Well, it was a LITTLE more complex than that....   The taking of the
man's name at marriage originally signified that the husband actually
OWNED his wife, just like he owned his sheep, his cows, his pigs, and
his children.  As such, he could legally treat them in any fashion he
wished.  They (farm animals and wives) all had equal rights before
the law--that is to say, NO RIGHTS AT ALL!!!!!

Some couples have decided that one child will get the mother's and the other
child the father's.  Others have done it slightly differently,
with the last name of the one child being the mother's, and that
child's middle name being the father's last name, and vice versa.
Some couples have chosen a completely different last name.

It distresses me to see so many young women getting married and following
tradition with such sheep-like devotion, without questioning the origins of
the tradition and seriously deciding that they like that REASONING before
following the tradition. I worry for the survival of their sense of
self-identity in the long run.   Giving up the name you've had for 20+
years can be very traumatic, and can re-inforce a sense of subordination to
your husband's wants/wishes/desires over your own.  It also makes life
much more difficult if a divorce ever occurs, as you suddenly have no
credit history of your own, in spite of having worked for 25 years....

I'm not saying that no one should take on their husband's last name.  I
wouldn't want that any more than I would like being told that I HAD to
take my husband's last name.  I just want young women to stop and think
about it VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY before they take that step.

I'm sorry if this message has been posted twice but I've had problems on my

that LA Law is also a continuing drama and I feel it should be included 
on this newsgroup.  Does anyone else reading this watch the show?  I've just
started watching it and it is really a great show!

I feel that it should enjoy the same exposure as all of these other soaps.

AMC: Some interesting Soap Opera Weekly articles.

There is one article entitled "Critical Condition - Getting Away With
Murder". There's not much about AMC (actually only one paragraph, the
article is 7 paragraphs) but the picture is what caught my eye.
It is all the "suspects" in Will's murder. They are all in a group
shot with trench coats on :-) all making facial and hand expressions
as if to say "MOI???????" It's really funny/cute. From left to right
top row is Janet, Craig, Dixie, Gloria, Stephen, Trevor
next row center: Natalie, Adam, Erica (center stage!), Palmer, Opal
(who has sunglasses on); next row bottom is: Brian, Haley, and AnLi.

I wonder if it *IS* one of them, or if AMC will pull a fast one and
have it be no one in the picture! some of the text relating to AMC
reads "But murders do sometimes enhance soaps. Over the last few months,
AMC has grown positively electric (albeit a bit farfetched) providing
15 characters with motives for killing Will. Gloria's date rape!
Brian and Haley's impulsive marriage to others! Will's blackmailing
Craig over his affair with Gloria! They've even gotten Erica in on this.
I've been told (the article is by Marlene De Lacroix) the solution to
this particular case is locked away in Fort Knox. (Attention, press:
To arms!)." The article mentions that "we're faced with concurrent
murder mysteries on ABC time-slot neighbors, AMC: Who Killed Will
Cortlandt, and OLTL: Who Killed Carlo Hessler?"...

In Schedule of Events, Personal Appearances it lists:

AMC: 
Julia Barr, Walt Willey (mmmmm), and Andrew Jackson (Brooke, Jackson,
and Stephen) 
At Barr's Fan Club Luncheon, Sunday, April 26, at La Maganette, NY City,
Costs $50 which includes lunch, for Info call 212-734-3886, checks can
be sent to St. Laurent & Assoc. Inc. 1410 York Ave., Suite 4D, New

Will (yea right like he'll tell you :-))

Yes, as much as I like Crystal Chappell, I'm getting really sick of the
crap that the writers are giving her. And I don't know why this whole
baby shower had to be from Carly's point of view. Why haven't we once seen how
Iz and Jenn feel about being pregnant?  And those flashbacks!
Drop the flower, fall on the ground, cry on the nun, repeat.
Can't Iz (as much as I want her to drop off the face of the earth) 
have her little baby shower in peace without us having to worry
about how its affecting poor Carly?

>Today's DOOL topic: Motherhood.  Everyone there is either a

This is a very important topic and its too bad that whole thing
was an exuse for Carly to have those damn flashbacks.

Its strange.  It seems like he's going way overboard if he's just trying
to lull her into a false sense of security. He also seems like he's 
having too much fun.

If he's doing all this seduction and face-sucking in the name of law and
order, then he's a real tramp.  He's no better than stupid 
Kim (I have to stop -insert name - from killing Shane, I guess I'll
sleep with him) Brady.  He can certainly find other ways of convincing
her he trusts her than by messing around with her.

>BTW, Isabella is doing much better without John around.  Now if only
>she'll stop hollering "I love you" into the phone after John's hung up.

I can see how Iz would be okay if John weren't an influence in her life,
but just because he's in Switzerland doesn't mean she can't mope around
at home.  

I think she should loose all interest in John, get a haircut, and get
a life of her own.  She should get a new career while she's at it.
Maybe she should send for one of those correspondence courses that
Sally Struthers advertises on TV.  Maybe she could learn to be 
a medical/dental office. (You'd have to see the ads to get that)

This post has now been completely erased and has become a bashing of the

I have not replied to this article since I posted it and I wish someone

Blake's only real friend is Frank, that's true.  Speaking of which, I'd like
to see those two get together as a couple.  And, then, actually be happy, and
snub their happiness in Alan-Michael and Eleni's collective snoot!  :)

Anyway, she still however has Alan-Michael as an ally.  I'm not sure that
they're necessarily friends.  But, considering everything that Blake has 
done recently, Alan-Michael owes her a lot.  Granted, she's just doing it
to get close to him.  But, still, he owes her a lot of favors.  Let's just
hope that when Alan-Michael no longer needs her, if that time should happen
to come, that he doesn't just abandon her and act like he owes her nothing.

I also agree that a lot of what she did is sibling rivalry.  She's always
telling people, especially Alan-Michael, about how much attention Roger 
gives Hart instead of her, and how much she wants attention from Roger.
I suppose she has it now, but not in the way she wants it.  I feel sorry
for Blake, because she wants all this love, but for some reason, be it her
fault or somebody else, she doesn't get it.

         Yes.

         Linda Dano has left Attitudes because the producers were
         changing the show too much. 

         It was supposed to be just a chatty, warm show, and they were
         turning it into another Sally Jessee Raphael, or Oprah.  All

Now who among you thought for a microsecond that
I could pass up something like this? :-)
    I loved Nick.  He was my favorire character.
He was funny, had an interesting personality (I loved
all the old movie references--I would've liked
to have seen some scenes with him and Jack going off
on tangents) he was romantic, debonair, classy, like
a character in an old movie, Bogie or Cary Grant--the
rogue who is reformed through his love for a woman.  He
had some really good scenes with April (like when they danced
at Wings, his Thanksgiving Manhattan fantasy...) but then
they destroyed April character by having her sleaze
around with Mike and Johnny.  They had real potential.
He also had some really good scenes with Eve (the kiss on the 
docks, etc).  I guess what I liked best about Nick was
George Jenesky.  He took a cardboard bad guy character
and made him someone I could care about...someone who was
caring and vulnerable, who was unpredictable and funny.  
Like what Matt Ashford did with Jack.  *sniff*  I
miss him still *sniff*  I think I'll go off and watch
some old tapes.  *sniff*  I wanna move to Australia
or New Zealand (or make enough money to get PAL/NTSC
or whatever its called conversion equipment and and pen pal
down under who'll tape stuff for me)  *lonely snifle*  
*WAAAAH!*
     Oh, and he was good looking too!  And he did so
have morals.  He never one made a pass at the Ape (they
slept in the same bed one, and both were very uncomfortable
with the situation.)  And he put off Eve for 3 years!
Now if that man wasn't a gentleman, I'll eat my hat (except
I don't have one.  But you get my point)

TTFN (and some of my good buddies had better jump
in here too, or I'll..I'll, well, I don't know what
I'll do...probably nothing.  This would get posted
while Vic's off in sunny Ca.  Someone FedEx a copy
of this to her, willya?  I know she'll have an opinion.
Like that's a big surprise)

This is why they always make love on the couch.
The producers are just too cheap to make another set.
They only allow one room per house, except for the Abott 
house.
