Yes, it happened on Monday.  I don't think Isabelle can FORCE Cooper to
marry her, put I think it sure will put a strain on his relationship

Well shoot, that would make a heck of a TAN anyway, don't ya think? :)

And while I'm here...[Ricky Ricardo voice ON] Can somebody 'splain me
something:  how in the WORLD can a house seller accept *TWO* offers on the same
house????!!!  We have bought and sold houses and I have never heard of this. 
(Re. the undercover real estate sting w/Brooke, Edmund, Livia, Lucas, etc.
etc.)

The only thing my husband suggested is that maybe AMC is playing fast and loose
with the concepts of a bid vs. a contract.  I mean, as far as I've ever seen
only one bid for a house is accepted.  That means all others are automatically
rejected.  How could the folks at "Whitewood" (boy, is that some subtle irony
there boys and girls?) accept both offers?

Gee, if he thinks 91 sucked, what would he think of 92?

Honestly though, I can see what he is talking about. I mean, if he was
stll in Port Chuck, the art heist would have never happened, because he
would have thwarted it. Felicia would never be in the jam she is in
because he would have solved it in two weeks. All he ever did was solve
crimes and stuff. Once he got married to Anna, there wasn't much for him

This demonstrates the difference between Palmer and Adam.  Palmer can
be reasoned with, although it sometimes takes a bit of work (e.g. Will).
In this same situation, Adam would have called a hospital board meeting and
gotten Ruth fired, sued (and gotten) custody of Bobby (on grounds of severe
neglect :-), and held a perpetual and obsessive "I'll ruin her" grudge
against Ruth.

I am too nice of a guy to suggest some of the possibilities, but since we

to deprive yourself, so you are getting married.  Congratulations!

Hello all,

Here I am on vacation, and I can't stay away from the net
for more than 5 days...kind of scary!!!  :-)

Just a couple things:

I will be doing last Mondays update tomorrow, but one little
warning, the update will be somewhat short (ie the middle 20
minute will not be appearing) as my local NBC station decided
that it was more important to tell us of the news about
the firing of Bronco's head coach, Dan Reeves...so alas I missed
out on a lot of Carlips reactions to the return of Nikki.

So anyway, hope you all had a Merry Christmas and all that 
and will have a great New Year.  

Adios,

Pickle

Me too, me too! I was lolling on the couch trying to cover up my tears
when NewNat got her sight back by shouting out derisory and snarky
comments about the convenience of it all, but I didn't fool anyone,
particularly my SO, Eric, who is off on his holidays and couldn't
believe I was actually weeping at a soap.(I don't know why this really
surprised him, actually, since I cry at everything, including really
good commercials, like the British Air one where everybody forms a
globe and a face that winks at the end...) I thought the scene with
Dixie and Junior was very well done and it is the first time I've
really liked Dixie for a while. Eric got a big huge laugh out of the
whole thing, reminding me a million times that IOAS.

Well, I think its a bit weird, but than I suspect to many people a Nativity
scene is just another type of Christmas decoration (like Santa) and has no
other significance ... thus, no problem.

I personally like the blue "Hanukkah" look in decorations, even though I'm
not Jewish.

Yeah, I first thought that when he came back on the show (myself being 
about Ripa's age, which is the sole basis of my speaking for her :) ).
Now, though, I'm really warming up to him, and I think Ripa really likes
working with him as well.  I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad.  I definitely 
have learned better, by the way, from Pat on r.a.t.s not to judge people 
by their ages anyway, and I think she's right, it really shoudn't matter
how old Charlie is, as long as he's helping Hayley through what she's 
dealing with.

Well, I can't imagine who, except maybe Derek or Tad.  One thing I know for

together again.  They're definitely up there with Livia and Tom as one of the

Boy, was he ever!  He will alawys be, in my mind, Will Cooney/Cortlandt.
I just loved it that time he went after Adam with a bull-whip when he found 
out Adam had "deflowered" his sister!
 
I was SOOOOOOOO upset when they replaced him with Patrick Stuart!  
(Although P.S. was a lot easier to picture as the "mad & crazy" Will).

Maybe they can bring back Quinn as Dixie's long lost OTHER brother!

Unequivocally YES!!!! The pinheads at ABC need to hear from us. Can
someone explain the logic behind it all? I mean, do they think that
everyone that is sitting at home watching their soaps, really gives a flip
about the Clinton transition? If I want to know whats going on, I'll read

I think it might go this way:

Tad stays out of sight with Edmund at the Court House, The people exit
the courtroom after the decision, in Adam's favor of course.

Opal, already depressed at the verdict then sees Tad lurking in the hallway,
She screams, immediately goes into labor, everybody will be concerned with 
Opal, nobody will even bother to turn around to look at Tad.

On Tad's end he will have a strong recollection of Opal, and this will cause
him to stay at Weirdwind thought the holidays...

Just a thought...

I am surprised by this.  I thought the story line was really
unrealistic, with the pro-gay characters being 100% sympathetic, and the
anti-gay characters acting like brutes.

I hope society does not view all people who disagree with a gay
life-style as "brutes".
