Wait a minute here Joanna, I thought I had debs on the blue and yellow
pills.  I promised to give the chartreuse pills to Spud.  Hey, sorry
dear sweet sis lemon......I was just informed that there are turquoise
and then again there are blue and yellow pills.  Spud, I'm not quite
sure which are stronger though, the pretty blue and yellow ones or the
turquoise ones.  Let me know if you decide to switch and I'd be more than
happy to give you the turquoise ones if you like.

Well, in these days I think the "walking down the aisle" has taken on new
meaning.   It signifies approval* of the marriage from the father and is 
sort of a "goodbye".    I would say that it would even be nicer if both
the bride's parents would walk her down the aisle.   At my wedding all
four parents were incorporated later on, to light the unity candle.   

Anyway, I really shouldn't have said "given away" because that does 
imply property.   I think a more appropriate term today would be 
"Seeing the bride off."

*Not that a woman should HAVE to have her parent's approval, but it is
nice.

I'm with you here!  I think Stuart's a real sweetie, and he deserves

though.

You wouldn't bore us.  Post away!

Just one more thing... some of your lines were a little long (I edited

show beyond the 80th character in a line, so please remember to use 
carriage returns every 72 characters or so.  Thanks!

I remember it, and I guess that is why I, too, am leaning this way.
I just can't picture a Tad/Haley romance, and I hope that if they
get Tad and Dixie back together that it revives her character.

I also remember back even farther when Tad and Barbara shared office
space and had so much fun together. If they bring back Travis and
Barbara, (I don't even want to think about Bianca) I hope that we
get to see T&B interact some.

This was very LAME, however...it's also what Bo did after Hope died.  He
went out, got drunk, and went to bed with Emmy.  I was just waiting for
some bimbo (aka Billie) to walk up to him and have them both end up in
the sack.

100% agreed.  I couldn't believe that he didn't think for a minute about
how Nikki might be.  Even if he's so mad at Carly that he can't bring 
himself to care about what her son might be going through, Nikki is 
supposedly ShawnD's best friend.  Shouldn't Bo be a little concerned?

And, gee...wasn't RKK incredibly convincing as someone who'd downed

knew better than to commend his performance on Monday.  Didn't I say

This fake
pregnancy/fall down the stairs and lose the baby thing has been done to death!!
Are there any soaps that haven't used it??  (Even the ex Ryans Hope did it!)
Really, I think that writers should come up with something a little less
predictable!

YES! YES! Finally the fireworks start to happen on all fronts! I didn't

Dull, dull, dull! :-P Cut to them taking separate cold-showers with one
of those divided-screen-stupid-cams. Man, when are the writers going to

As for Bill in drag. *Pathetic*! Things have been going downhill for
this character ever since the braniac writers tore him from his
working-class roots. I've never been a huge Luke fan but I liked Baker
Boy Bill the moment he showed up. Finally, a character who has to work
for a living in Port Charles! What a concept!

I agree this sounds like a fun relationship.  Marco's character is
so similar to Scott's (at least back when Luce had her grips on him)
that it seems like they could become Scott/Lucy reincarnate...

I wonder what Scotty's gonna do with all this info he's come up with
on Lucy.  He knows now that she was involved with the art theft.
Will he go to the police, bill, or keep mum??  I expect him to go
to her which will make for a great scene!!

Why doesn't she just confide in big brother?  If anyone could help get
her outa this, its the Haddock.  He'll resort to anything to get what 
he wants and he hates tracy anyway.

I liked Julia's idea to give the tape to Jen.  That's what I'd do, or
at least destroy it!  Why hang on to it?  If Jen's really a good
friend you wouldn't keep that thing around.  Now the question is,
what's the Brat-child (Brenda-ratchild) gonna do with the tape??

Anyone else notice the parallels between the Ned/Jen/Paul triangle
and the Jason/Karen/Jagger one? 

Paul/Jagger: "You know you love me, just admit it!  We're meant to
		be together...blah, blah, blah"

Jen/Karen: "Leave me alone, I love Ned/Jason. blah, blah, blah"

Ned/Jason: "I love you Jen/Karen.  I promise to take you for granted
		and use you for what you are - a plaything!"

...writers, how bout just one of these triangles?  do something
different with the other.

I agree, Nick, its great to see Scotty in the middle of everything
and that he's a good guy again.  Kin is the best actor on the show
right now I think and looks like the writer's have realized this...

Here's my stab at rating the actors/actresses/plot lines:

Actors		Actresses		Plot lines
------		---------		----------
1. Shriner	1. Milandro		1. Felicia/Mac/Stalker
2. Kurth	2. Carson		2. Ned/Jen/Paul/Tracy
3. Reilly	3. McCullough		3. Art Theft
Worst: York	Worst: Wyatt		Worst: Baby Battle

actually, if i remember correctly, reva was fished out of the river by
a minor character named craig or carl or something;  he was shot a
while after that.  i remember seeing him lurking under the bridge and
wondering who it could be only to realize he was new.  i think this is
right.
