	I agree wholeheartedly.  I am just SICK TO DEATH of Carly's
	problem.  Can't anyone in Salem, get married, have a child,
	get sick or pass on without Carly feeling sorry for herself.
	She is the most self centered character on the show.  No
	matter what the function, Carly must bring down everyone
	else.  Has she ever attended a function and enjoyed the company?
	I don't think I can remember one where she actually talked to
	the guest of honor and somehow didn't turn the conversation to
	herself.  I honestly do not understand what this is supposed
	to do for her character or Bo's for that matter.  Is this
	supposed to be some kind of great love story with Bo and
	Carly's love for each outstanding all the hardships a couple
	can endure?!?  Excuse me a second whilst I toss my cookies.
	I HATE Carly, more than any other character on the show.
	She does nothing but pout and feel sorry for herself.
	She could think of it this way, she could be in Isabella's
	predicament.

	Hey, no problemo.  I guess I have a tendency to do it as well.
