TBS is trying to kill us
I just got sucked into back-to-back TBS programming: Message in a Bottle, followed by A Walk to Remember.
HAVE YOU NO MERCY?? My head feels like it’s going to crack wide open, it hurts so much from all this crying. Even with commercial interruptions, you can still work up enough momentum to have those deep-belly sobs every ten minutes or so.
I haven’t sucked my thumb in a long time (okay, at least since high school), but I’m telling you, I feel a strong suck urge coming on right now. Either that or I need a foot-tall ice cream sundae or a bubble bath or something. I need the sad times to go away.
WHY DID THOSE SWEET, TRAGIC PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE???? AND JUST WHEN THEY FINALLY FOUND LOVE?!

I can’t watch weepers. They wreak havoc on my sinuses.

What about the Hallmark Company? For the umpteenth time over many years I allowed myself to watch the latest Hallmark special on TV last night. They always kill me. The commercials are just as heartwrenching as the movie itself. I started crying at the first commercial break and didn’t stop until the end of the movie. I don’t know why I do it to myself. The next one is on Jan. 28th. I can’t wait.

Oh yeah–Hallmark is a killer. I still can’t even think about “To Dance with the White Dog”–just mop me off the floor.

The Hallmark one made me SO mad.
1. My mother watched it with me, and about 40 minutes in, turned to me and explained the entire story, including the end.
2. I expected a Hallmark sappy Christmas movie, and it turned out to be a Hallmark sappy Labor Day movie. What was up with that? (Granted, they never advertised it as Christmas fare, but the candles made me expect it.)
3. I didn’t see enough development of her relationship with the town to justify the whole candle/picnic scene. I was not buying it.
4. Despite all of this, I still ended up crying for the last 10 minutes of the movie. Plus during every single commercial break.
My cable company doesn’t offer The Hallmark Channel. I may have to move or get a satellite dish.

Nancy, I agree–those commercials are killers. Now if I could just make people cry that easily with my books . . .
