It's really embarrassing when you get on an elevator that has lingering B.O. then before you get to where you're going, someone else gets on... And you just know they think it's you that stinks.

What's equally worse is when you enter a public restroom that is trashed and when you walk out the door, the next person waiting in line will think you did it.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a little ashamed to say, but yes, I used to watch Guiding Light.
You can blame my mom for that.

Hard to believe it's ending. I'm going to have to make sure and watch
it this next week. Goodbye Spauldings, Coopers and Reva.

ROGER THORPE (Michael Zaslow) was the best. It was very
sad that he died from Lou Gehrigs' Disease in 1998 (I believe).

^^
I think it was '98 when he died. It's very sad. One of his daughters died not too long after in a car accident, and his wife passed fairly recently. The one remaining daughter is on her own. I actually never really forgave Guiding Light for their abysmal treatment of him when he first became ill. I'm glad One Life to Live hired him and let the story play out until his death. I'll always miss Roger Thorpe.

My mother and grandmother both watched the show, and in fact my grandmother has heard (back in the radio days) and seen the show's entire run. She's 87. I imagine she didn't think she would outlive it. I've watched it off and on over the years. It was like a comfort blanket and I thought it would be around forever.

^^lol...I'm just going to go ahead and tell you in advance that this is going to sound weird...but Guiding Light makes me very, very sentimental...

I am actually really quite sad over GL ending...even though I haven't watched it in years. It was one of the shows that my mother watched when I was a kid and as far back as I can remember I always lovvvvved Reva and Josh...even today, whenever I think of those two, it makes me smile! The story lines sort of got out of control and I quit watching it right after the whole Reva/Josh/Annie storyline ended...but during that time period my mom would rush to the high school to pick me up and then we would rush back to watch it and then we would rush to get me to my after school job. Still, even though I haven't watched it in so long, I can't believe that after all these years its over. I'm definitely going to watch the last few episodes.

Sounds like we have more than a few Guiding Light fans on here.
