     Yeah, I was kind of wondering about that.  And he questioned Viv and
searched Lisanne's room?  Isn't he supposed to be a rookie beat cop?  Or is
he the head of the vice squad now?  And is he aware that there's  a homocide
squad, and he ain't part of it?  Oops, I forgot.  This is Salem.  There's only
4 cops in the whole town.  But in real life, couldn't Viv press harassment
charges?  And wouldn't he probably get a reprimand at the very least?  He is
such an annoying arrogant jackass.  A perfect match for her royal highness.

Ha!  I noticed that too!  Are you writhing in agony yet Vix?  That's one
none of us ever thought of!  Buy, talk about sinking to major depths.  Whew!
Hee heee...I'm sure Vix is chewing on a pillow down there, going into serious
denial, curled up in a little ball in front of the tv.  Heee heee.  Oh well, 
I know, I sure can't talk :-)

     But they haven't been shown to be all that close lately (Jenn and Carly
that is).  When was the last time they did anything?  We never see Bo and Carly
and Jack and Jen doing stuff together, even having dinner or talking.  It
seems to me that a godparent should be chosedn on the basis of who you are
close to currently, nit who you were close to as a child.  It's a big 
responsibility.

     I thought she did good too.  And the way Stella was analyzing her, 
talking about her need for control.  It was good.  Too bad they're
getting rid of Stella and keeping the 90210 crowd.  (Of course, sisn't
the spoilers say she gets *hit* by a truck?  Maybe she'll live?  And in
prison she'll meet up with Raffi Torres, who was also a decent actor....
yeah, I like it!)

     Hey, it's not unusual around here!  And it's always great to get new
people involved, get new ideas going etc.  Stick around!
