Hi all!

In Tuesday's episode of AMC, Erica shows a copy of the
National Intruder to Dimitri.  I thought you'd be 
interested in the headlines:

 * Enchanted Again! Go Back to Sleep Mrs. Marick
   (A Picture of Erica and Dimitri - In the SAME 
   Clothes they are wearing in this scene - is 
   above the headline!)

And here are the two other headlines I could make out
(thanks to the "pause" button and a clear tape... :)

 * Desk Clerk Resists Robbers with Club Sandwich

 * Using Your Psychic Powers to Make Better Meatloaf

Sounds a lot like a tabloid to me!  :)

Ok, something has been bothering me ever since I read about this storyline
regarding the demise of the Ickster.  The other day when I went to my
favorite doctors office, I realized what it was and asked him.  What I
asked him about was the symptoms of this cancer.  My specific questions was
"where is your pancreas and if it was cancerous, would you experience bad
back pains"?  Well........here's his response:  If a person suffering from
pancreas cancer was experiencing back pains, she would definitely be on her
last leg of the disease.  While very painful, she would not experience back
pain until the very end.  In other words, she would be close to or completely
bed ridden.  Gee, imagine that, she should be bed ridden alone (without John)
So, who is she doing a favor for by not taking the chemotherapy?  Surely not
John or Brady or anyone who cares about her.  Besides, she should have been
gone the week or so after she first experienced the back pains.

BTW, when I first asked my doctor this question, he thought I was the person
experiencing all of these pains.  I thought it was cute when he asked me
why I was asking I told him:  "oh, someone I know was just talking about some
symptoms and they didn't fit with what I thought they should be".  I mean, I
wasn't about to tell him it was in regards to a soap or something.  He thinks
I very intelectual and watch only the educational stuff that's on TV.

Well you guys, it's really been fun hanging out with you for the past couple of
weeks, but as of next Friday, I will no longer be able to enjoy your company.
My temporary assignment here at A.U. runs out, and unless it gets extended
(pray that it does) I won't have access to the network.  Well, that's not
entirely true - I may be able to lurk every once in a blue moon throuh the

next Thursday and Friday) and I'll be thrown to the wolves in search of a REAL
job.

was when Brooke's mom appeared.  I do remember that it was a weird story,
and her mom's relationship to her (Brooke) and Phoebe wasn't what it seemed
at first.  Can someone refresh my memory?  (Saturday I'm leaving for my

I could be totally wrong (its happened before) but I thought she was
the patient advocate thing before she was hospital administrator.  I
remember she and Ed had started dating or were just married when she
had the opportunity to become hospital administrator and they had a
little story line about people involved working together.  I thought
they made like it was a big promotion.  It was around the time when 
something was wrong with Ed's hand and he couldn't operate -- so he 
was chief of staff -- like he is now; but it was more administrative 
than what he does now.  Am I all screwed up?

The only problem is that I can't stand H2D2 and really don't want him
to be innocent after all this. So maybe he's a double agent (along with
CandyCane) and Hal and the Crime Commission think he's on their side
but he really is behind all the murders. Of course this would probably
add another year or two onto this already prolonged storyline.  All I know
is that I want him to be guilty!! He's already filled one prerequisite of
being a bad guy. He's slept with alot of women!! (just like James Stenbeck
and Tonio Reyes. Although he doesn't compare to those two because he can't
act his way out of a paper bag). What's really getting annoying about this
storyline is that they are taking so long to reveal things. Get on with it
already!!! Well thanks for letting me vent my frustrations.

with the hospital about Ruth's attitude!!!  Who does she think she is pulling
this in a hospital when people (when she knows Erica's upset) are upset trying
to deal with family crisis??  Poor Erica...  Soaps usually don't make me made, 
but this was ridiculous!!  If I were Erica, I would have slapped her.
