This friend of mine (Hi Diana!) told me she too had heard that Frank had
kidney problems and was going to have to have dialysis from now on.  This would
explain why he looked so bad and also why he hasn't been on the show the last
few times.  If he was just losing weight he would still be able to act.

I remembered that last year I was at the beach in May and on May 9 Knots 2
hour season finale was on.  I remember this well because my husband couldn't
believe I was rushing him to finish his seafood so I could be back to our room
when Knots came on.  (By the way, I was back before Knots came on so I didn't
miss any of it :)  I wonder why there isn't going to be a 2 hour episode this
season.

Subject: DOOL:SeenAl

Yesterday, Sophie was kind enough to tape Jenny Jones for me (I forgot
to set the VCR before I dashed out of the house - Thanks Soph!)....the
topic was "Sex on Soaps".  Well boy did we get lucky - who was the
"expert" from the Soaps - none other than our own SeenAl!!  I haven't
seen the show yet (Soph is mailing me the tape) but from what she says,
Al likes lots of sex scenes (boink boink boink) and wouldn't mind if his
children watched them.  This brought a lot of flack from the therapist
on the show and the audience. Sophie said that the audience was booing
Uncle Al!

After I get the tape, I promise to post a recap.  Wow....not only do I
have a SeenAl dartboard but now I can throw the brick at him too!! :-)

Does anyone watch Loving or is that show done with.  I used to watch it
in the summer time because it is very popular in Italy and when I got back to
the states my cousins wanted to know how far ahead America was to their
programming.
I thought maybe someone could give a review of this soap since about the time 
of Christmas since that is the last time I watched it.  I have seen anyone   
talk about this as one of the topics so I fuigured maybe it was canceled or 
no one is interested.  If there is anyone who watches it could you please send

Ok.......lets take it easy on Kelly....I think she is doing an ok job.  I think
that when she first came on that she was pretty bad.  But know she is doing a fine job of playing Kelly.  What the writers need to worry about is the storyline
with Sophia....what the hell happened to her?  First we see her with Ken and nowshe has dissapeared.  And another thing...I think they need to find someone for
David.....Now that the Marylin/Angela/Cassie/David/Warren thing ahs run its 
course they need to get him re-involved.

DOOL: WRITERS are  braindead  
 
Hello All,
 
Joanna pointed out several instances of
the writers proving that they are 90%
braindead. If I may paraphrase,
1. they have no sense of the world time zones.
2. they have no experience with planning and
   executing a child's birthday party.
3. they have no sense of daily activities
   of school age kids as they had the twins
   attending soccer practice before school.
Well Joanna, I can honestly say that the
writers on GL have the same problem, only it
is much more intense.
I expect them to be outrageous with the
major inconsistencies (ie bringing people
back from the dead etc) , but I would think
that they could handle some of the more 
minor details with a bit more accuracy
and care.
 
You aren't the only one that they drive insane
by their inaneness....
Just my .02$ for what it's worth.

As a new un-lurker, I have been instructed that I should better

Now to the good stuff.  I have no pets -- I am deathly allergic
but if I had my choice, I would have a BIG dog (sorry, cat lovers).
My temperament has been compared to that of the Tasmanian Devil
(I am a big fan of his) -- nice and gentle until provoked, and 
then watch out!!!  I love four wheeling -- I drive a big red
4x4 truck with license plates that read "MOV OVR" so you can 
guess that I like people to get out of my way as I always seem
to be in a big hurry, even if I am going nowhere.

I would have unlurked long before now but I have been reluctant
about using my SO's account for my personal postings.  At last 
the pressure got to me and I couldn't take the silence any more!!!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that my SO, a previous non soaps-watcher,

This is a very interesting idea.  At first I thought, "gee, this Brandon
guy must be horrible to know about Nick's true parentage and use it
as blackmail."  But, of course, if he's ruthless enough to cover up this
pollution story, who's to say he wouldn't do this sort of thing?
Now, all we have to figure out is HOW Brandon knew.

Several months ago Lily went to Vegas and they showed her dancing in some
