I like this idea, too, and I agree with most of your observations about
the women of Springfield.

Julie's last name, however, is Camalletti.

I just realized that Mallet's name is not just a nickname.  They call him
Detective Mallet, so he must have really changed his name legally to
A.C. Mallet.

I really can't believe Brian!  He just really seems like he never 
cared about Hayley at all.  Maybe its different for guys (no flames!)
but I just can't see getting over someone you just wanted to marry
that fast.   Sure, Hayleys been annoying but if he really loved her
as much as he claimed....   Oh well, quit knit-picking, IOAS.

A question that I can answer! (sort of).  The way old Frantic (red-head)
dated him for awhile, but she broke it off, I can't remember why.  Things
really ended when he got shot by Douglas Cummings as he tried to rescue
Kimkabob and Frantic.

Not that it matters, but Frantic and Kevin (that's his name, I forgot to
mention it before) had "their song"--it was "I'm on Fire" by Bruce
Springsteen.  Why do I remember such useless info?

Hi, folks -

This is just a quick note to everyone that I'm alive and well but even
more bogged down by work than the past two weeks combined.  I'm happy
to notice that Unyon seems to have abandoned her scheme to wrench my
title away from me...smart girl!  :-)

Tim, I'm *very* sorry to hear about all your mail problems.  Nothing
I've sent you has bounced back so I don't know what to say.

I'm way behind in followups and in correspondence...please forgive me.
I've just got tons of work.  AND, my mother and sister are arriving in
town tomorrow evening and I'm going nuts trying to get everything done
that needs getting done before they get here.  A lot of you don't know
this but my sister (17) has been living with me this past year and has
been "home" all summer and is returning for her senior year of high
school -- living with a teenager is probably the primary reason for 
anything in any post of mine that appears to be "over the edge".  My 
mother will be here for at least a month and I'm already stressed.  

Well...thanks for reading...I'll be back as soon as I can.

JoJo the Lemonhead.

I was also hoping for them to be on opposite sides.  They
work so well off each other when they've done it in the
past.  Mason and Julia are two of the best actors on the
show.  I am really upset that Katrina is getting more airtime
then Mason and/or Julia.  Well with Mason represting Sawyer
we will at least see more of him.  But what about Julia?
With this going on no wonder she doesn't want to resign.
Let's go SB, give us more of Julia.
Speaking of Dreyfuss, they made a big deal about him coming
over to the Capwell mansion and we haven't seen him since.
Dreyfuss and Rosie are great together.  Let us see more of
them also.  Especially with Mason and Julia living at the
mansion, you think he would be around more.  But I guess
since we don't get to Mason and Julia, we don't get to
see Dreyfuss and Rosie.

Okay, I'm done complaining.  But I do feel better.

I agree that Livi is being ridiculous here, but on the other hand, so was
Tom.  How many of you can suddenly take two weeks off from your job with 
no notice?  Don't you figure she had clients scheduled?  And how many health
club conventions do you figure have conventions that last *two weeks* ... 
maybe 3 days would have been more realistic.

I don't think she will be around Lucas necessarily, but it is to show how
hesitant she is to be with Tom [even though I think it was badly staged].

  I believe that Felicia should tell Jenna sthat Lorna is her sister,
  and this, just before Lucas dies.  Jenna should run into Lucas's
  room and yell "Dad, tell me it's not true" and thus giving Lucas
  his final "Push".

  Yes.  He does need to be cared for (HAH!) and I think that they

  I don't think he should.  I also think he will not get caught,

Well, now that you ask, I would love it if Lorna and Kevin got together
and really "rocked" Bay City (maybe Chicago too!).  I feel that they
would be very good together.

I would also like for Jenna and Dean to break up, and pair Jenna up
with an older man (any ideas??) and Dean with maybe, say, Hannah.

I would like to see Jamie and Kelsey get married, have triplets, and
make room for someone else to take up air time on the show!!  However,
I believe that we will find out that Kelsey was involved in some
very complicated love triangle in the past, and that this affair
will surface somewhere in the near futur and wreck all their chances
for happiness.

I could go on and on, but I guess I'll stop now.

Well, actually Erica didn't start Tempo, at least not originally.  When 
she was married to Jeff Martin (hubby #1), she began her modeling career. 
I remember when she was supposed to appear on the cover of Tempo as a new 
up-and-coming hot model, but then something happened to prevent that - I 
don't remember what, probably some big news item that preempted her cover 
appearance.  She was of course devastated.  I think that Jason Maxwell was 
in charge of Tempo then.  I'm pretty sure that at some point Tempo folded, 
and maybe it was Erica that resurrected it at some later date.  I followed 
the show pretty closely 1970-75, then it was sporadic until I joined the VCR 
generation around 1984 or 85.

I agree with Marcia; the only aspect of Charlie that is still bothering me is
that he is *supposed* to be quite young, and the actor is obviously not in his
early 20's.  I have noticed that the writers seem to have toned down the youth
jokes (remember all those idiotic barbs Adam threw at him when Charlie & Erica
were lunching?).  Otherwise, I too see a Tad-like personal emerging.
