Okay, fellas (is that offensive, Timmy?) -

It's "trimming the fat" when cutting the fat off a piece of meat.

It's "skimming the fat" when skimming the fat off the top of...say...
some gravy when it (the fat) floats to the top.

Hi, all y'all Loving fans! Thank God some of y'all have startes posting!
A couple of things...Stacy & Trucker shared that kiss back when they
were at the Tides looking for the "weird" lady connected to the "secret"
room...I knew they had done that for a reason. Those two will start being
a thing in less than a month. Trisha will have a hissy-fit (typical). 
It'll be "Stacy, I thought you were my friend! (Pout) How could you do
(whatever) with my husband?!" (whine). Gawd, I am sick of her! She used to
be such a good character. 
They could dump Giff, Clay, and Hannah without a sigh from me.
Whoever posted about doing something with Arthur - I agree! He is cute
behind those nerdy glasses. I'm surprised the writers haven't done more
with him. Bring on Arthur! (And start calling him Art, for Pete's sake!)
Hurry up & show Mr. Burnell. I hope they get a good-looking actor for him,
Ava deserves a cutie.
Alley-cat needs to get a clue, desperately.
Oh, & 1 more thing...if Jack is missing at sea, do y'all think that'll be
enough incentive for Ann to finally return to Corinth? That could set up a
good battle between Shana & Ann for control of Alden Enterprises, when 
Nostrilla, oops, I mean Clay finds out he's not a "real" Alden. 
Then again, Ann may never show up again. Hell, her mother nearly kicked
the bucket, she didn't show up. She didn't show up for Cabot's funeral.
I guess the writers figure we can't remember something over 2 months old.

The baby is up at the Wallingford's where the housekeeper is looking
after him.  But someone posted a few weeks ago that the housekeeper is
off making a movie or something like that, so I guess Jamie is in
Hollywood.  Fear not -- he'll be back when Edmund realizes that he can't
be a good father.

Is it too late to start another petition to keep SB on the air, or is teh
decision final?  I am going to miss this show so bad!  

BTW, I don't want DOOL to be cancelled, it's just that between the two soaps
I choose SB.  AS DOOL gets worse, SB gets better and then the cancel.  How
disappointing.

I can't wait to see today's show.  I'm sure when Cruz tells Jody about
BJ's abuse, it will be a real tear-jerker.  Maybe this will make Reese
wake up and come back to Jody.

Ahh...so then, you don't love the Lombards...it's just Roger?  I can 
almost understand this.  Roger can certainly add some interest to 
things but Stella (who was on LALaw recently, BTW) and Jesse can both 
take a long walk off a short pier as far as I'm concerned.  I'm not

As for the Scoffields...I really just wanna keep Brian but he has to

Today is the official DEADLINE for submitting your blurbs/biographies
to me (Mum-Squared).  If you have already done so, pat yourself on the back
and smile smugly knowing that you are one of the few, the proud, the Dreamteam
1992-3 yearbook participants!  There are over 30 of you folks who will get
to bask in the group glory of reliving those golden moments in each of our
lives!

But for those of you who have not yet begun to type, now is definately the
time to limber up those fingers.  I know that some of you out there were
waiting for the softball game in order to fill us in, but thats no excuse
as its over.  So, all you New Jersey neophytes, now is the time to submit
your blurb.  

And then there are the missing in action folks, like Will and Laura, Joseph
M Fierro, Hi-Ho Silver, and Alma.  I know you are out there, and hiding
from nursie and the dream team staff just gets us testy.  If you don't plan
on participating for some personal reason or another, can you just drop us
a note and let us know so we can stop publically embarassing you on the net?

Don't forget to email your blurb to this address, and ONLY this address.  
Ignore the email address at the top of this post.  Don't reply to this
above address.  Just use:

And the big question of the day is:  Does Key Lime Pie constitute a balanced

Doesn't the state of Illinois have a mandatory test for AIDS/HIV before
a marriage license is issued?  I thought I heard about this a few
years ago and people in the state were going to Wisconsin, etc., to
get their marriage license.  And if that is the case, now maybe
Ryan will be uncovered - he'll test positive.  He never did pick up
his results in Wisconsin, did he?

Yes, her name was Katie. She used to have quite a prominent role in the show. 
Then when she got rid of her pimples, she stayed on for a little while then  
just faded out sometime in 1988. I felt sorry for her myself. Fancy being
like thatwhile her two sisters were gorgeous!

Yes, you do!  :-)

His name was Rocco and he also sort of founded out around late 1988 too.
I thought his role was supposed to be as a coooool dude! I remember, he
saved Ridge and Caroline from a couple of thugs and was rewarded with a 
job at Forresters. He also gave the aforementioned Katie a ring, even though
he was keen on sister Donna. When Katie found out about this it further
destroyed her confidence. It seems that all the Logans, except Brooke, have
disappeared from the show. Obviously their dat to day life was just too ho-
hum boring!

Argh!!! How could Angelique NOT insist to find out what Helga wanted to say?
Here is her mother wanting to tell her "something she does not know" and
that seems rather distressing, and her husband says "no! don't tell her
stop! Don't upset her!" And Angelique accepts this??!! I wouldn't let it
go that easily!! And the same thing happened on Thursday or Friday.
Geez Angelique, wake up! Don't you realize what's going on? Dimitri
is obviously hiding something!!

MY name is Sonya Trevino and I am a lurker.  I tried to write in a 
few posts but no one acknowledged my existence, so I went back to 
lurking.  
I am 19, a public relations junior at the University of Texas, and
have long brown hair and brown eyes.
I have been watching ATWT off and on since I was young.  My mom used
to watch the soap too.  In fact, I think she saw the very beginnings
of ATWT.
I like Courntey, Hutch, Holden, Barbara, and Evan.  I like Tess a lot
too.  Her jealousy is amusing.  I cannot stand Lily and wish that
they would replace her with a better actress.  The new Emily is
interesting...I haven't decided whether or not I like her.
Lucinda is a great one too.  I intensely dislike Frannie, Daryl, and
Lily.  I think Emma is an ugly old hag who is supposed to be a graeat
mother, but is a bad influence on her children, condoning extra-marital
affairs and the like.  Her scenes with Ned are downright gross and I wish 
the two would get lost in the woods.  I like the mysteriousness that 
surrounds Roseanna.  I like her and Hutch together, but they need to lay
off on the boob scenes.  It takes away the attention to just that part
of her and I think she has more to offer.
The amnesiac Holden storyline will probably be the dumbest ever, but
I still think Jon Hensley is drop-dead gorgeous.
Well, I will now go back to lurking unless someone actually responds
to this post, which, given the track record, is doubtful.
