The soap opera quality here reminds me of when my first wife was pregnant with our first son at MIU. All she could do was lie in our pod room and throw up and watch TV. The only channel we got on our crappy little B&W TV was ABC: All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital (anyone remember Luke & Laura?). As it was only during this time slot that she wasn't feeling totally like shit, that was our "time together." We actually named our son Jaimini, partially due to Indian saint and (more likely) because there was a cute kid on one of those damn soap operas named Jamie. I did both of our class work (statute of limitations on that one?) and tried to get her potatoes from the commissary, as it was the only thing she could keep down. A potato baked in our equally crappy toaster oven. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get a few lousy taters. I showed them her meal card, saying she wouldn't be eating at the cafeteria and could I have a few potatoes. Suffice it to say I had to get a friend who had commissary privileges to smuggle the spuds (man, who knows what the statute is on that one!) Anyway, I vowed after all of that, never to watch a soap opera again. And here I am on FFL. Funnily enough (remember that phrase?) I met a Scientologist who used to be on one of those shows. He opened his talk by saying he had been on a soap opera with the most unlikely title and made us guess.
