You're right, Linda.  My mother used to watch AMC all the time after she left
work on disability.  She talked me into watching again several years ago when
she and my sister would discuss "Tad."  Since Tad climbed into that truck she
has only watched occasionally, and rarely since my father retired and watched
ESPN after lunch.  But, I told her a few weeks ago that Tad was coming back,
and now she gets upset if anything interrupts her AMC.  Maybe while I'm home
for Christmas, I can teach her how to program the VCR for emergencies.

I thought I would never get a chance to post again.

Hi everybody!!  First off, I am so glad that Tad/Ted
is back.

Second, I want to take this time to wish each of you
the best for the holidays.

I think it is the shades of red that they use.  I have
red hair (not naturally) and I love it but I've been
dying my hair for years and it has taken my hair dresser
a long time to find the right red.  I like Dixie's color
on her but I really don't like Angel's color.  I thought
that it made her look really old.


Good to be back,
**Krista**

If you haven't seen Wednesday's show yet and absolutely hate reading anything
about a show until you've seen it, you may want to stop reading right now...




First, let me reiterate my initial idea that RollsRoyce is in fact Juicy's
long lost half-brother, and that the woman he's been talking to on the 
phone, Cynthia, is his sister and Juicy's half-sister.  Yesterday's scenes
leave me more convinced than ever.

We know from past flashbacks of Juicy, that her mother and father divorced,
and she remarried to a man Juicy hated. I seem to recall that this step
father of Juicy's was abusive to her mother (I could be wrong about that,
but that's what I remember). I also got the impression (it was never stated
outright) that this man molested Juicy. 

Now, remember during Wednesday's show, when Rolls and Easily were on the 
floor getting amorous, and Easily stopped him saying "Ouch, Royce you're 
hurting me!!".  He stopped and apologized and then they continued.  This 
scene was put in there for a purpose. Rolls didn't even realize he was 
being rough with her. I think Rolls witnessed his father abusing his mother,
and perhaps was even abused himself. 

They made a point of Easily commenting about how perfect Rolls' house was,
everything in its proper place. Perhaps, Rolls' father insisted that 
everything be perfect at home, and if it wasn't, he got abusive with his 
mother or Rolls or Cynthia. If that were the case, then a kid would learn 
pretty quickly to clean his room to avoid a beating.

Then, toward the end of the show, while Easily was out of room, Rolls picked
up an ornament off the tree and was staring at it while he remembered telling
Easily about when he was little and his father would wait until he could get
the best deal on a Christmas tree, but how he hated pine needles on the floor
so insisted that they would never get a real tree again. It wasn't so much
what he was saying, because the words themselves were pretty innocent. When
he told it to Easily, it sounded like a nice happy memory, but when he was
thinking them later, his tone of voice sounded different, like there was
more to it. Then to top it off, he dropped the ornament and it shattered.
How symbolic!! Right after that, he went to the phone and called Cynthia 
saying that since Christmas was coming up soon, they should spend some time
together. This made me more certain that Cynthia was his sister. He went 
right from thinking about his father to calling Cynthia!!!

Now am I completely off the wall on this?? Does anyone else think that this
scenario has definite possibilities?? Or are the writers going to make a
liar out of me??

Oh well!! Just thought I'd put my ideas out there. You can all make fun of
me later if I'm wrong!

My two cents,
Irish

Ok, here is my list of the sexist men on DOOL!

Steve J: I don't know what it was about him, maybe his laugh
	or his smile, but whatever it was, I found him totally
	irrestible!

Drake:	Roman, John, Forrest, the Pawn, whoever he may be, he
	has always evoked that "lust" feeling from me.  I think
	it is his laugh and his eyes and now it is the way
	he is with Brady (what a wonderful dad).	

Jack: 	Is gorgeous, with his distinct features, and his wonderful
	sense of humor (on and off stage)

Lawrence:	No explanation needed if you ask me (at least not
	when he is with Carly, talking about Carly, thinking about
	Carly)

Orpheous:	Now there is one sexy man, gorgeous and his
	voice...wow!

Sickest men on DOOL:

Asstin:	At first I thought he was kind of cute, but the more
	I watched the more he just exuded sickness.  He gives
	me the heebie jeebies!

Bo:	I just hate him.  To me is a very poor actor, especially
	when he puts on his anger/hurt act.  His poor acting
	is what really turns me off.

Another thing about Bo, yesterday, we watched him drink at
least 5 shots (probably a whole lot more) and he didn't
even seem the slightest bit drunk!  I hated the way he was
banging on that stupid video game!  AUghh!

Well, I got to try and get some work done this morning.

thing flitted through my head so I thought that I would share it with
all of you...

Top 10 Reasons that People Leave Yuckdale

10.  You don't remember your family, and you think they're all really
weird mutants.

9.  You just can't stand living in the same hemisphere as the unbearably
self-righteous Kim Hughes

8.  You are an even bigger weenie than Anus at his worst.

7.  You just found out that Sleaza is your mother.  (YIKES!!!)

6.  You think that you might die if you are forced to drink one more
cup of SnyderCider--the only way to escape it is to move away from
LuthersCorners.

5.  You want to live someplace where everybody knows who their
parents are.

4.  Everybody in town hates you so much that you would probably get
murdered if you didn't leave.

3.  You were about to tell Chilly the truth about Aaron but instead
decided to go on a six-month trek in the Himalayas.

2.  You've already slept with every member of the opposite sex that 
you aren't related to.

1.  TO JUST GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!!


At any rate...hasta la pasta, y'all.

Makes sense.  Tim had asked me if I would mind being called "Mrs. Matthew
Kasson".  Personally at this point it wouldn't bother me, probably because
the novelty of being married in the first place hasn't worn off.  But
then again when referring to myself, it is always Doreen Kasson.  I
understand your point and definitely respect your choices.

  Why is it that it's so impossible for you to think that I

  Look, do the math, Lilly.  You subtract any idea in your
