Forrest Compton was a fine character actor. He was probably best known for his role as Mike Karr on the soap opera The Edge of Night, which he played from 1971 to the show's end in 1984. He died earlier this year of COVID-19 at the age of 94.

My favorite soap opera of all time is "Ciranda de piedra," produced in 1981 in Brazil and broadcast in Ecuador a few years later as "Ronda de piedra."

We get a lot of Mexican soap operas in the Philippines. But we have many of our own, too.

My favorite soap is Castile soap.

Originally named after the olive-oil based soaps from Castile, Spain, castile soaps these days are made from olive and a variety of other oils, all of which are plant-, nut-, or vegetable-derived. (Coconut, hemp, almond, and walnut oil are all commonly used, and castile soap can come in either liquid or solid form.)

Along with these oils, castile soaps contain lye, which, when mixed with the oil, creates soap molecules. Mix that soap with water and it creates charged atoms that capture dirt and other grime.

I like lavender-scented ones myself.

I've become a body wash guy over the past couple of years. It's just so much more convenient than bar soap.

Ren the Chihuahua once mistook a bar of soap for an ice cream bar.

It was...space madness.

Ren:
Now listen, Cadet. I've got a job for you. See this button?

[Stimpy reaches for the button; Ren slaps his hand away]

Ren:
Don't touch it! It's the History Eraser button, you fool!

Stimpy:
So what'll happen?

Ren:
That's just it. We don't know. Maybe something bad, maybe something good. I guess we'll never know, 'cause you're going to guard it. You won't touch it, will you?

Ah, yes, the History Eraser button. Well known to various DC editorial committees over the past three decades. LOL

When they brought Will & Grace back a few years ago, they more or less did that with the series finale. Apparently it the original ending of the series was a drunken delusion of Karen's.

It's easy. Is it good? Probably not.

My fourth-grade teacher was named Mrs. Good.

When she was sad, was that "Good Grief?"

I recommend the Kristen Bell series The Good Place.

Just Wikied The Good Place, and while I was there I brushed up on Kristen Bell's full career. She appeared in both the stage and movie versions of "Reefer Madness: The Musical," which I haven't seen but it sounds great!

My son and daughter have really enjoyed The Good Place and have watched all of the episodes.

Veronica Mars, starring Kristen, was such a great series that I will forever love her for! I don't have Hulu, so I haven't seen the Season 4 revival, yet.

Have heard good things about Veronica Mars too!

British Mars Bars are better than American Mars Bars. None of those pesky nuts, just caramel + nougat + chocolate.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy started as hard sci fi, but eventually had characters with super long lifespans that over stayed their welcome.

I?m guessing the series wasn?t about immortality, then

^^Seriously. The first book of that series is so strong, but I don't think I ever made it through the final book.

Catch-22 was the first book I stopped reading. It just was making me feel too depressed.

I'll give the first book a try. Thanks, guys.

There are so many books I've wanted to read, but (despite what my profession is) I found nothing was keeping my attention till started doing audiobooks.
