	Hopefully what happened to Jack <sniffle, sniffle> will happen to
	Stella.  ie.  she will disappear.

	I think Jack must have his house completely renovated by now!

	Did anyone else find it odd in yesterday's show that Carly didn't
	even ask about Jennifer??  Even though Alice has just spent the
	last few weeks visiting her, she's pregnant, doing a new show, and
	in New York all my herself.  Actually I didn't find it odd, Carly
	never acts concerned for Jennifer when Jennifer isn't in the same
	scene with her.

	I agree 110% here Coleen.  I don't know, but if I lived in Salem I
	definitely wouldn't patronize Salem University Hospital or any of
	those doctors (Marcus included).  They either can't find out what
	is the matter with you (ie. Jack, Kim) or they let you die (ie. the
	Lombard kid) while working desperately to save a loved one.

	Not only that,  but any hospital that doesn't carry up to date
	insurance and can face the possibility of going under with just ONE
	lawsuit isn't my idea of a very well run business.  And let's face
	it,  hospital's are businesses.

	And I won't even go into every one laughing at Jack when he was
	feeling miserable.  Coleen you said it all!

	Yes,  I nearly lost my lunch (ok lunch and dinner) when I read this
	glowing article on CC.

	Hey,  I couldn't delete this!!  Well,  Logan raised himself up a
	little (after digging his hole so deep with the CC stuff) for
	choosing Matt. Of course,  he didn't use any of his own stuff, just
	quoted Henry!
