==========================================================
From the desk of Kathy "GH Sucker" Ellington:

I scream, You scream, we all scream for "Volunteen"!!
======================================================
Robin, Jason and the rest of the crew endure an indoctrination
lecture from Big Nurse Audrey about the Volunteen Program.  The
hip kids draw the line, though, at the nerdy clothes Audrey
proposes they wear.  The rest of the kids split, but Jason
Quartermaine and Robin decide to accompany Dr. Simpson on his
rounds.  Later, after Simpson was called away on an emergency
during rounds, the two teens rest and recoup in the GH cafeteria.
Robin was pretty much grossed-out by an old man who insisted on
showing the kids his surgery scars (the old pervert!).  They
blab a bit and Jason tells Robin that she's a "giving" person,
just like her parents.

Is that a leg of lamb in your pocket, or are you just ... etc.
==============================================================
The new Mrs. Ashton wants to make a big home-cooked meal for
hubby and the in-laws.  Ned agrees, and so Jenny invites her
brother, the Haddock, along with Tracy and the Horn-Toad for
dinner.  Dinner was not shown on Tuesday's episode, however,
because it was a large lamb roast and takes too long to cook.
Maybe Thursday...

Tracy -- What's a Sister-In-Law to do?
======================================
Tracy tries to warn Monica that Miss Nicki is not the innocent
little milkmaid she seems.  Monica screams like a banshee at poor
Tracy for suggesting Nicki is a devious bitch.  Even after Tracy
pointed out that she found Nicki in Monica and Alan's bedroom,
pawing through their drawers Monica refuses to listen.  [I know
why Nicki didn't find anything; Alan's pair of giant blue silk
pajamas got in her way!]  Anyway, Tracy is sulky with Paul who
took Monica's side in the dust-up and she's threatened to go and
pout instead of attending the feast at Ned/Jenny's house.

All-Jerk makes his move
=======================
Evil Nicki is moosing around the Q mansion, waving her dad's
autopsy papers at anyone who's wandering by.  All-Jerk bites,
she reels him in and he pours on the sympathy.  He suggests a
game of racquetball to ease her emotional agonies; she agrees.

THE PORT CHARLES CAFFEINE THEORY:
GOD!  I just can't stand it one more second.  There is one
British person and one Australian person in the cast, yet it
appears that EVERYONE in PC has switched to tea-drinking!
God, the only place you can get a cup of Joe is at Kelly's!!
And who knows what foul ingredients Ruby puts in her coffee??
Is Port Charles so out of the mainstream that they've never
heard of drinking a cafe-latte like the rest of the U.S.?
Is the image of the whistling tea kettle supposed to be homey
and soothing?  Hey, maybe if they slammed down a little caffeine
their brains would start operating on high gear (this would be
especially helpful to Mac, don't you think?) and things would
start "happening" again in PC.  Think of the doormat Dominique
behind a couple of double espressos...she'd slam-dunk that piece
of lunchmeat so fast that he'd be FORCED to take her seriously
and tell her all his secrets.  And what about wimplike characters
like Doc Tom, Insect Meg, etc.  These people REQUIRE a stimulant
and what could be more benign than a hit of caffeine.
You comments are always welcome, as long as you agree with me!
