Thanks!#4: Georgia Wren (teachno11) on Sep 1, 2009
Although I don't watch it any more, it has been one of my favorites since it first debuted. I suspected from the name what the outcome would be. Thanks!#5: Petra Lassen (Stjarna) on Sep 2, 2009 [SPOILER]
I read (today, actually!) that over 11000 episodes have been recorded. Wow.#6: Teresa K (fasstar) on Sep 2, 2009 [SPOILER]
I'm not a soaps fan, but I wanted to make an hour glass, and the first thing that came to mind was this line.#7: Byrdie (byrdie) on Mar 3, 2010
I don't watch soaps now, but I did 25 years ago when the kids were little and I was stuck at home. This one was a favorite, because I liked Marlena (Deidre Hall). Her twin sister Samantha was fun to watch too.
Somewhat symetrical and yet, not. A fun solve.#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Mar 3, 2010
Thanks, Martin.#9: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 1, 2010
Nice pattern Teresa....#10: Teresa K (fasstar) on Apr 1, 2010
Didn't think you were a soap woman, being your a puzzle person!
You're right, Tom, I'm not. LOL I just liked the image and thought the title would go nicely with it.#11: Amanda French (Amandarose_20) on Apr 8, 2010 [SPOILER]
As soon as I saw the title I knew! My mother in law watches it everyday!!#12: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Oct 13, 2010
really was a fun puzzle and a great image.#13: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 18, 2011
Does this remind anyone else of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, when Bill tried to talk philosophy with So-crates? "All we are is dust (blows a handful of sand) in the wind."#14: Teresa K (fasstar) on Feb 18, 2011
:-D#15: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on May 15, 2011
yes, very good image and fun solve. curiously, i've managed to reach 49 years of age without watching one soap opera.#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 15, 2011
you haven't missed much! :D#17: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Nov 29, 2022
Going back and solving some oldies I missed and found this gem. Nice, Teresa.#18: Spot (Pspaughtamus) on Feb 23, 2023
I watched "Days" in college, back in the '80s. I can hear MacDonald Carey (Dr. Tom Horton)'s voice saying the opening. I knew he had died, and I wondered if they kept it, and according to the trivia in IMDB, yes, it's still used. I'm glad. I was watching when John De Lancie played Eugene Bradford. I had a hard time reconciling that the same actor could play that sad puppy and Q on Star Trek: TNG.
