Good point.  This was nice.  They struck while the iron was hot, ie they
drove the point home while we still cared enough.  It really was a pleasure
to watch yesterday's show.   When John walked in and "caught" Isabella and
Carly crying I was VERY surprised.  I thought, now they *can't* get out of
this.  There is no way!  I was afraid they'd do something stupid like say
they were upset over the situation in Yugoslavia.  But they did the right 
thing.

And I was shocked when Lisanne spilled the beans to Lawrence.  I was sure
she was going to switch gears mid-way and *not* tell him.

I admit that I too am looking forward to all the stuff dealing with Nicky.

I totally agree.  It is a very powerful story.

*All* of it?  She's had her fair share of good, emotional and sincere
scenes.  What we're seeing now is a bad sample to judge her by.

I laughed at that too.

Awww, poor baby.  Maybe we should all chip in and get Marie a shift key.  :)

See, you just blew your theory out of the water.  I think Patsy's unpopularity
has had a lot more to do with events of the past two years.

I'll give you that one.

Ok, two points for you.

I'll have to check with Rose on this one.

During?  Hmmmm.  


>	I knew RKK was a bust right off the bat...


I was a little slow on that one only because I hated Peter Reckell so much
that I wanted to give someone else a chance.  But now I'd agree.  You have
three points.

Yeah Yeah.  *I* am the true Days psychic.  It is a well-known fact.
So there.  :-P   To my credit I can list....

	- I was the first to voice approval of Desiree
	- I was the first to knock down Scarrie
	- I picked Kim as the hero in the Kayla/Cal mess

There are many others, I assure you.  :)
