Ok me too. I sometimes cry tears (*some* times :-)), and Lila my cat
comes over and wants to know what is up. I sometimes laugh out loud
and she looks at me too. A couple of times (must have been I either
predicted correctly OR something happened that I wanted to), I yell
"YES! YES!" and Lila really wants to know what's going on then...

I must admit this Density on the Danube storyline is *almost* sickening,
after all! :-)(! I am surprised but to date, I've seen no one comment
on Erica's cleavage in her Hungarian dress! Well, it's certainly *there*
:-) AND i am getting a kick out of Dimitri in his Hungarian get-up too!
He must feel like a fool in that thing. He looks like a Prince Charming
wannabe! The Tights! If and when he gets an erection, I am sure Erica will
feel it and WE might see it! :-) That costume is way too dainty for Dex
Dexter :-). And the storyline is pretty close to ridiculous after all
(at least the scenes I've seen so far, except when we are seeing Budapest),
with the candles and the dinner and how much he loves her. too corny.
They really didn't have to push it that far but IOAS. So are yall
happy that Jack and Angelique finally went to bed? One minute they're

I agree.  He should win something in the "Best Kid Actor" category on
the next soap awards.

All right!!!!!    I've liked Ivan for some time now.  Besides his cool
suits, which I am very much envious of, Ivan knows just how strong to
play his scenes.  He doesn't steal from the leading actors he works with,
but enhances them.  He is also remarkably subtle and sometimes you almost
miss some of his funny lines.  

Hey Marcus, do you think Ivan drinks Rolling Rock??  Probably Becks, or
amybe Grolsch.  :-)

Don't laugh - I think her mom does do it - at least last year when it
was rumored she was leaving - some of the rumors got started because
she was suspending her newsletter (supposedly because her mom didn't have
time to edit it).   As far as fan clubs - I think it's
mostly soap actors who have them - but then of course there are the Star
Trek fan clubs.  And from what I gather Diedre Hall at one point had
a couple thousand members in hers.

Well, as I was perusing the latest edition of Star magazine last

suffering from some kind of ulcer. The Dennis that Laura refers
to (ummm, I forget his last name...was it Palermo?) was referred
to as ex-Michael, OLTL. I only watch LOV once in a great while,
so I haven't seen the replacement yet, but for you OLTLers, is
this the same guy who played Michael Grande? I can't think of
any other Michaels.

  I had my first glimpse of "Density of the Danube" yesterday.  My first

HOMEMADE REMEDIES FOR HEALTHFUL LIVING
======================================

An apple a day, 
Good health, they say.
Want something sweet? 
Buy raisins to eat.
If you crave a good stew,
Peaches will do.
For the "hungry room,"
Use the good old prune.
For digestion repairs,
a pair of good pears.
To grow fat and big,
Eat plenty of fig.
To be tall and thin,
Lemons, --outside and in.
Good orange juice,
Turns bacteria loose.
Loganberry phiz,
Cures old rheumatiz.
To cure the toothache,
Get a banana to bake.
If you've got the lumbago,
Eat a nice ripe tomato.
Now death will forget us,
If we eat plenty of lettuce.
If your sweetheart you meet,
Rub your face with a beet.
If you want to be merry,
Partake of the cherry.
For the St. Vitus dance,
Eat plenty of cants.
If your nerves are unstrung,
Eat celery, --a ton.
If you've been working too hard,
Eat lots of rhubarb.
We could continue this rhyme,
But we haven't got time.
So as this is the last,
Eat nothing too fast.
P.S. To avoid any bunions,
Eat plenty of onions.

Sorry.  In the Accused, Jodie foster's character was gang raped on a
pinball machine.  Not seduced by her fiance on a pool table.  There
was absolutely nothing in that scene that resembled The Accused.
Jodie was held down against her will and raped by strangers on a
pinball machine.  Bo and Carly made love to each other in a poolroom/bar.

First of all, since it didn't happen in a poolroom, the point is
really moot, but for argument's sake lets say that Jodie Foster's
character was raped on a pool table.  Does that mean that all pool
tables now symbolize rape?  Be serious.  

>I also have a real problem with Chrystal(l)'s common sense if she doesn't

Lets assume for a minute that I agree that this scene and this film
remind me of one another. Do you think that because one film portrays
a woman being raped in a bar, that sex scenes in bars is forever after
taboo?  Thats ridiculous.  Even if it isn't ridiculous, what better
way to reverse the taboo than to show a positive sex scene in the a bar?

But you know what?  Crystall's common sense really doesn't matter does it?
She doesn't get paid to be sensible.  She gets paid to entertain.  
She's obviously entertaining someone, even if it isn't you.


Really.  I'm starting to wonder about this group.
