I think Diana must have taken advantage of your sleep-deprivation and 
posessed you.  :-)

Again, if what you describe is all there is to it, then you win.... she
was fired.

Ok, you are really missing my point.  I agree w/ all you are saying about
Kayla being worthy on her own.  When I do my polls I give her points and
I'd put her in my top ten list at any given time.  I like Kayla and couldn't
agree more that she is a FANTASTIC character, and actress.  What I was 
responding to here was your quote of Sheri Anderson about Kayla not being
able to stay because she would need too much time.  That was never said 
about Kayla, it was said about Steve and Kayla.  That is all.

That was a good one, but I didn't know we were applying horse jokes to 
Mary Beth now too.  Not that I'd jump on that haywagon and knock Mary Beth
after she was put out to pasture.  Nope, not me.

I'll have to conduct a seminar.  So far I've got you and Rick, anyone else?
