    All other guys who read this!

I hereby submit my ever so humble apology for calling all guys
ass***** and gutless!  I humbly ask all for forgiveness.  I
get down on my knees and beg!  Please, please forgive me.

I knew not what I was doing or thinking.  

Uhhh...my keyboard was possessed and just took over.  I tried 
to stop it but it was out of control and I was too late.  Before 
I knew it the keyboard had pushed 's' for send.

Uhhh...it wasn't me, it was my boss, when he found out I was
reading the net he decided to get me in trouble with fellow
netters. 

Uhhh, female aliens took over my place of employement and decided
to rid the net of all male readers by bashing them!   Yeah, thats it, 
thats the ticket!

>>>NOT<<<

Actually, I just wanted to get a rise out of you, and lure some of
those men who just lurk around out into the open.

My apologies!  I was just kidding!  Men are not ass***** and gutless.
They are wonderful, kind, loving, people only out to make the
world a better place to live in!  

>>>NOT<<<<

Really, I am sorry, I was joking so I hope no one took me too
seriously.  I think that it is great that men are finally
coming out of the closet and admitting that they like
"daytime dramas" too.  I think that the guys on the net have
a lot of good things to say and I enjoy reading their opinions!
In college, a lot of my guy friends watched DOOL, but trying
to get them to admit it (especially in front of other guys)
was like trying to get IzzyB to remember not to endanger her
baby!  :-)

PS - Sorry Peel sisters, but my conscious got the best of me!

	I watch for the characters.  I don't think that suspense has much
to do with it.  I hate suspense.  But soaps have a real sense of justice.
You can be pretty sure (though I am beginning to doubt this of late) that
anyone who is really bad will eventually get what's coming to him.  You
aren't always assured of seeing justice in real life.  I think that's one
of the big reasons I like it.  There have been a number of times I've cheered
really loud and they were mostly when someone got what was coming to him.
There are also usually some characters with whom I can identify.

 I liked Nick because he wasn't boring. I loved that stuff

 a lot easier to watch than SCarrie throwing herself down

I have a question to ask about British people and their speech.  The other
day when Count Ickula called--John was in the shower, and Dani answered the
phone--I could have sworn that Dani said Isabellar instead of Isabella.  I
couldn't rewind and check because I was watching in real-time.  Is that
something the British do, add "R's" to the end of names that end in an "A"?
I remember Shane use to say "Kaylar" all of the time.

What if we don't like Ick or Dani?  Putting down one character doesn't
elevate the other:

	Icky				Dani
	-----				-----
	Dumb with good intentions	Clever with selfish intentions
	Clinging			Grasping
	Loves John			Loves money

Looks pretty even to me.  

The bottom line is, if John allows himself to be seduced by Dani, then
he is less of a man than we want him to be.

Maybe she could hit it off with one of the Japanese guys that were so

I know a gay couple who want to get married and are currently living 
together.  They aren't hyphenating their names, but they are combining
them.  They are taking the first syllable of one of their names and the
last syllable of the other name, so that it looks like one regular name.
If, perchance, they adopt, then the child will probably have that last name.

The same could be done with a man and a woman (or woman and woman) as well.
Just somehow combine the names in some kind of a way that sounds good.
That way, the names are a product of both of these people, and they don't
get ridiculously long.  I think it's a good idea.  :)

For the longest time there was the dropped storyline concerning Dawn's

This weeks TV guide mentioned that Linda Dano refused to stay

like Current Affair or some other awful thing.  She would prefer
that it stayed like it started out- as a "chat"
In the same article, they said she had renewed her NBC contract
for AW until 1996(!)

Hi Keithy!

I have the feeling that, despite the fact that Blake has devoted her
whole life to saving Wonder-Bread's skinny white butt, he is going to
abandon her at the first sign of trouble.  It seems they are about to lose
what's-his-name, that big client, to Lewis.  This will prove to Alex
that it was a mistake to have W-B head the oil division, and he'll
NEVER be president of the company.

I used to HATE Blake but over the last few months I have really gotten
interested in her.  My sympathy for her grew in direct proportion to
my exposure to Holly... can you IMAGINE having a mother like that?
She's fifty times worse than Nadine!  It also helps that Blake has
stopped being so unbearably snotty to everyone.  (Well, she was snotty
to Ross the other day, but I think he had it coming.)

I noticed that nobody calls her the Evil Thorpe Spawn anymore!  Maybe
she's growing on us.

I don't think that she could have an affair with Leopold as he was her brother.
But I started thinking that maybe the man she was referring to was Stephano.
If her secret was about pretending Forrest was dead but actually he was alive,
and had she told that to Stephano, that would explain how Stephano got a hold
of John.

It seemed to me that Vivian pointed out the file to Isabella and left as
if Vivian didn't want to officially say it's okay for Izzy to look at it, but
Vivian didn't really mind if Izzy did.  I guess it would be like saying 
"I can't give you permission to see it, but I'll pretend I didn't see you
look at it."
