Not that I really want to get involved in this kind of
intellectual food-fight, but has anyone really looked at
rec.arts.fine?

I did, when I first got net access, and was disappointed
by it.  There was a lot of posts about "I have a piece
by X, how much do you think its worth?"  

This kinda turned me off.

There was also talk about exhibits, but ticket prices and
hours of show were more the topic than anything else.

So I don't think knocking r.a.t.s. is the answer.

In rec.arts.fine *I* saw some evidence of why *I* think
this country is in trouble - fine art as product, fine art
as investment, fine art as a symbol of snobbishness.

Truly fine art can be appreciated by anyone, but appreciation
of fine art is *no* guarantee one is a fine *person*.

(Please note that not all posts that I saw in rec.arts.fine
fit the above pattern.  Just more than I expected.)

I am an avid SISTERS fan.  Just one comment and one correction from me.

comment : I am in love.  Who is this quy that plays Simon Bolt. He is gorgeous.
          I love the interplay between him and Teddy. If he has a spare $10
          million, I have a business and personal opportunity for him. 

correction : I do believe that the person that works for Teddy is named McKinley.

I doubt that will happen.  I don't know how familiar you are with the show,
but the father gave his daughters "masculine" names because he really
wanted a son and never got it.  Chances are it will be a nice Jewish name.

Tuesday's very quickie update...from memory on Thursday morning...

Now that the disclaimers are out of the way, on to the update

Clay and Ava yell at each other. Clay thinks it's Ava's fault that Leo
has been avoiding him. Ava thinks Clay is a jerk.

Trucker is planning the surprise wedding, but he is in a dress (he
used it to escape from the hospital). He is telling Casey that he
needs to get out of this. Gwyn overhears, and thinks that Trucker
wants out of the wedding.

Louie isn't feeling well, but he keeps telling Kate that it's nothing.

Stacey "imagines" things...like Jack's watch appearing and
disappearing and Jack called her and hung up when she tried to talk to
him. Of course, the AuPair is not happy to be doing this to Stacey,
but Clay pays her well and reminds her HE is not in the country
illegally. The AuPair says she made a copy of the watch, just like he
wanted and she found the tapes of Jack's voice, just like he wanted,
but she doesn't like it. Stacey meets with Shana who suggests that
Stacey see someone. Stacey says she is worried about what is happenign
to her, but she doesn't want to talk to a shrink! Shana tells Stacey
that she used to set a place for Jim even after he died. She just
needed to talk about it and get the grief out of her system. Stacey
will work it out by herself, thank you very much.

okay, people, what did I forget?

Tiffany will probably play dirty and bring up the fact that Bobbie is a
former hooker, she went to an illegal "baby broker" to get Lucas, and
she lied and did everything she could to keep Lucas even though she knew
that Cheryl was his birth mother.

What really gets me is they keep going on about how Tony and Bobbie are
better able to care for Lucas since he is a diabetic.  HOWEVER, every time
I see Bobbie with Lucas, she is feeding him chocolate cupcakes!  The kid
will never reach his fourth birthday if she keeps that up.  Obviously the
writers don't know anything about diabetes.

Didn't you love BJ's wedding attire?  Short mini-skirt with foofy
petticoats (like those square-dance skirts), anklet socks with high
heels, all in white (shoes may have been in silver).  Then her head
piece was a silver visor with veil stuff around it.  I loved it --
very kooky and nontraditional.  Ugly, yeah, but it was antiestablishment,
which is what the wedding would be about.

>  Mason looking sad tells Julia, "You see, I miss my wife.  I miss sitting 

Mason has been great through all this, and Julia's been a big baby.
Could you imagine the reaction from us viewers if the roles were
switched and Mason was the pouting immature whiny one?  I really had
it with Julia last week.  OK, so you're upset you didn't win.  But
isn't there one shred of dignity in your being that would allow you,
rather make you want to congratulate your husband, your soulmate on
his victory?  I'm glad to see Mason be above her tactics, that he
didn't turn the tables on her.  I'm surprised she's not blatently
gloating.

I really enjoyed the election story but had enough when the writing
turned to Democrat = all things wise and wonderful and Republican =
all things despised and awful.  My politics aside, I don't like to
see a show take sides.  I like to see mature arguments in favor of
both or against both.

Pauline, I like your motorcycle! :-) I read in the tv guide that
Edmund had a stuntman do some to most of his scenes driving that
thing in the actions shots (tho I don't know how long they will

Also, if I were Erica or Count Dim, I *certainly* would have turned around
to the "vravoom vravoom" sounds. They didn't even turn around to look
(not that they would recognize him in the covered helmet...)...

I had a little accident yesterday, I caught my left thumb in a car
door yesterday (it's called "crushed"). Luckily, it's not broken.
Well, I am fine, I just took my painkiller :-)))

Good question!! We haven't seen Cabin since that whole thing happened. Notice
how it hasn't even occurred to the YUCKdale Police to go to the jail and 
question him??? Jetson did point the finger at him. It's only common sense
(which is probably why they haven't thought of it)

>Does Frantic care that Barbed is mad at her, now?  I certainly don't.

It is kind of a stretch isn't it? There certainly is enough blame to go 
around. Babs should accept some of it herself. I will say, however, that I
am going to enjoy this confrontation between Babs and Frantic, if for no 
other reason than I am totally sick of everyone coddling Frantic all the 
time. The only person who receives more coddling on this show is Chilly.
I think it's entirely in character for Babs to attack Frantic. She always
blames everyone else.
