     Depends on what you mean by look good?  My tree isn't symmetrical
or color coordinated.  I'd have to say it's eclectic.  But *I* think
it's pretty good.  Most of the ornaments have some kind of history, or
at least personalization.  I like that in a tree.

     (Of course, if you saw the tree (as Nancy, Barb, and Judi will
tomorrow), and saw all the CAT ornaments, you would KNOW who the tree
belong to.)

     read rec.pets.cats.  There's usually a thread there about this
time of year.

     ONE idea is to put a hook on the wall and tie the tree to the
hook. At least then it can be pulled down as easily.

     OH -- one that won't work for KIDS but I thought it was great for
CATS - put the (dreaded) vacuum cleaner next to the tree.

I remember when Susan Lucci was pregnant with her second child. Erica was a 
model in New York at the time and having an affair with a married man. Sound
familiar? I remeber she kept standing behind chairs and carrying enormous 
things kind of like when the mother was pregnant in real life on the Cosby
show. Anyone else remember this?

When I first read this it seemed  like a normal thing to do, but after
thinking about it I realized that AC isn't a veteran.  He isn't even in
the Service.   He does, however, behave much like our sterotypical idea
of the 'Angry Vietnam Veteran'. 

I predict another 'Phillip-Beth-Finding-our-Love-in-NY' romp for H & AC
that ends at a nostalgic look at the Memorial where Mallot says
something sappy like:
 "These men and women left their families to go half way around the
world to fight a war that some said was immoral.  They gave their
Liiiives, for their country, Hurrlly! I'm just a cop who can't walk,
lost his hearing for a while, and may not be able to reproduce.  HOW
COULD I HAVE BEEN SUCH A JERK!!!!" 
Then they'll hug, and he'll ask her to marry him and adopt some Cambrey
babies.  Geez!

Now, I hope I have not offended all of you vets and adoptive parents.  I
think my senerio would be very sweet if it happened to any other couple
in Springfield. ( Say Ed & Mo ) But AC has been riding on my nerves for
about a year now, and the last thing I want to hear him barking about is
Vietnam.

Went to #1 in 1982, bumping "Ebony and Ivory" out of the top spot.

The Human League have also hit with "Fascination" (#8), which started
all this, "Mirror Man" (#25, approx.), and "Human" (#1).  They have 
a greatest hits set available, if you're interested.  :)

Ok, here's my input on what/who I find sexy on DOOL (in no particular
order):

Jack: He has gorgeous eyes, they twinkle!  But for the most part, it's 
      the personality, the quirky romantic streak (the many different
      proposals, etc.) and the sense of humour.  Very big items, those.

Tony: Ah, those dark, exotic looks.  Sigh.  I even watched SB for a
      while since he was on it.  And the accent.  I'm a sucker for an 
      accent of any kind.  (Think Jaime Lee Curtis to Kevin Kline in 
      "A Fish Called Wanda" - say something in Italian.  Rigatoni, 
      parmigiana, ...  Swoon.) 

Ivan: His nose is too sharp, but there's *something* about him.  Maybe
      the way he dresses.  Oh, yeah, and the accent.  The accent.

John: I've only recently added him to the list.  Always thought he
      was good looking, but never was on the edge of the couch during
      love scenes.  I can't pinpoint exactly why he suddenly became
      sexy - maybe it's all those scenes with Brady.  I'm also a sucker
      for a guy who loves kids.  And I thought he looked great with 
      the stubble the past few days.

That's about all I can think of for the moment.  I don't like the
people that they "set up" to be sexy, like Austin or Hawk or any of
those pretty boy types.  They seem too average to me, plus they have
no personality.

Hi Rosita Guavita,

Good question:  Who DO I find sexy on DOOL?  (I've got to count past
and present, or it'll be a short list!)

Jack--his mind and his blue eyes.  I love Jack's often rapier wit,
his intelligence (hey, he knew what lares were!), his one-time sense
of power, his sense of truth (at one time, he could have been Salem's
truthsayer, in the sense that he didn't pull punches and always seemed
to know what people thought.  You couldn't pull the wool over Jack's
eyes.)  Finally, I like the fact he is sometimes self-centered,
stubborn and manipulative.  Jack is multi-faceted and often surprising.

Nick--another multi-faceted character.  I liked his cynical wit, his
style and his love of Bogart.  (Plus he had great facial structure)

Doug--a con man who could sing his way into a woman's heart.  What I
loved about Doug (pre-Hope when they changed him into a fuddy duddy)
was you were never sure what he would do.  He also had great style.
(And beautiful blue eyes)

Alex Marshall--weird, I know.  But I loved him early on when he was
paired with Anna.  They were funny and sexy.  I liked (I am being
redundant, I know) his wit and style.

As to the ladies...
Julie--her obvious physical beauty, her wit, style, charm and
intelligence.  And she's the best dressed woman in Salem.  She and
Doug were probably the sexiest couple DOOL ever had (real life spilling
over, I know).  And she and Jack are wonderful when they let loose
their literary or artistic allusions.

Anna--style, charm, a sense of humor.  And she's beautiful.

Hope--her incredible beauty and strength of character.

Those are my top choices, but that's not to say other characters aren't
good.  I've always loved Abe.  Bill was sexy when paired with Laura (as
played by Flannery) and Don Craig was a real charmer in his time.
I know my choices would not be everyone's.  But like Rose said, TPTB
seem to think muscle-bound airheads like Asstin or Emilio are sexy.
I go for wit and intelligence first and foremost.  But then maybe
that's why I'm not one of TPTB (or maybe that's why DOCL is #8!)

Hi everyone, 

Yet another former lurker!!
And I will also admit to reading The Star every week...
for the crosswords, of course!!

Anyway, The Star has this to say about AMC this week:
(Spoiler Ahead)





















Adam will win custody of Junior. Junior, upon hearing the news, will run  
away. He'll go to the park, where he'll meet Tadski.

Enjoy!!!
