Just a few thoughts on the postings I've been reading and the news thanks
to Margaret Gibbs.  Our feed is about 10-14 days behind, so this may be very
old news.  SIGH!  Reduced to lurking .....       ^^^^^^

I think Tad's hair looks just fine!  In fact, I think the rest of him looks
pretty good too!! :-) ;-) :-D

All this talk about Dixie being a bad mother because she wants to have some 
sort of a life with Brian, and what a brainless he is because of his behavior-
Give it a rest.  I think it was Karin Coffee who summed it up with
her disertation on this subject.  Right on, Karin!  Although I am no big fan
of Brian Brainless, the fact that he is 18 (almost 19!) and seeing a woman 
who is supposed to be 23-24 is no big deal!!  Didn't many of us already 
"confess" on this same net that we also have participated in such 
relationships?  The love of my life was 18 when I met him.  I was 22 at the
time.  I will admit that at the time I sometimes felt funny when I started
introducing him to my friends, but eventually no one thought anything of it!

Re: NewNat.  I like the actress.  I think she is doing an OK job with a tough
role.  It has to be hard to replace an established actress in character.
It seems the chemistry with her and Trev and Timmy is OK.

When will Timmy get PVGD?  In Wednesday's show (12/23) he was so cute in
that scene with Santa Claus.  And as always, he (eventually) realized that
"Santa" knew his name.  Timmy always buys a clue.
ANYWAY, if he doesn't get PVGD soon, Scott and Junior will soon pass him.
Even Jamie won't be far behind.  Based on the usual rate of PCGD, Scott will
come back as a high school junior and Timmy should also be that.  It seems
a shame, since Tommy Michaels is obviously a superior child actor.  But I
think it's inevitable that he must be soon be aged.

BTW, I predicted Adam would be the first to spot "Ted".  And I was proved
right! .....  Now don't you nit-pickers go an say I meant Adam Sr.  How do
you know what I meant?  Huh?
 
And, finally, WHEN IS "JUNIOR" GOING TO  GET A REAL NAME !^#$#@ww^#w*&#!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS  --  HAPPY NEW YEAR --  HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!

He's also a much more successful businessman than before his accident.
The old Tad wasn't much in the power-lunch department (I realize the
real money comes from his latest "mother", but she gushes on and
on about how smart and savvy he is).

Strange, very strange....

Good idea!  If all the HF'ers would *please* write at least one
letter to both Lorimar and ABC, that might help a little.
And if I may suggest with TK's permission:  Everyone on the net
who is going to write, use "Keep the Homefires Burning!" as your
signature line.  If they get a bunch of letters with the same signature
line it might help too.  What does everyone else think?

We need to save HF. It's too well written of a show to have it
die.

Well, no comments from anyone about Choppers giving Haley a smooch under the 
mistletoe? I am surprised at you all!!
Personally, I thought it was a pathetic kiss...wooden faces and all. I 
wonder if the actress playing Haley was grossed out about kissing a 
horsey-faced 37 year-old man?! Isn't he old enough to be her father?
 Ewwwww....I don't mind them being buddies, but frankly, the thought of

I think Nora believes she is Tad/Ted's mother.  The story she told 
Dimitri about her eight year old son disappearing while on a bike 
ride was very touching.  

I can easily see how she would keep the hope that "one day" her son 
would reappear.  This is going to be a sad storyline when Nora is made
to realize Ted is not her son.  I really feel sorry for her.  After all 
those years, she finally had a bit of happiness.

I don't think Tad/Charlie/Hayley will be able to find "Ted" in the end.
He has probably been dead for many years.  (Of course, it IS a soap...
Ted could turn out to be Charlie for all we know...  ;-) )

I haven't read news for a week (because we have this week off), and due
to some unknown glitches, I can't log in from home, so I raced in tonight
to get what I could before it expired, so if someone else speculated
something similar, I apologize (my 7K-line amc file is currently
printing).

It occurred to me (even before today's episode, where Tad said hello to
his little bro) that the hospital is the most logical place for all the
women in his life to bump into him.  Near the 4th floor nurses station in
front of the elevator is the prime meeting place, so let's say that:

	o Opal is recuperating from giving birth

	o Nora/Nola is recuperating from her heart attack

	o Dixie is visiting Opal 

	o Ruth is, of course, at work

	o Brooke has Tempo business at the hospital

	o Marian Colby, having heard that Ms. Orsini is in town for a
	  while and may want real estate, comes to the hospital to visit
          her and strong-arm her into buying Natalie's now-vacant
	  penthouse.

	o Erica has come out of her coma and is being wheeled out for
	  tests.

	Tad walks up to Ruth in front of the elevator to ask about his
	mother.  Ruth looks up, says "TAD!!!" and faints dead away.  
	The elevator door opens, Brooke steps out, sees Tad, says "TAD!!!"
	and faints dead away, falling on top of Ruth.  Opal and Dixie are 
	taking a walk, they both see Tad, scream "TAD!!!" and faint dead 
	away, falling on top of Ruth and Brooke.  Meanwhile, Nola/Nora 
	(against doctor's orders) decides to take a walk, and walks up to 
	Tad just as Joe rounds the corner, see's Tad and says "My God, it's 
	my long lost son Tad!  We thought you had DIED!!!" (he does not
	faint dead away, because men on soaps don't do that.  He does,
	however, sit down quickly on the convenient stack of unconscious
	women at Tad's feet).  Nola/Nora screams "TED!!!" and faints dead 
	away on the top of the heap (across Joe's lap).  Marian steps off
	the elevator, sees Tad, has a screaming orgasm and faints dead
	away, carefully maneuvering Nola/Nora onto the floor first so
	that SHE can be across Joe's lap.  Erica wheels around the corner 
	and says "Well, my goodness, it's Tad -- we thought you were dead!".  
	Not having boinked him or given birth to him either physically or 
	spiritually, she remains seated, with an archly questioning look at 
	the pile-up at the fourth floor nurses station.

	Ted looks at the pile of women (plus Joe) at his feet and says 
	"Who's Tad?"

Hope everyone is having or has had great holidays!

No, no, no...  See, after you've been together a long while, and you've
done the wild thing in every imaginable place possible, one might come
to the conclusion that it is far more fun to do it in the bedroom where
one can spend all one's energies focused on thoroughly enjoying the wild
thing, rather than to spend alot of energy trying to get comfortable
enough to enjoy the wild thing while one is on a cold, hard, rough, bumpy
and/or unroomy surface.

Re:  Classic Carrie

When I was watching the "Christmas Show" (yeah RIIIGHT) I remembered
suddenly a flash of "Carrie" (i.e. Middnendorf) being incredibly rude
and obnoxious to Molly, acting like she had all the experience in
the world with men...that is NOT the way this Carrie would have EVER
acted... it was like they brought in this entirely new character, and
by bringing back Christie Clark, they brought back the *real* Carrie.
Middendorf's version was just NOT Carrie Brady.

  I have several comments...

1) What ever happened to Nick,the Santa claus that Rick and Beth and
Phillip used to meet up with every year?  I don't recall seeing him
last year either and I really miss him.  He could've saved Bridgett
from spending Christmas in Nadine's attic.  I felt really bad for her.

2) Has anyone else noticed that since we've discovered that Mo is going
to die,everyone and his sister is mentioning what a wonderful wife,mother
and all around friend she is!  Geez!  They keep trying to convince the
viewers of what a wonderful person Mo is.  If she's THAT damned terrific,
why are they planning to kill her off?

3) Nick and Eve aren't so horrible together.  I thought they would
make me puke,but they just bore me instead.

4) Does anyone recall that when Eleni first found out she was pregnant
with AM's baby,she wanted Frank to raise it as his own and when he told
her he couldn't do it,she said she was still going to leave AM.  Frank
asked where she would go and she said she didn't know,maybe back to Greece.
My question is,if she was willing to leave AM without Frank to support her,
and then her supposed reason for staying with AM was fear that he would try
to get custody to the child...what is her excuse now?  AM has offered her
her freedom and Frank is more than willing to raise the child as his own,
which is only right since you know we're gonna find out in the end that
it's Frank's anyway.  Eleni is a wimp.

I had a ton of comments,but can't recall any of them right now.  Ah well,
I've enjoyed the last few episodes and hope to see many comments!!
