Well, you're a busy kinda gal, so we're glad you showed up. Better late then
never! :-)

Yea, Lori! Ditto! Glad you and Anthony are officially hooked up now. II was
going to comment on Ann's comment about the 30 second outfit, but sometimes
things are left best alone :-)

I agree with all you've said. I am glad yall noticed about the "blondes"; It
didn't actually enter my mind, Katie Kennicott was brunette, she's gone.
Emily Ann was brunette, she's gone. The first Dixie was "blonder", this
one is more auburn, Barbara was a brunette, she's gone, Travis was a brunette,
he's gone. What other brunette's are gone? No competition in Erica's dept!

Yea, Helmers, don't hold your breath darlin'. It could take til next
January! It wouldn't surprise me. Erica's got to "hate" him first for
while :-) Speaking of that, I MISSED Friday's show - I lost electricity!
I'm waiting desperately for an update, what happened? Last I remember about
Erica, she was going to try to "charm" Dimitri into gaining back control of
Enchantment. Did that happen yet? I still do not understand how even with
49% of her stock, how she could still not have major control of Enchantment.
I know she wouldn't have majority, but shit she still has a huge part...

You're so astute :-) And I also don't want to see it dragged out forever.
But we probably should not complain, we have asked for a murder mystery
and they have given us one. Did anyone else notice (I know its just 
theories and ideas) in Mimi, Derek's and the Chief's theories, they
"saw" possible suspects having conversations with Will, right? Well, in
the way we saw it, NO ONE had any conversation with Will, they just
came up and clunked him! Do you think they could "insert" some conversation
that we did not SEE? What I mean is, I would only suspect those who have
no conversation, since that is the info they gave me. IF the character,
had a conversation with Will prior to the murder, then I would rule that
character out, because I *saw* no conversation. Do you think I can assume
that their could have been a conversation prior to the murder, or did the
person JUST kill him.?  What do you all think about that?

I agree with YOU Ann. I am sure that An Li and Brian did it twice. I can
remember two times An Li saying how happy she is that they were together.
The girl's a little slut :-) Halo NOT is going to be happy about this -
NOT. And she's got to be pregnant. Like we said if Halo does it too before
she finds out he did it with An Li she could be pregnant too. That would
be kind of wild. While  Brian is serving a life sentence for murder, til
the real murderer's found out. :-)

You are right again! Cause its in the script :-)

Yes, right! You better! Whew I better go too. I actually do not believe
I had about 4 minutes to think about all this!

I can understand that :-)
