PTL and Days of Our Lives

Do you remember the 700 Club or the PTL hour? Today on "Every Body Hates Chris" Chris wanted to tape the 700 Club and PTL so he could pray to not be robbed again. That brought back a flood of memories. Funny ones. Who's mother didn't make them get washed up and be seated EVERY DAY before Jim and Tammy Baker came on the TV?

I'm the only one? I can't believe that. My mother was a die hard Jim and Tammy Faye Baker fan. We had one of those TV's (color) that was on a swivel stand and just when your show came on it would get fuzzy. I was the TV beater and Chanel changer. Come on...I know there are others who had that same job. My mother was also a bigger die hard "Days of Our Lives" fan. She bathed us, then praised and worshiped, then cleaned the whole house, and had dinner ready to cook all before Bo and Hope could ride off into the sunset on his motorcycle.

School interupted many years of "Days" for me, then came the VCR. Did I record it? Yes. I. Did. Every single day. Once, I even recorded it over my High School Graduation (on accident)...still have it!

We also watched 700 Club, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, Another World, and hello....DUKES OF HAZZARD.

P.S. Did I mention that I wanted to BE Hope Brady? I wanted to be her so bad, I practiced arching just one eyebrow one summer in front of the mirror ALL SUMMER and mastered it? Yes. I. Did. And it's possible that I might have copied her hair do. I'll see what I can dig up in the next couple days for...maybe I have a picture...

Who wouldn't love this guy? I might have rode a motorcycle for him.

Just memories!
