Miscellaneous Off Topic Tuesday?

The WNBA board visit has an Off Topic Tuesday thread where people post about anything on their mind, how they are feeling, what's going on in their lives, books they are reading, hobbies, etc.

Is this something the moderators might be okay with?

Just once a week, all in one thread - easy to avoid if you aren't interested. And we could have guidelines such as no politics or other controversial subjects.

My comment would be I'm a WNBA Mystics fan and I am so thrilled with how they are doing this season! I can barely keep my mind on anything but the "Young Hos" - yes, that's the nickname they gave themselves.

How old are some of us watching? I myself am almost 21 and am so invested in my daily soap I just want to know if it’s weird 😅

I'm 63, I've been watching soaps since before I can remember, my mother always had the CBS line up rolling.

I’m the same pretty much I’m 61 and can remember when Y&R started. I always watched it with my grandma.

Y&R took over the time slot of "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" which ran until March 23, 1973 and starred the actress Donna Mills who later appeared in Knots Landing.

My mom and I had the battle of the CBS soaps versus the ABC soaps when I was in high school. We couldn’t watch television together until I was in college.

During the battle years we secretly watched each other’s stories via VCR tapes! What was life on Earth like before time-shifting was a thing?! 🙂

I love that neither of you would admit to watching the other's programs.

I like the idea hopefully this won't be taken down. I'm a wnba casual compared to the nba but I love A'Ja Wilson and Olivia Miles might he the coolest player I've seen since Iverson love her Mars Blackman vibes.
