ElizabethB Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Please don't give us Spaniards a bad name. Those are not Spanish soap operas, they are Spanish language soap operas from Latin America! However I have to confess that they are broadcast in Spanish private TV stations and lots of people are hooked on them! I can't understand why!!! It's like going back in time 50 years in terms of social customs! I am sorry! I have actually been to Spain and watched real Spanish TV, you are right, it is much better. (Although Latin American soap operas are a very low standard!) I enjoyed Spain. Although I spent much of my time there stuck at a base, I did get to go see a bit of the sights once or twice during my trip there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 AuntieM, thanks for posting the wax story. After all this time, and knowing how the story goes, it still makes me laugh so hard I cry. Sooo funny! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Okay, for those that asked - many of us have seen this a thousand times - and still laugh to the point of tears. The old thread is long gone, but here's the key post.... enjoy! All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. . This and the unintended-birth-at-home on the leather couch while the placid old guy from next door entertained the other kids are my all time favorite posts!

Half of me is amused and the other half is completely puzzled at how popular these soap operas are among some sectors of the Spanish population!

Trish Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I had no idea this would be bumped back...I've been dealing with flu kids and didn't get online. Sorry!! :) The director subbed for her on Monday and on Wednesday there was a new coach. :D The odd thing is that she brought her oldest child, the only one old enough to participate in the class, and she sat in the room with the other parents alone. She didn't bring her other kids either day. :001_huh: You'd think if she can find a sitter to watch while she sat there as an observer she'd be able to find one so she could coach. :confused: Maybe she just didn't want to coach and didn't know how to say no, so she managed to get herself fired. She's much too complex for me to spend time trying to evaluate. I'm just glad she's not coaching anymore! Okay, wait, so when she's coaching it's okay for the other parents to watch her kids. But she wouldn't want to be watching them herself in the same situation? Or, maybe she was told by the administrator that they weren't ever to comd again? Is there a Hall of Fame for threads like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I hate to say it... but I hope she didn't leave them home alone. She seems like the type who would. Maybe they're out in the parking lot strapped into their carseats? Quick, somebody check! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I hope you are feeling better today and that a laugh will help shake that cold right outta ya! That's perfectly fine! The wax story is one of my all time favorites. We should have a sticky thread for these stories, so when we're having one of those days we can find it quickly!! I missed the leather couch story too. Now I'm waiting patiently on kalanamak to enlighten us. :toetap05: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarinesWife Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Dying of laughter!!!!!!!! I will NEVER use wax by myself! Hahaha. I want to read the birth/couch story too.

Dolphin Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I want a sticky of greatest hits. I have only been a member since August, so I am slowly catching up on these. I would love a link to the leather couch story. I now know about the insane acting coach, hot wax and teA. But what are books and bookshelves, I saw a veiled reference to that the other day. Stacie, it sounds like you handled it well, that was really nice of you to put yourself forward and save the other mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacie, it sounds like you handled it well, that was really nice of you to put yourself forward and save the other mother. I can't remember who was the originator of the booKs - it was way back on the old boards, but basically she was talking about ordering from ChristianBooks and typed ChristianBoobs instead - which of course led to a lot of hilarity about what makes them "Christian" vs. "non-Christian" and so forth and so on, which led to the board refererring to them as "booKs" (code word for boobs) and "booKshelves" (code word for bras). I wish I could remember who that was - I remember she also typed "husbank" for "husband". Oh, the fun we had :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I would love a link to the leather couch story. I have hunted a bit, but maybe it was on the old boards. I surely didn't make that memory up. The woman had precipitous labor, and either her husband or EMS made it just in time and she was thinking "oh no, I'm going to birth on my nice leather couch", all the while the retiree from next door was entertaining the older kids in the kitchen. Who was that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These stories (all 24 pages of 'em) took me all the way through my first cup of morning coffee. You ladies are a riot. :smilielol5: Good for you, Stacie, for standing up for yourself. :hurray: Amen and Amen! I can now go about my day with a smile I will never explain on my face.
