I wonder how they come up with these amazing biological facts. When I
watched the surgery scene and they had the doctor going on about the
"brains amazing ability to regenerate", I thought I'd shoot the television.
Not to mention the beautiful color scenes they were giving us of a monitor
that was completely un-understandable.

For those of you whose pet peeve is not mis-stated biological facts, the
brain does not have an amazing ability to regenerate. In fact, neuronal
tissue, at maturity, almost never regenerates. It is possible to recover
brain function, but, in general not to regenerate tissue. (I should say as
an aside that some new results suggest that the brain can actually
regenerate more than previously thought, but somehow, I doubt that the ATWT
writers are relying on this leading edge science.)

So in other words, the authors are trying to make an "important
distinction" between lost brain tissue and amnesia completely incorrectly.
Recovering function can't be different from recovering from amnesia, can
it?

Subject: DOOL: Bye ISSY-B

Can you believe it, everyone left the office for lunch and I have an hour to
post (provided no one walks in or calls requiring my attention).
Logged on and found a few posts.  Thanks.  I thought that either my Sysadm had
deleted this string or everyone took a vacation.
Nice to have you back Joanna.
Welcome Jeff.
Happy B'day to everyone who has had them in the last three weeks.

Jeff,
When I read your first post I got an idea.  Don't know if this has been posted
yet or not but, why don't we have a string of knocking the Ickster off of days?

I have a thought of how that might work.  Jeff said that there is a possibility
of Roger Lombard being in reality Roger Toscano.  The Ickster's long, lost
brother.  If he is her brother, he really must be extremely jealous of all of
the money she has.  Thinking that he could collect half of an empire he knocks
her off and inherits all of that dough.  Let's see......this could come out in
his trial for hitting Kim (thanks again Jeff).  The Ickster finds out about it
and comes to his defense, thereby getting him aquitted from jail time.
For appreciation for her assistance, he decided to oft her.  Well......it could
happen, couldn't it?
Oh yeah, you say, another trial.  Ho hum ho hum.  But, this one could be
exciting now that we have a decent writer.  Couldn't it?????   Well, that is my
thoughts on the matter.

Till next time, I'm turned loose.  I took up the whole hour to write this post.
Wouldn't you know it.  As soon as I started, the phone started ringing off the
hook and a dozen people filed into the office all demanding attention at the
same time.  (Of course this was an slightly blown up account of events).

wanton woman: prostitute.  Hmmmm... Maybe you are likening the DOOL net

don't like it though even though I do like Kim.

Gee, that all sounds so self-righteous.  I'll chalk it up to a stubborn

I used to have the same problem, too.  Fortunately, our SysAdmin person
changed some stuff around (No, I don't know what), and I discovered quite
by accident that I don't have the problem any longer.  However, that still
doesn't answer your question, does it?  I just added in a couple of blank
lines before and after my signature, and I found that it helped if I
deleted the article, where possible, or non-essential parts of it and put
something in like....[Stuff about Cruz and BJ's talk deleted].....then I
would add my comments.  I hope this helps some.

They didn't actually have sex but, Selina did allow Cooper to caress her
in an improper way.  Cooper's parents did believe Selina had sex with
him.  Cooper thought Selina left because what he had done was dirty
and so she no longer cared about him, that's why he couldn't touch
another woman.  Now that he has talked to Selina he knows that it
wasn't it his fault and is now free to love Hanna which he openly told
her.  At first I didn't like them together but now I'm starting to
like them as a couple.  Maybe its because I'm sick to death of Allie's
whining and her adolescent fantasies.

If you were Cooper's parents,

I agree with you - he'll be gone long enough for Stacy to be involved
with another man and then he'll return to reclaim his wife and family.
I think on yesterday's episode when Clay said "he may have found a 
piece of driftwood and floated into the warm gulf waters" that they
were setting up Jack's return a little bit.

Off and on since the 70's.  I watched Ryan's Hope, including
the very first episode.  (When Frank went down the stairs
and ended up in a wheelchair...)

But I digress.  I started watching GH along time ago.  I watched
during Luke and Laura, but missed the rape.  My mom actually
thought Tony Geary was sexy!! That is probably when I quit for
a while:)

I stopped watching when the Cassadines came, and Elizabeth Taylor.

I started watching again when Duke came onto the scene.

Viki has wanted to be anything more than a friend. She even made
a point of telling the General that she AND CLINT would be happy
to ride to Washington with him that day that he tried to get
her to go. I don't find it so unusual that she would befriend
