I hope that real life isn't as close to the soaps when it comes
to infidelities.  But who am I fooling???

I don't think I'm a prude - I just care about myself.   If I thought
my partner was going around kissing (flirting to a certain extent
is harmless) other people, it would definitely signal to me that
something was wrong.   I'd want to find out what and see to it that
the behavior stopped or move on.  Times are too dangerous these
days and if you give respect you should get it in return.

Anyone else out there notice the stupid music they always play
whenever Erica and Dimwit are together? I swear it's driving me
nuts! I notice myself clenching my teeth now whenever it plays.

Also, here's another thing that I found to be really stupid. When Brook
and Edmund went to the lodge it seems that they just walked in (unless
I missed something...). They leave and then Dimwit shows up to meet 
Erica. Well, when he showed up I noticed he UNLOCKED the deadbolt on 
the front door of the lodge! If that's the case, how did Edmund and 
Brook get in? Does he STILL have the keys from his childhood home? 
I know, IOAS.

I have thought the same thing!!  I haven't seen an explanation for
the illness, either - maybe we both missed it!

However, I did see one day that the General went to visit a local
doctor.  The reason for his visit, he said, was simply to keep
someone in Llanview informed of his condition.  When the doctor
wanted to examine Sloan, thinking he would want a second opinion on
the diagnosis, Sloan refused, saying it would do no good, that he
was definitely dying and that nothing could be done about it.

It would seem that if someone was told that they had a terminal
condition, they would want second opinions, and to see different
doctors - maybe one doctor would have some kind of new treatment 
to recommend.  

But the way he would not let himself be examined led me to believe
that maybe he was indeed dying of AIDS and did not want anyone, even
a doctor, to find out.

Was his illness ever explained???

As far as Jack goes I can't wait to see where he says he was - or do we
see an amnesia story coming on?

I've come to the conclusion that all the happenings

Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but I think it becomes official AFTER

BaByDoLl, the Great and Powerful Nickname Generator, is currently

"do" nicknames, I only mention it in case there should be some delay
in your getting one.  Did you give us any info. about yourself 
other than Tales of the Pill Cart?  A little bit of a bio. helps

Here's some up-and-coming DOOL spoilers that I got from my forever-to-be-
unnamed-source:

<PatentedLineFeed(tm)>




























That should be enough.


Well, here goes...

In early September, we find out about Jesse and Dean Lombard's natural 
father.  It turns out to be an all-too-famous Greek tycoon we know and
love/hate.  Jesse bonds with the rest of his half-brothers and sisters
(i.e. the rest of Salem).

Hawk comes back for an episode, only to be mysteriously killed.  The
entire city of Salem mourns and begins to hunt for the dastardly murderer, 
only to come to its collective senses and hold a gala bash, the highlight of
the season.

Carrie and John start hitting it off after Isabella's untimely death, after
they come to the belated realization that they're not blood relatives.
Watch for some steamy love scenes as they console each other over Hawk's
grisly demise.

Rob Stemkowski comes back for good, but recast yet again.  This time, he's a 
black woman.  Watch he/she hit it off with both Abe and Lexie.

Tom Horton retires, and John Black funds his greatest dream -- to be a lounge
singer.  He begins his new job (Happy Hour at Brady's Pub) to a standing-
room only audience.  Alice is not pleased and schemes to get her husband
back.

Jack and Jenn name the kid Nicholas Michael Deveraux, in order to confuse 
everyone even more with 2 live Nick(y)'s and one dead one around.  No one
finds it particularly funny, but the name sticks.  Jenn gets laryngitis.

Marlena joins the police force, and enrolls in the Academy, with Kimberly 
and the newly-returned Chip not far behind.  Roman gets fired to make way
for the newcomers.  Watch for "Hazel" to become regular comic relief.

And, lastly, Carly and Bo get a long-awaited front-burner storyline.

Enjoy!

JoJo

I agree!  I was also one of the optimistic-Sheri's-gonna-save-the-days
people.  But I noticed that it really doesn't matter if I watch or not -
NOTHING's happening.  As I read Greg's spoilers yesterday (thanks Greg -
it's not your fault if they're boring! :-)) I kept saying 'who cares' or
'so what' - there wasn't one item that I was looking forward to or said
"oh wow - that's a surprise!".   Maybe it's just a lull - so why am I
bored right out of my skull (Thanks to the Replacements!)...but I hope
it picks up....I still have hope but I really am bored right now.

And to make matters worse - I taped GH yesterday (I watch occasionally
since I've watched it also from day one...-no old jokes, JoJo!)...to
catch John Stamos who used to play Blackie and is now on "Full House"
with the original Carrie -(Andrea Barber)....and to see what was
happening. Well, it was great!  Fresh and alive (I believe that's how
Sis Kix put it)...our old Anjelica (Jane Eliot) plays Tracy - and she is
spectacular!  And our old Justin (Wallace Kurth who plays Tracy's son,
Ned) is great too!  Kin Shriner was hysterical and except for FFing
through the "teen scenes" - I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Like others have
said, if Kristian Alfonso and Mary Beth Evans go to GH - so will I.  I
haven't enjoyed DOOL like that since Dani left.

BTW, Spud called last night. She's enjoying her trip and said that
she'll be posting her "Let's knock off Icky" scenario soon.  

Sorry to go off on these tangents...and not put TAN in the header but I
gotta get a lot done before I leave on vaca tomorrow!!!
