Another friend of mine that is an att person commented on the same
thing.

Of course, I think Galen should do a few things here

1)  Get a LOUD whistle to keep next to the phone
2)  Let Steven move in - at least for a while, to give dear Carter the
    impression that SOMEONE is keeping track of her.
3)  Take a self-defense course and Galen "kneecapster" Henderson.  He
    gets too close she can break his kneecaps.

AND let's face it, while at this point in time the law (if they don't
have a stalker law) might not be able to do anything to protect Galen
if Galen hurt Carter in "self-defense" even if he SAID that she threw
the first punch (or foot) how could he PROVE that she did.  You're on
a jury, a man that's spent time in prison after rearranging his wife's
body is trying to sue his ex-wife for breaking his knee caps.  His ex
is crying self-defense.  She's a model of the community and an
Assistant District Attorney.

Who would YOU believe.

I just hope they don't drag out this storyline too long.

     I think she does - she's a pretty smart cookie.  And she may
agree with the way that Jack assessed the situation - no blood no foul
and if the thing is over quickly then she'll forgive and forget.

I keep waiting for credits that list him - I'm wondering what his last
name is :^).  I think there might be some nepotism here.

     Ummm, wouldn't his LAWYER have a copy.  Maybe it was something
that was just pushed aside until Edmund appeared and sort of
forgotten???  I keep thinking that SOMEHOW Jack will have something to
do with this.

     I use to post my "quote of the week" a LONG time ago.  Probably
over a year ago.  I discovered that some weeks there were too many
good lines to pick only one, and some weeks there wasn't ANYTHING.
But I guess sometimes there are good lines -- here's one from my
fortune cookie file

AH HA -- but Stuart saw the tape and if you want to know the REAL
reason that he became interested in her :^) :^)

     First, Adam has done this a few times (played Stuart for some
reason). I'm sort of wondering if Gloria already KNOWS - maybe that's
why she quizzed him on the composer and did all that talking about
ADAM.
