How true, though the only thing I can't see Classic Carrie
falling for such an ass as Asstin. It just does not fit--the
other Carrie seemed the type to fall for such a dick-weed. Interesting
is the fact that it seems as though that they are moving to a
John (or is he really John, and not Roman) and Marlena thing
and they brought back Clarke. On the Xmas episode the three
looked so good together--they seemed to fit so well.

Another thing, supposedly Billie and Butthead were to be
teamed up during this Carpetstain and Laurence thing. Now,
we hear that Alfonso--as Hope or as a Hope look---is
returning. So, I was wondering if they are now going to 
trash this Billie thing and use Hope to be the wedge between
the Carnalknowledge/Boozo story. With Alfonso returning I
cannot see any reason--though I never could--to have BillieGoat
around. I sure hope that Carrie tells Billie off, as if I would
keep someone as a roommate who does not pay, who is constantly
acting like a jerk and a tramp, who is an addict, and most of all,
someone who steals from me. Though if Billie left than poor
Crystal wouldn't have anyone to make her look good.

I've been thinking about this for a couple of days.  According to Ms.
Orsini, her son was "lost" when he was a small child and only recently
reunited.  Do you suppose that Opal could have kid-napped Ted when he
was little and changed his name to Tad?  Would make for an interesting
(and long, long) story line.  From what I've watched of this Tad-Return,
Ms. Orsini seems to genuinely believe that Ted is her son.  I don't get
the impression that she's living a lie or trying to pull something over
on anyone.

Being a soap, this could go a number of different ways.  Probably even
the writers are not sure yet...

Sounds good to me.  You know that the Cortlandts and Chandlers both
live on River Road, and I believe their property borders each other.

The snowstorm is a good touch for several reasons, one being if she 
sees Tad, people could pass it off because of the snow's "blurring"
effect.

I have a question. I hope someone can help me.

On a soap recently (please don't get into a discussion on the merits
of soap watching), a doctor gave a person a drug to calm her down. The
background is that her husband is gaslighting her and she is sure her
dead husband is alive. Now, everyone thinks she is crazy. Her current
husband has an actor call and talk to her to convince her that her
dead husband is alive. This has been going on for awhile, and now she
is sure her current husband will kill her and her kids if he finds out
that she suspect he had anything to do with her dead husband's death.

Her husband told people that he is worried about her, and feels he may
commit suicide, she's so depressed. At a party, he told people that he
was takling her and the kids to a remote ski area. She freeked. She
pulled out a steak knife and warned him that he was not taking her
anywhere. She ran upstairs. later, a doctor (called by the husband)
came and when the doctor went to the patient, she was hysterical and
ranting and raving. She did not want to be calmed down, and she
specifically said she did not want drugs. The husband told the doctor
to give his wife the drug to calm her dowm.

The doctor gave her the drugs.

I was wondering if this is legal.

I know - It's Only A Soap...but I have had a discussion about this and
I was wondering if this could happen in real life. I know EMTs cannot
give medication if the patient declines or unless they are unconscious
(I learned this from Emergency! so it may not be true).

Please remember that this is posted in three newsgroups...I'm sure the
nice people in sci.med don't want to hear about other soaps this has
happened in.

Thanks for your help.

The only problem with this is that calling yourself 'Mrs. Jane Smith'
used to imply you were divorced; the Mrs. indicated the divorced part,
but you still could not use your husband's first name since you were not
married.

I solve this by being Ms. Amy Rupp.  I don't like Mrs. Amy Rupp.

This quarter in Chippewa History and Culture, I met a young
woman.  Tracy has been blind for 5 years.  She uses a guide dog,
a lovely Golden named Amber.  Well, Tracy and I kind of clicked,
and we've been studying together at her dorm room.  (She makes
great coffee, what can I say?!)  Anyway, when we talk, she "looks"
right at me.  She has a lovely sense of humor, too, and more than
once she has taken my cheap abuse, wrapped a bow around it, and
flung it back at me.  :-))))  When Amber is working, that is, in
harness, I cannot make contact with Amber, either verbally or
physically.  But when I'm in Tracy's room, Amber and I play.  She's
a silly dog and a totally devoted companion to Tracy.

I'm writing this in comment to your observation that "[Nat is] always
looking towards the ceiling."  I agree, it's unnerving watching
her do that.  I also agree that the writers don't have a clue as
to what to do with her - story line or otherwise.  I think this 
could have been a credible story line if the writers would have done
a little research on the subject of temporary or permenant blindness,
physical or hysterical.  Obviously, they have neither the funds nor
the fortitude to buy a clue!

ok ok, I'm folding up my flag and stepping down from my soap box!

Granma

ps  Tracy's neighbors in adjoining dorm rooms basically walk past
her as if she wasn't there.  I don't know if they are afraid of her
because she's blind, or if they're just stupid, but I do know that
they are missing out -- Tracy is a very intelligent young woman with
a great capacity for sharing.

I agree 100%!  I think there may be some interesting twists in this
storyline.  Since we know that Tad is not really Nora's son (as much
as you can "know" anything in a soap), will Tad (now part of the
Charlie/Haley p.i. business) help Nora find her real son?

Santa Claus is Coming to Town is my all time favorite Christmas special,

BTW, how long have you been watching AMC?
Long enough to remember Tad when he won
the Pine Valley Sexist Man Contest?
It was so amazing, there was David Rampal
(Jeremy's Son) Shirtless and muscular
doing kung fu moves and other good looking 
guys and Tad dressed in a suit.  He took
off his tie and danced around a little and
he won!  I think that was when Dixie got

Again, agreed...Wish I could remember Dave's scale for scoring
a show, but Loving has had several multi-tissue episodes
recently.  And, like Pat, I don't have a long history for the
nostolgic aspect.  The scenes are just very well done.

Well if Dix loses JR I can't imagine her

Although I like the chemistry between
Hayley and Brian and really don't want to see
him go. May be a new Brian in the works that
could be believable in a fight for Dixie????
