It is quite possible that the writers read the net.  I remember reading some- 
thing on the startrek newsgroup about this.  Apparently at one of the 
conventions, a startrek actor mentionned that *their* writers read the net.
So, as I say, it's entirely possible!

one or two every other week posters DOESN'T "understand" ?

	It's one thing to have an opinion.  It's another to put down other
people's opinions.  It's still another to act the lone voice when the support

  I have to mention a funny story about a distant relative.
He is a deputy sheriff in the Rochester, NY area and about
18 years ago he was cleaning his gun while watching some
cop show. His wife was in the kitchen when she heard him
say, "I'll get him." and a shot rang out. You guessed it
he shot his tv not realizing he had not removed all the bullets.

  Needless to say on top of having to pay for a new tv (the
picture tube was beyond repair), he also was discplined by
the dept. I'm sure his fellow officers had a good chuckle
over the whole thing, I know my family just loves retelling
this story even to this day.

Organization: CSU
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 16:28:10 GMT

=========================================================================
 
Unanswered Questions:
 
1) Where did Dimitri come up with a Ferrari in Hungary?
   (it appeared to be a 305 GTS, but I didn't get a good look
    at it).
 
Actually, Erica had rented it for herself and had it driven up from Italy,
but the delivery driver was Bela's nephew who could also be bribed with
talk of romance and a few old fashioned American greenbacks by our
dashing Count Andrassi.
 
2) Are Condoms easily found in Budapest?
 
Only if you look for them in the first place :-) Or the third place, or
the Count's place :-)
 
3) Are Condoms easily found in Jack's room?
 
Need you ask?  Our socially-aware Turbo man believes in that new
advertising campaign ... "Even if you think it's magic...Cover your
Johnson.....Use Condoms"  (actual campaign poster spotted in a downtown
Cleveland sporting goods store)
 
4) Will Galen go to work for Montgomery and Associates?
 
Of course, and her first case will be Angel's divorce.
 
5) Are Myrtle and Madam G related?
 
Only spiritually.  Maybe Madam G knows where Langely is, huh?
 
6) Will Jeremy force all Humanities students to meditate?
 
No, but he will encourage them to develop their own version of JeriVision.
 
7) If you combined Dixie and Brian's IQ's, would it be larger
   than the average number of goals scored in a world cup
   soccer game? (These games usually end 0-0 or 1-0).
 
No.
 
8) Given all the poop Adam has pulled, what makes him think he
   can get custody as a better parent?
Soap Rule 839.65.a1 which states "A crisis may not occur as an isolated
 
incident, rather it must occur simultaneously with others of equal
or greater weight."  Which means, Dix will be knocked up, Braindead will
metamorphose into a responsibly-employed, reasonably acceptable human
being over Thanksgiving weekend,  someone will ask to exhume Brian's
parents, Adam will sue for custody, and WHAM.....Tad will return.
 
9) Why don't Angelique or Helga ever mention Angel's father?
 
Because Helga went to a sperm bank?? ;-)
 
10) Isn't Erica already "mistriss" of Wildwind?
 
Yes, but Dim's holding out to make her Miscountress of Weirdwind
 
Thanks for another good one Dave ;-)

Not to beat a dead horse, but I must agree. It was truely vile and sickening
(the 3 seconds that I watched). I wish you a speedy recovery, and let it
be a lesson to ya....never ever watch GH live. I know I couldn't <g>.

Now I must say that Felicia did a pretty good job of selling her story to

yesterday, she really was convincing. They are dragging this out way too

Ciao Spud,
 Jim Reilly comes from Guiding Light.  I believe (both Soap Opera
Weekly and Soap Opera Digest had brief blurbs a while back) that he
is coming in as co-head writer with Sheri Anderson.  I've never
watched GL, but I understand it's well written.  Maybe there's hope.
(On the other hand, he's probably never seen DOOL, so there goes        u

I'll bet there will be a big build up toward Had'em's meeting with Juicy for

he saw her picture on the front of some business magazine. (How's that for a

I really feel sorry for Susan Lucci--always winning a nomination, but
never winning the prize!  I think someone posted that she has been
nominated for an award for 13 years!  I don't know if this is accurate
or not, but after so many years of losing, I can't help but wonder
"why?"

Although I like the character of Erica, and I think Lucci does a
wonderful job, I really think the character is quite superficial, but
then, that's part of her charm.  Mayber if the character were given more
depth?  No?

I think some of her best dramatic scenes in the past few years were: 

1.  When she was in the chapel praying for Bianca's life (was this after
    the fire?)  It was a real tear-jerker for me.

2.  When she finally got to tell her father what it was like growing up
    without him.  (I was deeply moved by this)

3.  When she cut Jack down to size, telling him that he was not without
    fault and that he should put his ego in check--that her every little
    deed was not a calculated move to get him back, that she was over
    him.  (That was one time I remember shouting at the TV -- "Go on,
    girl!  It's about time! etc., etc.)

I like her comic antics with Adam, also.  But is this enough?  Should
she have won the award?  Comments, please.  (Feel free to add to the
list)

I'm glad you told us! Gee, my life is stable compared to Dixie
(at least I haven't been in a mental institution or had a baby)
but since 1988 I've:

been engaged
married (to the above fiance)
divorced
living with another man

Sigh. I commented the other day to my SO that most things in
my life last longer than my marriage. Oh, well. At least
I did learn alot through it!

Congratulations!

...if there is one at all.  When Georgie went driving at the end of the show,
I was expecting her to go into labour, but instead the crash -- how much
tragedy are they going to heap on Georgie and John?

My two favourite parts of this week's episode: 

    - Alex's scream when she found out the ticket was lost.  The actress is
      *very* good, I think, and did a fabulous job of playing out Alex's
      "trauma" this week.

    - Teddy's invite of Simon to dinner after she convinced him to let her
      fire the slimeball manager.  I could see it coming, but it was still
      great!

We (my wife and I) were discussing the Mitch-vs-Frankie dilemma and Frankie's
writing the cheque after the show, and we couldn't decide what would have
been the right thing to do.  Writing the cheque was right, but going behind
Mitch's back was wrong.  But I doubt she could have convinced Mitch to
write it himself...
