IT'S JUST TOO LATE

to own this replica. The Ebay sale is over. Some lucky body was able to purchase this replica ring of Victoria Carlton Newman's engagement to JT Houseeman or something. She was also married to a Ryan Something and was engaged to Neil Winters at one time. Those are all I know, but then again I'm not the loyalist viewer of The Y & R.

But there's a website for those who relish owning replicas of all the different Soap's rings. I would think they would change weekly if I know Soaps. And I don't. But when I hear "do, do, do do, do, do, do, rah, rah, rah, rah..." well, I don't even know the name of the theme song, but I've liked it since some Olympic gymnast used it in a performance.

My mom watched the Soap and so did our kids when they were small. It was on at 11 AM and 4 PM so sometimes they'd watch, I'd ask who and what, and now with tv being what it is, my wife and I will tape the show and watch it when something bad is happening to someone or when Victor Newman is doing something cool.

We can fast forward when some we don't like are focal points. I should clarify, too, that only I, not my wife, likes to see bad stuff happen. I actually root for the kidnappers and killers most of the time. Why? I'm mean, I guess. And there are very few that I like besides Victor, who's mean himself. He has a new son Adam from another marriage and he's ruthless, so I like him. He has a girlfriend I like, too, because she's devious and a lot like Victor who doesn't like her.

So if Adam and his girl get engaged, there will be another replica ring to bid on. I don't think anyone I know will bid. I might, if the girl is mean enough in upcoming shows.
