This is just an interesting little tidbit that I picked up on while
catching the end of Loving yesterday.  Dinah Lee Mayberry from Loving
is coming to stay with Myrtle Fargate for a vacation from Corinth.
I had read somewhere that she would somehow be involved with Carter
so I guess this is the beginning and then somehow Jeremy will get
involved and move on over to Loving.  A little history on Dinah Lee:
She is supposed to be from the "Wrong Side of the Tracks" and her
and her fiance, Clay Alden, have just called it quits so she is mending
a severely broken heart.  Clay is rich and has a family that just can't
seem to stay out of his business, (thats the reason for the breakup).
When Dinah Lee first came to Loving she was pretty bad, but you know
how that goes, she did a "Gloria Marsh" turnaround!  I guess we'll have
to wait and see what happens.  Maybe Brian will end up with her and
move on over to Loving!!!

I remember reading a post from ATWT (I can't remember when) saying that
Margo was going to be on OLTL.  I can only assume then that it Was Margo
that you saw, but I can't be absolutely certain since I've never watched
ATWT.

But if we're talking about the same woman, she is Gannon's ex-wife, and
therefore, Rachel's mother.  And I do think that this will make for an
interesting storyline.

I, too, think Rachel is beautiful, but what better-looking guy could
they have found for her?  Billy's cute, but he's gay.  Joey's cute, but
he's too young.  Jason is butt-ugly.  And every other guy is either too
old for her or married.  I admit, Kevin's no stud-muffin, but what else
is there?

   BTW, The E channel is great, it's 24-hour information on

I got my yearbook on Saturday and I absolutely loved it.  I showed it
to my boyfriend, and his first question was "What is the Ward?".  When
I explained it to him, he called me weird, but I ignored him.  The\
pictures of everybody are great, the advertisements for the various
Yuckdale businesses made me laugh, and I can't wait to go home so I can
try out some of those recipes on my family.

That's all I have time to say for now...because I've been a very bad girl
and slacked off on some research that I was supposed to have been working
on.  :-(   Considering that I meet with the prof at 4 this afternoon, I
had better get cracking.  No drugs for me until later, darn it!

Wait, one more thing:  whoever it was (in the section that didn't have
any pictures) that said that they thought they were one of the few people
rooting for Anus and Court'me to get back together:  You're Not, because
I have been hoping for that to happen, even while she was still going out

Well, we know the scooter has 3 speeds.  The commands I've figured out are:
"Yo! Kick it!" -- To start the scooter (maybe also to get to speed 1)
"Swing" -- To get it to the fastest speed
"Good-bye" -- To have it go in reverse
"Whoa! Cease!" or "Cease" -- To have it stop (I'm not sure if the Whoa is
needed or not)

I know I've watched for too long (I started watching around 1980, just after

I disagree with this!! I think Maureen does need to get pregnant. That was
the whole point of her wanting a baby, to experience childbirth. She's 
already experiencing raising a child, and doing a mighty fine job of it.

Indeed!  After all Viki has been through in the last year or so--the
re-emergence of Nikki Smith, her stroke, the gun shot, resigning
as Mayor, Clint's brain surgery, Megan's death, the quilt, etc., etc...., 
maybe she isn't quite ready for a divorce and a new romance--on the
other hand???  Afterall, it *IS* a soap!

Renee is a much better candidate!  But, like Dorian, she has a certain
maternal relation to Viki that may leave Sloan cold.  (Dorian being
Viki's step mother through Victor Lord, and Renee being Viki's (ex)
mother-in-law.)  Of course, that being the case--Blair is Viki's current
mother-in-law, as well as Viki's step mother's niece.  Now, if Sloan
were to marry Blair, and Andrew were to marry Cassie, the $10,000
question is: what would Viki and Sloan's relation be????

  I called NBC Studios and got absolutely no where.  Why am I not surprised.
  I left a message for Susan Lee's office to get back to me (I'll hold my
  breath) and I did manage to talk to a real live person in the Santa
  Barbara offices but he was new and didn't have much information.  When
  asked directly if Santa Barbara was cancelled he said he didn't know.
  I asked what we, as fans, could do and he said call the network offices.
  That number is (818)840-4444 and ask for Daytime Programming.

  I realize that this is "just a soap" but it's my soap and I want it to
  stay on the air.  At least long enough so that I can get used to the

Just have to say that I loved the show today.  Tracy was in rare form. 
I loved all the digs she got in at Nikki, and her dialogue with Edward. 
The way they banter back and forth is great.

I also have to say that I like Brenda.  It's time Karen had a little
competition.  Maybe she'll be able to make up her mind now.

I was even impressed with Tiffany's acting (the scene where she tells
her parents about Cheryl).  I almost died though, when the phone rang
and Sean said, "Mrs. Crumholtz?"  I know the scene was supposed to be
serious, but I couldn't help it.

Just my impressions of today's show.

	It's amazing to me that such a popular character (and whether any of
the rest of you admit or not, she is popular because the ratings shot way up
when she came back, and Finola Hughes had already left by then) has so many
detractors.

	Whether you like it or not, Anna's character was introduced well after
Holly, so in my mind, she'll always be the outsider in Robert's life, history
notwithstanding.  I liked Holly with Luke, with Robert, and I like her with
Bill, except that they continue to waste her last few months with stupid
dialogue and no storyline.

	I may be a minority on the net, but I think it's the other way around
in the general population.

Loose ends is the least of it:
They later told Scott on the phone that he had a "girlfriend" in another
state and he was probably off visiting her. "Yeah, right." In a company truck,
in company uniform, with no luggage, and no word to the company or his wife?
Like he's supposed to be able to just leave his job anytime in company
property like that, and keep on earning a living?  Like the police wouldn't be
able to ask the girlfriend if he's there?

Just venting,
