Summary: Well, maybe not so great - and maybe not so thoughtful
Keywords: GREAT, THOUGHTS, MINE -- ALL MINE


Various insightful commments (and/or cynical remarks)

(things that are more TANgential are at the end of the list - if you
respond to something that's TANgential - remember to put TAN in the
subject line.

     Okay - let's have a vote.  Did anyone else like Gloria's hair.  I
don't think it's good for 'everyday' wear but I thought the style was
very old-fashioned and romantic.

     He could just really sincerely LIKE Erica.  I can think of some
exs that I might do something like that for.  And I think I would be
like Charlie - if you want to use me FINE -- just be up front at first
and I'll play along.  Hmmm, maybe I'm beginning to like the new
Charlie.

Well, lately it has been worse than usual.  But I also remember
reading (here?) that AMC has a new head writer (someone that was on
their writing staff already) and it might take a while to redraw the
maps and the calendar.

     Don't you know what that IS!!!!  That's the cue to pick up the
remote control and hit the FF button :^)

HEY -- QUESTION for all you LADIES out there.  How many people were
DROOLING when they saw Jack and Edmund together in those white tuxes?
I mean - were talking SERIOUS YUM here.  YOWSA!!!!!  { Oh - am I being
sexist again -- sorry - I meant to say that I thought that Jack and
Edmund looked particularly handsome in the formalwear - yeah that's
what I meant to say }

     Hmmm, is that the same as saying "vote for Clinton" :^) :^)

     Well, often times there's a lag time between the time something
gets posted at one site and the time that it actually arrives at
another site.  It's not that people AREN'T reading the posts, it's
just that they haven't been ABLE to read a post that hasn't shown up
at their site yet.  Also - sometimes people don't have the TIME to
read ALL the posts.  It's all just part of life on the net.

     OH MARGARET - might this belong on the FAQ list?  It seems to
come up every couple of months or so.

WELL -- at least s/he didn't say bon bons :^) :^)

OH YEAH -- Alex now that you're sitting home with the baby I trust
that you spend the ENTIRE afternoon sitting in front of the telly
eating bon bons while little Jeremy Phillip sleeps all day?

NOT!!!!
