PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"WSC3 (FF) Late Fees" |
~~~Late Fees~~~Sandy rushed to the video counter at the local grocery store. Five minutes to twelve, she just made it. “You’re at the wrong store.” Hmm? She wasn’t quite listening as she jammed the tapes into the slot. “Those are from Blockbuster, ma’am.” The video clerk approached the counter and pulled the tapes from the bin and handed them back to her. She looked at them dubiously. They both bore the bright blue and gold Blockbuster logo. “Stupid,” she thought to herself. “Uh, thanks,” she managed. She put her dark sunglasses on and walked out of the store. Hot tears spilled down her cheeks. She was doing it again. Sandy did manage to remember where she parked her car, this time, and she headed for home. It was starting. She’d suspected for months now, but it was much worse lately. Last week she found the butter in the drawer and the phone book in the refrigerator. Tuesday she almost hit her neighbor’s mailbox when she though her car was in drive, it was actually in reverse. And names, she couldn’t remember names. Not just people’s names, but names of things. Sometimes the words just wouldn’t come out. Just as surprisingly, old memories seemed to float to the surface. At night her mind would race with recollections of her first grade teacher and the old cat her grandmother had. It was a good thing Sandy was a nurse, because she knew just what to do. Her grandmother died at age 82. Senility they called it then. Cause of death- advanced old age. Her father passed away at 71. They had a fancier term for it by then, Alzheimer’s disease. She was now 56 and it was already starting in her. But she knew what to do. She had no husband, no children, so it ended with her. She came home to her small house and headed to the medicine cabinet. She was a nurse, a trained medical professional, she had caught it early. Phenobarbital, 20mg. She got in bed and covered herself with the blanket. She would sleep, but not wake up. It ended with her. Too bad the videos would be late.
