Calling all bloggers (and readers): we are under spam attack
Owing to a sudden onslaught of spam comments, I've changed the settings on comments so that after seven or ten days comments will NOT be automatically published, but will be submitted for moderation. I believe (but I'm not sure) that each individual blogger will start seeing a lot of comments to be moderated. It's now your responsibility to kill the spam ones and let the others go through. I would do it, but I only get the comments put on my own posts. If you have questions let me know.
And readers, I suggest you get your comments up promptly (unless you are a spam generating robot) because later they may not be appearing in a timely manner!
I don't know why blogger is suddenly letting us down like this. Or whether the spammers suddenly noticed we are getting about 12,000 visits a day (we're up to around 14 million total now!) and figure it's worth it to attack us.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #157 4/6/15 Javier is Dead, Irma May Not Be Far Behind
Monday's Episode:
Everybody is gathered at Lupe's house for Javier's wake. Apparently Sofia won't be getting the entire race prize check because Chava sprang for a better casket for Javier than a simple wooden fruit crate. Then again, Chava must have saved on embalming costs because, let's face it, most of Javier was already pickled. Lots of tears and "I'm so sorry for your loss" from those attending. Sofia and Alexa give Lupe' their condolences and offer to help in any way they can. Marisol sits on the stairs and glares at Dani.
Silvana and Pato take a breather from sex to watch the news. The news anchor solemnly announces that Salvador Cruz's happiness at his victory was marred by the death of his father shortly after the race. Pato and Silvana laugh at this turn of events because Pato hates Chava and Silvana is just a bitch.

We are over! La Sombra Del Pasado #35 04/06/2015
First, I'd like to announce to the patio that I also have my little beady eyes set on Renato, and I'll throw rocks at anyone who comes between us, you've been warned!
We pick up where we left off last week, Aldi is telling Renato that she kissed Cristobal because she loves him and tha even though she loves him she also understands that they can't be together. I'm all for honesty but when you know a guy is into you it's just kinda mean to tell him that you love someone else, at least I think so. Renato to his credit does not pitch a fit like so many other telenovela men would do and instead tells Aldi that he worries because she is in love with the son of the man she wants to destroy. Aldi changes the subject and invites Renato on a tour of the property, he agrees to go.
In the hacienda of no love and zero privacy Cris is in bed with a book-but his thoughts are actually on a conversation he had with Mel, when Mel told him he should take the bull by the horns and fight for the woman he loves instead of attending engagement parties. Candy walks in on Cris and quickly questions where he went off to during the party, he tells her he went for a walk, he was very uncomfortable with all the strange people and needed a walk to clear his head. Candela does not buy it and finally Cris snaps at her and tells her to tell him where he was if she does not believe him, she makes it seem like Cris is the one with the problem and tells him she'll leave because he's clearly in a bad mood-umm with a mother like her it's a surprise he hasn't started cutting himself to express his inner angst. Candy take a moment to ask Cris is Val liked the ring and he says that she did.

Amores con trampa #6 4/6/15 Is it just me or is it hot in here?
Beto has just stopped Facundo from signing the papers that would make him business partners with Santiago. Beto informs his father that Santiago is just trying to rob him. He knows this because Rocío, Santaigo's own niece told him!
The security guard thinks he should have listened to his mother and become a fireman or un soldado de *BLEEP*.
Santiago wants everyone to calm down. Esteban thinks there must be some misunderstanding. Santiago explains that Rocío has some psychological problems and is on medication. She's troubled. She's being very difficult lately. That must be why she told Beto that her uncle was trying to cheat Facundo. Beto asks Santiago to deny his company is in trouble. Santiago comes right out with the truth. Yes. The company is going though a difficult moment right now. But that doesn't mean he's trying to steal from Facundo. Facundo thinks he should think about the deal a little more. Santiago understands. Handshakes all around.

Quiero Amarte (Week 29-Apr 6) Highlights & Discussion
Is this the week their downward slide begins as revelations and confrontations begin?
How much longer can the master criminal minds, Lucrecia and her evil spawn, Cesar, prevail against the forces for good?
(But we also beg the telenovela gods to hurry up and have Mauro meet his younger self (as Dr. Guapo) and hope it isn't because of or doesn't cause another heart attack.)

Amores con trampa #5 4/3/15
I'll get right to the new stuff (bear in mind I miss most of the jokes)...
Esteban tries to convince the workers not to quit. He understands they haven't been paid...He hasn't been paid either! But the company needs them. He promises to give them all bonuses if they stay. Santiago arrives with Facundo and Beto. He tries to convince Facundo what a great project it is. It smells like comfort and well-being for families! Facundo introduces his son and Facundo meets one of the workers. Santiago desperately tries to close the deal, but Beto thinks this is not the best time to make decisions. They've only just arrived in the city! Facundo agrees Facundo wants to think about it (echarle una buena pensadera.) Where did the soccer ball come from?

Amores con trampa #4 4/2/15
Marta wrote up the following and I just copied and pasted from her.
YOU ARE WONDERFUL MARTA! THANK YOU!
Here are some quotes and comments about ep 4.
Both Santiago and Isabel refer to Maria as ‘la guarachuda’
Maria: El changarro is cute! (referring to Isa’s boutique locale)
So Yoya’s real name is Carmen.
Beto: sera mejor que se vaya, si no… le voy a dejar la cara mas machucada que un venado en carretera!
(LOL!!) you better go now… otherwise I will smash your face worse than a deer on a highway!
OMG that Francisca is a B with capital BEE.

La Sombra del Pasado #33 4/2/15 ¿Fiesta o Pesadilla?
This episode felt a little like filler-esque set up...but at the same time oddly tense.
Directo al grano
- Severiano(Sev) instructs Abelardo(Lardo) to break into Dr. Humberto's office, locate the rental contract, take clear and legible pictures of and then trash the office to make it look like a robbery. Lardo gets a wad of cash for the job.
- Renato shares a meal with his mother. She is again overcome with a stabbing pain in her head. Renato begs her to take care of herself and see the neurologist. He will go with her. She finally agrees. His mother quips that he seems more like a father than a son.
- Adelina thanks Emmanuel(E-man) for helping to clean the house, especially since it's his day off. She worries what Sev would do if he found out. Aldonza and Joaquin arrive with new locks. Adelina's eyes are google as she watches Joaquin install the new locks. She thinks about her conversation with Padre Jeronimo(Padre J) when she admitted to only having an admiration and respect for him and nothing more.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 53 - Whats a Promise??? - Full Recap
Refrito: Helena applies guilt with a trowel to Mateo, saying he’ll matarla en vida (kill her in life, make her as good as dead) if he leaves his wife and child. She is firmly on Diana’s side. “Even above my happiness?” “Yes. It’s the job of the parents to make sacrifices for their children.”
New: Comandante Barragan approaches Motor at the mechanic shop and asks if Motor had a chance to look over the car in which Fausto had his accident. Yes, he did and it does indeed appear that somebody le metió mano (put a hand in it, messed with it). Barragan says that whoever messed with Fausto’s vehicle also messed with the Padre’s. Motor is like, “That would be me.” But Barragan expresses his faith that Motor is innocent, that Marcelino framed him, and that they will find the true culprit.
Lucio is sitting at Mac’s table in her house when she walks in. She gets a little frisky, sitting on his lap and saying she never thought she would say it, but she missed him. I didn’t quite catch their whole conversation, but it seemed like he said she was full of it and she said yeah, I am. She asks after Max, and he says Max is safe in Mexico City. Lucio asks if she made use of Benito since she was missing Lucio, just like she makes use of him (Lucio) when Fausto rejects her. Then he grabs her in a choke hold and says if Benito caves to Barragan about their involvement with Fausto’s accident, he will kill Benito. I’m not sure why he needs to be choking Mac as he says this, but she seems okay with it and they kiss.
The twins are together, and Daniela says she wishes Lucio would go away because he makes her nervous. He’s obviously a criminal. “No worse than our father, and you handled him just fine,” says Ximena, teasing us with a back story that we don’t know yet. Anyway, Daniela needs to pull herself together and run the show for a while, because Ximena will be checking into a spa for some R&R before her hubby comes home from the hospital.

Que Te Perdone Dios #52: Discussion Page
1. Motor hits up the bars after getting rejected (reminds me of poor Germán in LM)
2. Lucio returns and threatens Benito after telling him Barragan questioned him about Fausto's accident.
3. Amanda, Vicenta, and Constanza chat about the happenings at the hacienda. Amanda and Vicenta remind a confused Constanza that Renata has secrets of her own.
4. Dianaconda slithers in Diego's direction to turn him to the dark side by making a deal that he needs to lie
to Mateo about what he really saw that time at La Enramada when Di and Fausto were getting it on so that Diego can woo Abii without any interference from Mateo. And so that Mateo will regret divorcing Diana.
5. Diego and Mateo talk. Diego almost regrets lying
and is about to tell Mateo the truth when Helena arrives and takes Mateo away so that he can have a civil conversation with Diana.
6. Diana "insists" Helena not make Mateo talk to her if he doesn't want to. Helena gives her support to Diana. Helena lectures Mateo about taking responsibility for "his" child. Helena reveals to Mateo that his father was
a jerk (that's at least partly the truth).
7. Helena reveal[s] a partial truth to Mateo about his dad, that he was not a good guy. She neglected to mention the rather glaring detail that Fausto is his dad. But she poured the guilt thick onto Mateo, to not leave his wife and child the way his own father did. Helena was distraught, saying how that man ruined her life, destroyed her heart.
8. Diego and Mateo continue their conversation. Diego lies and says the woman he saw with Fausto was Mia. Mateo remembers the "fake" kiss. Mateo wonders why Abi said it was Diana.
9. Julio and Eduviges declare their "love" each other. Julio wants to keep their relationship a secret from Efi. Julio plans his "business deal" with the sisters.

La Sombra del Pasado #32 - Wed 4/1 - In which the fools don't even recognize their own foolishness
Aldonza has no intention of going to the engagement party, which Adelina is happy about. As she is happy to see the pretty, pretty flowers…and the sweet card, "None of these flowers is as beautiful as you, but they try." Are they from Renato, or aren't they? What about Cristobal? Aldonza doesn't think so, since he was there and since he asked who sent them, and since he's on the verge of getting married. And really, Aldonza really doesn't want to talk boys…she'd rather clean house. Screw that! I say keep talking about boys if those are the only options!

Amores con trampa #3 1 Apr 2015 Animal House Party!! poor Petunia!!
Santiago tries to convince Facundo to invest in the builder company. Santiago’s company builds condo buildings.
Isa meets Margarito… then Porfirio almost hand-feeds her a boiled egg… gets flirty with her. Perpetua nags him.
Perpetua tells Isa that in their hometown they called him ‘el mil amores’ and ‘el todas mias’ (all women are mine)
They give isa some warm drink… jumirichi (I think it had a worm in the glass because she had something in her mouth when she spit on Perpetua.
Isa falls in the pool, Facundo jumps after her.
Lo Nuevo:
Santiago feels embarrassed. Isa gets a bit of a wardrobe malfunction… she runs back to her house with a hand on butt.
Back in their bedroom, Isa nags at Santiago for forcing her to go there with him. Why are you so interested in being friends with them?... She keeps whining and demanding he tell her what is going on. Insists… insists… you can’t handle the truth!!! You really want the truth?? Here it goes… the company is totally bankrupt. We are going to loose everything. The house, the company.. everything!! … that is why I need to get close to those rancheros. The govt paid them $10 Mill for their lands. If we can convince them to invest in our business, we can survive. He has tried all other avenues. No one will lend him a peso. ‘either the corn planting farmers… or the streets.’ Isa is in disbelief. Why me!??
As soon as we have their money they will have to leave penniless… He promises Isa that it will be as he says. He cuddles her in his arms.
Facundo gets a bit tlc from his wife and family. Maria comments that the neighbors are a bit misbehaved. Facundo mentions that the husband is not as strict/firm as he should be. Facundo will go to his business tomorrow and will talk with him. Facundo announces to his family that he is about to become an entrepreneur. They all congratulate him.
At Santiago’s office, Santiago is showing Facundo some videos. Serves him a whole lot of BS of visualizing Facundo and Maria playing tennis, on the Jacuzzi, with the family and the farm animals all around them… and will do good for the community… success!!! Santiago presents Esteban to Facundo. Facundo squeezes Esteban’s hand. Esteban plays his part telling Santiago in front of Facundo that someone just bought a condo from them cash. Santiago milks the lie for all its worth. Facundo asks how much should I invest. Santiago says not much… just some… 50 Million pesos (ballpark is about half of what Facundo has). Facundo impactado at the amount.

La Sombra del Pasado #31, 03/31/2015
Severiano (Sev) saves Abelardo (Lardo) from the thugs that were beating him up. They jump off of him as soon as Sev says boo. Sev tells Lardo to get in the car and shushes the gang leader when he tries to explain that they were just playing with him.
Aldonza (Aldie) and Renato (Ren) are strolling through the streets. Aldonza has just shared her secret recipe for frying monsters in hell aka her big plans, but we were not privy to it. Whatever it is, Renato seems to think it’s a good idea, but wants to study the contract and local laws to make sure they can do it legally. He recognizes that Sev’s very powerful so they can’t jump into this willy nilly. Aldonza says she’s willing to put her life on the line for this. Renato says he wouldn’t recommend that as her lawyer…but as a man, he’ll walk into Hell with her if she asks. She smiles, thanks him and says that’s just what she needed to hear. In return he thanks her for her company. Um…seriously? I already feel for his poor, broken heart.
