   Yup, heat vs. common sense..... yup, got me one of them thar annoying
things wondering around in my life at the moment.  On the one hand I'm
seeing two very available, very stable, wonderful, kind, educated, etc.
etc. etc. men with all of the qualities I have always wanted in a man
wrapped up in reasonably decent packages.   On the other hand, there's
my buddy.....unavailable in all the important ways even though he's
unattached, but damn can we generate the heat!  I love a man with a
sense of humor who considers intellectual sparring a necessary social
sport and this character could hold the gold medal spot for life.
When it finally does get down to the old pheromone phrolic......
 
    Whoa there, can't hardly think of way to explain to the Director why
my keyboard melted....but you guys know what I mean.

    So, until I can make a responsible decision about healthy relationships,
or my buddy finally realizes who his true soulmate is, or one of the other
candidates discovers that life can be wonderful when a little wild abandon
is added, or, last but not least, hell freezes over, I guess I'll just
be glad that I'm keeping myself comfortably single and unattached.

Someone help me out here -- I read that the actress that played Sharla
(Tichina Arnold...I think?) was Gordon's daughter.

So does this mean AMC had TWO generations of an acting family on the
soap?

Actually....maybe it wasn't the one who played Sharla...but SOME black
actress is his daughter.  Can anyone confirm/correct me?

I think it's a good idea.

I personally watch Y&R, AMC, and OTLT.  It's kinda hard to catch up
on stuff (cuz of school and work) when you have about 1000 listings to look
through.


Just my personal opinion though.

I don't think it really applies... Alice Grant was a relative too, Susan
Moore's aunt (Heather's mom).  And I don't recall exactly how Alan ended
up with custody of Jason... probably after they wrote Alice Grant off
after admitting to killing Diana Taylor to protecting Heather.  I think
Alice got some kind of community service or something out of it, instead
of a prison sentence, but it's been so long, I don't quite remember.  I'll
have to check the GH stuff in the soap book I have.

I tried to email you but your address bounced, Beverly.  Here's
what I wrote to set myself up for many flames:

In another post, I said I watched AMC for several years and got fed up
with its pace and overall negativity.  How many backstabbing,
conniving, bad characters can one town have?  From Liza to the Nazi to
Adam to whomever is today's villain.  The lies are astounding, and no
one on the show seems smart enough to ever notice.

And how many relationships start falling apart the *minute* either
person shows one iota of happiness?  Has there ever been a happy,
loving, long-lasting relationship on that show?  Maybe now with Palmer
and Opal, and Joe and Ruth (but they hardly count because their
relationship is rarely explored).

After seeing the great acting and full-blown personalities of SB,
I realize how drab the AMC characters are, for the most part.
Personalities are not explored, just situations.

Re: pace -- How long did Natalie sit in the well?  How long is it
taking Erica to regain her memory?  How long is it taking Tad to see
anyone he knows?  (And the only reason I know about these stories is
because my parents give me an earful to "keep me informed," trying to
get me back to watching the show.)

Please don't take my criticisms as a personal attack on you or
any other AMC fan.  I used to be one, but I just can't take it
anymore.  I'm glad you get enjoyment out of it -- I just get
frustrated.

Nice comments welcome, flames to /dev/null...

I thought today's episode was great:

First of all, the acting was excellent, IMO.  It was a very emotional episode
and I liked it.  The scene between Tony and Dom was amazing. Her grip on her
emotions was great.  The writers have done a great job over the past few weeks.

Second I loved the banter between Paul/Jenny v.s. Tracy/Marco.  It was very
comical.  I can't wait to see how this fight turns out.

Actually, the lines "Now you will feel no rain, etc" is from the Apache
Wedding Poem and I think whoever wrote "The Journey" for Jack and Jenn
on DOOL "borrowed" some of these lines for her poem almost 2 years ago.  

I have the whole thing somewhere but the first few lines are:

Now you will feel no rain
For each  will be shelter to the other
Now you will feel no cold
For each will be warmth to the other
Now there is no loneliness...

If I find it, I'll post it.

Alot of people have been asking where and how Adam is going to 
book a hall in less than 2 months.

Isn't the wedding going to be at the Chandler estate?  Seriously,
with enough money you could probably pull off a wedding in a couple
of months.  Hell, Adam and Gloria put together a big benefit bash
in what?  2 days?  And everyone in PV was able to be there too.
I don't know about PV, but my weekends usually get booked at least
2 weeks in advance.

The thing that amazes me is that Adam, head of a multi-billion dollar
conglomerate, acting CEO of Enchantment can fit in *personally* 
planning a wedding while in the middle of a custody battle.

Don't get me wrong.  David Canary is one of the best things ever

I'll second (or third?) that.  I'm sure the writers saw great social significance

I'm really glad to see that at least one other Inmate likes Mary Kay Adams.
Remember how enthusiastic I was when we first heard she was joining the show?
I've always liked her A LOT (No kidding, Jo?  No one would have guessed!)  I 
think she's beautiful in a completely unconventional way, and there's something
about her carriage and body language that I find really intriguing.  Also, she
maintains that slightly cynical attitude perfectly.  My kind of lady, for sure!
She manages to create characters that I'd actually like to meet.

I just joined this newsgroup and I have found it very helpful and interesting.
I hope I am not ruining anyone's suspense and if I am I am very sorry.  If you
don't want to know when Tad will get his memory back and want to be surprised
STOP READING NOW!!!

For everyone else interested, over Christmas vacation when I was at home, one
morning I was watching Good Morning America (not a daily thing) and Michael
Knight was on the show.  He told whoever is the host of GMA that he would get
his memory back and/or meet someone who actually recognizes him during the  
first week in February.  So I figure that Tad should have his memory back in 
the next week or so.

Keep up the good postings.  They help to keep me informed when I miss the show.

AnLi's role in this scene annoyed me like crazy!  First of all, she can't
act for beans.  Second, she never has anything particularly great to
say, she's solely there to prevent Terrance from having to talk to a
wall while Brian is tied up with Dixie.  

But I did like Terrance and Taylor together.  Both can REALLY act,
and I have to give Taylor credit for displaying talent I didn't
know she had.  It's a lot easier to play a rich brat than it is to play
somebody with a passion...

I just want to say that I have been watching DOOL for approx. 15 years and the
show just hasn't been the same these past couple of years.

Jack and Jenn used to be so great together.  Now they are just miserable and
whining all the time!  

As for Jenn and Carly,  if they profess their undying friendship for one
another one more time,  I think I will throw up!  If you really have a best
friend you shouldn't have to go around and say "Oh, your my best friend in the
whole world, etc. etc. etc."  It just makes me sick.

I'm incredulous at the number of people who have had several of these
things happen to them.  I mean, I can check off some of the items on the
list myself (I was followed, I saw some guy staring at me in the park 
and masturbating, and I may have been groped on the subway [the car *was*
pretty crowded and it *may* have been accidental, but then again, the guy's
aim was pretty damn good and it happened a few times]) but I always 
attributed it to New York City living, and figured things like this 
wouldn't happen in the burbs or rural areas.

My question is this: how many of you out there who have had some of
these things happen to them are city-dwellers?  How prevalent is this
type of behavior in more "traditional" areas?
