It also doesn't help when there are a large number of markets who just
don't bother to air the show, as is the case with Santa Barbara.  Can't
get much of a rating where you're not broadcast.

you keep on talking about teleport and transporter room, i always
wonder how their can go from point A to point B so fast! now, thanx
to you, i know. i did think, at some point, that all of geneo city was in
the same building and were using the elevator to go from place to

Ok, Karen, I'll take a shot at this one.

Joe's daughter Tara was in love with Ruth's son Philip Brent.
They 'married' themselves just before he went to Viet Nam.
Then Tara married Chuck Tyler (Phoebe's grandson) because
she was pregnant, which is how he got the name Charlie...
Then Phil came back from the war (with a new face and build),
it came out that Charlie was really Phil's son, and he took
his dad's last name.

So...He really *is* Joe & Ruth's grandson and is Phoebe's
step-greatgrandson.  I used to love the look on her face when
he'd call her 'Great-Grandmother':-)

*whew* that was a long time ago...hope I got it right.

TV - Rating the Summer Teens

SB:  Now let me get this straight.  SB is in big Nielsen trouble, right?
So it shoves its legendary, linchpin family (the Capwells) and its most
popular couple (Mason and Julia, played by Gordon Thomson and Nancy
Grahn) waaaay into the background while seven (count'em seven!) brand-new
underwhelming kids take over the front burner.  Not exactly our idea
of a smart survival plan.  But at least this proves that M*A*S*H was
wrong:  suicide can be very painful - especially for the audience.
Score 2, Audacity: 10.

Hi!  I am sorry for not having been on in a while, but many things have
been happening.  My last week of work, last week (summer student) was
hectic, and the newsfeed went out until Friday, so I couldn't catch up
at all.  I believe I sent out last Monday's update before the feed went
out, but someone let me know if this is not the case.  I was also moving
this weekend to the new dorm room, and had to paint and such, and
accidently plugged the VCR into a plug which, unknown by me, turned off
with the light switch, thus screwing up my Monday taping, so if someone
else can post a quick Monday update, I would appreciate it.  I have to
catch up now, as well as catch up with real campus activities, so will
post later.

Plus, they were a handy hideout place when Brooke left PV to get away from

Anne was Phoebe's daughter.  Who was she married to again?  Didn't

Well I think Gina has to be the BEST comedieann bitch of all time. Now this is
only true since Robin Matson took over the role. The first Gina was a whiny lit
tle bitch who got on my last nerve. But Gina is great, the best funniest plot
had to be anything with Keith (justin deas) and Gina. I wish Justin Deas would
come back. The actor they had playing Keith a few years ago was too stiff to pl

What I know is this on this subject (first when I was over in rec.cats.
i notice they can get into flames about inside/oustide. I am like Trish,
I do not let my cat outside at all. The one time I did, just in the 
backyard, she got a terrible case of fleas, and as I mentioned, I even
got (not literally) thrown out of the house I lived in because of it.
It wasn't fun. I know there are lots of cats outside that I see, and
I cannot control it, but i know the risk of their living decreases by
a lot. Between diseases that can be caught, and cars that can kill them.
I won't say more on this.I did not de-claw my cat. She has (tho I love
her dearly) practically destroyed the bottom of my couch, clawing it,
she also claws at the wood on both my doors and cabinets, tho they
are not as bad as the couch. I adopted her tho and she was not a kitten
when I did. I didn't realize she was so bad until about a year or more
afterwards. She was probably 4 then. I think that was too late to de-claw
(tho I would check on this). I think if they are kittens or cats under
two years it wouldn't hurt as much tho I don't know for sure! I recommend
doing this as early in life as possible. If they are allowed out tho,
*they have no protection against other cats* except biting, my SO had
his cat declawed, and fixed, I believe for $70 and he stays in the house.
The cat is FINE now. At first he was quiet and not as playful
as before, but it just took him some time to heal and feel better and he
is fine now! He is back to his old frisky self, tho he can't claw me
like he used to, he still bites me but it is mostly in play. He is also
more loving now, but he still can be a little sonofa sometimes! :-)

Hope I've helped!
