Hi!  Just thought I would share a few things I've read in the
Soap Opera Magazine and the Star.

First though, I'd like to say that I'm glad to read that the AMC
posters in Florida are okay.  Is there anybody on this net that
is from Louisiana?  Are they okay?  I'm also watching the show
"48 Hours" that is doing their show live from Florida and
Louisiana while I'm typing this, and the scenes that they are
showing about the devastation there is incredible - my heart and
prayers go out to these people - it really brings tears to your
eyes. 

Now for some AMC stuff - - - - - - - -

From the Star:

As mentioned on this net before, in September, AMC will be
sending Erica, Dimitri, Angelique, Edmund, Brooke and Helga to
Budapest, Hungary, to shoot romantic adventure segments.  The
scenes are set to air during the November sweeps.  (Personal
note:  I'm Hungarian, so I'm excited about this because I've
always wanted to go to Hungary but I'll probably never get
there.)

Also from the Star:

*****************************************************************
From the Soap Opera Magazine:

Did you know?  Ruth Warrick (Phoebe) teaches a religion class at
the Unity Center in NYC.

Jill Larson (Opal)
Jill Larson suffered torn leg ligaments after stepping in a
pothole, but quickly got back on her feet after an amazing
treatment by a psychic healer.  Following the accident, Jill
first sought help from a therapist who treated her with low-level
electric charges, claiming they'd speed up the healing process. 
When that did not work, Jill went to the psychic healer.  Within
two days, the treatments had her back on her feet.

John Wesley Shipp (Carter)
He's been so busy working on AMC by day and appearing in the
Broadway play "Dancing at Lughnasa" by night that he never has
the time to sit down and eat a decent meal.  However, his friend
Lana came from L.A. to visit and noticed how bare his cupboards
were and cooked up a storm leaving him frozen portions of pasta
primavera, shrimp, beef and mashed potatoes, meatloaf and
homemade potato salad so he can pop them in the microwave after a
hard day at AMC.

Tonya Pinkins (Livia)
She hired an au pair girl to look after her children this summer
but things didn't work out.  She found out the girl is French, a
great swimmer and a vegetarian just like her husband Ron.  She
said "I may have gotten someone to take the kids to the
playground but I would have probably lost my husband to her in
the bargain."  Also, after paying the $3,000 airfare with her
credit card for the au pair girl, the girl decided she didn't
want to work in NJ but preferred the excitement of NY, so there
Tonya was with the bill for the plane fare and nobody looking
after the house and children.  Tonya plans to cancel her credit
card charge and let the agency that found this girl worry about
the expense of bringing her here.

REMEMBER WHEN:

FIVE YEARS AGO......Cliff Warner decided to leave Hong Kong and
return to his wife Nina in Pine Valley.  Enroute, he stopped in
South America to drop off some medical supplies to a friend of
Matt's then he disappeared.  Nina was frantic when Cliff never
arrived home and she and Matt began searching for him.  After a
tip that an American doctor had been spotted at a small village,
she and Matt traveled to South America, but their hopes were
dashed when the doctor turned out to be a man named Peter Haas. 
He revealed that Cliff had been killed by rebel bandits during a
train hijacking and his body was thrown in a river.  A shaken
Nina asked Matt to take her home.  Nina planned a memorial
service for Cliff but her family was worried because she still
hadn't shed a tear for the husband she loved and adored.
*****************************************************************
Some of my own thoughts:

Did anyone notice the tie Charlie had been wearing when he took
Erica to NYC?  I thought it was pretty cool - he probably
borrowed it from Porkchop!  Also, I like this new Charlie - at
first I couldn't take those teeth, but I really like his
character - he has sort of a Tad-ish way about him.

Speaking of Charlie - has anyone seen the commercial for a new
show called "Going To Extremes"?  I saw one of the commercials
today and saw that Julie's Charlie (Neil Patrick Duncan - did I
get his name right?) will be playing of all things, a doctor!

The new Nat is like a double of Galen - even when she talks she
sounds just like Galen!  I really don't want to judge her until
those big bug bandages come off her eyes.  Also, I'm also
surprised Timmy hasn't been to visit her, or even Jeremy!

Also, one of the posters asked about the name of the song played
on AMC when Trevor and Natalie danced at their wedding.  The name
of the song is "You and I" recorded by Michael Feinstein.
*****************************************************************

A non-AMC question but a CAT question - about a month ago,
someone on this net (sorry, I neglected to keep this post and the
name of the poster) wrote about a flea comb for their cats. 
Could you please e-mail me - I have a few questions and need to
know how effective this is.  Thank you!

Well, until next time.................................hope you
all enjoy these little tidbits - maybe you can let me know,
because if you don't care about this kind of stuff, I'll stop
posting it.
