Janet, you just GOTTA do something with that Polish news poster you are using
It throws tabs in front of each line (which are far too long).

I bet your grandmother had some great tales to tell.  I feel sorry for kids
wtih no grandparents.  I feel even sorrier for kids who don't have the good
sense to listen to their stories.  This is living history; the very best
kind.

When I was a child, I truly enjoyed listening to the old folks.  I remember
one old lady on my paper route that always had a cup of cocoa for me on
those cold winter evenings.  She had some really great stories that kept
me enthralled.

Welcome to the ward.

My point is that I don't care *at all* about what happens to the

sorry that your new found hero is to be so short-lived, Jeff.  I just
don't care about the family and I hate the fact that DOOL is wasting

Yeah, but it's the Bradys and Hortons that I care about.  As for the
Scoffields, I only really care about Brian and Cassie -- and I only 
care about her because she was so unceremoniously forgotten by TPTB -- 
no other reason -- I hate inconsistecy.  If they said she'd been hit 
by a truck and died, I wouldn't care about her anymore, either!  I 
just hate not knowing.  I suppose that if the Lombards slowly worked 
their way into things, I might grow to care for them but they've been 
at the forefront from day 1 and I'm still unmoved by them.

As for Vern, again I repeat, yuck.  :-)

Well, the cut doesn't bug me as much as the color, but I think
this *would* be really cute on her. Kinda pixie-ish. She could
definitely carry it off.

And I agree with the comments about Dixie's hair - DEFINITELY
lighter. She's getting pretty tan, too... I hope it's makeup.

Bale blue? Now that's an interesting shade! :}:}:}:}:}

OK.  I know we've all said this before, but.....

WHY IS STUART WEARING LONG SLEEVE SWEATERS IN LATE JULY?

Give us a break!  David Canary is a good enough actor, who has
been doing both of these roles long enough that WE DON'T NEED
A SWEATER TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADAM AND STUART!

If you want to differentiate via clothes, fine.  Give Stuart
a polo shirt!  Or at least a sweater vest.  But lose the
long sleeve sweaters already!  He even wore one under a suit
not to long ago!

I'm sorry.  With all the massive continuity errors lately this is
probably pretty minor.  But I think both David Canary and the 
viewers are being sold really short here.  I mean why don't
they just go ahead and give them biiiiig nametags if they
think we're that stupid?

Sorry.  I guess I just needed a good b*tch.

Yeah.  She looked sooo pretty in that white negligee last week.  Why couldn't
they have dressed her in something pretty and flowing like that?  I realize
she's not the "slinky" type like Erica, but what she has on looks like a 
rejected sample from the "Ugly Bridesmaid Dress" company.  Maybe it has
something to do with Weirdwind, some strange law of physics like, "All

You know, it just occurred to me how similar Opal's wardrobe is to Daisy's.
I mean the two are complete opposite as far as body type, but they both
always wear (wore) these long, flowy things.  Actually, since Opal became
Mrs. Courtlandt, her bad taste is confined to ugly earrings and weird hair.
I remember the original Opal wearing hot pink spandex!

Well,

I cannot believe that I was so blind, it is now obvious
why Mailhouse was let go. See, first Bozo, aka Butthead,
aka Boink, enters the police academy, then Brian has all
those troubles because of refusing to arrest Tanner. They
don't have room for that many cops--PlayDooh Man, Abe,
Brian, and Bo--so the writers have to get rid of someone,
and since RKK, is such a great acter and match for the
great Crystal, poor Mailhouse goes. RKK is a little better
without Carly, but I still do not think he works that
great with anyone. He, for me, is sooooo annoying. He
constantly has that same smirk, and cocky expression. YUCK.

Picture this:


Well, on his first day on the job he bullies someone because
he jaywalked across the street. Flashing one of his well
known expressions, and being his typical asshole self, he
pisses of the guy, who takes out a 45 a shoots Boink in
the Southern Hemisphere....Not even the WunderDoktor Coitus
can save Boink (who no longer can claim that as his name).
Since there will be no more flings on poor Chuckie's pool
table Carly leaves Butthead, and takes a job at Eyebrows
'R Us....

     Oh joy, another slightly shady character who'll be reformed by the
love of a good woman. *sigh*  They had 3 characters who managed to
pull this off--Steve, Nick and Jack.  And it wasn't planned really for
any of them to reform.  As I recall, Steve and Nick were both supposed to
be short-time-slime.  But the actors in all these cases were so good
that they upset the plans, got reformed and stayed on.  But now, they're
doing their rogues the same way they're doing their romance.  The guy
is brought on as slime and his love/reformation is plotted out months
in advance, whether the audiences like it or not, like with Hawk.  And
from the little I've seen, that's who Austin reminds me of, is Hawk.
They may not really look alike, but they're the same type, if you
know what I mean.  And preppy too.  Bleah.  I wanna move to New
Zealand!

YES,YES,YES!!!  Over the years, I have loved or hated Alex--I suppose
that is a tribute to Beverly McKinsey.  However, right now, I am moving
towards wanting to swat her face!  First of all, when she and Nick have
a conversation--his answers are hostile and arrogant--instead of doing
the incharacter "Alex" thing, she just dismisses it and pretends as if
he is speaking to her and swetly as she is gushing to him--it is SOOOOO
tiring!  Okay, so she loves her son and wants his love--but what about
some backbone here Alex!  And, as for Mindy--well, those writers better
wake up here and audition an excellent replacement for her (Krista
Treseau if possible) and get Mindy back into the picture.  Nick's
storyline is doing a major nosedive as far as I am concerned.  Eve is NO
match for him--sheis a pain in the butt!  Give her to Fletch and get him
away from Van--that match is pretty boring too.  Anyway, to really keep
in the Nick character (like when he still wanted Mindy after Alex aired
her dirty laundry)--we need to see him continue to want to marry
Mindy--it is TOOOOO bad Kimberly Sims walked out of the contract but
you'd think those writers could have worked it out better.  Well, let's
see who she ran into at the station--let's hope IT IS Alan (and that
they replaced him with a good "Alan"--SOD suggested Terry Lester--I love
the idea!!!)
and they team up to do a real number on Springfield--and I just love the
idea of Alan with Holly.  Sounds like a great Fall storyline.  I haven't
posted for awhile so I guess I overdid it.  Toodles.  Judi

Yeah, there was some mention around the time when Blake was getting ready
to marry Phillip that they used to play together as kids or something.  I
always thought Blake was closer to Phillip's age, too.  I'm not sure which
one I dislike more, either.  I mean how old IS Ed, anyway?  I can remember
