Forever???  :)  Surprise...I've got things to add as well.  Oh, and hi 
everybody...I was out sick for a few days last week and nearly died 
without RATS.  Isn't that just pathetic?  :)  I even resorted to the
telephone in order to have some sort of contact with the DOOLers.  It's
a very sad state of affairs, I must admit.  Sigh...

Okay...so I'm home on Friday and switch the TV over to General Hospital 
for the last couple of minutes to catch up on the goings ons and who do
I see?  Lynn Herring!!  One week, folks!  That's all it took for her to
be back on GH.  I'm happy for her but sad for DOOL -- they sure did miss
out on a great thing.  I still don't like the idea of Nikki killing 
Lisanne but am not as upset with the story as I thought I'd be.  It's 
being handled pretty well.  Surprise...surprise.

And Marlena's comeback:  "No I didn't...I'm quite impressed.  How do you 
say in French, 'put the gun away'?"  I *loved* it.  Very witty.  I was
nearly rolling on the floor.

It is good and I must confess that I'm even beginning to enjoy the Kim 
storyline now that she's not being such a slut.  The way Phillip is 
handling things is quite interesting and kind of spooky.  I don't think 
it's quite believable but it's still pretty good.

>That's all.

Yeah...sure.
