lollipop, Judy, Herbert the pervert, etc. Later, I took my mother's cat Murphey into my house for awhile. [He was a hydrocyphalic with lots of strange behaviors, but I cried when he was gone.] I also cried when our Black Lab Toby died peacefully under his favotite backyard bush. No more pets for me. I cry enough over the people in my life. So sorry for your loss. Neo was lucky to have such a loving friend as you. It's hard to lose any living creature we love.
 

Judyb~~~My older daughter's Nova Scotian mother-in-law spent Christmas with our whole family. She got to see Miss Lily in action and affectionately dubbed her a ''scalliwag.'' Very appropriate.
 

Nanette- I'm so sorry to hear about Neo. It sounds like you had many years of companionship and love with each other, which are memories you will have with you always.
 

Vivi: I hope you're right. I don't think I'll ever get the way he died out of my head. I'll have to try very hard to only think of the good times, which was 99.9% of the time we had together--but I'm just so sad and tired right now, I don't have the energy.

Sorry for highjacking the blog. And thank you all for your kind words. It really does help.

Thanks, Vivi! Glad to see that Abismo and Eva did well -- very entertaining, both.
 

I watched some of this last night and felt like the script was very bad (besides the chopped edition).
Blanca Guerra's argument with Christian de la Fuente was pathetic. I couldn't care less who was nominated or winning, even Paty Christmas got up way before they said her name. Wasn't this fixed?
They made jokes about women's age, age limits to be first actress, etc.
What brings me to another joke. A friend of mine used to say that nowaday ''First actresses'' were the ones who arrived first to the set and the first ones leaving when done...

It was entertaining, but sad. Lucero lip-synched and Juan Gabriel didn't (and even when people forgive him the lack of voice, I think it was not fair)
 

Pablo- I didn't watch the show, just waited till the results were in. I actually find that I can't watch ANY awards shows anymore (Oscars, Emmys, etc). I don't have the patience and I hate the bad jokes. But I like to see who wins, and like to check out the acceptance speeches of the actors I like. Novelas y Series has the acceptance speeches on their site and I watched a few. When I watched her acceptance video, I also noticed that Pati Navidad (PESE) got up before they announced her name, and wondered if this "live" voting was a lie, since she obviously knew she was going to win. Hmmm...

Anita put up a great post on "Proximas" on producers and their tns. That may be a good place to continue any Premios talk without hijacking this space.
 

Dearest Nanette, I'm so sorry that you have Neo's death in your head, but I'm absolutely certain that your being nearby must have been some comfort to Neo, even though it might not seem like it to you. You made a loving sacrifice for your pet by being close by, even though it's painful to you now. A virtual hug to you my dear.

Susanlynn, a belated Happy Birthday to you! So nice to see you pop in and so fun to hear about your Miss Lily.

Vivi, thanks for the Premios update.

Currently I do not have very good internet access so I will likely be a bit "absent".
 

Thank you, Blue! This was definitely a riot. I LOVED "Harpy Chow." Someone should suggest it to Purina. (Also laughed at the comment about fleece-lined slit sleeves. I noticed slit sleeves are all the rage on General Hospital, too. I need for my sleeves to not have big gaping holes in them, no matter how pretty they are. Brrr!)

More birthdays! Hope they were happy!

Regarding pizza and red wine - I like red wine with almost anything, but I also like pizza with almost anything. (Especially grape juice or grape soda. Or Coke. Or beer.) A "gourmet" pizza is especially good with red wine. And sometimes a little red wine makes a bad pizza bearable...
 

Okay, so, yeah, I do remember Chatita saying that her husband and Chatito Jr. were dead but I don't know if she ever said how.

Yuri's accent cracks me up. I can't honestly say it's any worse than mine, but it isn't much better. I remember this guy was a bouncer at parties in a few episodes of Familia.

Xochi is quite the puzzle. I've wondered how such a timid girl could suddenly become so pushy and aggressive. I can see now how her mother is motivating some of her desperation, but at the same time you would think that that same desperation would have caused her to throw herself at some easier target by now. Ah well. That's why we have our beanies...
 

Nanette, I'm so sorry about Neo. I lost my dog Polly six years ago and I still agonize over it sometimes. There is no easy way to lose a pet. I miss her so much. She filled my heart so much, I don't know if there will ever be room for another pet.

After I said goodbye to my Sweet Polly, I actually did a recap that night. It was difficult, but I needed to think about something else for a while. The humor of the episode and the warm support of all my Caray buddies was very therapeutic.
 

Thank you Cap'n and Julie: It really does help to have a group like this. A family, really.
 

Pura Sangre is being shown on Mundo Fox. The first ep was last night. It's regular time is 11:00 am PST. From the bits and pieces that I've seen it looks like MEPS copied it exactly.


 

Revisiting late in the day ...
Sorry for your loss Nanette. Pets are wonderful companions.
 

Thank you, Karen. Since I don't have kids, my cats are my babies.
Though I know all of you who have lost animal family, whether you have a houseful of kids/grandkids or not, feel the deepest grief also.

Thank you all for sharing your stories.


 

Thanks Blue from buns in the door first to all the warm condolences for dear pets and happy birthday wishes ot several C2'ers, this was a great posting and your recap was full of humor and snap.
 

thanks for share..
