Okay you east-coast rats-types -- I have a question for you.
For many many many years All My Children has come on my
television set at 1:00.  Today (Thursday) I forgot to set the
VCR (as usual, thats why I read this group right?) and missed
taping the show.  So I turned the TV on to watch what was
on my AMC tape from a few days back (that I hadn't watched yet)
and at 3:19 on channel 7 -- when General Hospital is usually on --
there was All My Children.  Today's show, not on tape, but on
real tv at 3:19.  I am flabbergasted (sp)?  Palmer & Opal were
in LaMaze and I sat there with my mouth open til 4:00 in disbelief
that the show was on.  Does anyone know why?  (OK, so it took
me a long time to get to the actual question.)

I'm thinking that maybe because of this "Destiny on the Danube"
thing they ran a 3-hour show?  Is that possible?  I've never heard
of a soap doing that.  Or maybe One Live to Life ran out of lives
and skipped an episode.  And everybody checked out of General Hospital
for the day....   I'm so confused, somebody help.

p.s.1:  I would write Tadsky a letter too, but I never wrote a star and
	don't know what to say either.

p.s.2:  does somebody (Margaret?) have a cute "Happy Birthday" graphics
	thing they could email me so I can send it to someone Friday 11/13?

p.s.3:  Welcome back Granma -- nice to see you posting again!

p.s.4:  Is Tracy Benelli, the lurker who recently unlurked, my friend Tracy?
	If so, please e-mail me because I lost your email address!  And
	welcome to RATS!!!!

p.s.5:  I loved the idea of Erica's cabbage patch pin turning into her
	gown.  I almost peeeeed my pants.

p.s.6:  I liked Dimitri's white count pants.  Thought he looked cool.  So
	hire Jackson and sue me, I don't care.  I didn't see a pot-belly.

p.s.7:  This is from my hubby who glimpses at the show:  He wants to know
	what you all thought of Jackson's big old nipples showing in his
	bed scene?  Hubby thinks they are ugly and off-center, and thought
	Angelique probably was getting sick putting her head near his
	hairy-nippley-chest (not to mentioned the licks he gave her too).
	That's from hubby (who is a GUY of course mind you Jackson lovers).

p.s.8:  Edmund is a total wacko.  Time for the men in the white jackets
	to take him away...to the funny farm...where life is beautiful
	all day long (and however that song goes........)

Now that we know Tad's coming back, I thought I'd post a "new and
improved" version of the Pine Valley song I wrote after he left:

	Sung to the tune of "Red River Valley":

        It's been two long years now full of grieving.
        We have missed your bright eyes and sweet smile,
        For you took with you all of the sunshine
        That had brightened our lives for a while.

        CHORUS:
        Tad is coming back from California
        To his fans who have waited so long!
        He'll return now to dear old Pine Valley
        And we'll greet him with cheers and this song.

        As you tried making it on the West Coast,
        Did you fondly remember those hours
        That you spent in the town of Pine Valley
        Wooing Dixie and us with such power?
	<chorus>

        Did you know at the time when you left here
        Just how lonely and bored we would be?
        Did you think of the fond hearts bereft, dear,
        Or the pain you were causing Dixie?
	<chorus>

        For a long time our Tadster we waited
        For sweet Dixie and you to be wed.
        But alas for a while hope had vanished
        For you seemed to Pine Valley as dead.
	<chorus>

        Craig went out after Dixie and wed her,
        But his conning ways soon caused her pain.
        Oh her heart, shall it be yours forever?
        Will she love you when you're back again?
	<chorus>

        For another has come in the meanwhile -
        He is young, and he's causing her joy.
        But perhaps with your coming arrival,
        She will see that he's naught but a boy.
	<chorus>

        Certainly, things are quite complicated.
        You've a son unbeknownst to yourself,
        And his mother has seen several others;
        but the last looks like he'll soon be shelved.
	<chorus>

        A great future of joy has been lighted!
        Now forgotten are sorrows and pains,
        For we'll soon see our own M.E.K. here!
        All our waiting has not been in vain.
	<chorus>

Hope you've enjoyed it.

I think they're still living in Paris.  Didn't they move there so
Melanie could study music with the "maestro" that Palmer bribed to
take Melanie as a student when he was trying to break David and
Melanie up?  Dixie went to spend a few days with Melanie after Will
died.

Budapest is often referred to as the "Paris of the East" -- maybe
it's time for some more location shots of Paris?  I think Dixie is
going to need to visit Melanie again after she goes nuts over losing
Tad *again* because she allowed Brian to move in with her.

Don't you think Vixie more than earned the title of "tramp" sometime
during the period when she was recovering from Will's death and
Craig's deception.  I realize she was supposed to be mentally down
the time, but she did pick up quite a few men in bars.  And Brian
seems to be the first guy to come along.  IMHO she could have
had a little more consideration for her son and her son's half sister
before she just jumped into this relationship.  Of course, no one has
ever given Vixie credit for brains.

Anyhow--GO Haley & Tad!

what to name their baby last season when frankie was pregnant and then
lost the baby right away.  frankie said she wanted an end to the 'family

It was Tax Day, April 15, 1991.  This is how one of the witnesses is the

Nothing's wrong with kissing.  I'm just talking about public decency. 
Doesn't Dixie WORK at the hospital??!?  I would think that out of
professional decency, she wouldn't make out with her boyfriend in public
in her place of employment.

Actually, I don't feel sorry for Hayley anymore.  I'm glad she's not
with Braindead.  My problem is that Ditsie totally talked down to Hayley
and acted as if she were a spoiled child trying to ruin a relationship
because she couldn't have the guy.  Now, I know it might be just a tad
much (pun intended) that I'm asking, but WOULD DIXIE PLEASE
THINK?????????  If Hayley wanted to ruin the relationship, why would she
start now??  Why didn't she do it months ago??

About Bri and Dix as a couple: I think they SUCK because IMO they're
both stupid, they have no chemistry, and it's seems like really they're
just using each other.  Brian uses Dixie for sex, and she uses him to
make herself feel independent.  These two are just generally pathetic.

Rafe and Lisa were around yesterday. Speaking of not having a relationship,
I certainly don't understand theirs. Although Rafe looks better in a

Who is the mystery person with whom the Truckster spoke?  Could it be that
Jack is really alive and the Truckster wants him as his best man?  We know it

friend?  Has the renewed passion between Truckster and Trish made them forget

Kia Ora!
 I wanted to follow up to Vickies followup of one of my "Rape" posts but of
course a huge amount of posts have been dumped since I last read the net.
Please bear with me if you have no idea what Im raving about or could care less
now would be the time to move on.
Onion - I liked the way that you jumped so high but Im afraid you missed the
point of my post. Maybe I wasn't too clear in the way I wrote but Im concerned
that you thought that I was doing an SB is better than Days nyah nyah nyah
thing. I wasn't.
I know that MaryBeth and Matt are good actors - I didn't say that they weren't
in fact the reason that I got so involved with the rape storyline was partly
there convincing portrayals.
My point was - Days ( the writerrs and TPTB) didn't handle the story the way I
would have liked to have seen it handled ( so whats new?)My main beef was the
fact that kayla brought charges against Jack to help her get over the rapeand
then she sold out.I have no argument with the way the story was acted - but the
handling of such a sensitive subject was INMO rough.
One last thing - Onion seems to think that I am not a TRUE Days fan because if
I were how could I have blasphemed so and admitted that I enjoyed an SB story
over a Days treatment. For the record I have been watching Days since I was 12
years old ( thats 19 years next month) and have only recently become a serious
SB watcher. Kix and I watched some of the old Days last weekend and I'll freely
admit that Days used to be  THE soap . I still love it but I try to keep a
perspective and if I think something is shit - I'll say so.
Anyhow - the day Diana Colville leaves is the day I deprogram my VCR.
Sorry to rave like this but I must stand by my OPINION - after all it is only
an opinion. hahahahhahahha

Missed National Unlurking Day, but the social worker in me couldn't
resist coming out today (Yes, nursie tells me I have a multiple
personality disorder.).  The reason they didn't use the term Down's
syndrome is that in BBoob's case it wasn't Down's syndrome.  Down's
syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome in pair #21.

Can't believe that MyFavoriteMarcia doesn't see Braindead lusting over
her every step.  If she did, I can't believe she would be in Yuckdale
much less at the Snyder Farm.  Maybe Seth will fly her back to New York
soon.  Did I see romance budding in Seth's eyes today?
