    Thanks Lisa-Marie!
    
    Dixie doesn't bug me the way she bugs everyone else.  Now Erica, with
    her constant ranting and raving is another story entirely... :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    
    Happy New Year Everyone!
    
    Well, I am a member of the Erica Fan Club, but she has really been
    bugging me with her lying to Jack about her problem marriage to Sadam.
    I mean, really if you are going to marry someone - you don't lie to
    them.  When she was talking to Jack about, she seemed to brush it off
    like it wasn't important.  The show should be a good one today when the
    people start to recover from Jack's Annoucement.
    
    I thought the Wedding was nice, especially with them writing there own
    vows.  I agree, the dress didn't fit right and was weird looking but
    than again she didn't have a heck of a long time to get a decent one,
    never mind the fittings.  Wonder what the cake looks like?  Maybe Erica
    will take a hissy fit and throw it at Jack.
    
    Dianne

    Steph-->  Ya believe it or not Swill, Lanie and DUMB DIXIE are
    related.*^)
    
    I agree with Jackie that Lanie was way out of line with Swill
    I think she should have given him the benefit and listened
    to him considering that she had nothing to do with what
    happened between Creepy, Swill and DUMB DIXIE. *^)
    
    /red-->  I also agree with you that if Brooke is so high
    and mighty and bent on telling the truth she should fess
    up and fix that mess with the Courtland family.
    
    Lisa-Marie-->  I have heard of Dangerous Liasons before,
    but VALMONT I haven't.  Maybe I will also rent that movie
    sometime. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    When is Erica going to learn, the truth allways comes back to haunt
    you!
    
    Tracey, sorry to here you dog has heart trouble.
    
    Lou

    Lou--> My dog is not sick, unfortunately my dog when I was growing
    up is no longer alive.  It is Jackie's dog.  Thanks for thinking
    of me if he was sick. *^)  He did have some problems before he
    had to be put to sleep.

	Happy New Year!

	I am usually a read only noter.  If it wasn't for the updates
	everyday I wouldn't survive.  I don't get to watch often so
	I live for this file.

	I too am usually an Erica fan but, don't agree with her lying to 
	Jack.  I knew she would get caught in the end (as usual).  She
	can't beat Saddam at his own game.

	I received a set of tapes also from Santa and hope to start taping
	All My Kids.  It is just hard to find the time to watch.  Maybe, if
	I tape just Mondays and Fridays.  
	
	Another comment.  I thought Saddam wanted Bry away from Hay and 
	was supporting Swill in his attempt to win her over.  Then he gets 
	ticked at Will for making advances.  I don't thing anyone is good 
	enough for Daddy's little girl.  What did he expect.  Swill to
	call her and see her but, no touching please.  I think Hay is
	starting to like him and it scares her...  I also agree GET RID 
	OF BRY what a waste.  I never liked him from the start.

	Hope to be in here more often.  At least during lunch.

	I wanted to congratulate Bon and Andrea and announce that I
	will have to be included in the Engagement Get Together.(Tried to
	make the last one at the 99, my son came down with Strep Throat)  
	I too received my ring on Christmas Eve.  Steven proposed at the
	Old Stone Church in West Boylston.  It was the most special
	night in my whole life.  I thought we were going to get Pizza.
	Before we finished wrapping and our company arrived.	

	For those of you unfamilar it is a Church that was in the town 
	located where the Wachusett Resevoir is now.  The church has
	been rebuilt and just the outside of the structure exists but,
	it is a beautiful site.  It has always been a favorite spot
	of mine.  Now, it will always be.  We are hoping for a fall 
	wedding outside of the Stone Church.  Busy trying to find a date.

	Wishing all a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
	
	CQuinn

    
    Thank you all for providing descriptions of what sounds like a
    thouroughly HIDEOUS wedding dress.  The Fashion Police regrets that
    her surveillance equipment is all pulled apart as the big tv is
    moved out of the cellar where it will be more convenient for the
    FP, ably aided by the erstwhile Junior FP and the Official FP
    K-9 corps (aka Astro the Airedale) to keep tabs on all the fashion
    foibles in town.
    
    Yes, there is a designer named Geoffrey Beane.  He spells it "Geoffrey"
    instead of "Jeffrey", and added an "e" to his last name, probably to
    impress snooty clients like Phoebe.  It sounds like $$$eara's wedding
    dress was designed by JEFFERY, not GEOFFREY, though!!!!! 
    Congratulations to Steph, who by her description is knighted FP Deputy
    of the Week!!!  Also Steph, stick around for a while, and YOU'LL HATE
    DIXIE as much as the rest of us do before long.
    
    SAdam must have been THRILLED by Jack's proclamation.  Let's all hope
    that this last incident was the last attempt at togetherness between
    Jack and Erica.  The FP has a sneaking suspicion that Erica is going
    to end up with old Dimitri "Mr. Personality" Merrick.  Maybe Jack
    and Natalie will end up together.  They can share the same hair bleach
    and styling gel.....
    
    HEY!  Everyone was commenting about how GROADY that little porkbelly
    $$$eara looked....what about the hunky groom Jeremy???  What was he
    wearing????  How did he look????  Were you treated to any shirtless
    honeymoon scenes????  Inquiring minds want to know!!!!
    
    FP

    
    FP --->  Thanks!  I'm honored! :-)  :-)
    
    Jerm looked HOT as ever!  He was (naturally) in a tux, but for the life
    of me I can't remember it he had tails or not.  Anyone?  In any case,
    the tux was black, a white tux shirt, and I believe the bow tie and 
    cumberbundt (SP?) were subtle silver.  Not lame' - but like silver specs 
    on a white background.  Not the least bit tacky!  He was lookin' FIIINE!
    
    I noticed tho, that Trev and Jerm's "monkey suits" didn't match! Porkchop
    has the black tux/white shirt ensemble, but his bow tie and cumberbundt
    (SP?) were like... I can't think of the right word so I'm going to wing
    this... in an earth tone macrome' floral pattern.  It was fairly subtle,
    but obnoxious none-the-less! :-)
    
    Anyone catch Will's Fashion Faux Pas???  As he came walking out to tell
    Hayley that she's "The prettiest girl here" his cumberbundt (SP?) -
    which BTW was in black, along with his bow tie and tux - was riding up
    ever-so-slightly and the bottom of his WHITE STARCHED SHIRT was sticking 
    out.  Citation time!! :-)
    
    FP ---> I hope your "surveilance equipment" (<--- Too funny!!!) is up
    and running again soon!
    
    --Steph (FP Deputy du Semaine [of the week])
    

    Ahhhh FP, you weren't here when I predicted some time ago that Erica
    and Dimitri would end up together.  I came to this conclusion when they
    had a new opening lineup and Dimitri's picture appears just before
    Erica's.  Previously that position had been reserved for Jack and
    before that Travis.  
    
    /red

    As awful as Ceara's dress was.........my man Trevor's tie was very very
    TREVOR!  If they would have had him in a "standard" tie, I would have
    died!  But true to form..........the tie was esquisite!
    
    Geoffrey's dress was UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY !!!!! And
    it wasn't that there wasn't enought time for a fitting, or for looking
    for a different dress.Ceara picked it out!  She has AWFUL taste!
    
    You were all right....Erica's hair was atrocious!
    
    FP - no bedroom scene with Jerm---yet!  We can only hope that is
    today's VCR looking PLEASURE!
    
    
    Jackie
    

    Here is the update for 1/2.....
    
    It was another good one. *^)
    
    The annoucement is rehashed again as Jackson makes the town
    know that Sadam and Erica are married as everyone is silent
    for a moment as noone knows what to say.
    
    Hay wants to know why she wasn't told as $$$eara makes
    her way over to Erica and congratulates her and wants to
    also know why she wasn't told ither.
    
    Erica is in shock that Jack told as Jerm takes $$$eara
    for the first dance as SAdam and Erica also dance.  
    When the dance is over $$$$eara goes back over to talk
    to Erica on her marriage as Erica does not know what to
    say and runs out of the room to catch her breath.
    
    Jack follows her and Sadam goes to listen to what is
    going on.  Erica is about to leave as Jack tells her he
    had to tell to make her realize it is over.  Erica tells
    him that he did it to hurt her.
    
    Jack denies that and says he couldn't think of any other
    way to get it across to her.  Erica then wants him to
    admit that he still loves her.  Jack tells her that what
    they had is over and she is married now.
    
    Erica does not still want to believe it as she walks
    away and Jack is about to stop her when Sadam shows his
    face!!!!!!!!!
    
    Jack tells him that he is not going after her cause he
    is the last person she wants to see.  Jack then gives
    SAdam a punch right in the gut!!!!!  Way to go Jack!!!!!
    He tells Sadam that he deserves everything that he is
    going to get because Erica does not love him and she will
    get a divorce from him.
    
    SAdam tells Jack that he has won Erica fair and square and
    that Jack can't stand it (that is when Jack popped him)
    and when Jack tells him that and walks away Hay comes over
    and wants to know what is going on.
    
    She is very upset that she wasn't told and tells Sadam that
    she must not be worthy of getting the truth as she leaves.
    Sadam is upset.  SAdam catches up to her and tells her that
    they are married.
    
    Hay wants to know why he is making Erica be married to him
    when she doesn't want to be.  Sadam wants to explain as 
    they are about to leave.
    
    Dimitri is finishing up a conversation with NASTY NAT as
    Helga comes in.  Dimitri is upset with her for not letting
    him know that she has called a couple other times.
    
    He tells her that if she can't accept that he is in love
    with NASTY NAT she should leave WILDWIND!!!!!!!  Helga
    gets a bit nervous and tells Dimitri she will from now
    on tell him.
    
    Mimi overhears the conversation and tells him she was not
    easedropping.  Dimitri then fills her in on Angelique
    and tells her that they were married and she is not in
    the picture and Helga is his mother-in-law.
    
    Mimi feels bad for him as they discuss his nickname of
    being Prince Igor and Mimi is starting to feel a bit
    closer to him as she has to leave for Jerm's reception.
    
    She arrives at the reception and Derick asks how Prince
    Igor is doing and Mimi yells at him not to call him that!!!!!!!
    
    Meanwhile Jack approaches the ever to humble tempo hard
    working insecure journalist Brooke and tells her that
    he owes her a apology.  He also wants to take her out for
    a drink.  He just pushed the wrong button as Brooke 
    lashes out at him and tells him that she did not want to
    see him get hurt, but she can't just forgive him and go
    have a drink with him like nothing happened.
    
    David talks to Jerm as Jerm thanks him for being there at
    his wedding as David tells him that he and Lanie are going
    back to Paris.  Jerm tells him that must be where Lanie
    likes it as David says it is.
    
    DORCA goes to talk to Timmy and starts to talk about good
    old NASTY NAT as Timmy tells DORCA that Dimitri always
    calls NASTY NAT and he should.  DORCA is shocked as he
    tells Timmy really?!?!?!?!?
    
    Jack is getting to be one of the last ones to leave as
    he is toasting all the happy couples and the no good
    out-of-the-scene Livia comes up and offers to treat 
    him to a cup of coffee.
    
    Creepy walks in on DUMB DIXIE and Hotlips having a deep
    conversation on how DUMB DIXIE should work at the hospital
    Creepy is might confused as he wants to know what they
    are talking about.
    
    DUMB DIXIE tells him that she doesn't feel needed anymore
    at the glamorama and she is going to further her career
    by making people up at the hospital.  PPPLLLEEESSEEEEE!!!!!
    
    Creepy tries to tell her that people aren't there to look
    good as DUMB DIXIE pleads her case by telling him that
    when she had Jr. she was looking for someone to fix her
    up.   PPPLLLEEESSSE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DUMB DIXIE has cut her hair yet another few inches, and
    it looks YUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    All of a sudden Palmer comes through with the appraisers
    for her pearl necklace.  DUMB DIXIE is called to the scene
    and Hotlips is left with Creepy.
    
    Hotlips wants to know why he isn't nervous about the 
    appraisers as she figures out that when he broke the pearls
    he got the real thing.  Creepy is on the defense and tells
    her that DUMB DIXIE deserves the real thing and shouldn't
    have to suffer just because a thing like her is blackmailing
    her.
    
    Just then the appraiser along with the gang comes back in
    and is applauding his good taste in the pearls as Creepy
    tells them how much DUMB DIXIE deserves them.  Hotlips
    storms out and looks upset.
    
    DUMB DIXIE then wants to know what happened between them
    as Creepy tells her he told her that she shouldn't be
    working at the hospital.  He and DUMB DIXIE talked for
    a bit as they were kissing before long. *^)
    
    Hotlips then runs to the arms of Dimitri where he is
    trying to console her as she is upset over what is
    happening with Creepy, DUMB DIXIE and her.
    
    Dimitri is trying to comfort her as they end up at the
    Valley Inn where Jerm and $$$eara had there wedding and
    as they are coming in DORCA ends up right in front of
    them and looks stunned.
    
    Jerm and $$$eara shortly before that have left after 
    $$$eara threw the bouquet and none the less I will say
    that of all people Livia catches this.  Tom stares on
    with a smile on his face.
    
    Jerm and $$$eara are in bed kissing and talking of how
    happy they are to be together.  Yes, FP Jerm is without
    his shirt on, but not much out of the covers is showing. *^)
    
    The show ends with Erica on a plane thinking back to 
    what Jack said about Erica being married to SAdam and
    she is saying it is not over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Now she is on a plane and that is probably it for her
    for awhile. Oh NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It looks like this
    could be her way out to make her movie.

    CQuinn ---> Congratulations to you on your recent engagement!! What a
    romantic proposal too!! You ladies all have such great guys!!!

    --Steph
    

    
    Bonnie ->> CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement and best wishes as you
    start the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG process of planning the event.  It's a 
    pain in the butt, but well worth it when all is said and done. 
    
    Where do you plan to honeymoon? (this was one of the 1st things I
    arranged after I got engaged.......HAWAII was terrific! 8-))
                                  
    BjM

    	Congrats!!
    
    	Alexis

    I second the motion on planning that Honeymoon cause
    that was GREAT!!!!!!!!!  You got to get those priorities
    in the right order, Honeymoon first. *^)  
    
    Jackie-->  We agree on something!!!!!!!!!!!!!  $$$eara's
    dress was tacky, ugly and very YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    I had to say it again too. *^)
    
    
    Tracey

    Virginia:
    
    Are you there?  I just wanted you to know that I have taken down Tad's
    pictures in protest of his not being back yet!  I did NOT however,
    throw them away....they are tucked in a nice warm spot just waiting to
    come back on my wall!  ha ha
    
    Steph:
    
    You are tooooooooooo much...I went back andd reread my note and then it
    hit me like a ton of bricks.....you were just kidding.........talk
    about being dense today!  tee hee
    
    
    Jackie
    
    P.S. Congrats CQuinn on your engagement!  I love planning weddings...I
    think I should be in that business....it is FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!

    Jackie,
    
    I'm here!  I've just been so incredibly busy I barely have time to
    read!  Speaking of the pictures of Tad, last week my husband was in my
    cube for the first time ever and he was looking at all my pictures and
    he asked me, "Why are there more pictures of Tad in here than there are
    of me?".  Geez, does he really need to ask?
    
    I am starting to lose hope when it comes to Tad!  I thought he was
    suppose to be making movies but I sure haven't seen him in anything.
    
    
    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!
    
    Virginia

    Just a quick question...
    
    Where the heck did Erica's curls go between when she visited Jack
    the morning of the wedding and when she actually got to the wedding?
    Was she so stressed that she yanked them all out or what.  Geez, what
    an awful do on her.
    
    Jan

    Steven and Gloria have been added to the opening lineup.
    
    Mimi looked beautiful when she was at Dimitri's.
    
    I still get the feeling that Mimi and Dimitri would make an awesome
    couple.
    
    Olivia needs a life, a new do, and some new clothes!!
    
    I liked Dixie's hair.
    
    Trevor spit out a piece of cake while talking to Timmy.
    
    The conversation between Brooke and Jackson was great...it was time for
    the bouquet toss and Jack walks up behind Brooke....
    
    J:  Aren't you going to participate in this 
    B:  Not really my event....How's Erica?
    J:  Do you really care?
    B:  No, I'm just asking out of habit.
    J:  Well, I guess you have a right to be smug
    B:  Why
    J:  Because you were absolutely right - you called I was a fool.
    B:  WAS, does that mean you are no longer a fool
    J:  Go ahead, go ahead and say I told you so
    B:  Jack, I'm sorry that you got hurt again and that's really all I
    have to say.
    			Brooke attempts to walk off
    J:  Brooke, Brooke, Brooke (she stops and turns) We talked about trying
    to be friends - do you wanna have a drink with me later?
    B:  ARE YOU FOR REAL?????
    J:  Bad Idea
    B:  I have tried to be polite.  I've tried to be an adult, to
    differenciate myself from Erica.  I'm not going to have a drink with
    you like nothing ever happened.  Alright?!, and I don't want to say I
    told you so.  What I would like to say is WHAT A JERK!!!
    
    EXIT BROOKE!!!
    
    Great Show!!!
    
    /red

    
    Hey Jan!  I think that after leaving Jack's room at the PVI Erica
    took a swing thru the local car wash... sans her car.  She dilly
    dallied too long in the wax cycle... thus the ELVIRA "DO" from HELL!
    Did you guys all notice that she wore a green sweater with black
    pants to visit Jack, then her dress at the wedding was green on top
    and black on the bottom!?!?!  
    
    Livia's hair was also quite frightful. I think she needs to buy some 
    of those outlet protectors... :-) :-)
    
    The woman Tom brought to the wedding was lovely.  Who was she?? 
    I don't recall seeing her before.  Is she an AMC character, or just
    someone they dug up so ol' Tom would have a date?
    
    /red ---> I agree with you!  Dixie has beautiful hair!
    
    T.G.I.F.!!!
    --Steph
    

    
    Thank you /red, for those observations, especially the conversation
    between Brooke and Puffy the Presumptious.  PUHHHLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSEEE!
    Cut the FP some slack!!!  I'm glad that Brooke told him to stuff it!
    Also, maybe they'll fix up Jack with the woman that he deserves...
    Gloria, the nurse from Hell Hospital.  Keep an eye on your plasma,
    Puffmeister!!!!
    
    Also Roberta, I do agree with you about Mimi.  She's a knockout and
    a good character.  She might make some sparks with Dimitri, but
    he had better then avoid the PV Police station, where that donut
    chowing, java slurping, duo, Trevor and Derek, might accidentally
    shoot him through brain.  They had better stock up on silver bullets!!
    With the mood Trevor's been in lately, he'd probably off anyone who
    took the last honey dip!!!  The FP is sorry that she missed his 
    cake spitting Emmy bid scene!!  
    
    The official FP spousal unit has moved the surveillance equipment out
    of the cellar, so now the FP and the Jr. FP can patrol for violations
    during late night feedings.  We tried to tape today.  Keep your 
    fingers crossed!!
    
    FP

    --Steph-->Her name was Felicity (sp) and I think she's someone they
    just dug up, I don't remember seeing her before.
    
    /red

    Ann my fingers are crossed.  Too bad you missed out on seeing Ceara's
    dress.  Speaking of dresses, I didn't think Lanie's was that great,
    especially considering they live in Paris.
    
    /red=

     Hi all!!
    
    I took yesterday off, so it seems like Monday, even tho it's Friday.
    
    Tracey---->About 20 notes back, you mentioned that Jack hasn't done 
    anything so cold since he sold his enchantment stock to Adam. Just
    one nit...It was Travis who sold his stock to Adam. Jack sold his 
    10% to Ceara, so that she could keep her job at enchantment. This was
    before Erica liked Ceara. SHe thought that she was after Jack, so she 
    wanted Ceara out. Jack got fed up w/ Erica's jealousy, and left
    enchantment, selling his stock to Ceara for two reasons. One, she does
    a good job, and two, because he wanted to get back at Erica. Then Erica
    found out about Ceara's "problem" and they became good friends.
    
    CQUINN---->CONGRATULATIONS!! Isn't it so wonderful being a FIANCE!?!?
    I keep having to catch my self from calling Dave my boyfriend! "Well,
    my boyfriend...uh, I mean my FIANCE...." I LOVE IT! And by the way,
    guys.... I didn't get dinner out on NYE. Dave took me out for PIZZA
    before we went to our party. We were running REALLY late & didn't even
    have time to eat, so I told him I'd take a rain check for this weekend.
    I think we'll go to McQuales overlooking Lake Quinsig in shrewsbury.
    And thanks for yet more congratulations, noters!! 
    
    BJM--->Where have you been? Are you still in my bldg? I guess you're
    bizzy these daze! Stop by & say "HI!" if you have time. I'll be getting
    my ring back from the jeweler ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, so stop by soon! ;*)
    
    Lou--->I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to stop by Wed nite. As I
    said, we were running WICKED late, and I was supposed to meet my sister
    at the party we were going to. We'll be visiting soon!
    
    Trevor's tie was the same one he wore when he married Janet...
    
    More soon....
    
    Bonnie

    Sorry guys I have gotta disagree with DUMB DIXIE's "do" it
    is UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  
    
    Erica obviously went home and took a shower and totally
    like blow dryed her hair straight and did not have time 
    to curl it. *^)  She must have just had time to change
    her clothes to make the ceremony on time.
    
    I liked her hair and I thought she looked GREAT as usual. *^)
    Then again it is just IMHO and I am a ERICA FAN CLUB MEMBER. *^)
    
    Livia looked like she came out of the I-DON'T-KNOW-HOW-TO-
    STYLE-HAIR-SHOP cause she needs some serious makeover
    adjustment.  I think DUMB DIXIE should use Livia as a
    model for her new crusade for mercey helping the helpless
    look good. *^)  LIKE PPPLLLLLLLEEESSSEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Tom's date was a date fill-in on AMC for a wedding.  He
    probably found in her in the unwed already given birth
    going home ward and asked her to go with him to the wedding
    cause I don't think she will be on again. *^)
    
    One more things I do like Mimi too, I think her and Dimitri
    will make a great team together working.  I think she will
    be good with him.  She has looked good lately. *^)
    
    When Jack was telling Erica his reasons for telling all of
    PV about her and SAdam I couldn't belive that Erica
    still wanted to give him another chance!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Then when she was walking away Jack was trying to go after
    her I mean what is wrong with him, either he does not
    want her or he does!!!!!!!!  I think if he was going to
    say that they are no longer going to be together he
    should not care to try to talk to her.  How wishy washy
    can Jack be?!?!?!??!
    
    No wonder poor Erica can't get the message that they
    are through.  Jack does not want to [[really]] let her
    go. *^)  This is just again IMO. *^)

    Bon-->  Thanks for correcting me, cause I do remember that now.
    It was still mean of him to do that to, cause at the time she
    did not like $$$eara ither. *^)  Oh well he still shouldn't
    of announced her unwanted marriage to SAdam in front of all
    of PV. *^)

    MO's:
    
    1.  I agee with whoever said Livia needs a life, new do, and clothes,
    	ugh, if she thinks she was competition for Felicity she better guess
        again!
    
    2.  I think Dixie's hair was AWFUL...if she trying to look older and
    	more matronly?
    
    3.  Mimi's hair at the wedding was REALLY attractive.  I loved it.
    
    4.  Ceara's hair at the wedding was awful also!
    
    5.  Donna's do was like Donna....dowdy as ever.
    
    6.  David's hair was atrocious---wonder why it's that way?  Anyone know
    	what he's doing lately?
    
    7.	Brooke's dress was AWFUL...where is she getting her after 5 clothes
    	lately?
    
    8.  Lanie's dress was AWFUL also, but I chalked it up to a designer in
    	Paris....(I ususally don't like the Paris designers).  I like
    	Bob Mackie!
    
    9.  For as dressed up as Brooke and Lanie were...Livia wore work
    	clothes.
    
    10.	I like the way they are having Timmy follow in Trevor's footsteps,
    	his clothes were just like Trevor's--awful.
    
    11. I like Erica's dress.
    
    12. I like Dimitri and Mimi together...even their names fit!
    
    13. I hope Nat finds a huck o hunko buring love in Aspen, marries him,
    	and stays out there so they can finish this storyline of
    	Trev/Nat/Jan.
    
    14. I'm tired of Gloria and that storyline....get on with it.
    
    
    Gosh, I had a lot of opinions!  Whew  %^)
    
    
    Jackie         

    Anyone know where Erica was going?
    
    Like I said before, its about time she got hers!
    
    And Brooke was great yesterday......Jack is a JERK!  ha ha
    
    
    Jackie  %^)
    

    
    Hi Everyone,
    
    I think Dumbo Dixie has really nice hair, but with the new do - she
    looks like Patty Duke.
    
    Dianne

    Jackie-->  I was wondering the same thing.  She was on a plane
    headed somewhere.  I wonder if she is off to see Bianca?!?!??!
    
    Steph-->  Yep, poor Erica.  If --dc/VALMONT were here he would
    be with me on this one.  Erica gets the royal bad treatment
    from Jack and later on he comes back anyways.  He should be
    one or the other with her.  He knows he loves her, treats
    her cold then softens up.  Get a life Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Erica deserves someone with a bit more backbone. *^)  I do
    like Jack and Erica together in the passion department, but
    Jack doesn't take a even stand.
    
    If DUMB DIXIE cuts anymore of her hair off she will need to
    be in NY finding a wig, PPPPLLLLLEEEEEESSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
    don't start the I-AM-NASTY-NAT-AND-I-AM-GOING-TO-CUT-MY-HAIR-
    BUT-WHOOPS-I-AM-GOING-TO-LET-IT-GROW-OUT-FOR-TWO-YEARS-AND-
    IT-IS-STILL-AS-SHORT-AND-CHOPPY-AS-IT-WAS-WHEN-I-STARTED-
    CAUSE-I-THINK-I-LOOK-BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    NASTY NAT, DUMB DIXIE and $$$$eara all had BEAUTIFUL, healthy
    and long GREAT hair before.  I think AMC is going for the
    new beauty consultants.  Maybe they cut down on the salaries
    and had to settle for this. *^)
    
    Oh well I think I am on a roll for these new do's. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Ladies!  Ladies!  Ladies!
    
    Don't you know... that ULTRA-long hair isn't "en Vogue" any more. The
    new trend is to wear it bobbed, straight, parted on the side, and only
    to the bottom of the ears... or maybe a little longer.
    
    As much as you all dislike Nat and her "DO" --> She's very chic!  Her
    hair looks different all the time.  Dixie's "do" is also very hip, and
    she's lucky that she has so much hair and can wear it that way.  I like
    her hair soooo much better since she's chopped it!  Look around --->
    even Haylo's hair is getting shorter...
    
    Gloria's hair is a damn 6" Roots-rats nest. What an atrocity that is!!
    
    Tracey ---> I think if DC were here he would say that Jack needs a
    healthy smack with the rubber chicken for his ambivalence with this
    Elvira thing.  Get a life PUFFY!!!!!!!  DC would also agree with you
    and your "poor Erica" line.  Where's my BARF BUCKET????  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    I wonder where Erica is headed too.
    
    I wish we had been able to see Hay & Bry meet Allie & Matt. Maybe
    they'll show the foursome at MacKay's today! Hayley & Bry were on their
    way there when Hayley told Adam off. "You better keep your new wife in
    a cage, Adam. I hear that's the only way you'll keep her." They left.
    
    I LOVED Allie's dress. It was just beautiful. It was kind of dazzling
    for the occaision (like Erica's dress), but I guess a formal wedding
    allows room for a wide variety of attire.
    
    Livia's hair looked so awful, my dave didn't even recognize her! He 
    came into the room, and sed, "Who's that?" I sed, "Livia." and he
    sed, "EEESH! She looks like sh*t!" Dave has such a way w/ words
    sometimes. ;*)
    
    I didn't like Felicity for some reason. did I already say that? I
    just thought she was too  happy-go-lucky, and seemed to friendly
    toward Tom if she didn't really know him that well. She danced CIRCLES
    around Livia, who looked...well... see above. ;*)
    
    Well, I'm outta here!
    
    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
    
    
    Bonnie

    
    Hair styles aside, dare I say that Erica has blown it once again.
    She played right into Adam's hands. I loved the look on Jack's
    face when he heard Erica and Adam arguing and realized what
    she did. Jack is a way cool dude, and doesn't deserve the hard
    time he's been getting at all.
    
    Should be interesting to see how she gets out of this one.
    
    /prc, who really doesn't know why he's replying here. 8-)

>>>   /prc, who really doesn't know why he's replying here. 8-)

Wanna know why you are replying here?   Because it is a great file, 
with lots of great people!  And great conversation about a great soap!  :-)


Erica did blow it big time.  She should have told Jack the truth when Adam
gave her the chance too.  After all, he did say he'd backoff if she told
Jackson the truth.

Brooke was right.  Jack is a jerk.  He doesn't know what he wants and can't 
decided what woman he wants, Keeps running back and forth between Erica and 
Brooke.  Maybe he should just buy a bed warmer and blowup doll.  ;-) 
I bet he'd be happy then.  :-)

    HI /prc!
    
    Glad you came to visit with us.............there is great company, lots
    of laughs and lots of love and good friends in this file.  PLEASE stay
    a while!
    
    I can't stand this "poor Erica" thing.  Jack did the RIGHT thing for
    once!  Erica is a boob, she just thinks that the world is on HER axis
    and it isn't true!
    
    I hope she suffers!
    
    She got what she deserves!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Steph:  Altho I agree that short is in, Dixie's hair was too matronly! 
    and Cears looks dirty!  tee hee
    
    All MO's of course
    
    jackie
    

    
    Kinda sorta. Marie refers to the 8+ years I've spent in Soapbox. 8-)
    I'm a closet Children fan. Been watching it since ~1982 or so.
    
    ...and when the heck are they going to re-introduce Tad as the
    poor dude who can't remember who he is? 8-)

    /prc-->  Hi!!!!!! Welcome to AMC please stay out of the closet
    cause this is a GREAT FILE!!!!!!!  None of us will bite you
    cause it is a fun file. *^)  Glad to hear you have been
    one of the loyal fans since 82', do stay awhile. *^)
    
    Steph-->  Glad to know you do agree that --dc/VALMONT 
    would agree with "poor Erica".  Any ERICA FAN CLUB
    member would have to agree.  On the otherhand I am 
    the first to agree that Jack should get a life!!!!!!!!
    I wish he could just make up his mind and stick to
    it.
    
    Even though I enjoy Erica and Jack together. *^)
    
    Now this short hair thing.......granted it may be in
    but be careful now there are a few of us with long
    hair (right Lisa-Marie????) and you can do alot with
    it to keep it in style. *^)
    
    DUMB DIXIE has got to go with that chopped up to her
    slightly below the ears bobbed "do" PPPPPPLLLLLEEESSSEEEE
    she needs more hair to hide her lack of brains. *^)
    
    NASTY NAT has used soooooooooo much CLAIROL that her
    growing out hair of 2 years is soooooooooo damaged that
    we can't tell most of the time what color it is suppose
    to be.  If her hair is in style ppppppplllllleeeesssssseeee
    let my hair ALWAYS stay the way it is. *^)
    
    Now to $$$$eara give this girl a serious body treatment
    with the straight hair trying to hang below her chin 
    with bangs that are longer than her whole head of hair. *^)
    I would have been a bit ambarassed on MY WEDDING DAY to
    have my hair looking in such turmoil. *^)
    
    Let's put paper bags over there heads and then see if
    they can ALL grow there hair out PPPPLLLLLLLLEEESSSSSEEEEE!!!!
    
    These are of course IMHO's. *^)
    
    See ya after AMC. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    I always like Natalie's hair, EXCEPT for that day at the ball when she
    had that SWIRL.  What the H*ll was that all about????
    
    /red

    
    Long hair is still in! I should know, I have long hair. 8-)

    /prc-->  Can you tell me what does the prc stand for?!?!?!?!?
    Or is it something you don't want to tell?!?!?!?!?  At first
    I thought maybe initials, but naaaaaa. *^)

    Bon, I moved out of MR4 right before Thanksgiving and started a new 
    job in Boxboro.  Hopefully, I'll have an opportunity [someday] to 
    stop by and see all the great folks I left behind!
    
    Again, best wishes to ya .... oh, you didn't answer my question about
    the honeymoon.....Any ideas on where you'll go?
    
    
    Just MO's:
    
    -- I too, think Dixie shouldn't have cut her hair AGAIN....it does look
    matronly!
    
    -- That wedding dress was disgusting and made $$$eara look FAT, FAT,
    FAT!
    
    -- I kinda feel bad for Erica, but as has been said, she SHOULD HAVE
    TOLD JACK and she wouldn't be in this mess.  In fact, she should have
    told Jack BEFORE the 'wedding'.......he probably could have gotten her
    out of it somehow.   Sorry, Erica, you blew it!
    
    -- I think Mimi is softening up to Dimitri....it won't be long before
    she's defending him to Trevor and Derek like she did when she told them
    to stop calling him Prince Igor!  They would make a good couple though.
    
    -- Re; David's hair.  I actually liked it...well, it was better than
    the other do that made him look like a highschool nerd!  Now all he 
    needs is an earring ha ha ha.
    
    -- Good for Haley.....if anyone can get to Adam it's Haley!
    
    -- Re; Livia:  Her do was right out of the 1920's and looked terrible!
    Good for Tom ... I'm glad he brought another woman to the party,
    perhaps he brought her just so he could make Livia jealous??!!  I
    really think he has it bad for her......did ya see the look on his face
    after she caught the bouquet?!!!  Incidently, for those that didn't see
    it....Livia practically knocked Velicity (sp?) to the ground to catch it!!
    
    Well, that's my two sense worth.

    Peter Raymond Cook. Not to be confused with People's Republic of
    China.

Tracey --> Long live long hair!!!   Whether it is in or out, I'll just keep
	long.   I do fit 2 of the "in" criteria though.  It's parted on the 
	side and it is straight (and it is straight only because it is too
	cold out to let it dry naturally curly).


/prc --> Where are you located?  We couldn't convince you to come to one of 
	our fun-packed dinners, could we?
	BTW, we still have no idea when the poor confused I-fell-off-the-bridge-
	and-can't-remember-anything Tad is coming back, but I hope it is soon.
	The show needs some good men.  There are alot of single ladies in PV 
	who need some romancing.


Steph --> You are a riot with those hair reports though!  Keep them up!

    Hi all:
    
    /prc:  I had to look twice to see if I was seeing your name correctly. 
    I'm a closet reader of another note you participate in.  Marie is
    right, they are brutal in that one!!!!
    
    I hated Livia's hair yesterday.  She reminded me of a 20s flapper.  She
    should have been wearing feathers with that 'do.  And Erica, I can't
    believe she wore her hair like that on purpose.  That's what mine looks
    like on a really bad hair day!!  Actually, mine looks better than hers
    did even when I'm having a bad hair day!!!  On Dixie's hair,  I liked
    it better before than now.  I thought the medium length gave her such a
    sophiscated look, but this 'do isn't too bad either.
    
    Alright Brooke!  It's about time she gave it to that Puffed up
    Weenie!!!!!!  She was a little too forgiving towards Jack when he
    dumped her for Erica and I'm so happy to see her getting some of her
    spine back.  I would just love to see the old Brooke back, the one who
    wouldn't let anyone do to her what Jack did.
    
    I agree about both of Mimi's looks yesterday.  Boy, she is a knockout!!
    
    I loved the convo about the ties yesterday between Timbo and Dorca. 
    That kid is so adorable and I was so touched when Tim told Trev he
    bought him a tie just like the one he had on.  Nat and Trev just have
    to get together just for Timmy's sake.  That little guy really looks up
    to Trevor.

    bash.

    /prc-->  Thanks for telling. *^)
    
    Lisa-Marie-->  I knew you would agree. *^)  
    
    I wish I could get together with all of you guys out there
    on the east coast. *^)  It would be great to meet everyone. *^)
    Hey Jackie......can I come with you as a stowaway?!?!?!?!?
    
    Now it is more after AMC is over. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
    

    Did you all catch the actual date of Erica and Adam's wedding?  I
    didn't realize until he told Hayley -- It was FRIDAY, December 13th how
    appropriate.
    
    Dan --> Everytime the camera went up close to the men, I watched real
    carefully to see if they were wearing "real" bow ties.  Trevor's was
    definetly real, as was Jeremy's but it was hard to tell on the rest.
    
    Tracey -->  Send your picture out with Jackie and we can place you at
    the seat of honor for dinner.
    
    Dinner in Boston would be great.  Instead of driving in, how about
    taking the T?????
    
    /red

    
    I don't mind driving in Boston. Being insane is part of life. 8-)

    Here is the update for 1/3......
    Yes, guys ANOTHER GOOD ONE. *^)
    
    Hay and Sadam are having there discussion about his reasons
    for not telling her about his recent remarriage to Erica
    along with the reasons why he wanted to marry her.
    
    Hay did not warm up to the reasons as she told him he was
    dirt for making her marry him.  She finally left with 
    the getting very old Bry.
    
    DORCA is face to face with Prince Igor with Nurse Fredericks
    of Hollywood and DORCA tells Timmy that he will not be
    able to go out for pizza with him and to go ahead.  He
    wants to talk to him alone.
    
    When he sees Dimitri with Hotlips he tells Dimitri that
    he can't keep away from the blondes that are about
    a size 8 can you?!?!?!?!?  Hotlips sharply speaks up
    and says size 3!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Then DORCA continues to slam Dimitri as he says.......
    You have to smooz the blondes. *^) You must be desperate....
    
    Desperate when you can't go without a loner
    Desperate is when you can't go without a blonde uniform
    Desperate is when you can't go without a blonde!!!!!!
    
    Dimitri tries to defend himself and Mimi quickly jumps
    in and tries to defend him.  Dimitri takes Hotlips and
    goes to a table.
    
    Mimi tells DORCA that Dimitri has Helga around him since
    his wife died awhile ago.  DORCA quickly says Helga Smelga
    must have a nurse certificate!!!!!!!!!  Then he realizes
    that Mimi is starting to stick up for Dimitri and DORCA
    starts to get upset with Mimi by saying what now that
    you have a job with Dimitri you are on his side!!!!!!!!!
    
    Derick then jumps in and tells him not to take his anger
    out on Mimi now that Hotlips is gone!!!!!!!!! DORCA
    starts to walk away as they try to stop him and in doing
    so he by accident knocks Mimi's purse on the floor and
    picks Dimitri's keys that Mimi has and goes to Dimitri's.
    
    He uses the key and goes into Dimitri's to snoop around.
    He turns the recorder on and NASTY NAT was on the recorder
    telling Dimitri that she is sorry she missed his call and
    she misses him.  PPPLLLLLEEEESSSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Just then Hefty neighhhhhhh Helga comes pounding at the
    door screaming Dimitri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  No answer
    back as she uses her key to get in the room.  DORCA of
    course is out of there as she peers out the window and
    sees him leaving the WILDWIND estates.
    
    While clutching her bosom in fright she calls Dimitri
    and informs him of what happened.  Dimitri has to cut
    his visit with Hotlips while he tends to DORCA.
    
    While Dimitri and Hotlips were dining Creepy and DUMB
    DUMB DIXIE walk in and Hotlips says my favorite couple
    as they were approaching. *^)  DUMB DIXIE tells Hotlips
    how nice she is looking as Hotlips remarks DUMB DIXIE
    you always look good, marriage obviously agree with you.
    
    DUMB DIXIE with the bliss she is still in says my secret
    it out.  Her and Creepy walk away.  Dimitri then very
    smugley says so how long have you been lurking under
    Creepy's bed?!?!?!?!?!
    
    Hotlips Nurse Fredericks is very shocked as she doesn't
    know what to say at first as Dimitri says he is the man
    who jolted you?!?!??!!?  Hotlips denies it as she says
    she is just in this kindof mood cause of DORCA.
    
    Dimitri then goes onto ask her what she would do if she
    could get back at the guy who did this to her.  She told
    him she would really get him.  Then they toast to revenge.
    
    They did continue there dinner till Dimitri got his 
    phone call.  When Dimitri was on the phone with Neighhhhh
    Helga Creepy uses this opportunity to go and find out
    what Hotlips is up to.
    
    Hotlips tells him that if he can afford to buy his precious
    DUMB DIXIE real pearls then he can afford to give her a
    trip somewhere now.  Creepy is upset as he tells her he
    can't then she says if you don't let me remind you of
    our agreement.
    
    Dimitri then interupts as Creepy goes back to DUMB DIXIE.
    
    Stuart has a talk with SAdam after Hay leaves with Bry
    and tries to tell him that he shouldn't treat the people
    around him the way he does and what he did to Erica and
    Hay is wrong.  He does not want to listen to Stuart, but
    after he leaves thinks about it.
    
    Meanwhile Myrtle has a talk with Hay and convinces her
    that she should go home cause SAdam really does care
    for her and she should give him a chance.
    
    Hay walks in and SAdam is happy to see her.
    
    DUMB DIXIE after a nice dinner comes home with Creepy
    and right before they are about to enter the bedroom
    DUMB DIXIE mutters do you hear than?!??!?!?!  Creepy
    says no, what.  She says let me go check on Jr.  
    
    Creepy tells her okay as he walks in the bedroom and
    there is HTLIPS LAYING IN HER NIGHTIE ASKING WHAT TOOK
    HIM SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DORCA went back to the place where Derick and Mimi were
    and returned Dimitri's key as they were both alarmed
    as they accused him of breaking an entry at Dimitri's
    as DORCA denies that he did.
    
    He then goes home and opens his door and there is 
    Dimitri sitting on his couch.  Dimitri looks at the
    very startled DORCA and says ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES
    ANOTHER as he is holding what I think is a sword!!!!!!
    
    That was it for today!!!!!! A good one. *)
    
    Tracey
    

    HAPPY 1992!!
    
    It took me so long to catch up with you guys! 
    
    Dinner when?  Count me in.
    
    Steph---> You ARE to funny when it comes to Erica, but my IMHO Dixie
    is still DUMB DIXIE.  Will you be going to the dinner in April also?
    Will be fun to see the pictures of DC...you DID get pictures didn't
    you???
    
    FP --> Welcome back!
    
    What did Hayleys dress look like?  Was as bad as Ceras?  
    
    
    ar
    
    

    Tracey:  Stow on away!  I'd love it!  And......we will have to make
    sure that I get a picture of you before I leave to bring along.
    
    And..........all of you AMCers here in the midwest....I'M TAKING MY
    CAMERA!......So we can "see" who we are talking to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Oh where oh where is my love........TAD?????????
    
    jackie
    

    /red-->  If I can't be there that might be the best that it
    could be for me being at the dinner.  I may just take you
    up on that and be the guest of honor by picture only. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

Jackie ---->

>>>   Oh where oh where is my love........TAD?????????
 
You don't want me to anwser that one, do you????   ;-)  ;-)  ;-)

    
    Who is DORCA? I take it hotlips is the woman who is blackmailing 
    Craig.

    DORCA == Trevor
    
    HOTLIPS == Gloria
    
    DR DOGOOD == Steven
    
    /red

    Jackie-->  I would love it if I could.  I hope I can get to
    see the pictures that you at least take. *^)  Can I?!?!?!?!?
    I still would love to stowaway, thanks for the okay to do
    so. *^)  Maybe should I try the lotto?!?!?!?!?  I never
    play, but it can't hurt.
    
    Andrea-->  Hay's dress was black velvet on top with a very
    low neckline with a cut-out back.  The bottom was somewhat
    of a tartan red and green checkered type pattern.  She
    did look pretty good, but the camera had to go. *^)
    
    She also could have wore her hair a bit different.  She
    had a pony tail of some sort with a swoop of hair coming
    along the side, with a bunch of strands hanging in her
    face. That could not be in style, YUCK!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Hope that helped. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
    

    /prc-->  Ya DORCA is Trevor.  It won't take long to catch
    on to these names. *^)  They kindof just seem to fit with
    the characters. *^)  Ask as much as you need to know cause
    we are happy to help. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Will do. Everything sunk in at second read.

    
    My goodness you all have been VERY busy this afternoon!!!!
    
    /prc ---> WELCOME TO AMC!!!  It's great to have another guy amongst us!
    I'll look forward to meeting you at the next dinner! BTW --> I'm another 
    of those crazies who doesn't mind the drive into Boston at all!  :-) 
    Have Celica, will travel!  Right "Scoop?" :-)
    
    Now ---> before I make another "Dixie hair comment" I first need to know
    if Cadie has cut her hair again - like since Tuesday's show?  I didn't 
    see yesterday's show last night so I could be waaaaaaaaaaay off with my
    statements about liking her hair.  Someone, please TALK to the HP!!!!!!
    
    Tracey --> You and Jackie are both so hard to read (must be a Chicago
    thing (^%...).  I mean, I know you LOVE Nat's hair, but you don't need
    to praise her the way you do.  Really!  :-)
    
    And BTW Lisa-Marie, Tracey, and any-other-long-haired-noters... I NEVER
    said that long hair was "OUT!"  NEVER!  NEVER!  NEVER!  SAID  THAT!!!!
    What I did say was that shorter, bobbed hair is very "IN" right now...
    that's all!  I personally am a fan of shorter hair, this is true, but I
    don't dislike long hair!  So there! :-)
    
    And for the record... I {{LOVE}} Ceara's hair!  The color, the style,
    the length.  And it looks very clean to me!!  :-)  :-) 
    
    Elvira (oh, sorry, I mean Erica) on the other hand looked like she got 
    a little out of control with the SPRAY GEL, HAIRSPRAY, SPRITZ, MOUSSE, 
    IRON AND IRONING BOARD before the wedding. Not to mention that her dress 
    looked like a damn Christmas tree.  Festive Elvira.  Too much...
    
    FP ---> Can't wait for your reports now that your surveillance equipment
    is (hopefully) back in action!  :-)
    
    TGIF!
    --Steph
    

    Steph-->  What do you mean Jackie and I are hard to read?!?!?!?!
    You mean cause of NASTY NAT?!?!?!?  I know Jackie likes NASTY
    NAT, but me NOWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Her hair is just ONE of the
    many things that I can't stand about her. *^)
    
    Oh well I guess we can all have our IMHO's about the cast
    of AMC's hair, cause mine just won't agree with the 
    $$$eara,DUMB DUMB DIXIE and NASTY NAT hair "do's" They
    absolutely do nothing for me!!!!!!!!! *^)  I sure am
    hoping that Hay is not ruined, oh NOOOOOOOOOO, someone
    grab the scissors from the beautician and fast. *^)
    
    /prc--> Hope this means you are here to stay with us
    here in this file. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
                                                    

    Lisa:
    
    Please answer where Tad is...unless its really YUCKY!  tee hee
    
    
    jackie
    

    
    Natalie's hair is awful! Mine is three times as long!
    
    

    It's not that I mind the drive into Boston, it's driving home after a
    night of fun.  
    
    Dixie's hair looked the same length to me, only combed back.
    
    /red

    /prc-->  I think I am going to like having you in this file. *^)
    You are my kindof noter. *^)  You know it wouldn't take much
    for your hair to be three times as long. *^)
    
    Hey --dc/VALMONT we gotta nother NASTY NAT nonfan. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
                 

    
    Well, that's true. Not only the length but the style. 
    
    The other thing I don't like about her character is how she
    was so unforgiving towards Trevor, I mean, take a pill, huh?
    
    Good for Trevor though! He'll get over it in time and fine
    someone nicer.
    
    I thought him and Erica made QUITE the couple! 8-)

    
    Tracey ---> You like our new noter /prc because he agrees with you! :-)
    
    Well I like him even tho his opinion is different than mine (not to
    mention his poor taste in hair!!)  :-) :-) 
    
    All in Fun!
    --Steph
    

    Did anyone see the S.O.D. best of 91/worst of 91 issue???

    They listed HAYLEY as the most annoying character!  (I think that was
    the term they used).

    They said she started out abrasive, with the black hair and punk
    attitude, and got progressively worse from there.  That she never
    shuts up and sticks her two-cents-worth in wherever it's NOT
    wanted.

    These people obviously have no sense of humor!

    - Diane

    /prc-->  You are right she should have taken a few CHILL PILLS
    when Dimitri was kind enough to set her free from the well.
    I mean come on cut DORCA a break, he loves her but then
    again NASTY NAT the I'M-NASTY-NAT-AND-I-AM-BEAUTIFUL-
    THAT-LIKES-THE-MEN-THAT-HAVE-MONEY doesn't have that
    in DORCA. *^) Now that he made [[ONE]] small mistake
    by sleeping with Jeze (Janet) she has to make a [[BIG]]
    deal about it. *^)  I say throw back in the well. *^)
    
    Steph-->  It is nice to have someone here to back me, now
    that --dc/VALMONT is not here I can't do the NASTY NAT
    bashing alone. *^)  I know it is all in fun, don't worry. *^)
    
    Yes, TGIF I am sooooooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!  Next week
    will be a funfilled loooooooooong week. *^)  Oh well we got
    a whole weekend ahead of us. *^)
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Tracey - and Everyone ---> DC should be back in here on Monday!! He's
    sure going to have A LOT of catching up to do...  I can hardly wait for
    the Nasty Nat "jiggling, jolting, jerking eyeball" comments to start
    flying once he reads all our Nat comments... :-) :-)
    
    /prc --> When you come out, you come out BIG TIME!!!  Again, it's great
    to have you with us.
    
    Cheers! Everyone!
    
    --Steph
    

    
    re: -1
    
    DECwindows helps.

    Diane-->  I did not see that SOD magazine.  I should get that
    one though cause I know I would like it.  I can't believe 
    they would call Hay most annoying.  Who is the world was
    on the panel of opinions, I wonder. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    I've been out of the file for awhile again and have tons to catch
    up on, but I just wanted to comment on a couple things.
    
    I forgot to mention a long time ago when old Glo started the show,
    that her eyeballs JIGGLE TOO! In fact I think they are worse than
    Natalie's.  Anyway, this is mainly directed towards DC, since he
    lusts after Gloria so much (does he still???) and bashes Nat so 
    much.  :^)
    
    About Hayley - I don't think she's ever butted into anyone's elses 
    business unless it concerns her too.  What do they expect her to do 
    when everyone keeps her in the dark about her own affairs!  She's 
    probably one of the more real characters on the Soaps.
    
    So where has DC been?  Let me tell you all that I have been to several
    See's Candy Shops and they have been completely out of Dark Chocolate
    Covered Cherries!!  I think DC went on a rampage and bought them all 
    and is planning on using them in a sticky-sweet lust filled evening 
    with someone hot!!!
    
    See ya.
    Julie

    
    I cant believe that they called Hay most annoying--I think she's GREAT!
    She one of the more realistic people on the show.  
    
    I miss DC and all bashing.  Hope he had a great vacation.
    
    /prc--What an introduction!!!  You'll fit in REAL well here. It's
    refreshing to have another male opinion in the file.
    
    I thank someone for this file everyday!!!!  I haven't seen a soap in, I
    don't know how many weeks.  I can't believe how much I miss them.  You
    guys are totally irreplacable (sp?)!!
    
    
    -raq
    
    

    
    Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.
    
    Maybe I'll work from home one day this week and give a report.
    
    /prc

    

Craig is afraid the jig is up when he Dixie arrive home to find Gloria in 
their bed with nothing on but a naughty nightie!  Luckily 
Gloria lets Craig off the hook by telling Dixie that she must 
have gotten this room confused with the guest room.

Hayley warns Adam that if he makes one false move she will 
move out and never return.

Trevor and Dimitri have that showdown.

Dixie scolds Craig for being hostile to her new best friend.

An Li watches Brian's every move.

THIS WEEK:  CRAIG AND GLORIA TAUNT ONE ANOTHER.
    
    /red

    Julie--->
    
    You're right about the eyeball jiggling gloria. I can't stand it
    either. I hate when an actor/actress has to keep looking back &
    forth between one eyeball & the other. 
    
    Bon

    
    Ok guys ---> The HP was on Dixie-Do Patrol and the official statement
    is that she DID chop her hair some more.  She layered both sides...
    {{REALLY}} layered both sides, and --Steph doesn't like it either!!!!
    
    Cady has such gorgeous thick hair, it's a shame that she had it hacked
    the way she did.  It did look rather matronly on Thursday's show, but
    on Friday's when she and Creepy (Boy, am I TIRED of him!) went to
    Kelly's at the PVI she had it all puffed out and it looked a lot better
    than it had the day before.  I still don't love it, but at least it's 
    workable! :-)
    
    Welcome back DC!!
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph-->  I'm glad you finally can see that DUMB DUMB DIXIE's
    hair is AWFUL!!!!!!!!!! *^)  Now all you need is some more time
    to see $$$eara's and NASTY NAT's.  YUCK, just the thought. *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->  Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  You
    have truely been missed here in this file. *^)  Hope you had
    a fun-filled vacation. *^)
    
    /prc-->  Boy even in here on Saturday, you dedicated noter. *^)
    Welcome again to AMC again and glad that you have decided to
    stay!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  Like I said earlier you are my kind of
    noter (right Steph?!?!?!?). *^)
    
    Well I can only imagine that Hotlips [[will]] get out of
    the old "I'm in your bed DUMB DUMB DIXIE?!?!?!" and she
    will forgive her new best friend for the mistake. *^) 
    It would have to take more than Nurse Fredericks in there
    bed with a nightie on for DUMB DIXIE to be alarmed. 
    PPPPLLLLEEEESSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Someone please
    slap her face for lack of brains. *^)
    
    Dimitri might give DORCA the left hook with that weapon
    he was latching onto.  If I was DORCA I might be a bit
    nervous with Prince Igor awaiting me in my place.  He
    didn't look that too friendly when DORCA opened the
    door. *^)
    
    It appears that Erica is gone for her leave.  This will
    make this storyline even more interesting to see what
    Erica does when she does return.  Wait until Opal gets
    a hold of the info. that her best friend has just up
    and left. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    
    Prince Igor with sword... could be dangerous!!
    
    I'm sorry, but I couldn't even work up a gasp when Craig found G-L-O-R-I-A 
    in he and Dixie's bed.  This story is like soooooooooo tooootallllllllllly
    LAME-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Let's get on with it already.
    
    --Steph
    

    Sorry, I don't have time to read 200 notes entered in AMC while I was
    on vacation, so if any of these comments are "re-runs" please forgive
    me.
    
    I guess my head will be placed on the chopping block for making this
    first comment, but after watching this show fairly regularly over my
    2-weeks off, I have to say it.  This show is so dumb!  The plots
    currently shown are silly, silly, silly and ERica's hair-do at Ceara &
    Jeremy's wedding was the pits!!!!!
    
    Oh, Ceara's dress was horrid, if this is what Geoffrey Bean is
    designing lately, he should go back to school!!!!  Barf, Barf, Barf!!!!
    I don't think that terrible gown would look good on anybody.
    
    Can anyone tell me why Susan Lucci would allow AMC's hairdresser to
    give her that flat, absurd, hair-do?  I was so gross, looked like it
    was flattened by a steam-roller!
    
    I do like Dumb Dixie's new "do", makes her look almost human.....but
    what ever happened to her southern accent....have they sent her for
    eloquecion (SP?) lessons?
    
    I do love Haley, she is a little doll....lets hope they don't ruin her
    character the way they ruined Skye.  Also, Gloria is a super addition
    to the show......I do believe she may end up dead though!
    
    From what I saw of him these past 2 weeks, Michael Nader is being
    wasted, granted he wasn't on much of the time....but be honest, don't
    you think this Trevor, Demitri, Natalie story is a little boring?  At
    least now that Janet is out of the picture.
    
    Well, got to run.....have a very happy new year everyone!!!

    
    Thel --> Nice to have you back!!
    
    Who is Michael Nader?  Is that Dimitri?  I still can't stand this guy!!
    I did give him a chance, I tried to like him, but he has only succeeded 
    at growing on my NERVES!  Ick... he's awful!!
    
    IMO...

    	I agree, besides, anyone who has the same first name as
    	my S.O. has to be cool. 8-)
    
    	/prc

    
    Ok /prc --->  You need to clear up that last statement!  What is the
    name of your SO:  Stephanie or Tracey?
    
    Inquiring minds HAVE TO know... :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    
    Tracy (without the 'e')

    A response from another mostly silent noter.  
    
    I agree with Thel on the Michael Nader stuff.  If the writers could get
    some real action packed stories going, it would show the Michael Nader
    doubters that he really is terrific.  
    
    I love reading through all the notes.  It is really better than staying
    at home watching them.  You guys pick up a lot more details than I ever
    did when I watched the show faithfully.  Keep it up!  

    Thel:
    
    I AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY!!!!
    
    Also, I think Dixie has gotten a perm!
    
    Jackie
    

    /prc-->  Not to sound stupid, but what is an S.O.?!?!?!?!  I am
    assuming this is your girlfriend?!?!?!?!?!  It is nice to have
    you around. *^) *^)  It is fun to have another male in the file. *^)
    
    Steph-->  I know Dimitri hasn't lived quite up to my expectations
    as he did on Dynasty, but I say to give him more time.  He is
    at this point being wasted on spending his time waiting for
    NASTY NAT to decide.  PPPLLLLEEESSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I hope eventually we see the REAL DEX in full bloom. *^)
    
    Thel-->  Welcome back to AMC!!!!!!!!  Hope you had a nice 2 weeks
    off.  It is hard to get back in the swing of things.
    
    They need to start juicing up some of the storylines and I can
    see that has to be starting soon. *^)  Right now things seems
    to be in a lull. Maybe we need --dc/VALMONT back to liven'
    the show up. *^)
    
    I wonder if he's back yet, are you --dc?!?!?!?!?
    
    
    Tracey
    
                                                            

    
    re: Tracey
    
    Significant Other. One of those terms you'll never hear outside of
    notes. 8-)
    

    /prc-->  Thanks for clearing my mind I thought it had to be
    something like that. *^)  I am sure quite a bit of these
    terminologies here in NOTES we don't hear outside. *^)
    
    I find myself trying to make some of these gestures
    that we make in here on other work I do and this *^)
    doesn't let anyone know outside of NOTES that you're smiling.  
       
    
    Tracey
    
    
    
    

    
    So what happened, anyone see it? Inquiring minds (it's around here
    somewhere) want to know!

    
    Sorry, but the link between the cable and the VCR is not easily
    allowing the FP to view the incriminating videotapes coming out
    of Pine Valley.  I hope that by Wednesday, I will be able to file
    the first report of 1992.
    
    The FP does agree with Thel and Tracey about Michael Nader, but
    this sword duel storyline is dreadful.  The FP is kind of glad that 
    her VCR isn't cooperating this week.  Dimitri needs to lighten up
    and PUHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE
    LOSE the GOATEE!!!!!  That in itself will do him a world of good.
    Also, some of those dopey sweaters HAVE TO GO.........  
    
    The FP may have found a character to hate ALMOST as much as that
    pathetic ugly arachnid Emily Ann who now makes a living holding
    up gigantic boxer shorts (with a rapturous grin on her face) !!!!
    That individual is none other than that total wasteoid lily livered
    spineless jellyfish and yes, WEENIE, Craig.  Ahem.  Oh
    PUHHHLLLLEEEAASSSEEEEE, perhaps a TOTAL CRETIN like Dixie would fall
    for him but the queen of the BUSTIER OF DEATH Gloria is too sharp to
    go for a milquetoast like him.  Did anyone notice the hideous 
    gray sweatpants that he wore into Gloria's Sex Chamber across the
    hall from Dixie's Honeymoon Suite of Chastity????  Let the FP put it
    this way....the smaller your television screen, and the worse your
    reception, the better off you were!!!! The FP has an overpowering
    urge to COLOR IN HIS EYES too.  This urge is physiologically connected
    to the Fast Forward Finger reflex, used for such notables as the
    aforementioned Emily Ann (captain of the Happy Meadows Twinkie Farm
    Shuffleboard Team,) Travis the insuffarable Weenie with the horribly
    disfigured nostrils, and the hideous and mercifully short lived 
    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!	  Unfortunately, Craig is a drab and boring
    actor of negligible talent and he is caught up in a major storyline.
    I can't wait until Palmer catches on to him, and SWill starts spouting
    Itoldyousos.
    
    Believe me, when you compare Craig, Brian, Chuckles, and Puffy the
    Sta-presd Lawyer with Dimitri, he starts looking fine, even with
    the goatee.....  Jeremy, well, he's another story.....
    
    FP
    

prc ---> Nat dies in ski accident, party at 11???   
	Yes, I can tell.  You and DC are going to get along quite well.
	However, watch out for DC.  We ALL know that DC secretly lusts 
	after women with big feet and after getting one good look at Nat's 
	he secretly lusts after her!!!   :-)   :-)  :-)



					Lisa-Marie (the resident trouble-maker)
					(especially where DC is concerned)
						;-)

    Here is the update for 1/6......
    
    Dimitri and DORCA have a sword match as they go after each
    other for there devoted love for NASTY NAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Dimitri pins DORCA to the couch and starts to try to lay
    on the selfish uncaring of your new baby on DORCA.
    
    DORCA tries to defend himself as they end there conversation
    abruptly as DORCA has had enough of his crusade for Jeze's
    baby on the way. *^)
    
    After Dimitri leaves DORCA gets a call and it is NASTY NAT.
    DORCA had answered the phone very abruptly as he was not
    expecting her to call.  NASTY NAT senses something is 
    wrong and DORCA says it must be a bad connection they
    had.
    
    He then tries to make up for his shortness and says he
    is sooooooo happy to hear from her.  He then makes
    some small talk and thanks her for letting Timmy come
    to the wedding. 
    
    He then wants to know if she has made a decision yet
    and she of course says no.  DORCA before that says he
    was happy to have read her letter she gave him before
    she left.
    
    NASTY NAT then feels like she is getting a bit CONFUSED
    again and hangs up, as she says she has to go.
    
    DORCA needs someone to talk to as he goes to the ever
    so into her work insecure on her way to hitting the grind
    stone being a journalist Brooke English. *^)  He comes
    over as Brooke is shocked to see him there that late.
    
    DORCA wants to know if he is interupting her and of 
    course he is not.  He talks to Brooke about him being
    a father to Jeze's baby or at least find out if he is
    being selfish and how he shouldn't be taking it out
    on a innocent baby.
    
    Brooke tries to convince him that it is not the child's
    fault on what happened.  DORCA then says he thought
    that he always wanted to be a father, but now he is
    sooooo afraid because everytime he thinks of it he feels
    he is going to loose NASTY NAT.
    
    He then leaves Brooke's and goes to see Jeze in the
    hospital.  Jeze comes out, and BTW, she is back to being
    a brunette.  Her hair has GROWN alot longer than NASTY
    NAt's has and is wearing her glasses again.  
    
    They make small talk as Jeze makes mention to her very
    boring and nonseason Christmas and DORCA then says he
    has made a decision on the baby!!!!!!!!!!! That is
    how it ends.
    
    When Dimitri gets home he is not in to good of a state
    as he sees Mimi sitting there.  She tells him she is
    sorry about DORCA breaking in.  Dimitri is livid as he
    tells her how could she give him the keys.
    
    She tries to explain to him that she had no idea that
    he had the keys until he tried to return them after he
    already broke an entry.  He then says he has nothing
    to hide and is tired of people trying to find something.
    
    He is on a role as he tells her he is a man and puts on
    his pants like everyone else.  Mimi is speechless at
    first as she is going to resign at first.  After 
    Dimitri made his speech she said she knows that there
    is nothing wrong with him and she wonders why he hired
    her if he knew why she originally took the job.
    
    He told her he did it so everyone would believe that
    he has nothing to hide.  Mimi then says how she knows
    there is nothing and she was wrong about him.  Dimitri
    tells her she can stay as she thanks him and leaves.
    
    Dimitri then is listening to his messages as he hears
    NASTY NAT's voice.  He is about to quickly call her as
    he abruptly puts the phone down and rushes to see her.
    
    NASTY NAT is baskingn on the courch while reading a
    magazine as she hears a knock at the door.  She opens
    it up and sees Dimitri he says nothing as he plants
    a big juicy kiss on her lips as they embrace.  That
    is also how it ends.
    
    Now for DUMB DUMB DIXIE who walks in on Hotlips who
    is laying on DUMB DIXIE's bed with a nightie on as she
    says HOTLIPS WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    
    Hotlips with a smurk on her face says I must have went
    to the wrong room.  DUMB DUMB DUMB DIXIE who believes
    anything says "Oh my you must have taken a wrong turn
    you are in our BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    
    Hotlips apologizes as Creepy starts lashing out a 
    DUMB DIXIE's judgement for letting her stay as Hotlips
    then excuses herself.  DUMB DIXIE is practically crying
    as her lips are quivering and eyes getting big manages
    to get Hotlips to the right place and then demands to
    talk to Creepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE tells him that he should stop thinking
    of her as being a girl who doesn't know what she is doing.
    She says that she grew up in pigeon hollow, but that
    doesn't mean she is stupid.   PPPPLLLLLLEEEESSSSEEEEEEEEEE
    DUMB DIXIE wake up and smell what coffee is brewing. *^)
    She's only admitted that she can't add and didn't complete
    her education, but she is not STUPID?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    
    Creepy then tells her he is sorry and knows she is not
    stupid.  DUMB DIXIE then went onto say that she wants her
    friend to stay here and he shouldn't treat her like this.
    Creepy had to give in as they are about to go nightie
    night, but Creepy says Oh I forgot to do something for
    work, keep my spot warm.
    
    He quickly goes into Hotlips room and tells her she 
    better quit these games as she has really done it.
    Hotlips gladly jumps in and tells him she hopes she
    took 10 years off his life.
    
    Creepy snaps back that she is sick and better leave
    him and DUMB DIXIE alone because he tells her that he
    know she doesn't like DUMB DIXIE.  Hotlips says yes I
    do and your "Sweel lovely patsy is going to need a
    shoulder to cry on and I want it to be mine"
    
    Creepy tells her that she is going to far as she 
    snaps back again saying you think I am just a cookie
    cutter blonde, but I'm not you are going to pay.  She
    then starts in on how she really loved him and he
    treated her soooooooooo bad and now he has got to learn
    he can't do that.
    
    Creepy senses that she isn't playing and tries to trick
    her into thinking he really is concerned she doesn't fall
    for that when he tries to be nice.  She does threaten to
    scream, but he convinces her not to cause DUMB DIXIE will
    come running.
    
    She then tells him that he better know that she is not
    playing she wants money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DUMB DIXIE is meanwhile having a bad dream.  She is now
    dreaming that Creepy has left her and Hotlips is the
    one that tells her he is gone.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE wakes
    up in a cold sweatt and is upset as she patiently is
    trying to wait for Creepy.  I am sure her dialing fingers
    would like to call 911 to report him missing of only
    minutes. PPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
    
    Creepy comes back to bed very quiety as DUMB DIXIE wants
    to know where he was.  He comes through again with the
    I was working as she tells him that she has had a bad
    dream and was almost going to go look for him.
    
    Creepy expresses how sorry he is and he will comfort her
    as she tells him or her dream.  They hug and call it a
    night.
    
    The next morning DUMB DIXIE arrives in Hotlips room with
    breakfast for her.  No doubt she has a tray full of homemade
    bisquits with jelly, spare us.  Hotlips thanks her as
    Creepy is listening on in the doorway.  DUMB DIXIE leaves
    the room and Creepy gives Hotlips money.
    
    That was about it for today.

    I just want to know why Dixie would believe that Gloria took a wrong
    turn and ended up in her bed, if GLORIA WAS NEVER INVITED TO SPEND THE
    NIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE????????
    
    /red

    /red, my question exactly.  I don't remember Dixie inviting Whoria to
    stay at the mansion.  Is is still New Years Eve?  Pretty long night,
    huh???
    
    Tracey, thanks for the update.  You beat me to my thought too.  The one
    about Dixie calling the police because Craig was down the hall too
    long.  
    
    I have some other upcoming news and some 1992 predictions to enter as
    time permits.
    
    Cheryl

    /prc-->  I wish it was the case that NASTY NAT dies in ski
    accident, party at 11. *^)  We couldn't be sooooooooo lucky
    to have that happen.  Unfortunately she is still around. *^)
    
    Lisa-Marie-->  You're in here today, Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    It seems like you haven't been around that much in here lately.
    I guess with the Holidays many have been busy.
    
    I feel like I have been here all the time.  No, I am not
    feeling sorry for myself. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Looks like Dmitri is gonna get Nat, what a pair! They deserve each
    other! Now Trevor should go after Erica. 8-)

    /red-->  In answer to your question about Hotlips she was
    asked by the ever so I'm everyone's friend DUMB DIXIE 
    cause she felt sorry for Hotlips and asked her to stay.
    
    They just kindof wrote that in cause they never showed
    DUMB DIXIE (to my knowledge) asking her to spend the
    night. PPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEESSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I guess it that BIG house at the Courtland's she could
    get away with such a excuse.  Only in the Soap Opera's
    could this happen.  
    
    Isn't DUMB DUMB DIXIE alittle toooooooooo old to be
    inviting grown women to spend the night?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    I was waiting for DUMB DIXIE to tell Creepy she wants
    to sleep with Hotlips since this is her GOOD FRIEND. *^)
    I think I need a aspirin. *^) PPPPLLLLEEESSSEEEEEEE!!!!!
    
    fp-->  Sorry to hear the equipment is not hooked up yet
    I am sure it will be up and running soon.  I am glad
    that you agree that Dimitri really isn't all that bad.
    Yes, compared to Creepy who is soooooooooooo bad just
    about anyone should look good. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

Tracey --> Yes, I'm here.  I was out the week of Xmas and have been fairly
	busy when I am here.  But, no matter what, I would never fail to miss
	one of your fabulous updates.

Jackie --> Are you here today?  How is Murph doing?



I'll still to my original guess.  Nat is doing to be Dimented, I mean Dimitri,
for all the wrong reasons (like she did with Adam), then she's going to realize
it was all a mistake and have Trevor come and rescue her.   I'm still baffled
as to why she is interested in either Trev or Dim.  Trev has no $$$ and isn't 
old enough to kick the bucket, and Dim does have $$$ but also isn't old enough
to kick the bucket.  So why is she interested in them?

    
    Lisa-Marie ---> Stop your Nat-Bashing!  :-)  :-)
    
    I'm a Nat/Trev fan so I hope she gives that Goa-TEE wearin' geek the
    BOOT!!!  Dimitri is... IMO... the driest, most boring, not-to-mention
    UNATTRACTIVE thing AMC has!
    
    --Steph
    

    Only in soapland can a woman like hotlips get away with something like
    that. I can't believe Dixie is being so dumb.  Sonds like a fatal
    attratction is about to happen.  I wonder if Dixie ever saw that movie.
    
    I think I will send her a rabbit in a pot and then a note selling her
    the Brooklyn bridge.  She is not that young and she should be able to
    tell when something is not right.( She has that special sense, growing
    up in pigeon hollows, right?)
    
    I  too have not given up on Nat and Trev yet.  I believe they are star
    crossed lovers.  I wonder if there will be a few sparks between Dimitri
    and Mimi , it looks like it could happen.
    
    A sometime closet noter
    
    Lisa

Steph --->  Me?  Nat bashing???  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)


I think Nat is going to pick Prince Igor just because her and Trev are
such star-crossed lovers.   Awhile back, someone posted something from one of
the soap mags that said that Nat and Trev would get back together but it would
take a long time.  On Soaps, when they say long time, it's usually about a 
year or so, so Nat has to pick Prince Igor so Trev can save her just like 
when she married Adam thus dragging the storyline out properly.  :-)

Can't wait until Janet has this kid already.  It should be fun listening
to her going through labor!  :-)

    A little more upcoming news from SPW:
    
    Jack and Brooke have an eye-opening Television debate.  Terence suffers
    a vicious attack.  This will happen at the health club.
    
    Next Week:
    
    Terrence's problems bring Livia closer to Tom.  Dimitri tells part of
    his life story to Natalie.
    
    Predictions for 1992:  Some of these are really stupid IMHO.  Remember,
    they are only predicitions from the editors of this magazine:
    
    Jamie's a wanted child
    
    Tad returns to town and exposes Craig for the scoundrel he is.  A
    bitter custody battle later ensues between Tad and Brooke for little
    Jamie.  Gloria and Will becomme romantically involved and plot to steal
    Palmer's fortune.  Erica breaks free of Adam only to find that Jack is
    through with her once and for all.  More than a few eyebrows are raised
    when Livia becomes pregnant with Tom's baby.  Brian finds himself
    falling for An Li, leaving Hayley out in the cold.  Hayley thinks,
    "what the hey," and decides to initiate a romance of her own.
    
    How Last years predictions match up with what really happened:
    
    David did stop speaking to his father when he discovered Jeremy's plan
    to keep Ceara and him apart.  He eventually forgave him, though, and
    married Melanie.  Erica did not become pregnant-she eventually lost
    both Travis and Jack-and Barbara did not lose her baby.  Dixie did
    indeed fall in love with an intriguing stranger - Craig.  However, Tad
    did not return to Pine Valley - not yet anyway!
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl-->  Thanks for the upcoming news.  It sounds very very
    interesting.  I wonder if the Upcoming News and Predictions
    will happen. *^)
    
    Btw, I think it was Cheryl who made up a GREAT new name for
    Gloria, WHORIA. *^)  Right Cheryl was it you?!?!?!?!?!
    
    Nothing in the upcoming news on a DORCA Jr. or girl in
    the Dillon family.  I was hoping they would make some 
    predictions on that storyline.  I guess they don't want
    to ruin the fun. *^)
    
    /prc-->  I think you are absolutely right that DORCA should
    forget about NASTY NAT and go for the real woman ERICA. *^)
    
    I don't know why DORCA wastes his time on a cold,calculating
    selfish,undecided, unhealthy tri-color hair-do, gold digging
    I think I'm soooooooo beautiful NASTY NAT. *^)  I'll never
    know what he sees in her. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
                        

    Yep, it was me who named her WHORIA.
    
    Cheryl

Tracey ---> Maybe Trevor goes for those gunboat sized feet just like DC???
		;-)  ;-)  ;-)


Speaking of DC, WHERE ARE YOU?   He should be back from vacation by now.
I heard that somebody bought out eve last chocolate covered cherry from
See's.  If it was Dc, maybe he's too busy using those fingers of his to 
lift those cherries to his mouth.  :-)

    Sorry, it wan't me who came up with WHORIA...but I wish that I had!  it
    is wonderful!!!!!!!!! wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!wonderful!!!!!!!!
    
    I think it was Cheryl!
    
    Also, did you see that clothes that DD & Craig wore to Kelly's????  She
    all decked out and him in his rumpled, shabby pants and shirt ?  Come
    on.
    
    Whoever said that the storylines are getting atrocious is RIGHT.....Did
    the writer who just got fired from General Hospital get hired at AMC.?
    tee hee
    
    PLEASE TAD..........WHERE ARE YOU?
    
    Jackie

    
    Ok Jackie... You've crossed the proverbial battle line!!!  While I will
    join you in chanting about what a moron/twit/witch/etc. Erica Kane is,
    I WILL NOT TOLERATE you bashing General Hospital!!!!  :-)  :-)  :-)
    
    All In Fun...

    Steph:
    
    Me Bash General Hospital?  No Way......but didn't they just fire their
    writer?
    
    That's why I said that.....I had read in the GH file that everyone hated
    her!  Wasn't that right?

    Hi!  I'm back and working from home!  Don't think I'll ever get
    the chance to read all the replies from the past 4 months!
    
    Couple comments....I'm soooo glad Dr. Hunk (aka Steven) is a
    permanent fixture in PV!  Gloria is a great b*tch, even if she
    is an eye twitcher!  
    
    Gotta run...I'll be back when I have a few extra minutes...with
    a new baby and working full time that could be months! :^)
    
    Cherie

    
    Well, I'm finally back!  I guess the only one who really missed me was
    my pal --> Tracey! <(^%\\'  
    
    Getting stranded in Lake Takoe for New Year's Eve was like a total 
    blast-oid!  Free drinks and a dollar slot machine to pass the long
    hours away with was fun --> now everytime I blink my eyes, I can see 
    like three, shiny, red cherries and three bars!!!!!!!!!!  Finally, like 
    I woke up in a round bed with a mirrored room --> the whole place was 
    like this day-glo pink!  I like hate that color more than I hate Nasty 
    Natalie's bosom-clutching gasps of horror!  (^%  Luckily I won at the 
    slots!!!
    
    Now I have a faux gold chain and silver-dollar sized pendant from 
    Caesars to wear on all my evenings of cruising the strip in a yellow
    camaro with 45 speakers!  (Only kidding about the Camaro!) I won this 
    jewel of tackiness during a 4 AM crank of the four wheeler --> Big 
    Bertha!  Bells went off and horns honked --> I won the prize of the 
    day!  All the toothless dudes getting ready to board the stage back to 
    San Francisco were like totally jealous!!!!  
    
    I've finally figured out just exactly how ugly Dumb Dixie, the MILKMAID 
    FROM HELL, actually looks with that stupid, hair!  Yes folks, it true,
    she looks exactly like QUEEN ELIZABETH did in 1958!  Dumb Dixie, the 
    bible-totin' and a quotin' butterbean queen, has more hairspray and
    lacquer in her hair than the platinum-haired love-goddess --> Lana Turner 
    ever did! (^%  Gag us all!
    
    Dumb Dixie probably has to wrap her ULTRA-BIG hair of MEGA-DEATH, into 
    a bath towel so she can sleep at night --> WITHOUT IT POKING-OUT HER 
    CROSSED-EYES or falling down across her pukey, trembling, quiver lips!
    
    Then, she takes an ice pick and a trowel in the AM to restyle, that 
    stiff, barb-wire hair --> into a 1950's era Ava Gardner!  Gag us all!
    
    Like double gag me with a can of hairspray!  (^%  Someone better slap 
    this stupid, annoying, little nerd-oid with the truth!  Hey Cady --> your 
    hair is so ugly that the pigs on your family's farm will all shun you!!!
    
    SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT SNORT or 
    whatever pigs say --> when they are honked-off!
    
    Hey Dumb Dixie --> your hair is so ugly, the person who styled it should 
    be arrested for defacing your head!  Hey Dumb Dixie --> all those
    stiff, side wings and teased-up bouffant hairstyles left the planet 20 
    years ago with Donna Reed!  You should have left, too!  Was this babe 
    serious?  Is she trying-out for a remake of the movie --> "HAIRPSRAY?"   
    
    Now I know this rumor is really true --> this doll really does have a 
    family of ROACHES in her HAIR!!!!! (^%  I can tell fer sure --> 'cause
    whenever she has a scalp itch --> she scratches it with the sharp end
    of a lead pencil! (^%  Gag and double gag!  I think Dumb Dixie has a 
    real bad case of -->
    
    		GIDGET GOES HAWAIIAN!
    
    Only Dumb Dixie sure ain't no Sandra Dee!  Someone please make her 
    shampoo her rancid hair!!!! (^% BTW, the next time she wears those ugly, 
    obviously faux pearls to bed, I will have to consider it my duty --> to 
    slap her face with my rubber chicken! (^%  Then I will shake her 4,000
    times!  Finally, I will lock her into a room with a dictionary and an
    encyclopedia and make her read for the next 5 years!  (^%
    
    Another quick observation --> the Fashion Consultant at Sak's Fifth
    Avenue just told me that they NEVER carry GEOFFREY BEANE wedding gowns
    in their salon!  They are considered tacky, cheap and basically ugly!
    I also heard the word putrid and insipid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Try Jacque Penney if you won't be satisfied with anything less than a 
    real Geoffrey Beane! (^%  
    
    With TWIN hips of death like $$$$$$$$eara --> the VERY LAST THING SHE
    SHOULD BE WEARING IS A GOWN WITH LARGE PLEATS AT THE WAIST.......  How
    totally ghastly and ghoulish!  As far as the side-ways diamond shaped
    lacey thing across her bosom goes --> well, it was uglier that Sinus
    O'Connor on a bad-hair day!   (^%  That totally ugly Wedding Gown would 
    look much better in an industrial-strength --> shredder!  Poor Jeremy, 
    married to another serious fashion criminal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    All I can say is POOR Erica!  She should have learned what a simpering
    simp that Jack really is!  After his latest social faux-pas she should
    be sitting in her mirrored-dressing room sticking voodoo pins into a rag 
    doll of Jack, while arranging for a de-capitated chicken to be hung
    upside-down outside of suite 32 at the Valley Inn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (^%
    
    Jack is the heel and cad of the century!  He would be lucky to ever get
    another date in Pine Valley!  Well, I wouldn't care if he dated Hefty
    Helga!  Neigh, neigh, neigh!  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    I have some nits, but I hope they are not repetitive.  Having been away
    and not having quite caught up in here yet, I may have missed someone
    else bringing these up.
    
    1) How dumb can DUMB DIXIE be????  *Everyone* knows that real pearls
    would be individually knotted and would not go flying off a broken
    strand even if your cad of a husband yanked them off your neck!! 
    There, I have said it.
    
    2) Geoffrey spells his bean this way --->Beene.  He may have designed a
    horrid wedding gown, but hey, give him a break, his Grey Flannel
    cologne for men is dynamite!!
    
    
    Jo

    
    Jo --> I know!  Truely authentic pearls are hand-knotted on each side
    of each pearl!  There is no way these pearls were genuine!  Even a 
    good strand of faux/cultured pearls are hand-knotted!  We can verify
    this with the newly retured FP!  Welcome back FP!  (^%  I can see you
    returned just in time to dispell the faux pearl mystique!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    Jo --> Grey Flannel?  Wasn't there a movie about Grey Flannel?  Ken is
    the kind of guy who would benefit from Egoiste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
    
    G L O R I A --> is the greatest!  She sure told off that snoopy Brooke 
    in the Martin kitchen!  She even quoted a Bible verse!  Only I can't
    remember which one it was!  Anyway, it was effective!  Brooke was 
    finally left speechless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Everytime Erica is in a scene with Livia --> Livia rolls her eyes and
    makes faces!  Someone ought to make this narly doll go suck a lemon!!!
    
    The last time I saw Livia at $$$$$$$$$$$eara's wedding --> she looked
    like a reject from a Billie Holiday movie!  Those spit curls on top 
    of her pointy little head were totally --> "Beyond the Valley of the 
    Dolls!"  (^%  When she sticks that hand on her wide hips, smacks her 
    lips together and then starts to point that pointer finger in Tom's 
    face, I want to drop a sour pickle in her faux leather purse, stomp
    on her large foot and blow hot chili pepper into her nose!!!!!  (^% (^% 
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    Gee, I'm glad that DC brought up Livia again so that I can get my
    2 cents in on her hair.  Yecchh!  I'm surprised that everyone mentioned
    how horrid her hair was but no one said anything about that ugly dress
    she was wearing.  Double Yecchh!  This woman should have received 
    citations from both the Hair Police and the Fashion Police.
    
    I'd like to thank the wonderful updaters we have in this file.  I was
    home sick today and managed to sleep through Loving and 1/2 of AMC.
    I figured it'd be okay 'cause hey, technically competent woman that
    I am, I'd set the VCR to tape from 11:30am to 3:00pm every day and
    I was covered.  Wrong!  I forgot to push the button to put the VCR
    back on auto tape when I went to bed last night.  So, today's Loving
    is gone forever and I've only got the 2nd half of AMC.
    
    And now I'm going to really drop myself into hot, boiling water...I
    actually like Dixie's new do.  She really looked nice in her blue
    dress, pearls and significantly shorter, lighter hair do.  Craig on
    the other hand should have been more dressed up.  I hated his shirt
    and think it would have been more appropriate if he had worn a suit
    since Dixie was dressed up.  Oh, what color was his shirt anyway?
    Not a flattering color on him at all.  
    
    Jan

    
    Jan --> I hope you don't have the flu!  )^%  BTW, Craig's shirt was
    some shade of annonymous brown!  It must have been designed to show
    off his sparse chest hair!  It was even more boring than watching
    Julia Childs get drunk on her cooking sherry!!!!!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    Welcome to all the new noters --> just a note a day is all we ask!!!!
    
    Here's a few words about today's show -->  We open up with G L O R I A
    all cozy in Dumb Dixie's double bed!  Oh baby G L O R I A could easily 
    qualify for a spot on the Swedish Volleyball Team!  (^%  So Dumb Dixie
    sez with great alarm --> "what are you doing in here!"  G L O R I A 
    brushes her long nails across her slinky bedclothes and grins
    seductively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (^%
    
    I thought she purred, but I could be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (^%
    
    Suddenly, Dumb Dixie and G L O R I A start giggling hysterically!  Dumb 
    Dixie sez something totally inane like --> "oh my goodness, you thought 
    that this was your bedroom!"  Well, Dumb Dixie practically lost her 
    composure as she giggled OVER AND OVER again at "the funny-ness" of the 
    whole thing!  Should we all gag now or should we wait a little longer?
    
    People could hear me moaning in the next county!!!!!!!!!  GAG ME!  (^%
    
    Dumb Dixie, still wearing her shiny, blue, stiff, go go sateen party
    dress and those infamous faux pearls, clutches her ample bosom in horror, 
    as she suddenly realized that Creepy Craig had no idea why she and 
    G L O R I A were laughing!  She must have been thinking --> "OH DRAT,
    I gotta tell my husband why I'm laughing!"  (^%
    
    If Dumb Dixie had a pair of white go go boots to go with that totally
    narly blue party dress, she would have looked exactly like Nancy
    Sinatra!  A few dabs of hot pink lipstick with white eyeshadow would 
    complete the picture fer sure!  Then she could walk into the room,
    snappin' her bubblegum, swaying her hips from left to right and 
    singing --> "these boots were made for walkin'........."  Sometimes
    I even scare myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (^%
    
    As Dumb Dixie clutches her ample bosom in horror, a large section of 
    the very stiff dress, across the right bosom and right shoulder move 
    away from her silky, soft skin!  We were almost treated to a nearly 
    sideless Dumb Dixie!!  We can only hope that she was wearing her new 
    Jane Russell --> "full-figured gal" brassiere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Creepy Craig is being reticent and petulant about G L O R I A staying
    in the house!  Dumb Dixie goes on a rampage --> she squinches up her
    long nose and furrows her expressionless brow and sez --> I'M [[NOT]]
    THE SAME DUMB KID I WAS IN PIGEON HOLLOW --> G L O R I A IS A GOOD
    PERSON!"  Dumb Dixie pleads with Creepy Craig to --> "TRUST HER!" (^%
    
    You tell him Dixie-Bird!  No one listens to you anyway!  Especially
    NOT with that stiff, insipid, Queen Elizabeth hairdo, circa 1958!  All
    Dumb Dixie was missing was a pair of party gloves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (^%
    Double GAG!!!!!! 
    
    Dumb Dixie adds --> "I KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE MY OWN FRIENDS AND RUN MY 
    OWN LIFE!"  Sure, Dixie, admit it doll --> you're the one who brought
    biscuits and grape jam to Billy Clyde Tuggle in the NO-TELL Motel!!!!
    Run your own life --> NAH, not if your life depended on it --> NOT!!!
    Just plain --> NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    Later, G L O R I A became tearful as she recounted her life with 
    Creepy Craig!  She almost fell for his well-practiced --> "I'm all 
    reformed routine," but suddenly, she remembered why she was in the 
    house in the first place!
    
    She dried up her tears and demanded that Creepy Craig produce a 
    check in the AM --> or she was going to tell Dumb Dixie everything!
    
    Well, to amplify very Dumb Dixie's lacklustre scenes --> we are
    treated (or subjected to, depending upon your point of view), to a 
    black and white nightmare scene....  Dumb Dixie hears G L O R I A 's 
    voice as she runs around the bedroom frantically searching for Creepy 
    Craig!  She is so upset that she gets back into bed and starts twiddling 
    he thumbs 'till Creepy Craig returns!  (^%  Dumb Dixie was probably 
    trying to figure out the latest video on MTV, but was afraid to 
    admit it to all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    She should have gone down to the kitchen and had a bowl of lime jello 
    with cool whip on it!!!!!  Double gag me fer sure!!!!!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    In the AM --> Dumb Dixie wearing a bathrobe of mega-death, pads
    into G L O R I A 's room with a breakfast tray!  (^%  Dumb Dixie coos,
    something insipid, like --> "look what I did, I just couldn't help
    myself, I just had to make you breakfast!"  Giggle, giggle --> GAG US
    ALL FER SURE!  This doll is so narly --> my teeth are starting to 
    itch again!  Right Tracey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dumb Dixie conveniently goes to check on Junior, so Creepy Craig hands 
    G L O R I A  a big check!  G L O R I A grins with excitement as she 
    tells him --> "this check better not bounce, I have a lot of shopping 
    to do today!"  (^%  I bet she is going to the closest, Fredericks of
    Hollywood for a new BUSTIER!  This time it will be in sinful purple,
    with little red roses sewn onto it, in all the strategic places!!!!!
    
    Meanwhile, in Orca's apartment we see a grinning Dimitri awaiting
    blubber-gut's return!  (^%  Of course Dimitri just finished watching 
    the reruns of Zorro on his HAUNTED GOTHIC HORROR MANSION closed-circuit 
    TV --> (hopefully, the FP has resolved her video dilemma and has had a
    chance to observe the mediocre nightwear that Dumb Dixie was padding
    around in), so Dimitri thought he would give Orca a little scare!  
    
    Well, they exchange their customary insults and suddenly they are going 
    to have a sword fight!  Boys will be boys --> but this was downright 
    dangerous!!!!!  (^%
    
    Orca picks two swords out of his collection!  The one in his left 
    hand was big enough for Mighty Mouse to hold in his teeth, and the one 
    in his right hand was ahem, on the short side!  Well, suddenly, it's 
    en garde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (^%
    
    Clang, clang, clink, clink, clang, clang --> they joust around the
    apartment!  Suddenly, Dimitri swings and chops Orca lamp in half!
    
    Orca mournfully bellows --> "hey, that's my favorite lamp!"  (^%  
    Dimitri could rightfully care less about the lamp!!  (^%  Then as if 
    a bolt of lightening shot through the room --> Dimitri swings --> the 
    sword, clenched in Orca's left hand sails across the room and stabs 
    itself into the wall with a loud THUNK!!  It stayed in the wall for 
    the rest of their scenes!!!
    
    Dimitri grins feverishly!  Orca is getting scared!  Cling, cling,
    clang, clang, clang, cling, cling, cling --> suddenly, it's all
    over for Orca the Bully!  Orca is laying up-side-down and backwards, 
    spread-eagled across his couch!  His large, rather empty head is 
    precariously balanced on an adjoining chair!  (^%  
    
    Dimitri approaches and places 36 inches of cold hard steel across
    Orca's plump neck!  If he sneezed right then, Orca would have been
    brisket of beef!  Dimitri finally lets Orca free and warns him to 
    --> "stay away from my house!"  Dimitri tauts Orca about Jezebel 
    Janet's coming baby!  Orca is visibly upset now!  Dimitri leaves
    and Orca runs over to Brooke's --> 'cause he has --> "to talk to 
    someone!"  Basically, Brooke told him --> "Natalie could choose
    you, but without the baby question still not resolved, what good 
    would it do?"  Am I right on this quote --> Roberta????????  (^%
    
    The show ended today with Orca visiting Jezebel Janet!  BTW, her
    hair is almost completely brunette now!  There is a faint touch of
    blonde at the tips of her hair!  She snarls at him --> "I knew you
    would be here!"  Orca looks dumbfounded!  He sez --> "how did you
    know?"  She snorts --> "it's the 12th day of Christmas..........."
    Jezebel Janet adds with a snarl  --> "well, you're a day late, did 
    you bring me a Christmas present?"  (^%
    
    Orca grimaces with pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    From the look on Orca's face --> we can be sure he was wishing for a
    couple of gulps of extra-strength, super-fortified MAALOX!
    
    Dimitri gets on a jet and flies to Aspen!  Nasty Natalie, clutching
    her pointy bosom in horror, wonders, who can this be knocking on my 
    door, as she carefully opens the door to find a love-hungry Dimitri 
    waiting outside to press his burning hot lips against her rather
    tepid, indecisive, bright orange lips!!!  (^% He presses her to him 
    and all thoughts of horror suddenly leave Nasty Natalie!  She must 
    have wondered why she was so horrified just a few moments ago!  (^%
    
    Who wants to bet that she pushes him off and sends him to a motel
    or home!  Then again, she could rip-off her clothing and demand that
    he make love to her now, right in front of the roaring fire, in the
    middle of the Karastan!  If this does happen --> then she better be
    prepared for some serious carpet burns!  Dimitri is one serious 
    love-hungry love-muffin --> right about now!  (^%  He was practically
    about to start howling when Nasty Natalie opened her front door!!!
    
    I could swear I heard him gurgle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Steph!  Did you get my package yet???????????????????????????????
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    DC - Lake Tahoe, round bed with ceiling mirror?????  Cheating on your
    wife already???????  Steph will be crushed!!!!!!  But, that's what you
    get when your role model is AMC --- or should I say, all the promiscous
    men on that show who hop from bed to bed, woman to woman.
    
    Steph - Print a copy of note .6194, it should be great evidence in the
    divorce hearing.....remember to file in CA, they have automatic
    community property.  Hope you didn't sign a pre-nup!
    
    :-)  :-)  :-)

    Ahum...........more than Tracey missed you, dc!
    
    Well, I said I was bored with the Loving storyline, and now I'll just
    have to fess up........I'm bored with AMC's storylines.....all of them!
    
    
    

    
    
    Guess what store is open here at Gurnee Mills (outlet mall with
    supposedly 400 stores to be opened)....
    
    	A GEOFFREY BEENE (BEANE) outlet!
    
    Do you think Myrtle ordered Ceara's dress from here?  
    
    ha ha
    
    Jackie

    --dc/VALMONT-->  Yes, --dc I truely missed you here in AMC.  I
    am sooooooooooooo glad my partner in bashing is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am sooooooooooooooo happy to know that you agree with me on
    DUMB DUMB DUMB DIXIE's new hair do. *^)  I truely can't figure
    out how she can think her hair looks good.  You have me 
    laughing on your notes. *^)
    
    I am glad that your New Years Eve was a success.  Sounds like
    you hit the JACKPOT on the slot machines.  I hope you have
    recovered. *^) 
    
    DUMB DIXIE  has really taken a turn for the worst on AMC.
    Why she let Hotlips over for the night to sleep is beyond me. 
    Like I said I am surprised that DUMB DUMB DIXIE did not demand
    to sleep with her GOOD FRIEND for the night.  I would have
    thought it would have been Jr. that would be inviting 
    guests for a sleepover.  
    PPPLLLLLEEEESSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I feel it is time for a
    few TYLENOL and I just got here. *^) *^)
    
    Jan-->  You like DUMB DUMB DIXIE's do.  Oh Nooooooo it is
    you and Steph that like that montrosity of a horror sight
    for sore eyes. *^)
    
    Hey when NASTY NAT opened the door her eyes widened and
    moved around in a 360 degree circle as she was sooooooooo
    happy to see Dimitri.  I do believe it looks like she may
    rip his clothes off as we can truely get the idea that
    her hormones are running wild again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    I loved seeing Jeze again brunette and all she is worth
    watching!!!!!!!!!!!!  When I see her on AMC she is great.
    Now Jeze is entertaining. *^)
    
    Jackie-->  I can't believe there is a Jeffrey Beane outlet
    in Gurnee Mills.  I am truely glad I got my dress elsewhere
    cause if mine looked like $$$$eara's I would have had a
    serious hip removal and would definetely not have bought
    such a UGLY dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Anyways, welcome back again --dc/VALMONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    
    Welcome home DC.  I'm glad you had such a wonderful time in Tahoe
    with the Golden Age Gambling Bus tours.  Hope you didn't light a
    match in the casino.  All that polyester would produce an inferno
    ten times hotter than the sun.  Did you manage to ski???
    
    Thank you for elaborating on the pearls.  It is true that a decent
    pair of faux pearls will be individually knotted.  The FP used to
    sell jewelry in Bloomingdales many years ago, and can verify this
    fact.  If that drip dry weenie Craig was stupid enough to buy
    fabulous faux WITHOUT individual knots, and that blithering idiot
    Dixie can't tell, well then, PUHHHHHHHLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSEEE
    don't let these two PROCREATE!!!!  
    
    Maybe hefty $$$eara would've been better off with a white (or OFF
    WHITE) MUUMUU to cover up her Rubenesque thighs and hips.  And
    DC, now that you mention Jacques Penney, perhaps that is where
    that insufferably spineless wimp Craig purchased the faux pearls....
    or was it Le MART du K??????????????
    
    Since the Official FP Spousal Unit was able to figure out Picture-in-Picture
    for the endless barrage of noon to midnight bowl games on New Years, he
    has been harshly charged to figure out the !@#$%^&*ing VCR/Cable/big
    TV coordination.  The FP has not seen AMC in THREE WEEKS!
    
    FP
    
    

    
    DC ---> Welcome back!  No, I haven't received your package yet, but you
    can bet that I'll be running to the mailbox daily until it arrives!!  I
    missed you...
    
    Tracey --> --Steph DID NOT say that she likes Dixie's new "do."  What
    --Steph did say was that she doesn't love it, but she doesn't hate it.
    It looked purely hateful on Thursday all flat and matted down (or
    lacquered as DC would say...) - but it did look 1/2 cool on Friday all 
    puffed out.  I did say 1/2 cool... this isn't a thumbs up by any means!
    
    FP --> Does the Official FP Spousal Unit perhaps need an accelerated
    TV/VRC Repair/Hookup refresher course??  :-)  Hope it gets that
    equipment crankin' soon!
    
    OH, and Thel --> I'm not foolish enough to sign a pre-nup!  You can
    bet I'll be staking my claim on the "Hotel Californ I A" if DC continues 
    to misbehave the way he has.  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph-->  Sorry for the miscommunication on DUMB DIXIE's new do
    I can't keep up with all your do likes. *^)  You do however LIKE
    NASTY NAT's and have said you like $$$$eara's.  Which as we
    all know by know, I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THEM ONE BIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Even DUMB DUMB DIXIE's do can't even get a thumbs down it is
    just soooooooooooooooooooo disgusting. *^)  Put a bag over her
    head and let it grooooooooooooooooooooooooooow again. *^)
    PPPLLLLEEEESSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I can't get started again on
    the UGLY DO'S AMC has on these 3 rejects from the fashion
    lagoon. *^)
    
    I say not only lock DUMB DIXIE up but please give her a 
    book on how to wear your hair in 10 easy lessons. She is
    bound to be able to SEE THE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->  I totally agree with you that she did
    overdo the hair spray.  I mean what reason did she have
    to starch her hair so much you could see the creases
    where it was curled. *^)
    
    I sure hope they do spare us the details on Dimitri's and
    NASTY NAT's passion.  Hopefully a commericial will break up
    the horrid scenes that they are about to give us.
    
    When I saw a preview of Dimitri putting his foot down as he
    and NASTY NAT are drinking there famous tea he tells her
    SHE MUST DECIDE will it be DORCA or ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    
    NASTY NAT sits clutching one hand tightly to the cup and
    the other on her bosom wondering why Dimitri is [[[FINALLY]]]
    going to make her make a very hard decision at this time
    in her life after her time spent in the well. *^)  She just
    must still be sooooooo confused to make a mature decision.
    
    I mean pppppplllllllllleeeeeeeessssssssssssss if someone had
    to decide who they wanted one man or ther other, than can it
    REALLY BE LOVE or what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?  I can't believe
    both men can really be this whipped over her. *^)  What
    can they see in her besides big gun boat feet. *^)
    
    I think it really is time for Tylenol now. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
         

    
    Igot must have a thing for blondes. I don't understand this thing
    for Nat. I wouldn't touch her if you paid me to!

    I felt sorry for her when the well incident happened, but since then
    she's given Trevor nothing but a wicked hard time, and for what?
    Because her and her sister belong in mental hospital? Make a decision
    and get it over with! Please??!?!?!?!?!
    

    
    Cherie Dery --> I just read your note!  It's great to see you back in
    AMC!  (^%  Linny --> how's KK in LA?
    
    Thelma --> I didn't say I was with anyone in Tahoe!  Sounds like you 
    are getting crustier and crustier! (^%  Are you trying to cause trouble
    here on the West Coast? (^% It pains me to think that I was calling out
    your name when I cranked the handle on the slot machine several times!
    
    I said --> "c'mon, do it just once for Thelma!"  (^% All I got was three
    bells ($18 bucks)!  Now, I don't think I'll be able to send you the 
    fancy, showgirl feather and rhinestone headdress you asked for, I 
    wouldn't want you to get arrested, parading around New England with that 
    naughty, extra sparkle in your eye, as you sing --> "Hey, Big Spender!" 
    (^%\'
    
    Did you all know that G L O R I A is really from the South!  I think
    she is from Alabama?  She has a hint of a Southern accent in her voice
    when she gets mad!  This BLACKMAILING doll really knows how to sock it 
    to Creepy Craig!  I have a hunch that Craig is going to [[KILL]] 
    her!  )^%  
    
    FP --> it may be time to call for video reinforcements!  Maybe the 
    store that sold this extensive video equipment could offer a little 
    assistance in hooking it all back together?  (^%  Then your hubby
    could effectively save face!  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    
    DC ---> You're truly a work of art!  It's a joy to have you and your
    wit back in the file!
    
    --Steph
    

    Maybe Gloria will begin to like Dixie too much to hurt her.  She's
    spending an awful lot of time with her and Dixie is doing alot of
    really nice things.  I think Gloria is a good character and maybe 
    they should pair her up with Dimitri rather than kill her off.

It's right from DC's own mouth! ---> He was calling THEL's name and NOT YOURS!

Little Valmont the II is just livid over here from DC's confession that he was
calling another woman's name besides yours!  (Personally, I think LVII has a
slight crush on your from the dinner and wants to go to the next one!)  He
keeps screaming that he wants to call his dad and have him give 150 smacks
to DC!

    --dc/VALMONT-->  I love it G L O R I A is from Alabama!!!!!!!
    I can now hear the accent coming out of the woodworks, but
    then again you know she is DUMB DUMB DIXIE's GOOD FRIEND. *^)
    Poor Hotlips she is really in for trouble if she hangs around
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE toooooooo long. *^)
    
    /prc-->  I like those faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  I sure
    wonder what Prince Igor really sees in NASTY NAT considering
    I don't [[really]] think NASTY NAT has blonde hair, thank
    goodness it would give us blondes a bad name. *^)
    
    More after AMC. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    Cook --> it looks like we agree (Tracey too) about Nasty Natalie!!!
    
    Nasty Natalie, Dumb Dixie and that Donna Beck person are perennial 
    gimme gimme victim types.....  When all three of these bleached
    blonde killer bimbo's are on the same show --> I have to rub my 
    body with garlic cloves to prevent myself from attacking the TV
    screen!  (^%  
    
    Dumb Dixie is going to resign her job at the GLAM-O-RAMA, selling
    cosmetics, so she can be a volunteer at the hospital with G L O R I A!

    Steph --> if ya don't hate Dumb Dixie's hair and ya don't like it,
    well then does that mean you are ambivalent?  (^%  Ya know what they 
    say about ambivalent people!  (^%  Just ask Lisa-Marie!!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    IMHO:
    
    Natalie looked lovely yesterday!  She sure is so much more attractive
    that quivering lips Erica tee hee
    
    Guess who???????????

    
    NOT!

    Here is the update for 1/7......
    
    NASTY NAT and Dimitri yes, give us a replay of starting off where
    is is in the couch planted like a couch as there is a knock at
    the door and she answers it as Dimitri's plants a big kiss and
    takes the ever so rapidly moving hormones of NASTY NAT's racing. *^)
    
    Dimitri then wants to know is she would like to take a cruise
    since she is doing nothing!!!!!! *^)  NASTY NAT is surprised
    as she is not quick to jump at his offer.
    
    Dimitri continues making his offer to tempting as he demands
    a answer if she loves him, there is a pause.  NASTY NAT then
    says she does love Dimitri.  He wastes no more time as he
    plants a BIG KISS on her and squeezes her sooooooo tightly
    that I think he had to have popped one of her buttons. *^)
    I mean ppppplllllllleeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dimitri then is standing there with his arms around her
    telling her how good she looks how much at peace she is.
    She tells him that she has to tell him that she IS IN
    LOVE WITH DORCA TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    NASTY NAT then says she had to tell him because she 
    really does love DORCA.  Dimitri starts to talk to
    her as the phone rings and it is DORCA he tells her
    if she is there it is important to pick up the phone.
    
    DORCA is at the prison where he tells Jeze he has reaches
    a answer about the baby.  He tells her he accepts full
    responsibility of the baby morally and financially.  Jeze is
    flabergasted as she can't believe this.
    
    DORCA continues to say that he will make a home and raise
    the baby in a good home.  Jeze then wants to know if he
    HATES the baby as much as he hates her.  DORCA tells her
    that he doesn't hate the baby.
    
    Jeze tells DORCA before he leaves that she has one more
    question does NASTY NAT know about the decision he has
    made.  DORCA doesn't answer as she laughs and says to
    herself after DORCA leaves that she didn't think so.
    
    This is when DORCA goes home and is thinking about what
    Jeze said to him about NASTY NAT not knowing and he
    picks up the phone to call her.
    
    NASTY NAT says she has to answer it and picks it up
    as DORCA says he went to see Jeze and he has to tell
    her what is on his mind.  He first mentions good old
    Jamie and then he tells her that he went to see Jeze
    and is taking full responsibility.
    
    NASTY NAT gasps for air as she tells him that she isn't
    at all surprised.  DORCA tells her that she has to know
    this when she is making her decision.  NASTY NAT while
    clutching her bosoms while trying to gasp for air says
    she has to go and quickly hangs up.  She is somewhat
    in shock.
    
    Dimitri can see there is something wrong and doesn't
    want to pry, so quickly sees this opportunity to 
    keep on pleaing his case for her sole love for him.
    He asks her if he can tell her one more thing before
    he goes this is when he tells her he wants an answer
    for her choice.
    
    NASTY NAT stands there in horror again as she tells
    him she is coming home tonight and will have a
    answer when she returns, Dimitri leaves.
    
    NASTY NAT quickly picks up the phone and spreads the
    news to DORCA that she will be returning tonight
    with an answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  DORCA is surprised. *^)
    
    Jeze gets a visitor from Dr. DoGood where he is unhappy
    with her for not eating all of her food groups for her
    meals.  They discuss with each other how much she needs
    her nutrition and she agrees.
    
    Jeze then tells him she has something to tell him about
    DORCA visiting her.  Dr. DoGood wants to know what he
    wanted.  Jeze tells him that DORCA wants to take full
    responsibility of the baby.
    
    Dr. DoGood starts to get a bit uptight when he starts
    to realize what DORCA wants, at first he was happy that
    he was, but then he tries to tell Jeze that she can't
    think she should think that this decision is going
    to change his feelings towards her.
    
    Jeze is glowing as she thinks it already has. *^) He
    doesn't want this to cloud her judgement.  He wants
    her to examine his alterior motives.  She keeps on
    insisting that she loves DORCA.
    
    She tells Dr. DoGood that DORCA admitted that he loved
    the baby and she thinks that since the baby is a part
    of her then he will love her.
    
    Brooke and Jack are having a television debate about
    pronography on the talk show chipping away on the
    constitution and Brooke is not at one of her better
    forms with Jack.
    
    They are getting ready to go on the air and the air
    is about as thick where you could cut the tension
    between the two.  Brooke is muttering to herself as
    Jack cheerfully says if you are not comfortable
    defending your position.......then Brookes says 
    if you don't mind I'd like to read my notes. *^)
    
    Livia and Tom are in the backround talking small talk
    about the wedding as they begin a debate between 
    themselves and get into a argument.  Livia the most
    liberated opinionated person gets her feathers once
    again in a uproar.
    
    Brooke and Jack continue there face the nation on
    pronogrphy debate and have a most unlawful debate
    on television.  Jack tries to not make Brooke out
    to look so bad as he couldn't control himself anymore.
    
    They begin to show there true colors on there 
    opinions and end up making each other look bad.  
    Time was up on the air and Jacks says cheerfully
    once again is that paddle bloody enough to show
    my respect for you.
    
    Brooke didn't like that comment as she tells him to
    shut-up.  She runs to Tom where they discuss how
    mad she is at ever coming on television and making
    a fool out of herself.  She then even says she 
    wants to fire Alyce for getting in this.
    
    Jack meanwhile is over talking to the ever so opinionated
    Livia on how he made himself look bad and he can't
    believe he did this on tv. 
    
    Just then the announcer from the tv show comes up to
    them and says she got permission to have them on for
    another week.  Both of there mouths drop to the floor
    as they say no at first to doing it again, but then
    have no choice but to go along with it again.
    
    $$$eara and Jerm are about to light candles and start
    to have a romantic start as Timmy comes over.  They
    are happy to see him, but then they get a phone call
    it is the famous Doodles who wants to know if Timmy
    is there they tell her yes.
    
    Timmy came over cause he is upset that DORCA doesn't
    like him anymore cause he didn't show up for there
    horse riding.  Jerm and $$$eara tries to convince him
    that DORCA does love him.
    
    DORCA then shows up and he is happy he takes Timmy
    back to his place and tells him the truth about Jeze
    and him agreeing to take responsibility of the baby.
    Timmy is surprisingly happy that he told him and
    is happy that he is.
    
    The scenes with Jack and Brooke were priceless and
    ecspecially with Livia and Tom in the backround adding
    there comedy lines. *^)
    
    That was about it for today.

    A great  B I G  welcome back to the FP and dc/Valmont!!!!
    
    Don't all you AMC noters be jealous that dc was calling out Thel's
    name.  My spies inform me that dc had at least a dozen slots going
    at once and he would call out a different noters name each time
    he pulled the handle on one of those slots.  He was quite a sight
    in his fuscia tux and paisley bow tie...surrounded by showgirls!
    
    Dumb Dumb Dixie's hair looks like she copied it from the Queen Mother!
    Why doesn't Creepy just tell DDD that Gloria is pulling a Fatal
    Attraction on them.  He should try to get his hands on that videotape.
    I don't think he will kill Gloria, she is too good a character to
    get rid of.
    
    I absolutely cannot stand the thought of Livia and Tom together.
    I can't figure out what he sees in her.  Terrance is too old for
    Tom to pretend he's Terrance's father!

    When did Tom get the black eye anyway?

    
    /prc ---> Tom got the black eye on the ski trip that Mimi and Derick
    the DORK invited he and that Livia person on.  I'm not sure what caused
    it exactly (probably bashed into a tree while looking at little kids
    skiing down the slope that he wanted to play Father to), but he got the
    black eye and that Livia person sprained her ankle.

    Tom got the black eye when Livia tripped over the curb and bashed him
    in the face with her skis.

    Erica is more like "a totally balding, ranting & raving little beast,
    (with poor taste in wedding attire)!"
    
    Right Jackie???  :-)  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    
    Balding? I never noticed.

    A lot of people know my opinion about Erica but I must repeat.  I can't
    stand her.  I rejoice everytime Susan Lucci goes to make a movie or
    takes a vacation because it means no Erica.  And, it also means no
    Erica and Jack, who most of the time, I ff through anyway because I
    hate watching her jump up and down on the bed when their together.  I
    cringe every time I hear her say "Oh Jack".  To redeem myself a little,
    I did enjoy the Erica scenes during the Janet holding Hayley hostage
    crisis and the ones when she was dressed up to expose the Senetor, to
    lure Jack to her rescue. Adam coming instead of Jack was hysterical.
    
    Maybe it's me.  I just have a problem with manipulative, scheming,
    self-centered liars.  Yes, I have a problem with Whoria too.  Adam's
    saving grace in my eyes is his sense of humor.  He really can be funny
    at times, but I do have a problem with his wanting to marry everyone
    who comes his way.  He's like Tom and the fatherhood thing.
    
    OK.  Flame off now.

    Another Erica hater here.  I used to think Erica was the whole show but
    I am so tired of her, between movies, mini-series, and commercials
    she is on constantly.  I am sick of her face and her UGLY neck!
    
    I thought Erica's wedding 'garb' made her look like:
    
    	THE MOTHER OF A SOLID GOLD DANCER !
    
    Just had to get that off my chest, now back to the closet.
    

    RIGHT ON STEPH-CHERYL AND HERNDONK!
    
    WE KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT ERICA!
    
    Yes, I know I'm shouting......I wanted to!  %^)
    
    
    These people who are blinded by that awful wench just make me
    aggrivated %^{ (not really)! Just Kidding!  But she is blinding a lot
    of people!
    
    And yes......take a good look..........she is going bald!
    
    Yup dc, I agree, Nat will take Trevor.........but only for this reason:
    
    		TRUE LOVE!
    
    tee hee
    
    
    Jackie
    

    My goodness was in a few hours meeting and a ton of notes
    have come through. *^)
    
    PPPPPLLLLLLLEEEESSSEEEE how could anyone not like Erica Kane?!?!?!?
    She BTW has a full head of hair that is not only full but full
    of body, color and life......
    
    Now NASTY NAT can't decide if her hair color should be blonde
    or brunette and why can't she decide how she wants to wear it
    it goes from bad to worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->  Comments on today's spoiler
    
    You know --dc after today's show I can't hardly even see
    Jack coming by to give Jamie a B'Day present.  They like
    totally [[hate]] each other.  I think her trench coat
    days are over with Jack. *^) *^) 
    
    Livia on the other hand with Tom was a blast.  I think
    Tom needs a woman like Livia to keep him on his timid
    feet.  He like has no backbone to him and can't really
    make a stance and stick to it.
    
    All of Tom's woman have like run all over him it seems.
    When is Tom going to stand up for himself and TAKE CHARGE
    OF HIS LIFE?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    
    /prc-->  You think Erica is balding, I hope not!!!!!! *^)
    I like that Bart man and a NASTY NAT hater is even better. *^)
    I am glad you see  and realize what a real woman is. *^)
    
    Jackie-->  NASTY NAT may not pick DORCA cause she does not
    know what REAL love is if it hit her.  If she has to take
    a trip to Aspen to think about it when she has 2 men 
    falling at her feet she deserves a cold shower and a trip
    to the well. *^)  All in fun. *^)
    
    Steph-->  What were you talking about when you said you
    were observing pictures like me, but then you said we
    don't agree on anything.  I am confused, but then again
    my mind is racing, pass the tylenol and quick. *^)
    
    doc-->  You are soooooooooooo right I like not much about
    good old bible totin quotin baking quivering southern
    butterbean queen from West Virginia and I have nooooooo
    faith in her talents to change Hotlips. 
    
    I sure hope for Hotlips sake she stays away from DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE cause the next thing we are going to see is her hair
    cut short and then I am going to get the barf bag for sure. *^)
    
    Well back to work again. *^)

    --dc/VALMONT-->  I do want to tell you that I did like
    Erica's wedding ensemble she wore.  I even thought her
    hair was great too!!!!!!!!!!!  You know can't these
    people appreciate change in a women?!?!??! *^)
    
    I still can't figure out ither what the opinionated
    busy body liberated Livia was doing at that television
    station.  I think she was just there as Jack's side
    kick to help him out if he needed a fill in. *^)
    PPPLLLLEEESSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!  We all know that she
    could not possibly DO anything for him to help. *^)
    
    Steph-->  I did reread that note again and still can't
    fiure out what picture books you are talking about. *^)
    Let me know!!!!!! *^)
    
    I think DUMB DUMB DIXIE tried to cut her own hair and
    totally like DID NOT KNOW what she was doing.  You
    know she has been on a crusade for beauty lately. *^)

    I just got the new TV Guide for next week.  In the Soap Section is says
    that during the week of Jan 6 (this week), Natalie informed:
    
    
    
    Trevor
    
    
    
    that it's over!!!!

    Comment on Cheryl's spoiler....
    
    I don't think that it's really over for Nat and Trevor.  I'm willing to
    bet that together, they raise Trevor's baby.  Or Amanda(great name) as
    Janet calls the unborn one.

    That Jamie is a doll!!!
    
    /red

    
    Tracey --->  You're a scream!!  What I was referring to in that note
    that confused you (sorry about that, hope you found some 'sprins!!)
    was your comment about Dixie getting a book on how to style your hair
    10 different ways.  You said that she could LOOK AT THE PICTURES, because 
    we all know the fool can't read!!  Anyway... that's what I meant.  Hope 
    this clears things up!
    
    BTW ---> G L O R I A could {{USE}} a decent HAIRCUT... Tracey!!! And
    let's not forget the root touch-up while we're at it! That nasty doll's
    hair is a terrible FRIGHT!
    
    And while we're talking about G L O R I A... let it be said that this
    HO must be going to the "Erica Kane School of Professional Bitching,
    Ranting, Raving, And Generally Annoying Everyone!"  All this narly
    b!tch ever says to that simering simp, diesel-engine breathing ---> CRAIG! 
    is "YOU OWE ME!!!!!!!!!"GET A NEW LINE ALREADY!
    
    Jackson has been overdoing the BLISTEX lately!  His over-sized lips are 
    always shinin' away. PUUUUUUUULLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZEEEEEEE!!!!!!
    someone teach this dork how to BLOT!  :-)  :-)
    
    Nat looks GREAT!! I was so happy to see her back on Monday!  The Prince
    Igor kiss was a little disgusting... but it's good to have Nat back!!!!
    
    Speaking of Prince Igor... I had to laugh (REALLY HARD & LOUD!!!) at
    his hair during the sword fight at Porkchop's new bachelor pad (which
    is a nightmare in itself!).  Igor kinda looked like Adam (except Adam
    has MUCH more and MUCH nicer hair!) with the top piece flopping down
    and to the side. They even went to commercial and I thought for sure
    when they came back the hair would be sprayed back into place... but it
    was still swingin' away in the breeze!  :-)  I still hate this guy!

    FYI - Soap Opera Awards are on Friday night.

    Steph-->  Thanks for clearing that up, now I got it. *^)  Even
    though I don't think we have agreed on ANYTHING!!!!!!!! *^)
    I am going to give Dimi the benefit a bit longer before I
    start to doubt what I know he can be. *^)
    
    Cheryl-->  Thanks for the upcoming news about NASTY NAT
    giving DORCA the boot!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    /prc-->  Now maybe DORCA will go to a real WOMAN such as
    Erica Kane. *^)  That would be a pair. *^)  BTW, I liked
    that Bart Man he was neat too, how do you do it?!?!?!?!?
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

Somebody please pass the barf bag.....That kiss that Dimitri gave Nat was so...
so...D*I*S*C*U*S*T*I*N*G!   Every time he grabs her and shoves his face in
front of her, I expect him to knock her unconscious with his head.  Kind of like
they do when there is a big fight scene/bar room brawl in the movies (yes, I have
a little brother and I've been subjected to a good number of those types of 
pictures).  Maybe he watches too much WWF matches at night or something.

Second, he always seems so rough with Nat.  He just shoves his 
constantly-puckered-up-when-I-see-a-helpless-blonde lips into Nat's face that
I'm just waiting for the day he misses her mouth and ends up planting the ol'
big one on Nasty Natalie's (escuuuuuuse me, Natalya's) nose instead.  And
somebody should tell him that those kisses of his don't look passionate!  
They look like he's trying to suck off her face!!!!

Dimitri go see Gloria!  She can show you how to update your Gothic Horror
love making ways to the 1990's!



Steph --> I kind of like Gloria's hair (when it is down).  But that's probably
	because her and Hay are pracically the only 2 with long hair and I'm
	obviously partial to long hair just like Tracey!


BTW, does it look like Porkchop is losing little weight lately?   Maybe he's
been cutting down to only 1/2 box of donuts a day.  :-)

    Lisa-Marie-->  I think DORCA is just wearer BIGGER PANTS!!!!!! *^)
    They seem to be just real baggy on him and he wears them below
    his belt line, so it seems as though his pants just don't want
    to stay up. *^)
    
    Jeze is looking like her old self again.  I like her not being
    a carbon copy of NASTY NAT.  I think that is what still makes
    me really like her cause she is her own identity and person.
    
    I don't think I could handle 2 NASTY NAT'S in full bloom in
    one show.  PPPPLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I sure hope when NASTY NAT gives DORCA the boot I can almost
    bet that she will give Dimitri the boot also.
    
    I can't see her picking Dimi over DORCA ither. This will open 
    alot of possibilities if she dumps them both.  Most all the
    elgible males in PV will be on the market again. *^)  
    
    Tracey
    
     

    
    Meant to comment that it appears Janet is back to wearing a wig, albeit
    a shorter one than when she first appeared.  I think it's pretty
    realistic of the prop people tho to take into consideration that one
    person's hair grows faster than another --> or you could intrepret it
    that Nat goes for regular haircuts where Janet does not.
    
    I think Amanda is a really pretty name for a girl.

    re .6236 /red >> Great minds think alike ... I predicted a few week ago
    that Nat would eventually get back with Trev and they would create the
    ultimate revenge on Janet .... RAISING her child together!   
    
    I have one problem with the Nat_two_men_love_me_which_one_should_I_
    choose dilemma............WHY DOES SHE THINK SHE HAS TO 'CHOOSE'
    EITHER!  Why doesn't she just say, I'll be friends with both of you or
    neither of you and leave it at that!   Is she THAT anxious to get
    married.....one would think she just needs time to be single for a
    while!!!
    
    Why the h*ll is Creepy playing right into Whoria's (I love it) hands. 
    Even though she pretends to dislike DD to Craigs face, I think she'd
    really think twice about hurting her.  After she and Craigs big
    blowout, I really thought Creepy was going to walk out saying, 
    "!@#$-you, I'm not giving you any more money, go ahead and tell 
    Dixie everything......"     How much did he give her anyone know?

    "unblotted lips!"  (^%
    
    In case anyone didn't get a good look --> Nasty Natalie with blonde
    hair SO light that it practically [GLOWS] under the lights, was wearing 
    a red shirt, an orange jacket, a yellow scarf and a bright blue
    skirt --> she looked like an advertisement for the Dutch Tulip Bulb
    Industry!  
    
    For a fleeting moment she actually considered the cruise offer from 
    Dimitri!  Suddenly, Orca called up with the news that he is going to 
    accept "full-responsibility" for Jezebel Janet's LOVE CHILD!  Naturally, 
    Nasty Natalie gave him the cold-shoulder!  Since she was in another one 
    of her ice-cold moods (they come on at the drop of a hat), she shunned 
    Dimitri, too!  (^%
    
    Well readers, can we stand the suspense --> Nasty Natalie said that
    she --> "would return to Pine Valley with a decision, tonight!"  She
    will pick Dimitri but she really wants Orca!  Doesn't this sound just 
    a little familiar?  It's just like when she married Adam so she -->
    "could rule the world" while she really loved Orca.  )^%
    
    There was more than a little bit of a spark between Orca and Jezebel
    Janet at the prison visiting room!  Jezebel Janet was able to get
    Orca to say that he --> "didn't hate her!"  Jezebel Janet looked like
    she is several months pregnant, already!  (^%  Could there be wedding
    bells ringing in the Prison Chapel, sooner than we think?????  (^%  
    
    Later, when Steve visited Jezebel Janet at the prison --> she told
    him that she --> "is going to be like a MADONNA, when she presents 
    Trevor with his first-born child!"  (^%  Hey Orca --> "Love the one
    your with!"  (^%  (^%
    
    $$$$$$$$$$$$$eara and Jeremy were about to have a romantic evening
    until Timmy showed up!!!!  $$$$$$$$$$$$eara was wearing a steel blue,
    silk, long sleeve shirt with a short, tight, navy skirt!  She was
    sporting another pair of black nylons, in yet another feeble attempt 
    to camoflauge her ahem, muscular calves!  (^%  
    
    Brooke and Jack literally ripped each other's flesh, verbally of
    course, in the televised debate over at WRCW!  The female host of
    the show was a tall, lanky doll --> called Judy Lee Siegal!  
    
    BTW, FWIW, Jack introduced that Livia person to Judy Lee as his
    "LAW PARTNER!"  Excuse us for asking Jack --> but Livia is NOT your
    "LAW PARTNER!"  Livia is your "ASSOCIATE LAW PARTNER!"  The subtle 
    difference would the two positions is like enormous, especially if
    you are an attorney!  (^%
    
    Since Brooke and Jack both got so out of control --> Judy Lee sensed
    that her ratings would soar if she could convince these two
    ex-lovebirds to return to her show!  She did and they will be back 
    next week!  Grab this --> Jack and Brooke really did a good job of
    debating the First Ammendment, pornography and the process of how
    journalist's won't reveal their sources, even if the source is a 
    criminal!!  (^%

    BJM --> I was wondering about the same thing!  How much did Creepy
    Craig give [[G L O R I A]] this time?  So far, he bought her a car, 
    an apartment, $10,000 in cashola and that check the other day!  (^%  
    
    I think he bought her something else --> but I can't remember what?
    Maybe a pair of earings?????  (^%
    
    G L O R I A can quit work and start clipping coupons pretty soon!!!

    What the heck is so damaging that Craig can't tell Dixie about it?

    Have you-all noticed Erica's like totally baggy neck lately?
    Her face is all smooth and unlined but her neck is the worst!
    Do you think she had a face lift?  Can't they do the neck too?
    I havn't noticed that Erica is going bald.  In fact, I always
    love her hair.
    
    I'm sure Livia was at the tv station just so she could run into
    Tom and Tom was there just so he could run into that Livia person.
    
    Nancy

    --dc/VALMONT-->  Thanks for letting me know what the ever-so
    confused NASTY NAT was wearing.  That was a great description
    of the advertisement for the Tulip Blub Industry!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    I can only imagine what a colorful sight she was. *^)
    PPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
    
    I really like the scenes yesturday with Jack and Brooke.  I
    could not believe how much those 2 have grown to dislike
    one another.  This has to erase any doubt that they will
    rekindle what they had.  Talk about a debate on different
    opinions.
    
    I thought Livia was going to jump in on National TV to
    give her unwanted opinions to all the world.  Who really
    cares what Livia thinks on something that noone asked
    her opinion on in the first place.   
    
    It looks like Brooke should hang that trench coat of hers
    back in the closet for awhile at least.  Thank goodness. *^)
    
    More after AMC.
    
    Tracey
    

    /prc-->  What Creepy has that he can't tell DUMB DUMB DIXIE
    is is that he NEVER knew Tad as he says he did and he has
    had a relationship with Hotlips when he lived in California
    and he has lied to DUMB DIXIE about it from the start by
    not telling her.
    
    He came to PV with the intentions of getting whatever
    money he could get out of DUMB DIXIE through her 
    Uncle Palmer.  I guess in the end he has fallen for
    DUMB DIXIE for real.
    
    He is also being blackmailed by Hotlips because she is
    threatening to expose what a jerk he is.  Creepy has been
    lying to DUMB DIXIE from the start and has not ever fessed
    up to anything he has done since he has been in PV.
    
    Hope that helps ya. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Also, the other day, Gloria let out a little more about Craig's past. 
    She told about how she would follow him around from place to place
    while he was scamming people.  He would get close to them, then bilk
    them out of money.  She said she was always there to pick up the pieces
    and comfort them when he was done with them.  She told about the old
    woman in the hospital that she had to comfort after Craig did his
    thing.  I would say that Dixie won't be too pleased to hear this,
    although she will probably forgive him, like she does everyone else who
    tries to con her and make her think she's crazy.  I'm just surprised
    she hasn't forgiven Will yet.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Let's change the subject for a second. Have they done anymore on Will
    trying to get in between Haley and Brian?
    
    Personally, I think Haley should dump Brian. He's too immature and
    way too hot headed!
    
    I used to hate Will, sort of still do, but he was right about Craig!
    
    /prc

    Don't forget that  G L O R I A  also has a videotape of her
    and Creepy doing the wild thing - after he married DDDixie.
    
    I liked Nat's outfit.  I loved the colors.  Lately she has taken
    to wearing flowing shapeless silky clothes.  I wonder if it is
    to hide some added pounds.
    
    Nancy

    
    Nancy --> I liked Nat's outfit yesterday too!  Hey, I don't know a
    whole lot of people who could look good in a TULIP advertisement!!
    
    Right ---> DC?????  :-)
    
    /prc ---> Nothing has been on yet this week having to do with Hayley,
    Will, or Brian!  I agree with you (Can you believe it?  Tracey, are 
    you taking notes???) that Hayley should dump Bri... he is a "lose

    Cheryl

    Here is the update for 1/8.....
    
    Well NASTY NAT is on her way home to PV and she is in the
    airplane daydreaming and thinking hard about her trip
    back to PV with a DECISION that she has to make.
    
    DORCA meanwhile has rushed to greet her at the airport
    with Jerm, $$$eara and Timmy.  DORCA has come to be
    there first hand when she steps off the airplane.  He
    has brought flowers of her favorite kind.  GAG ME!!!!!! *^)
    
    He is discussing with all of them how much he can't wait
    to see her.  She suddenlt appears as she sees Timmy first
    and gives him a big hug.  
    
    She then spots DORCA out of the corner of her eye and 
    SHE GRABS THE FLOWERS FIRST THEN SAYS HI TO DORCA!!!!!!!!!!!
    If that isn't just like NASTY NAT.  I remember (not to
    get off the subject) awhile back when NASTY NAT was 
    getting gifts for her wedding she kicked SAdam out and
    kept the gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  What kind of selfish,
    ungrateful kind of woman is she?!?!?!?!?
    
    DORCA is standing in front of her while his hand is 
    almost touching hers while she is grasping those flowers
    as Dimitri comes racing in to find DORCA there beside
    her, he surprisingly leaves. *^)
    
    DORCA then invites the gang to go out as NASTY NAT 
    relunctantly accepts.  They end up back at her house
    and DORCA wants to go for a walk to the park.  Timmy
    says no, but NASTY NAT agrees to go.  Jerm and $$$eara
    stay with Timmy.
    
    They get to the park as DORCA comments on the cold
    weather and of course NASTY NAT SAYS SHE LIKES COLD
    WEATHER!!!!! *^)  She murmors that this air reminds
    her of Aspen when the wind would be in her face as
    she was taking her long walks.  
    
    DORCA then says you must have had alot of time to
    think as he then impatiently wants to know what
    she has FINALLY decided to do.  They are now sitting
    on a bench as she is about ready to tell...........
    
    She starts off by giving the line that she has given
    this alot of thought and it is the hardest decision
    I have ever had to make and I have thought about how
    much I love you and want to go back.  DORCA senses
    bad news is coming, and says there is a but in there
    
    NASTY NAT then says she can't go back with him.  He
    is devistated as he says he can't believe she wants
    to give up on him as much as he loves her.  She tells
    him she can't forget about the baby and that is the
    main reason.
    
    DORCA then tells her he should have waited to tell her
    about his decision. She tells him he did the right thing
    by telling her, but she can't think of raising Jeze's
    baby with him.  That frightens her!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    NASTY NAT has the nerve to tell him that he is the most
    COMPASIONATE man she has ever known with a great heart
    as DORCA is not doing to well as he is upset as says
    he can't believe he is going to loose her as he stands
    up now and she hugs him.
    
    DORCA then is realizing what is happening and bids 
    NASTY NAT farewell.  She sits clutching her bosom in
    dismay that she finally made a DECISION and doesn't
    know if it is the right one again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DORCA is then in his car as he is listening to Michael
    Bolton sing "How am I suppose to live without you" as
    he takes a trip down memory lane when he and NASTY NAT
    first fell in love.  Yes, we get NASTY NAT when she
    looked a tad bit younger and her hair wasn't quite 
    as short and DAMAGED LOOKING!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Then they show Dimitri who is visioning NASTY NAT 
    and DORCA at the airport with the flowers and he
    screams DORCA's name out with a few choice words
    and Mimi hears this.
    
    She wants to know what did he do.  Dimitri does 
    not want to talk as Mimi insists that she would like
    to help and she is just glad to know that NASTY NAT
    finally made a decision.
    
    Dimitri gets impatient and ends up goingn to the
    part where that is where is ends where Dimitri is
    lurking in the trees and he sees NASTY NAT in complete
    sadness and says NASTY NATALYA.  It ends. 
    
    Terrance is working at the health club where Hay and
    Bry are talking as Swill comes in (/prc they were
    finally on again*^)) and keeps staring at Hay while
    she is talking to Bry and is working out.
    
    She finally goes over to him and tells him not to keep
    staring at her and he tells her he can't help himself.
    She tells him that Bry is here and would not appreciate
    it.  Swill does not care as he continues.
    
    Terrance and the ever so trying to workout Livia have
    a small chat about her relationship with Tom.  Livia
    the BOYCOTTING-HAVING-A-GUY-IN-HER-LIFE says that
    they are only friends and were chaparoned by Mimi and
    Derick.  Terrance finally gives up on her and walks
    away.
    
    Tom spots Livia and tells her not to overdue her
    workout cause of her ankle.  She of course has to add
    her opinions in how she knows what she is doing.
    Livia then makes a remark of how she likes Felecity
    and thinks she is nice and they make a nice pair.
    
    Oh no Tom did not take tooooo kindly to that as he says
    why do you think that cause she is the same color as I
    am?!?!?!?  Livia is in a total loss for words as she
    says that isn't what she meant.
    
    Tom then says he was willing to take it slow with her
    and she didn't want to.  I respect you but, don't go
    cheering me on with someone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Terrance is getting badgered by some mean guys that
    don't take to kindly to Terrance and are treating him
    very badly because he is a black person.  They tell
    him to snap to it and get them some juice.
    
    Terrance is upset by this, but decides he better just
    go along with this to not upset the club.  Hay gets
    wind of this and wants to (I guess as SOD said stick
    her nose in it) help him out by saying something
    to the racial idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Terrance does
    convince her not to cause it would make matters worse.
    
    He is then going to get the juice as he overhears them
    talking to Bry about there lockers and telling him
    he can get something for them when he gets to it
    cause they know he is busy.  Terrance is upset after
    he overhears this.
    
    He brings the juice and they give him a hard time
    about taking to long and end up exchanging some mean
    words.  Tom overhears this and breaks it up and tells
    the guys they are out of this club for good!!!!!!!!!!
    They tell him they have a membership and being the
    nice kind mind that Tom is says he will give them
    the money back that they have coming to them.
    
    Terrance feels bad and tells Tom that as Tom tells
    him not to feel bad as they were totally wrong for
    treating him that way because of his color. 
    
    Everyone has left the club now and Terrance is by
    himself cleaning up the place and the 2 guys come
    back in and Terrance tells them the club is closed.
    They tell him they have some unfinished business to
    take care of.  That was the end.
    
    That was about it for today.

    I totally agree that DORCA is finally FREE AT LAST!!!!!!!!! *^)
    He should be out celebrating his freedom with Jack. *^)
    
    I also have never seen the racial thing on AMC.  I really

    coma that will be terrible. 
    
    
    Tracey
    

    What checkbook is Craig writing Gloria checks out of?  It seems
    that someone would notice a good size chunk of change missing.. 
    He should be giving cash.. can't trace that.  Thought Brooke told
    him to tell Dixie the truth or she would.. 
    
    Does Nat know that Dimitri was married.. or still is??  
    
    Betty

    
    
    
    Nat is a ding-a-ling for chosing that GHOULISH GHOUL Prince Igor!
    
    --Steph
    

    Betty-->  You would think he would have given cash.  But then
    again when you are married to a DUMB DUMB DIXIE you can get
    away with alot and still not get caught. *^)
    
    No, I don't think NASTY NAT ever actually knew that he was
    married to Angelique, and ecspecially that he still could
    be married to her.
    
    Wait until she finds out about his dark dark secret. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    What dark secret?

    Spoiler Comments......
    
    NASTY NAT has not necessarily picked Dimitri yet, I'm not
    so sure she will pick ither one of them.  On the otherhand
    I can't see her being ALL ALONE without a man.
    
    She hasn't actually said she picked Dimitri though.
    
    Tracey
    

    /prc-->  His dark secret is that he is (was) married and
    Angelique was (is) in a coma and didn't tell anything
    about her.
    
    The only one that has any of the info. is Hefty Neigggghhhh
    Helga who is halfway sworn to secrecy who is just waiting
    to spill the beans, since she is his mother-in-law. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    Is Angelique (what a ridiculous name! But really no worse that
    Dominique on GH) really in a coma?  I know she's in some hospital
    in Europe, but didn't know the reason for her being there.  When
    was it stated that she's in a coma? 
    
    Thanks!
    --Steph (Who obviously hasn't been paying attention)
    

    Nat thinks that Dimitri's wife is dead.  Remember when Hefty Helga
    showed her the picture of Angelique.  Nat threatened to leave Wildwind
    but Dimitri persuaded her to stay and told her that Angelique died
    after falling off a horse.  So, she knows he was married.
    
    Cheryl

    Steph-->  I guess it isn't always good for me to assume, but
    Dimitri made mention to Angelique that her condition hadn't
    changed and there hasn't been any hope in years for her.
    
    That is when he went to Europe to meet with a Dr. to
    talk about her or something to do with her.  Cause when he
    came back he burnt all of her letters he had from her.
    
    Hefty Neiggggghhhhhh Helga then lost her emotions and
    broke down crying for him not to talk like this and
    throw her things out.
    
    So I guess it really wasn't said outright that she
    is in a coma.
    
    Tracey
    
                                  

    Cheryl-->  I didn't realize that he said that he was
    MARRIED to Angelique I do know he told her of her, but
    didn't he ever said the word married.
    
    I knew he explained some of his past with her and said
    he was in love with her, but I can't recall how he
    told her he was married to her.
    
    SORRY for any confusion!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
                                          

Yes, Nat does know that Prince Igor was married to Angelique.  Dimitri
told her about it after Helga showed Nat a picture of Angelique.  A and D
were married and A was supposed to have died in a horseriding accident (or
something similar to that).  Nat is supposed to resemble A quite closely.  
Nat then got mad a Dimitri thinking he was just looking to replace A and 
threatened to move out of the Gothic Horror Mansion.  They did eventually
work it through.  Nat also found out that Dimitri has a horrible temper at
this point.

As far as we can tell/guess we think A is still alive.  Every once in 
awhile D gets a mysterious call from Vienna (?).   There was also a scene
once with D burning A letters and Helga crying over it saying she can't let
go  like he can b/c it's her daughter.


BTW, Timmy isn't going to be happy about Nat calling it quits with Trev.

    
    Betty --> Dumb Dizzy Dixie got a big check from Adam and Palmer, 
    after she got married to Diesel-Lungs!  She said something like
    --> "...oh money, I never touch money, I can't balance a checkbook,
    I have NO concept of money.... Craig is the brains in that
    department!" (^% Then she handed the checks to Diesel-Lungs.  She
    hasn't even asked about the CASHOLA!  As far as Dumb Dixie knows, 
    Diesel-Lungs could have given the money to the Mustang Ranch
    Fund for retired prostitutes, in Reno!  (^% 
    
    Since they live with Palmer --> Dumb Dixie has virtually no
    expenses!!!!!!  Her concept of money is primitive at best!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dumb Dixie is like that Nasty Natalie marrying Adam for power and 
    revenge --> then she signed everything she owned over to Adam
    because she is so stupid --> then she has to resort to games to 
    get her property back!  She really deserved to lose it all --> so
    these two dolls are like totally beneath contempt!!!!!!!! (^%

    in mind that you're a married man!  Like your antics in Tahoe weren't

    Bon ---> Did you get my "message" ? ? ? 
    
    'Night All!
    --Steph
    

    --dc/VALMONT-->  I totally agree with you on the beachblondes
    in PV with no brains and common sense. *^)  We know Erica
    does not make those kinds of DUMB mistakes. *^)
    
    Even if DUMB DUMB DIXIE looks at the checkbook she certainly
    wouldn't have any concept of what she was looking at!!!!!
    Give her a picture book pppppllllleeeeezzzzzzzzz and send
    her to night school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  I can't even 
    repeat all of her past mistakes, there have been tooooooooo
    many to repeat. *^)
    
    NASTY NAT really has no logical excuse if she would get
    her life together and quit trying to decide which man
    she LOVES all the time she should be able to TRY to
    make an ATTEMPT to have SOME brains!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Then again, I'm not sure she has toooooooooo much
    smarts in her ither.  She started off sleeping with
    Jerm's father then having a child, then going with Jerm,
    then she is a maid at the Courtland's, then ended up being
    a mistress to Ross, then she needed money and she worked as
    a nurse at the PV Hospital cause Palmer kicked her out, now
    since she got lucky and received a large sum of money from a
    dying man she is on easy street.
    
    NASTY NAT not only then signs her money over without reading,
    but then sells everything she has AND STILL DOESN'T KNOW 
    WHAT SHE WANTS AFTER SHE LOST EVERYTHING SHE HAD!!!!!!
    Then she gets caught in a web of having 2 men!!!!!!!
    PPPPLLLLEEEEZZZZZZZ pass me the tylenol bottle again. *^)
    
    Where's Erica the sensible one, that always has a few
    good men in her life. *^)  If that is her only mistakes
    that isn't bad. *^)
    
    I feel better now that I said that.  I am on a role. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Right DC, Erica would never let anyone take advantage of her that
    way.  That's why she married Adam under duress to protect Bianca's
    legitimacy.  That's why the actor she hired to play the minister
    was intercepted by Adam and paid off and a real minister married
    them.  ;-)

    	   mondo bizarro coming from an HEIRESS!!
    
    /red 

    
    Good Morning AMCers!!  Yesterday's show was a trip, huh??  :-)
    
    All those spandex-clad Pine Valley-dwellers were just too much for this 
    girl to take!  First there was Haylo in a blue, waaaaaaaaaay low-cut 
    leotard with black tights, and like grab this ---> Her "derraire" was 
    like... RIGHT THERE!!!  And I don't even think she was wearing a bra!  
    Pretty risque' if ya' ask me!!  
    
    (I'm really just jealous because she has has lots more clevage than me!!)
    
    Then there was "that Livia woman" with... DC, GRAB THIS ---> A THONG!!
    leotard!  It was black with colorful swirls all over it, accompanied
    by black spandex pants worn underneath, which probably helped keep the 
    thong out of those places that don't see much sunshine... if ya' know
    what I mean! :-)  I was really surprised by what a great figure this 
    woman has!  She appeared to be in really goodshape!
    
    Brian the Buffoon was the "Geek Du Jour" in a "WHAT NOW" T-shirt, red
    shorts, grey spandex leggings that went down to about mid-calf, and
    HIGH-TOP SNEAKERS with slouchy sweat socks!  Someone, PUUUUULLEEEEZZZEEE 
    buy this poor, pathetic weasle a GQ mag!!!  He was a terrible sight!
    
    Oh DC -->  Your assessment of Nat's TULIP Advertisment-like outfit was 
    a smidgen off.  They were blue PANTS, not a skirt!  :-)  :-)  And she
    had the COOLEST matching blue shoes.
    
    I can't believe Nat gave Trev the boot!!  What a meanie she is! :-) :-)
    When Trev was sitting in his car and the song "How Am I Supposed to Live 
    Without You?" by Michael Bolton was playing, there was flashback after
    flashback of Nat and Trev.  Her hair sure has changed a lot!!  I mean,
    in every clip it was a different style.  My favorite (you didn't think
    I wouldn't tell you, did you???) was the scene where they were in the
    living room at her old house (where Adam now lives) and he started to
    kiss her and she was beating him to stop, but eventually succommed to
    her desires and they fell to the floor in a ball of passion!  Anyway,
    here hair was in a BOB, with a little buffon on top, parted in the
    middle, and fell just below her ears.  It was GORGEOUS!  What do you
    all think?  Tracey ---> C'mon... I know you like totally {{LOVED}} it!
    :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph-->  The more scenes I saw of NASTY NAT the more I needed
    a barf bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  She needs to truely put a bag
    over her head and ppppppppppplllllllllllleeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
    get a new clairol #9 that holds the color in. *^)
    
    I mean how many colors do we have to see let alone paper doll
    haircuts. *^)  Grow her hair out and send her to DUMB DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE to practice on each other. *^)  
    
    I wanted to be spared of all NASTY NAT's rancid hormones 
    racing as she puts herself in a mood of passions.  I mean how
    many times can she jolt poor DORCA?!?!?!?!?!?!?  She has sent
    him away a numerous times just to flee into the arms of yet
    another man, that she always claims she never loved!!!!!!!
    
    Oh no it's toooooooooooo early for this for me to get started
    on NASTY NAT, it might not be a good day afterall. *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->  That's right Erica has GOOD reasons for her
    misfortunes.  At least she is thinking of someone other than
    HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  What a woman she is. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
                                                     

    Erica never thinks of anyone but HERSELF! (Sorry Tracey.....but the
    coffee has been brewin'  a long time....and you just can't smell it!)
    ha ha
    
    I do USUSALLY like Nat....but yesterday she was a ditz....wonder if she
    has been talking to Erica lately?  tee hee
    
    J

DC & Tracey --> Also, didn't Erica selflessly re-marry Travis for her 
	daughter's sake and well-being?  A man who drove her into the
	comfort of the Staypuff Marshmellow Man...I mean Jack...when he
	was busy harvesting donor parts with Barbara.

	When has that selfish, cold-fish, large-footed Nat once even 
	considered her own son's, Timmy's, feelings in all of this?
	Then she cheats on all her spouses out of pure ravenous lust only!

    
    There will be a new D.A. in PV soon. Actress Countney Gibbs joins the
    show as Galen Kramer, she will be involved with Terrence Frye. In real
    life she was Miss USA 1989.

    Jackie-->  Sorry, but I think the coffee has been brewin' long
    enough and you haven't smelled it!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    I think you NASTY NAT likers need to take off those glasses
    and realize what cold, selfish,uncaring,bleached blonde(?),
    undecided,racing hormone individual she really is. *^)
    
    Didn't she show her TRUE COLORS yesturday when she sent
    DORCA for yet another cold shower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    Where is her compasion?!?!?!?!!?
    
    Where is ERICA?!?!?!?!?!!?!  Bring her back to PV!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Tracey
    
    

    Alright this is getting OUT OF HAND! :-)
    
    While I'm truly disappointed that Nat sent Trev packing, and think it
    was the wrong move, she was open and honest and very sensitive with him.
    She justified her decision to Trevor.  He doesn't like it, I don't like
    it, but she was honest with him and you can't fault ANYONE for being
    honest!
    
    How does that compare to a cold fish I'd like to know?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    
    And don't get me started on that balding, flabby-necked KANE WOMAN!!!
    
    
    
    * * 
     ^   ---> --Steph
    \_/

    Steph-->  I can't even imagine where to begin with NASTY NAT 
    the coldest woman around.  She would fit in well in Alaska!!!! *^)
    She admitted yesturday to enjoying the cold breeze, PPPPlllleeezzz.
    
    Now this goes waaaaaaaay back when she started being a frigid
    woman.  First of all she has a hard time showing any compasion
    to anything.  When she does try to loosen up you need to oil
    the joints on her to look NATURAL.
    
    She is like one of these kinds of woman that love doesn't
    come out as one of her traits.  There is no excitement to
    her whatsoever (now Erica on the otherhand is a HOT woman)
    with men.  Love does not play an IMPORTANT role in her life,
    cause she hasn't figured out what it means.
    
    NASTY NAT has been through about as many men as Erica, but
    it clearly has been shown that she has TURNED on them all.
    The charades that she has done out of the coldness in her
    heart has been unspeakable!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Does she really care for Timmy?!?!?!?!  Did she think when
    she got out of the well to RUN to get her son away from her
    sister who despised him, but Jeze had good reason. *^)  Now,
    anyone that wouldn't put there feelings aside for a child
    has got to be COLD HEARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    It took her sometime to snatch Timmy and tell him the truth.
    It was only cause she was afraid for HERSELF.  At least
    Erica gave up the ONLY MAN she loved over her daughter when
    she was on trial to gain custody of Bianca.
    
    Erica would DO ANYTHING clearly for her daughter and that
    in itself should say something. *^)
    
    Hope this helps alittle Steph, and it's all in fun. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
                                        

    Not only was Natalie's hair alot better in those flashbacks, but she
    was alot thinner then!  Didn't someone say that she worked with a
    trainer to prepare for her bikini scenes in Maine last year?  She
    looked alot better back then.
    
    

    
    Sorry Tracey, the FP has to join this Erica/Natalie argument.  It is
    just too juicy to ignore.
    
    You said that Erica gave up the ONLY man she loved to keep her
    daughter.  Excuse me????  Let's see....she loved Jeff, and
    Phil (sort of...) she loved Nick, and Brandon, and Mike, and
    Tom, and Jeremy, and yes, I believe she loved Travis the Weenie 
    when he first came to town, and I know I'm missing a few others.
    She might have even loved CHUCKLES for a week or two (Puhhllleeaassee!)
    ....and those are only the ones in PINE VALLEY.  So puhhhlleeaasssseee
    don't worry about Erica depriving herself of "the ONLY man she ever
    loved!"  For Erica, only men she ever loved are like buses, and another
    one will come along in TEN MINUTES!
    
    Natalie, God bless her, usually marries for COLD, HARD CASH.  Age
    is no problem, nor are heart conditions.  She married Alex, Palmer,
    and SAdam, NOT presumably because they made her THROB with ECSTACY!!
    OK, she WAS married to Jeremy, and WHY she ever let that one slip
    through her porcelain fingers, the FP will NEVER know ( I mean
    PUUUHHHLLEEEAAASSSSEEE!)  Now, she's going to go for another
    Richie Rich type, although this WILL be a hunkohunko burnin' love
    when he RIDS himself of that RIFFY GOATEE and (from what I hear) LEARNS
    how to KISS.  Trevor Dillon spilled too many Chee-tos down behind the
    cushions of her silk brocade couch (and even Winifred couldn't get
    those pesky orange stains out....)
    
    The Erica people think that Natalie is a selfish bitch.  The Natalie 
    people think that Erica is a selfish bitch.  The FP's opinion is this.  
    They are BOTH selfish bitches. Erica is a HOT selfish bitch.  Natalie is 
    a COLD selfish bitch.  They are both a great deal more complex and 
    interesting than the zaftig yammering yenta Doodles, Dixie of Stupidbrook 
    Farm, and the rest of the airheads down at the Glamorama!  Poor
    miserable Porkchop would be better off with a HOT selfish bitch, so
    bring on Erica, but be forewarned: EAT the CHEE-TOS in your CAR!!!
    
    FP
    PS  I THINK that the show taped today.  With my luck, it will be ALL
    CRAIG.

    Tracy  "gave up the ONLY MAN she ever loved"  - you forgot to add "this
    week anyway" to that comment.    :-)
    
    Erica has had many "only man I ever loved" through the years, but I
    personally think the one man she truly loved was Mike Roy and he died.
    
    As far as Nat and Erica being equal in the "men in her life" catagory,
    I don't think so but someone else can do that count. :-)  I believe
    that Erica holds the record for marriages, affairs, etc. for all the
    Soap female characters (NBC,ABC,CBS).....pretty good for a little lady
    who's been married to the same man for over 20 years in real life. :-)
    
    BTW:  I'm not into Erica or Nat bashing, I think both characters are
    great!  I do have to agree on a couple of minor things though......
    Susan Lucci's neck does need some tightening and Nat has put on weight
    (in her case though she looks better with her "chipmunk cheeks")  Oh I
    almost forgot, since I don't watch the show regularly, I have to agree
    with whoever said Trevor looked like he had lost weight.....I noticed
    it immediately last week, not just a larger sized pant, his face is
    thinner that the last time I saw him way back in September.

    I really felt sorry for Trev when Nat dumped him.  I really think
    she is making the wrong move.  I also really thought she looked
    great in those flashback scenes - she was a lot thinner then, just
    as I suspected.  She is wearing loose flowing clothing the hide
    new bulges.  I used to really like her hair but this new style
    (especially the back) looks totally stupid.  She and DDDixie need
    to take a trip to Elizabeth Arden in NYC to get hair lessons.
    
    I was also surprised at what a good body that Livia woman has.  She
    really looked fit.
    
    Valmont is a character from the movie Dangerous Laisons.  But we
    in-the-know really think it is the name of dc's favorite rubber
    chicken pet.  The one that dc uses to slap himself across the face
    with whenever he makes derogatory comments about Nat.  Because he
    seceretly has the hots for her big feet but doesn't want the world
    to know.
    
    Nancy

    Nancy --> I loved your description of Valmont!   :-)  :-)
    	It was PERFECT!
    
    Thel -->  I'm glad somebody else thinks that Trev looks like he
    	is losing weight and not just me.  I was beginning to wonder
    	if I was seeing things or not.
    
    
    The difference for me between Nat and Erica is that Erica is so much
    fun to watch.   Lately, Nat has been an annoying whimpering selfish
    idiot who I just want to smack really hard with Little Valmont the II!
    (who? me? violent?)

    --dc/Valmont!

    Here is the update for 1/9......
    
    NASTY NAT sits on the bench as she gets comfort from Dimitri
    who is only thinking of his chances of getting her all to
    HIMSELF!!!!!!!! *^)  NASTY NAT then blurts out that he
    wouldn't understand since he only thought of him as a
    bufoone. *^)
    
    Jerm shows up with Dimitri as they both ask her what has
    happened.  She looks at Jerm and says it is over for me
    and DORCA and I am worried about him being by himself.
    He was upset when he left.  Jerm is concerned and has
    left to find him.
    
    Dimitri then listens to NASTY NAT as she tries to give
    her dreaded appeal of why she did what she did.  Dimitri
    says he doesn't need to hear this, but she continues on.
    
    She then goes onto say the moment he told me he was going
    to take responsibility of the Jeze's baby I knew that I
    had to tell him I can't be with him.
    
    She then goes onto say the thought of holding, feeding and
    kissing it goodnight makes me sick and I can't do it!!!!!!!
    She sits there clutching her bosoms tightly as she speaks. *^)
    Then she even admits her dreaded faults by saying "What
    kind of cold-unfeeling person am I?!?!?!!?"
    
    Dimitri tries to tell her she is not as she continues talking
    by saying am I a horrible person?!?!?!?!?!  Then in the middle
    she says you have wanted a decision I should tell you. 
    
    Dimitri tells her not to make a decision right now she should
    do what is best for Timmy and should consider him right now
    and he can wait for a decision.  She thanks him as he then
    offers to take her home.
    
    DORCA has gone to Brooke's for some comfort as he tells his
    poor story to her. (I do BTW feel sorry for him)Brooke tries
    talking to him as Tom happens to be there to give him a few
    helpful tips.  Jamie then wakes up and Tom runs to him.
    
    DORCA then asks the stand-in father to Jamie if he can hold
    him as he has a good time with him.  Jerm shows up and is
    glad to see him okay.  They all offer to let him sleep at
    there houses, but he refuses.  
    
    DORCA says he is going to see Hay and then going home and
    does not need babysitting.  $$$eara in the meantime drops
    by NASTY NAT's room and tells her the news that DORCA is
    okay as Dimitri is there by her side as NASTY NAT is glad
    to hear he is okay.
    
    Dimitri tells her she needs to get some sleep as she 
    tells him that she would like him to stay as they sit
    down on the couch and start to have a conversation as
    the phone rings and it is Jeze who says GUESSWHO?!?!?!?!?
    NASTY NAT is gasping for air. *^)
    
    Terrance is in trouble as the thuds start beating him up
    and end up hitting him with some equipment and he is
    knocked out cold.  Poor Terrance this is not good for
    him.
    
    Everyone is starting to get worried as Livia is calling
    all over.  Hay was suppose of see him at her house as
    she was having a studying party and says she does not
    know where he is.  Livia then makes a call to tell
    Tom and he rushes over to the gym where he finds 
    Terrance knocked out cold.
    
    Livia before that was having her debate with Derick
    about Tom.  Derick told her that she should not like
    Tom because he is white, he told her she was foolish
    to be that way.  Livia of course told him that she
    has other things to worry about like her son!!!!!!!!!
    
    SAdam was thinking about what Erica had said to him
    about how he could make her walk down the isle and
    say I do, but he can't change her feelings.  Just
    then he gets a phone call and they say they can't
    find her, Sadam is not happy!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    That was about it for today's show. 
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Tracey ---> Wow!  You certainly have my nomination for President
    	of the Erica Fan Club!   As well as the AMC Update Queen!

    I haven't actually seen Brian's workout clothing yet but from the
    description it sounds like he is working out in clothing similar to
    what most of the males at my 24 Hour Nautilus wear.  Cut-off
    sweatshirts, and shorts over sweats.  Apparently, at my club if you are
    dressed too nicely/stylishly (this seems to apply mostly to the men) 
    then you are not serious about working out.  One must be dressed 
    comfortably (although I can't for the life of me figure out how having 
    shorts over a pair of sweats would be comfortable). 
    
    Jan

    FP  -->	Hahahahahahahha!!!!  How refreshing!!!  I needed that
    		laugh.
    
    DC  -->	Trevor and Erica -----NEVER!!!  Now Trevor with Brooke has
    		some possibilties.  Trevor would probably be the first man
    		that Erica hasn't had before her.
    
    /red

    
    
    FP:  Clap Clap Clap.....Bravo......you hit the nail on the head!
    
    	Erica:  Hot selfish bitch
    
    	Nat;   Cold selfish bitch
    
    You are good!  and I AM GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    JACKIE

    
    Jan --> HI!
    
    I know that look you're describing, but what Babyface was wearing was
    more like women's capri tights (you know, the feetless ones) with the 
    shorts over them.
    
    I would sooner kiss Dimitri (and you all know about how much I might 
    enjoy that... [BARF, GAG!]) than see Trevor with Brooke OR Erica!!!!
    I don't care for Brooke much (Her character is a wimp) and...well...
    I won't get into the Erica thing again. I think it's pretty clear where
    I am with that!  Right Tracey???  :-)  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph,  I know what you mean about Brooke, but this view of Brooke's
    character (wimp) is a fairly recent one.  Brooke has been Erica's
    nemisis since practically day one on this show......things took a
    decided change when she won the Emmy a couple of years ago and Susan
    Lucci went home empty handed AGAIN!  Suddenly Brooke's character lost
    it's drive and power and became sort of background for everyone.
    
    As far as Brooke always getting Erica's "left-overs", I don't think
    Erica ever "had" Tad or that goreous Frenchman, who turned out to be a
    no-good-nick.
    
    I think Trevor and Erica would be a riot!  Wouldn't last long though.
    
    I do hope they turn Tom's character around to what he was before his
    and Skye's divorce.  He was so good back then, of course (and DC will
    heartily agree) Skye made any man look good when he was with her.
    Right DC  ?????           ;-)

    
    Was Susan Lucci nominated AGAIN this year?  I'm sure it's in the
    "Awards Shows" note... but I'm too lazy to go and rifle thru the
    notes.
    
    Yano --> Perhaps there is a reason that Susan Lucci never goes
    home with an Emmy...  
    
    Thel, I wonder if the reason Julia Barr is being turned into a  
    wuss-bag (hee hee) is so that Susan Lucci will out-shine her???
    That's really "dirty pool."
    
    --Steph
    

    Well it is going to be hard to imagine who DORCA will end up
    with, anything should be an improvement. *^)  He does need
    to get on with his life and ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    I sure would think Erica is up for a nominee on the Soap
    Awards.  I can't see how this year would by anything 
    different than the last years. *^)  I would be surprised
    if she wasn't up there.
    
    It would be great if she [[finally]] won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I sure know Steph would be happy, right?!?!?!?!?
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    
    Tracey ---> I would be SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited if Susan Lucci won an
    Emmy that I would probably just throw up all over the place!!! :-)
    Tee Hee Hee...
    
    --Steph
    

Steph ---->  I knew you were going to say that!  I just knew it!
	I could even picture your facial expression too!

	:-)   :-)  :-)    Ha!  Ha!  Ha!

    
    Lisa-Marie ---> How do I look while I'm tossing lunch??  Attractive,
    I'm sure!  :-)  :-)  BTW: I forgot the pictures again. Are you ready 
    to like TOTALLY kill me???? 
    
    My goodness this is a looooooooooooooooooong day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Bon ---> I hope you're feeling better soon!  /red --> Thanks for the 
    info!
    
    --Steph
    

    I don't think Susan is nominated for the Soap Opera Awards this year.
    These are not the Emmy's but awards from SOD.  Susan hasn't been
    nominated for these in awhile....now Emmy people keep nominating her
    every year even if she didn't have a storyline.

Steph ---> did I say it that way?  Ooop!  I meant that I could picture
	your facial expressions when you made that comment about your
	lunch!  :-)   Ha ha ha ha ha!   :-)  :-)  :-)

    The awards are called the Soap Opera Digest Awards, so
    this is not the same as the daytime emmy's right?!?!?!?!
    
    I can't remember if they have 2 different awards.  It
    seems to me that they do. *^)  Someone please help
    on this one.  Thanks. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Thel-->  Notes crash cause you answered my question when
    you mentioned that Susan Lucci was not nominated and
    I was looking through the awards file and saw she
    was not on the list. *^)
    
    I just knew that THERE has to be another awards
    since she didn't make the list. *^) 
    
    Steph-->  You are spared on this one.  Hey can we here
    in Chicago see your pictures?!?!?!?!?!  I was real
    anxious to see them, I would send them back....please. *^)
    Even though we don't agree on ANYTHING. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Tell ya' what Tracey ---> I have dupes copies, so if I EVER remember
    to bring them in I will send one set to Lisa-Marie (who is practically
    panting in anticipation for them --> Huh Lisa?? (^% ) and the other to
    you, for you and Jackie and Renee "Perky" Riley to see.  Deal?????????
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph-->  That would be great, I'm at location code CPO, so
    if you send them to me I would gladly send them on to
    Jackie and Renee to see, since they are at the ACI.  I
    would really appreciate it. *^)  Thanks. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Thanks Thelma --> you just reminded me of one of my all-time favorites
    on AMC --> Skye Chandler!  (^%  I especially liked Skye when she loudly
    complained about how totally --> "stupid" Dumb Dixie was!  (^%  
    
    About any Erica/Brooke feud in real life --> I sort of doubt it, they
    have been on the show, together for at least 17 years now! (^%  There may
    be something to this theory about winning an Emmy!  Once Kathleen Noone
    (SP) won her Emmy as Ellen Dalton, her character faded and she was sent
    to Japan with Mark!  At least that's what she said in TV Guide!!!!!  (^%
    
    I'm in a bad mood right now --> I went to See's Candy Store for my
    weekly pound of chocolate-covered cherries and they were out of them
    'till tomorrow!  I had to buy a pound of raspberry cremes instead!!!!!
    
    --dc/VALMONT!

Steph ---> Pant! Pant! Pant!   ;-)  :-)

DC --->  Poor baby!  Why don't you come out to East Coast and we'll 
	make you feel all better! ;-)   We might even fix you up with 
	a nice box of CCC too.  ;-)

    Well, Well, Well...It took me like forever to finally get caught up on
    all the dirt in this file. I must say you folks are good..had me in
    stitches. I have quite a few comments, so be patient with me. 
    1. Why on earth are you folks so "livid" all the time with Livia?? She
    is but another sad victim of "I've been abused by a male, so I can't be
    bothered with a new one right now"..O.K. so like this happened 18 years
    ago. She just needs a shrink and a "Girls best friend toy." (If ya get
    my drift...)
    
    2. I absolutely loved, loved, loved the nickname "Whoria!" I still can't
    say it and keep a straight face. Creepy fits Craig well too.
    
    3. Dumb,Dumb,Dixie I must admit needs a labotomy. I do however love her
    make-up job.  Her face always has that radiant peaches & cream glow of
    the true "Georgia Peach!"
    
    4. I simply can't wait til Tad returns to find D.D.Dix married to this
    Creepy character that he doesn't even know!
    
    5. As far as Brooke & Erica are both concerned, I hope they get real
    with Brooke being a goody 2 shoes, 'cause honey I miss the nasty 'lil
    cat fights between these two Divas.. I say Divas, b'cause that is what
    MZ. English used to be..This new boring Brooke is BEYOND REALITY..and
    most definately BEYOND ME!
    
    6. Now about Michael Nadar. (Dimetri)..They are most definately wasting
    his good looks (minus beard) and talents..I keep waiting for that
    sultry Dex Dexter voice to slip out and force me into my hottest
    Lingerie outfit B/4 Dinner!! (Now, Now, Ladies..don't be coy..we all
    have "the hot" outfit stashed away..)
    
    7. And if you married Ladies don't, ya better get wid it! (Smile)
    
    8. Well, its nice to know this ABC Soap Crew exists..I had more fun
    reading than when I watch..
    
    9. Mrs. Moreland, I'm sorry I took so long to respond, I was busy
    catching up with this file...
    
    
    

    
    Lisa-Marie --->  Pant! Pant! Pant! away.  And drool if you'd like too,
    just don't pull a Tasha... if you know what I mean?!?!?!?  :-)  :-)
    
    Tracey ---> COOLNESS!!!  I will send the PIX to you, and you can pass
    'em around Chicago for me.  Thank you!!!  I'm sure Jackie and "Perky"
    (who has been TOOOOOOOOO quiet lately... and it's really NOT like her)
    would like to see them too!
    
    DC --->  Your package arrived last night!!  And you're wondering why
    you can't find any Sees Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries??  I think you
    send the entire CA stock to me.  :-)  :-)
    
    Cheers!
    --Steph
    

    
    JO -->  HI!  And Thanks!  You're right!  Now, if only I read my TV GUIDE 
    I'd be all set!  :-)  
    
    Hey Tracey ---> Wanna get me one of those Dixie picture book??   :-) 
    
    What Lisa-Marie ---> "NO COMMENT??????????????????????????"  :-)  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    --dc/VALMONT-->  Sounds like it is grounds to boycott those
    CCC's and switch to bon bon's or how about Brach's?!?!?!? *^)
    I guess it is what we have to resort to here in Chicago. *^)
    
    Guest1-->  Enjoyed your comments and truely stay out of the
    closet. *^)  I totally agree about Dimitri he seems to 
    bring the wild side out of the most of us. *^)
    
    When he truely brings on the charm (minus the facial hair,
    I agree) it does drive woman wild.  He has been in some
    real JUICY scenes as Dex Dexter and he always left me
    wanting to see more more more......... of him. *^)
    
    Steph-->  Again, thanks and I will be anxiously awaiting
    those pics in the mail.  Please do send them and you
    will get them back. *^) *^)  Even though we don't agree
    on anything, you are being kind. *^)
    
    Lisa-Marie-->  What's a Tasha?!?!?!?  Wasn't that your
    cats name. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    You should have it figured out by now, what with 20 replies saying
    "Steph, it's the Soap Opera Digest awards!!"  When I entered my note,
    the topic didn't show any other replies.  Must have been a notes bug. :')

    Jo ---> I still appreciate your answer!!  It's a nice feeling to ask a
    question and have 21 (or so...) people answer you almost immediately!!

    PS - If you're out there, Hi Viv!!
    

    I just stopped by dc's office for one of those totally rad cocolate
    covered raspberry goodies and since dc is reluctant to explain
    why the Bry-Guy wears shorts over his sweats, I told him that I
    would do it.  But since both dc and I are basically very shy, let
    me just say to you all - use your imagination and I'm sure you
    will figure it out.   I'm sure the FP can add her totally expert
    opinion regarding the appropriate work-out wear.  Let's hear
    it from the FP!!!!
    
    That ding-aling-dumber-than-a-breadbox-Dixie is really bugging me.
    Why on earth would she ask Creepy if they could aford a night out
    in NYC?  What a dodo!!  By the way, do you all remember when Will
    planted that $20,000 in Creepy's bank account?  Remember when Will
    got a look at Creepy's bank balance and it said $200,000???!!!
    Do the writer's think we are brain-dead??  What ever happened
    to that $200,000?  Did Creepy spend it all on Whoria?
    
    I'm getting all worked up over this so I will say bye for now.
    
    Nancy

    The harder I think about it the more I can't see Trevor with any
    of the current Pine Valley ladies besides Natalie.  Do you think
    they'd actually go so far as to make him fall for Janet as he 
    tries to be supportive of her for the baby.  Actually, I think that's
    one relationship I could see him in.  I can't imagine them keeping
    Janet's character on indefinitely though.  I did pause for a brief
    moment on the thought of Brooke and Trevor together.  I believe that
    Trevor is not even close to in Brooke's league but they do get along
    well and it it was handled correctly I might be able to get used to
    the idea.  Now, back off you guys and don't kill me for saying it. ;-)
    
    DC, I can only imagine the reason men wear their shorts over their 
    sweats since you haven't told us all yet.  I do believe my imagination
    is pretty close to the actual reason though.  Not too hard to figure
    out ya know. :-}
    
    BTW, thanks for leaving that little dark chocolate covered raspberry
    creme package on my desk while I was away.  It was very good.  I savored 
    it; biting through just the outside edge of the rich dark chocolate and 
    licking some of the raspberry creme out of the middle.  It was very
    good, but, it just can't hold a candle to those luscious chocolate
    covered cherries.  Now that I'm hooked on them, nothing else can
    compare (funny how I used to hate choc. cov. cherries before).
    
    Jan (who thinks that if AMC would just make Dimitri lose the goatee
         he'd be much better looking...I know, he could have a freak
         shaving accident and show up in Pine Valley the next day with
         bare skin showing where that hideous goatee used to be.)

    My NUBIAN SISTER,
    
     I don't think this I can handle being in the same file as you ( at
    least reading.).  I know you have come out of the closet but are you
    really out.  I must admit you were nice, but come on now get a little
    nasty.  I told you these people in this file were real and they would
    keep you in stitches.  I wish they were the writers of AMC, the maybe
    Erica (aww, I didn't win again) would get an award.  Now for my
    little synopsis on things.
    
    1.  Yes "WHORIA" is the perfect name for Gloria.  I love it, I can't
    watch her without cracking up.  I have to ff thru her most of the time.
    
    2.  Now you know all Livia needs is a good (hmmmm) with the right toy. 
    I think tom will bring her out of her tightness and then she will be
    ready for the rest of PV.  Although I can't imagine how she ever got
    close to someone to make Terr.
    
    3.  Wouldn't it be a trip if Thadius were to return and find out the
    Dixie loop de la married Creepy and he has dried her of her millions. 
    How about if he give Whoria a run up the creek with a big paddle.
    
    4.  Yes, Demetri can stand to lose the Go T, and let the real tiger
    come out in him.  Of course as soon as Nat stops clutching at her
    boosoms Angelique will come out of the Asylum she is in.  With Nat
    clutching her breast all the time, who needs surgery for reduction.
    
    5.  Folks, please keep up with the great updates.  You should think of
    writing your own soap about DEC's lusty affairs.
    
    I will try and come out of the closet more often.

    Well I know this belongs in EPISODES, but I had to say that
    I read that Tad has FINALLY made a movie it is a upcoming
    film called HEXED, which he shot in Dallas.  Michael plays
    a bad guy named Simon in the action-adventure story 
    scheduled for a fall release. *^)
    
    At least we all know he HAS found some work.  Hope this
    means he will end up back in PV after the movie. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Tad is currently in Spain filming another movie, don't know if he is
    the good or bad guy in this one.

    Michael Knight could make megga bucks if the industry were not so
    overcrowded with "wanna be" actors..who get paid just for good looks..
    (TAD)
    Now for some real "juice" I'd love to see Pheobe have a lil' fling with
    some rich old fart!  Jeeze they even cleaned up old Langleys' act!
    
    The worst thing that could happen is if Livia got gang raped..Poor old
    Tom would have to forget it...for real..
    
    I do hope her son Terrance will be o.k. I'm glad they are exploring
    this racial thing however. It makes for a sad reality.
    
    How chic, his mom is atempting to court a White guy, and he then gets
    beat up by a group of white guys..Go Figure...
    
    Janet is going to have a miscarriage..Nat will want Trevor back, it
    will be too late, he'll have moved on to perhaps a sexy new Brunette
    with deep Green or Hazel eyes..The lenghth of her hair won't matter..
    
    Dimetri will most definately have his turn at chasing Erica, who will
    most openly lust for him whenever Jack is in proximity..If this doesn't
    happen, I'll think the writers have fallen asleep at the switch..It's not
    like them to not let Erica have her taste of every swingin' D$*#K...
    
    I'm looking forward to an update on todays' excitement..ITS' FRIDAY!!
    
    (Been waitin' for this day since 8:30AM Monday Morn!)
    
    

    
    I couldn't even watch the scenes where those two thugs beat Terrance
    up. Any kind of racism makes my stomach turn, and while I think it's
    good that AMC is taking on such a hot subject... I had my finger HOT
    on the FF button.  This means too, that the actors did a fantastic
    job with these scenes to get this kind of reaction.
    
    I can't BELIEVE Haylo went straight from a vigorous workout at the gym
    to a study party... without ever showering or changing her clothes. How
    gross is that????
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph-->>  Hey Steph maybe she took a shower at the gym and
    then went to the party. *^)  PPPPLLLLEEEZZZZZZZZ I would 
    hope she did that. *^)
    
    Those guys were disgusting doing that to poor Terrance
    I hope Bry goes after him with his friends and gets
    them good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    TGIF guys ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    

    
    Tracey ---> It didn't look to me like she had taken a shower at the
    gym.  Her hair was EXACTLY the same!  And... she was wearing just a 
    long yellow sweatshirt-type thing, and her black tights were stick-
    ing out from underneath it.
    
    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    --Steph
    

    IMO: Seems like Tom would've stuck around with Terrance and made sure
    that he got to his car ok. Even though Terrance was trying to blow the whole
    thing off, Tom as the adult/boss in the situation should've realized the 
    potential danger.
    But I guess then they couldn't create this storyline.
    
    The writers could really do alot with Terrance's storyline. I recall a note
    saying that Terrance's attack would draw Tom and Livia closer together.
    In reality, Terrance could develop a real bitterness towards all Whites
    and Livia would have to struggle with the feeling of betraying her son if
    she goes with Tom, and betraying herself if she doesn't. She'll not want to
    cause her son anymore pain, but at the same time she won't want to 
    reinforce his new belief that all Whites are scum. I wonder if they'll 
    change his relationship with Haley and Brian?? 
    The possibilites are endless...
    
    Don't you wish we had a hotline to the writers!!!
    
    Climbing off my soapbox...
    LaurieB
    

    You are so right, they could do a heck of a lot with this story line..I
    can only hope that they will handle it as smoothly as it is being
    handled on L.A.LAW... Now there's a show for juicy stoylines well
    handled..
                           
    While all of America is watching, this soap could do a lot to dispell
    some of the negative sterotypical racial B#%$&*!..that is going on & on
    in our backyards everyday.
    
    Looks like we'll have to wait & see how this delicate issue is
    solved???
     
    

    Steph-->>  Hope Hay used deodarant at least. *^) *^)
    PPPLLLEEEEZEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!  And all that dancing she
    was doing while pretending to be studying. *^)
    
    Where is everyone today?!?!?!?!?  Kindof quiet. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    
    I'm here! (I think)

    
    Tracey --> I'm here, we're all in shock after watching Terrance
    getting beaten up, then that scene with him laying in a pool of
    blood was pretty hard to look at.  We probably should all be talking
    about it right now.  It might help us all get through it.  Senseless
    violence is too pervasive.....  We should try to do something about
    it.
    
    -dc/VALMONT!

    /prc-->>  GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Someone else is here. *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->>  You are here too!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is
    great too. *^)  I know we are all pretty shaken up after
    Terrance went through that dispicable torture, lock them
    up and throw away the keys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I hate when noone pops in when I am in here, yes I am 
    pouting, when I feel all ALONE and noone to talk to. *^)
    
    More after AMC. *^)

    This is strange!  Everyone was so FRISKY yesterday, and here it is 
    Friday, like  ---> {{FINALLY}} and hardly anyone is noting!  C'mon

    Welcome to all of the new noters, and a belated welcome back to
    Cherie!
    
    With that said, the FP is delighted to submit the first OFFICIAL
    FP report of 1992.
    
    Natalie, who had definately better cut out the Haagan Daas, wore those
    big bright blue silk pants, an orange short silk jacket with no
    buttons, a hot pink silk shell top, and a yellow silk scarf was
    definately dressing to cover up those excess LUMBOS that she's
    recently added.  No bikinis this year.  The FP actually liked the
    flamboyant and stylish outfit; it was similar to the elegant and
    flowing garb that Daisy (who tends to be a bit pudgy) usually sports.
    The bright yellow wool coat with the mandarin collar and diagonal
    buttons was decidedly ugly though.  Also, Natalie's hair is too
    yellow itself, and her lipstick was a pink-y fuschia which made her
    look painted.  Dimitri wore a stone colored cordoroy jacket with 
    a leather collar and an ivory colored cable knit sweater with a
    big turtleneck and dark pants.  He looked fine.  The sweater wasn't
    goofy, and for once, Dimitri wasn't too obnoxious.  Natalie made me
    sick though, still the victim, begging Dimitri to "stay with me" like
    she'd been the DUMPEE!!!  The FP has a feeling that Dimi has a pretty
    nice body under all those woolens, though.....
    
    PTOOIE, and a good month in solitary FASHION JAIL confinement for
    $$$eara, who should have the dollar signs replaced with cent signs,
    (but they're not on my keyboard.)  Attention KMart shoppers! Specials
    on Aisle 3.  Shiny polyester light blue button up blouses to be
    matched with shapeless and drab "wool look" polyester blend skirts 
    in drab gray with gray nylons to hide linebacker calves....Hair too
    garishly blonde?  No problem.  Dye it RED!!!!  This gnarly babe bags
    the choicest example of hunkdom in the Kingdom of Soaps, and
    immediately reverts to the kind of clothes nuns wear now that they
    don't wear the long black penguin outfits.  All she needed was one of
    those short mini veils that those hip modern nuns wear and think they
    look chic...The FP didn't catch the shoes, but she bets that they had
    CUBAN HEELS.  PUHHLEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!
    
    Poor poor Porkchop actually made the usually cynical and hardened
    FP's face scrunch up with sympathy for a brief moment.  But poor poor
    Porkchop remains completely clueless in the wardrobe department.  Teal
    pants.  Navy blue jacket.  Lime green and dark green striped shirt.
    Yellowish green and yellow big patterned tie.  Blue socks (the right
    one falling down to show a bit of $$eara sized calf...) and the
    crowning glory to this wardrobe equivalent of a slasher movie, BROWN
    SHOES!!!!!!!!!  As to the weight loss, his new haircut makes his face
    look slimmer, so its hard to tell whether or not he lost weight or not.
    Brooke was wearing a navy blue jumpsuit which looked silk.  The top
    part of the shirt was ivory.  It had short sleeves.  It accenuated
    her tininess.  Her hair is getting redder too.  First Doodles, then
    Brooke, now $$$eara....  Next thing we know, Natalie will have hair
    the color of Myrtles!!!!  Tom wore khakis, loafers, and a casual
    red sweater he looked appropriately casual.  Jamie wore white 
    pajamas with some unidentifiable whimsical baby print on it, and
    blue socks with little white stripes.  Quite the little GQ, although
    NO MATCH for the one and only Jr. FP......
    
    Hayley looked like a teeny bopper valley girl in a yellow tunic and
    black tights with a giant high pony tail.  She had some dark roots
    peeking out of the top of her head to boot.  Personally, the FP is
    getting nostalgic for the old black skull heads!!!!  AnLi looked 
    completely virginal and uptight in a severe navy blue pleated
    skirt, white tights, a white blouse with a round collar, and a
    red plaid car coat.  She is a very pretty girl, but let's get a
    grip on the wardrobe.  The FP did not notice what Brainless wore,
    except that it did have sleeves.
    
    ****By the way, Nancy, the reason that a lot of men wear shorts over
    sweats is the obvious reason, especially if the sweats are tight. 
    Remember the outfit Craig had on on his honeymoon trip across the hall.
    He would have been much better off wearing shorts over those riffy
    gray Woolworth brand tight sweat pants.  The thought of them makes
    the FP reach for the Alka Seltzer.  The FP does find it a rather silly
    style over baggy sweats, but the men at HER gym who just wear gray
    sweats with no shorts also tend to wear dark socks and plain white
    undershirt tshirts to work out -- this is a MAJOR faux pas in the
    world of working out.  The FP mercifully missed Brainless' spandex,
    so cannot comment on his getup, which was probably STUPID. *****
    
    SAdam wore a grayish/loden green double breasted suit with a pale 
    yellow shirt and an olive green tie with several horizional stripes
    in gold and off white.  The Italian cut suit was actually pretty
    attractive, except that the lapels were a little too pointy and
    gangsterish for the FP's taste.  SWill has taken to wearing tailored
    jackets again, yesterday's was gray, but he's still doing the
    turtleneck thing (this one bright blue) underneath.  He should make up
    his mind, because he looks like a GEEK.
    
    That Livia person had a greener than BRRRRRIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTTTTTT
    green skin tight suit with zippers with INANE golden tassles as pulls.
    Her suit was the color of the fake grass that you see in Easter
    baskets.  The jacket deftly curved around the contours of her ample
    bosom, which she clutched as the hour got later, and Terence lay
    bleeding at the Health Club.  The FP was relieved to see Derek in a
    pair of classic jeans, a white shirt, and a blue sweater, NOT the
    DREADFUL and HIDEOUS garish colored denim shirt/flowered tie
    combinations that he's been sporting lately.
    
    It's great to be back!

    --dc/VALMONT!

    Here is the update for 1/10.......
    
    Poor Terrance is taken in the ambulance to the hospital as
    he is trying to hold on.  Dr. DoGood Steve has been on
    his side to try to revive him.
    
    Terrance appeared like he was not going to pull through
    as he was given artificial respiration and he DID come
    to life.  He is now in a coma.
    
    Livia was called by Tom who was afraid to call since 
    Livia has been pacing the floors and he was told to
    call his mother since there was papers that needed
    to be signed, just in case.
    
    Livia arrives not in a believing state that he is really
    not going to be okay.  She insists on seeing him to
    tell him she is there.  Tom has to break it to her, that
    he would not know she is there.
    
    After Livia hears code blue by Dr.'s in his room she is
    now in a state of panic.  Derick and Tom both try to 
    now calm her down to try to disuade her thinking of what
    code blue means.
    
    Derick knows that Tom knows something and he approaches
    with Tom with a I WANT TO KNOW NOW WHAT YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!
    Tom tells him that Terrance was beat by just plain mean
    people and it was racial violence.
    
    Derick is now very upset as he races out to find those
    kids, Mimi follows cause she knows Derick is in no state
    to be be himself.  Derick goes to the place where the
    thuds live and they answer the door.
    
    They tell him to get lost ni**er and he looses it when
    he hears that.  As the creep was shutting the door in
    Derick's face, Derick pushes the door open real hard and
    throws the guy down to the floor.
    
    Mimi is getting a bit afraid as she tells him it is
    not worth it.  Derick is at gunpoint with the guy on
    the floor and that is how it ends.
    
    Dr. DoGood did explain to Livia that he is in a coma
    and is trying to elevate the swelling in Terrance's
    brain and they are hoping there is no brain damage,
    a Neurologist is being called in.
    
    Meanwhile Hay was notified and her, Bry and An Li
    are at the hospital also.
    
    NASTY NAT receives her phone call from Jeze and she
    says it is "Lady Madonna" checking in.  She then says
    that she knows NASTY NAT goes to bed with kittens,
    but she is up and had to call. *^)
    
    NASTY NAT then gets uptight and Jeze remarks that
    she is stuck with her as she is singing "We are Family"
    and not in such a good tune to NASTY NAT's liking as
    she is getting upset. *^)
    
    NASTY NAT can't understand why she is calling as she
    says "The prince has kissed me with no protection."
    Have you child proofed the palace?!?!?!?!?!!?  NASTY
    NAT then shrieks on the top of her lungs leave me alone
    haven't done enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dimitri then by her side tells her to hang up and not
    fall into the trap of what Jeze wants her to do.  He
    tells her that is what Jeze wanted her to do and she
    will keep calling if she gets you upset.  NASTY NAT
    doesn't listen.
    
    Then Jeze tells her that Dr. DoGood has told me I 
    should be cool and not be disrupted by such tones.
    NASTY NAT then lashes back by telling her that prisoners
    are suppose to be in there cells locked up and she will
    have the ward who let her out FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Jeze with her witty self tells NASTY NAT "How many men
    have you tricked into thinking you were human?!?!?!?"
    NASTY NAT is gasping for air and clutching the one hand
    that is not on the receiver as she tells her again to
    leave her alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    NASTY NAT then tells Jeze you evel, vindictive witch
    you can't touch me or hurt me again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Jeze then says toher does this mean you don't see eye
    to eye on the Steppie?!?!?!?!?!
    
    NASTY NAT is almost speechless as she shrieks out some
    more as Jeze says they call me disturbed?!?!?!?!?  NASTY
    NAT can take no more and hangs up yelling as poor Timmy
    is awake now and wondering what is going on.
    
    NASTY NAT tries to explain to Timmy that she is a grown-
    up and once in awhile grown-ups get upset and she shouldn't
    of.  Timmy says he understands as he tells her it was Harold
    who woke him up cause Harold was wondering what was wrong
    with her.
    
    Dimitri and NASTY NAT manages to get him back in bed as
    Timmy tells her she shouldl be with DORCA and that is all
    he is concerned with.  NASTY NAT does not have the heart
    to tell Timmy the truth as she feels bad.
    
    Dimitri tries to comfort her as NASTY NAT thinks he should
    maybe leave.  He convinces her he will stay as he then goes
    onto tell her some more things about Angelique.  He tells
    her that before Angelique got in her terrible accident that
    morning she said she had something to tell him.
    
    Dimitri found out what it was she was going to tell him
    was that she was pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!  Dimitri found out
    from the Dr.'s that she lost the baby.  NASTY NAT was
    horrified and felt bad for him as she decides to rest
    her tired head on his lap. *^)
    
    While she is cat napping Dimitri is thinking back to
    NEIGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH Helga's words of telling him
    he should tell NASTY NAT the whole truth about Angelique
    as NASTY NAT has arouse from her nap.  That is how it 
    ends.
    
    Timmy meanwhile has called DORCA to tell him that 
    NASTY NAT is real upset about Jeze calling her and he
    should know.  DORCA thanks him for telling and runs 
    over to see Jeze.
    
    He tells her she better never call NASTY NAT again!!!!!!!!
    Jeze says well if you put it like that, as she then
    says they are soul mates and that is why he made the
    prison get her up because he wanted to see her.
    
    DORCA was soooooooooo cold again as he tells her that
    they are sole nothing and he told her that they came in
    contact because of her and he had a life with a woman
    that he loves with a son that he loves and was going
    to have a great life until she ruined his life.
    
    He then continues to say that she is nothing to him and
    never will be and he hopes to never see her face again
    and he only cares about the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    He slams the door and Jeze is not doing well as she
    is looking unstable.
    
    DORCA is back home as he is thinking back to some of
    the conversations he and NASTY NAT had when she did
    admit she still loved him and they were maybe going
    to work things out, then he thinks back to when she
    gave him the boot.
    
    DORCA then gets a phone call from the prison where 
    they tell him he better get over quick cause Jeze
    has been sent to the infirmary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    DORCA asked about the baby and they told him to
    come now.  That was also the end.
    
    It was a great show today.  The stuff with Terrance
    was real sad.

    --Steph
    

    Well, blow us all away...Just got the word that what I predicted
    earlier today about Janet miscarrying that baby has just about
    materialized..Apparently on todays' episode, Timmy called Uncle Pork
    Chop begged him to ask Janet to stop calling his Mommy & upsetting
    her..
    Well Pork Chop sailed right over to that Prison, forced the warden to
    let him see ol' Janet..Proceeded to lay her out about calling Nasty Nat
    up with the obnoxious news of his decision..and stormed out. Upon his
    leaving ol' Janet doubled over in pain, and had to be rushed to the
    infirm..She'll lose it for sure..
    
    Let's see if the rest of my predictions will materialize...
    

    
    Good!

    Thanks for the great update.  I was searching for the tissues after
    reading about Terrance.  This is really a sad issue, but one that
    should be addressed.  Thank you to AMC and other soaps that have the
    guts to run a story like this one.  It could lead to a lot of things. 
    Yes these things do happen and not just in our back yards.
    
    I got so misty over Terrance I couldn't even deal with Nat today.  But
    you do have to give Jeze a star.  She really know how to let her sister
    have it.  Would you have liked to share the bunk with this one when
    your were younger?  
    
    Once again, thanks for the updates, I really do look forward to them
    everyday. 
    
    Tracey:  You are not alone today.
    
    Lisa

    /prc-->  What was note .6373 about?!?!?!?!  I tried your
    hit <compose> <space bar? "c" then "|".  What is it
    suppose to do?!?!?!?!!?  I am like totally lost. *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->> I did notice DORCA with Jamie and he
    seems to have the baby routine down.  Could you see him
    with is own, I think I could.  He would have all the right
    remedies of making the kid stop crying. *^) PPPLLLLEEEZZZZZZZ
    I was glad he didn't give him his WHOLE hand. *^)
    
    I do think DORCA would be a good father too bad he didn't
    have the right doll. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    It's how to make a cents sign. You have to hit the compose key and
    the space bar at the same time. Also depends on what type of terminal
    you have. I have a VAXstation 3100, but it should work on most
    anything.

    LMoreland-->>  You are welcome for the update.  I do enjoy
    doing them, I think if fulfills by day to do them. *^)
    I'm glad you like em'. *^)
    
    Steph-->>  Is that a new one by Billy Joel?!?!!?!?!?
    TGIF I'm sooooooooooooo happy. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
     

    Tracey,
    
    
    Please call me Lisa or feel free to make up something to call me if you
    like.
    
    Bye

    /prc-->>  I have a VT1000 I wonder if it doesn't work?!?!?!?
    I'll keep trying. *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->> You will LOVE Jeze on today's show she is
    priceless. *^)  She might make the Emmy's yet. *^)

    Regarding today's update...
    
    
    Knowing that Dimitri's wife was a one time pregnant, makes me think
    that maybe Angelique is dead, but the baby survived, with problems and
    is in an institution in Vienna.

    Lisa --->  You should know by now that it's probably not safe to just
    offer to let people make up names for you in this file. Heck --> Look
    at the AMC Character nick-names. :-)  :-)
    
    Lisa works for me!  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Lisa-->>  I will call you Lisa, okay that should be safe
    for you to like. *^)
    
    Steph-->>  You are right that could have been a wide open
    shot, to call her whatever, I'll be nice. *^)
    
    /red-->> Comments about today's spoiler....
    
    The only thing is is that Dimitri told NASTY NAT that the
    baby did not survive when he talked about Angelique.

    Steph-->>  BTW, I know that Billy Joel song and it is definetely
    not a new one, yes I am slow again today. *^)  Thought I would
    let ya know that. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    The plot thickens with this Goa-tee totin' Pollup-King ---> PRINCE IGOR!
    
    But really... who cares?  I don't!
    
    Tracey ---> Hey, I understand!  It's been a long week!  If you're slow,
    it's ok! :-)  Thanks for the AWESOME update!
    
    --Steph
    

    Lisa: I'm glad you were able to control your sniffles with my 'lil
    update..You are most welcome..Good ol' Mom called me to dish that
    Dorca/Jeeze baby dirt!!!
    
    I went to Macy's during lunch..Perhaps I'll select a dad to father my
    child this year, just like Jeeze did..
    
    Only I won't be selecting a DORCA!!  The pickins' are looking kinda
    good lately..Now if only I can get a candidate that'll under go all
    those STD's tests..The 90's ya know..Go figure... 
    

    .6391
    
    Yes it could be dangerous, but also fun.  Thanks for the warning
    though.  I appreciate it.  Lisa works fine for me too.  But with the
    Nubian in this file she could call me anything, because she knows me
    the best.  I am one of those really quiet persons with another life
    outside of DEC.
    
    Have a nice weekend.  I get to go home now.
    
    Lisa

    .6395
    
    Nub, you are one sick  p@#$%^, and you know what I mean.  Now that you
    are ready or even thinking of motherhood, maybe Travis would make a
    suitable donor.  He is able to make a baby at the drop of a hat. 
    Please be nice in the file Nub.
    
    OOOOOh, OOOOOh, OOOOOh, how I miss walking across the street to Macy*s
    on my lunch break, and all the other stores.  I can't tell you how I
    miss the grill/cheese and ham sandwiches from Al's.  And of course I
    miss your orange nails.  See now you got me all misty again.  I don't
    know why I am so sensitive today.
    
    Now back to AMC.  Demitri's dark secrets does make you want to say
    HMMMMMMM !!!! --->I may have to go out and buy a new VCR.  I don't
    think I want to miss out on the Terr storyline.  Looks like next week
    is something to look forward too!
    
    * I was on my way home, but now I will have to make a stop at the
    newstand to buy more tissues.
    
    Lisa

    I'm sorry ol' Misty Moreland..Have a Grand Week-end..I'll be purchasing
    some blank tapes for next week too...
    
    
    Later, Nubian...
    

    
    Nubian ---> Your notes are outrageous!!  
    
    Dimitri doesn't make me go "HMMMMMMMMMMM"... or anything else for 
    that matter! He makes me GAG, that's about it!  I was being sarcastic 
    (Who, me??  Never!  Right Lou???) with my "The plot thickens" comment! 
    :-)
    
    --Steph (Who agrees w/ya' about putting potential candidates thru
    	     STD tests!  In these times, it's a must!)
    

Steph ---> If you keep going "gag", you're going to have to go out and
	buy extra "bags".  I would hate to see you get sick all over that
	VCR remote control of yours!   :-)

    
    /red --> you are onto something with the Vienna connection!  Dimitri
    has a secret and it's living under a doctor's care in Vienna!  If it 
    isn't Angelique, and their baby died, well, maybe it's the child he had
    with Angelique --> before all these tradgedy's happened?  
    
    We can be sure that Mimi will worm it out of him somehow --> when all
    the excitement dies down, Nasty Nastalie will want Orca for herself
    again!  Only this time --> he won't go near her, not even with a diving 
    suit on!!!! (^%
    
    FP --> your fashion updates are totally tubular!  It's great to see you
    back in the file!  (^%
    
    --dc/VALMONT!

    
    Raq ---> Alright GIRLFRIEND!!!  Keep on VOGUEin'!  :-)
    
    FYI... --Steph won't be in the office next week!  I'm going ON TOUR
    with the DEC World Tour Roadshow to Louisville, KY and Cleveland, OH.
    
    I'll be back on Monday 1/20!
    
    I'll miss you guys!!!  :-(
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph-->>  Have a good trip, hope it is fun for ya see you
    on 1/20. *^)
    
    LisaM-->>  Make me feel good and tell me you were talking
    about my update. *^)  I like totally took the credit and
    want to make sure it was mine you liked. *^) *^)  I know
    I mentioned Terrance.  Yes I am pouting again. *^)

    HI Y'ALL, I'M ANN MARIE FROM TEXAS, AND I'M ALSO RAQ'S MOM.  I'M A
    DIEHARD AMC FAN FROM WAY BACK WHEN PHIL AND TARA WERE GETTING IT ON THE
    MARTIN'S FRONT PORCH.
    
    JUST WANTED TO LET Y'ALL KNOW THAT I LOVE READING YOUR COMMENTS. 
    SOMEDAYS I JUST DIE LAUGHING.
    
    KEEP IT UP!
    

    Ann Marie-->>  From TEXAS "Raq's mom"  HOWDY and welcome to
    AMC it's a great file and why don't you stay in here. *^)  You
    are definetely a fan of AMC from way back with Phil and Tara. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    Hi everyone,
    
    I hate to be the one to bring us all back to earth, but...
    
    I just wanted to remind you all that chatter about AMC is fine and
    dandy.  A little non-AMC chatter mixed in is okay too.  But, a major
    portion of the last 50 notes had mucho amounts of non-AMC/personal-type
    chatter in them.  Even the moderators are guilty of getting carried 
    away with chit-chat now and again and this moderator promises to keep
    and eye on herself in that respect too.  
    
    Please remember to keep discussion of AMC the main goal and personal 
    chatter as a supplement.  Also, remember that SEND/AUTHOR works great 
    to send the personal stuff through VAXmail without ever having to leave 
    ABC_SOAPS.
                                             
    To the person who asked why we don't have a personal chatter note:
    
    We feel that if we add a personal chatter note we may get some chatter
    entered there by the people willing to move to that topic to enter it,
    but, we'll still have alot of personal chatter going on in each soap's
    topic too.  In fact, we believe the majority of chatter will remain in
    the soap topic.  
    
    Right now we have a number of other topics available for a variety of 
    discussions and what happens is a) the other topics don't get used at 
    all or, b) a note will get posted in the appropriate topic, then again 
    in Loving, then again in AMC, and in OLTL, etc.  So, we end up with the 
    same note in 5 places so that everyone will be sure to see it.
    
    Well, I guess it's time to remove my moderator hat now and take it home 
    for the weekend.  See ya'll on Monday.
    
    I'll return you now to your regularly scheduled discussion.

    Upcoming News:
    
    Although Janet doesn't lose the baby, the doctors warn Trevor that she
    is in such a delicate mental state that anything upsetting could cause
    her to miscarry.  When Dimitri bullies Janet into leaving his future
    wife Natalie alone, Trevor is forced to defend Janet.
    
    Now that Terrance is on the mend, Livia agrees to date Tom.
    
    When Helga warns Natalie to be wary of Dimitri, he send Helga on
    vacation to Vienna.  Before Helga hits the road, she make Sabrina (the
    new maid) promise to watch Dimitri and Natalie.
    
    Gloria's greed forces Craig to embezzle from Cortlandt.  Unfortunately,
    Will suspects Craig is up to something when he catches him at the
    computer.
    
    Hayley tells Brian that she's not ready to get married.
    
    Next Week:  Sabrina takes notes.  Craig tries to cover his tracks.  An
    Li is waiting in the wings.

    So far a real quiet morning in here.
    
    Cheryl-->>  Thanks for the upcoming news.
    
    We knew that Jeze could [[not]] lose that baby.  That would
    really put a end to a great story for AMC. *^)  I hope that
    DORCA stops being so mean to Jeze or she will lose it for
    sure.
    
    I mean how cold can he be?!?!?!?!?!  All because NASTY NAT
    can't take alittle fun through the phone, pppllllleeeezzzzzz!!!!
    DORCA hadn't been that mean to Jeze since she pleaded with
    him to "MAKE LOVE TO ME NOW" and he treated her soooooo badly.
    
    I like the fact that the upcoming news said DORCA is (finally)
    forced to defend Jeze.  Ya for JJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    I could not believe NASTY NAT actually said yes to Dimitri 
    to marry him!!!!!!!!  I mean is she sick in the head or what?!?!?!
    How could she make such a [[BIG]] decision in such a short time.
    
    She one minute is morning over her lose for DORCA and the
    next minute is accepting a marriage proposal that is purely
    not for LOVE. *^)  That is NASTY NAT for you. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    
    

    
    Nat said she'd marry Dimitri? I must have missed something. 

    Yeh, at the end of the show, when she was sleeping with her head on his
    lap, she woke up and and said Yes.  He said Yes?  She said, Yes, I'll
    marry you.  I agree with the person who said they should have had her
    character live and be alone for a while.
    
    Cheryl

    The Nubian is really pi-owed now..Why in God's name would Nasty Nat say
    yes to Demitri?? This Eazy Sleazy just wants the male with the money
    honey!!!  And are we at all sure she was "sleeping" with her head in
    his lap...My mom always said "Every closed eye is not asleep."
    
    So much for the power of suggestion on Daytime TV...She deverves all
    the MISERY she is going to get!!!
    

    
    There are two great reports in the STARS file about James Kibberd.  Do 
    a NOTES> DIR to see exactly whick note number the STARS file is!
    
    Cheryl --> it will be interesting to watch Orca protect Jezebel Janet
    and her delicate condition --> from a very insulting Dimitri!  (^%  I
    still can't believe that Nasty Natalie said she will marry Dimitri!!!
    She didn't even let one day pass before she accepted Dimitri's
    proposal!  What a cold, calculating, selfish, tacky thing to do!!!! (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    
    Come on guys,and gals,wasn't it NN sole goal in life to come out to
    colorful Colorado,my neck of the woods, just to decide which goof ball
    to marry in the first place????  I guess she thought she had only two
    choices,either marry Dorca or Igor,not the choice of i don't want
    either
    one of you right now i need more time or something like that.  They
    have to make it hard for Dorca and NN to get back together,later on.
    
    doc
    

    Since the AMC reality police left last year, maybe I can add this
    reality violation that really glared at me (probably because I spend
    lots of time in airports).

    When Orca & Jeremy & $$$eara and Timmy were waiting for Natalie's
    plane, I couldn't believe it when the intercom blared "FLIGHT ### NOW
    ARRIVING FROM ASPEN AT GATE 1".  Yeah, right!!!  They have nonstop
    direct flights from Aspen, Colorado, to Pine Valley??? 

    Nobody on soaps ever seems to have to switch planes in a hub airport!!

    - Diane

    
    They also never have to work.

    
    Diane --> I heard that too, it was so far-fetched!  Direct flights
    from Aspen to Pine Valley --> sure!  I suppose they fly on a 747
    with a sleeper compartment!!!!!!!!!  You would be a great Reality
    Policewoman!  Are you gonna take the job??????????????????  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!
    
    

    Not to mention that the airport in Aspen is a tiny little airport for
    private planes only. Unless of course NN has a private plane that's
    worthy of its very announcement... NOT!!!!!!!
    
    To bad NN was here in the winter...she could've contracted Rocky
    Mountain Spotted Fever!!!!
    
    LaurieB

    Thanks for nomination!!  :-)  But no, I can't take the job because I
    don't watch AMC all the time.  I'll settle for "visiting reality deputy",
    or some such thing.

    - Diane

    Here is the update for 1/13.......
    
    Derick has the punky guy that got Terrance at gunpoint and is
    really scaring him to death.  He continues to point the trigger
    at him while Mimi screams don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Derick continued to tell the guy that what he did to his
    nephew was toooooo bad and he is a lowlife scum for doing
    this and he is not worthy to even be around his nephew let
    alone touch him!!!!!!!!
    
    Derick tells him that his racial violence stinks and he
    should get his brains blown off!!!!!!!!!!!!  The creepy
    punk is gasping for air and crying for him to stop it,
    but Derick continues his torture as he [[really]] wants
    to blow his head off!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Derick comes back to reality and lets him off by not 
    shooting him, but then ruffles hiim up a bit while putting
    on the hand cuffs and telling him he has the right to
    remain silent as he talks some more.  He has shaken this
    kid up.  
    
    It was a very emotional, but the BEST scene I have seen
    Derick do.
    
    NASTY NAT has selected Dimitri and wants to marry him
    and wants to know if the offers still stands.  PPPLLLLEEZZZZ
    Dimitri tells her he has been waiting along time for this
    moment for this day to come, he then says are you sure?!?!?!?
    
    NASTY NAT smiling says yes I am sure I feel soooooooooo
    comfortable and secure and it just feels sooooooooo right
    when I am with you.  Dimitri then says do you only love
    me because of the security.
    
    NASTY NAT then prances to the drawer where she pulls out
    her jewel box and says I have never been so sure!!!!!!!!!
    GAG ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    She says she loves him so much and it is not because he
    rescued her from the well.
    
    They begin to embrace in a lip lock kiss and Timmy opens
    his bedroom door while they are kissing.
    
    They let that go as they are all sitting at the breakfast
    table and Timmy is quiet when NASTY NAT says she has
    something she would like to tell him.  She says that her
    and Dimitri are going to get married, this was after she
    tells Timmy she loves him more than anyone.
    
    Timmy was not to happy as Dimitri excuses himself from 
    the table to make a call and Timmy wants to know what
    about DORCA.  NASTY NAT says she still loves DORCA, but
    she can't marry him.
    
    Timmy asks if it is the baby and she says yes, Timmy says
    it shouldn't matter as NASTY NAT asks if he likes Dimitri
    and he says yes, but I love DORCA.  Poor Timmy is upset.
    
    The gang is at the hospital and SAdam is there with Hay
    as Jack shows up to give his sympathy to Livia.  When
    SAdam sees Jack he wants to know where Erica is.
    
    Jack is upset and tells him he has not idea where his wife
    is and he wants no part of his sick marital games and 
    they both deserve what they get and walks away!!!!!!!!!
    SAdam is speechless.
    
    Livia is in with Terrance and there has been no change
    as she talks with Tom.  She then goes back in and is now
    talking to Terrance about how much she loves him and he
    is her life and she asked if he can hear her.
    
    He squeezes her hand and she is excited as she thinks 
    this is a sign that he is alive.  She then sees him move
    his eyes a bit and now has some hope.  She quickly tells
    everyone and everyone is happy.
    
    She specially thanks Tom for saving her son's life and
    it looks like she is warming up a bit to him.  Derick
    had come back from the police station and told Livia
    that he found the guy, but was upset crying.  Mimi was
    also with him.
    
    I felt real bad for Derick as Livia was trying to 
    comfort Derick.  
    
    Dimitri and NASTY NAT are blissfully talking as Dimitri
    says in honor of this occasion of starting a new life
    together you should go out and buy yourself a new
    trouseau.   SPARE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dimitri then says he is going to have the biggest BALL
    this town has ever saw and invite 1/2 of the town and
    NASTY NAT will be the CENTERPIECE (yes, Dimitri said that). *^)
    NASTY NAT is like a school girl and it getting so excited.
    
    She is soooooooooooo excited that she calls up Doodles 
    to come over to show her a dress she has just bought.
    Doodles says after she arrives that she has never seen 
    her this excited over a dress before.
    
    After being up on cloud nine NASTY NAT then tells Doodles
    what she is doing and does not get a very happy response.
    
    DORCA goes to see Jeze where the Dr.'s tell her that she
    almost lost the baby for not eating.  DORCA then goes
    into see Jeze and Jeze is a wreck.  She tells him not
    to be mad at her for this and she didn't mean for this
    to happen.
    
    DORCA then says he isn't blaming her it is just that
    he has had a rough day.  DORCA then says that she has
    got to eat and she knows that to keep healthy.  JEze
    then says the food made her sick.  After she apologizes
    over and over DORCA has to leave the room to get his
    composure back.
    
    Dr. Tolin is there when DORCA comes out and he says 
    she is loosing it in there.  Dr. Tolin says he has got
    to start to care about her or she will loose the baby.
    DORCA tries to explain to her that he can't care for
    her cause she will know it is a lie cause she knows
    he can't stand her.
    
    Dr. Tolin says he is going to have to try.  He then
    goes back in there and has a nother friendly talk with
    Jeze and says he does wants to see her get better and
    wants the baby to be healthy too.  DORCA leaves.
    
    Dimitri comes storming in the room and says that he
    is warning her to stay away from NASTY NAT and not
    to make anymore phone calls again, then he adds do
    you hear me?!?!?!?!?
    
    Jeze says why should I listen to you.  Dimitri says
    you better cause I am marrying NASTY NAT!!!!!!!!!
    DORCA is outside listening as he is stunned. 
    
    That was about it for today.

    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Thanks for the clue to look for the update
    on your trip to the Mall to see DORCA.  He sounds like a 
    GREAT guy, with sense enough to know a good character from
    a bad one.   He sure agrees with us on NASTY NAT, my kindof
    guy DORCA is. *^)
    
    It sounds like everyone had a GREAT time.  I hope you did
    get his autograph with your picture with him to keep with
    all of your exciting moments in 92'.  Sounds like it could be
    a great start to a album. *^)
    
    I wish DORCA would come to my Mall cause you better believe
    I would be there. *^)

    who is doodles?

    Donna

    Believe it or not, Pete, she calls HERSELF that!
    
    Bon

    
    I remember when her character was introduced. Whatever happened to
    Benny?

    /prc-->>  Benny moved back to Las Vegas when Doodles gave
    him the boot.  He offered her a life with him again and
    she chose Dr. Chuckles cause she caught Benny with
    a lottery ticket in his pocket.
    
    He is a heavy gambler and he said he kicked the habit.
    Why would a guy with a gambling problem want to stay
    in Las Vegas?!?!??!  Can't figure that one out.
    
    Maybe he likes to torture himself. *^)

    I would like to say a hearty thank-you to the author of today's juicy
    update!!! Doodles, Chuckles..Dorka..Sounds like a friggin' circus
    coming to town!!! Gag me...these nicknames are great!
    
    
    later, Nubian..
    
    Hey, Misty Moreland  are you around and in the closet today or what?!!
    

    I thought Benny lived/moved back to Rhode Island?!
    
    When he was back that time Doodles found the lottery ticket, it was to 
    break the news to Emmy'hunny'stell (Emily Ann or Evil Arachnid!) that
    he wasn't really her father. Her father was Billy Clyde Tuggle, and 
    Benny KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW she'd hit the roof on that one!
    
    Anyway, this should be in the history topic! :*) Not that I care, but
    if we're gonna keep talking about this we really should talk about it
    there.....
    
    Jan, just tell me to knock off playing MOD if ya wanna! ;*)
    
    Can't wait to see the shows today!
    
    Bonnie

    I guess this should be moved to the History file, but I
    really thought that Benny was in Vegas am I losing it
    or what?!?!?!?!
    
    Maybe with Benny's gambling hands I thought he belongs
    in Vegas. *^)  Someone please know for sure, cause now
    I really can't remember. *^)
    
    Guest1 (Nubian)-->>  You are welcome for the update,
    I try to put these in everyday that I am here.  All
    updates and comments are welcome though.*^)  The
    more the merrier. *^) Just remember to use form feed
    (control L)for any comments on same day shows. *^) 
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    
    Great update Tracey!  Here's a form feed and a question -->
    
    
    Did you say that Terrance is out of the coma?  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!
    

    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Comment on spoiler question
    
    Livia got all excited cause Terrance clutched her hand
    and flinched his eyes, no he is not out of a coma.  The
    Dr.'s never said he was going to be out yet.
    
    I believe this could be somewhat of a break through,
    but he is not awake, officially yet. *^)  She is
    just grasping for any hope right now.
    
    Wait until you grab a hold of NASTY NAT in her wedding
    excitement, she reminded me of a teenage girl that got
    her first kiss, I mean PPPLLLLLLLLEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
                                     

    It really surprised me when that officer gave Derrick the address
    of the two goons who beat up Terrance and then didn't go with him
    or send anyone to back him up.  He had to know what a state Derrick
    must've been in after finding out his nephew had been beaten up
    by a couple of guys out of hate for his color.  Derrick was too
    personally involved to make the arrest.  Seems to me any officer
    in his right mind would not have let him go or would have made
    sure there were several officers with him so that Derrick wouldn't
    have the opportunity to take matters into his own hands.  Thank
    goodness, at least Mimi had the sense to go.
    
    Jan

    
    Tracey --> another question about today behind a spoiler -->
    
    
    What did that yakkity, blabbering, zaftig, yammering yenta --> Doodles, 
    the one who wears white shoes, a white dress, a white belt, white
    plastic earings, a white purse and that orange coat, say to Nasty 
    Natalie when she found out that her best friend was going to marry 
    Prince Igor!!!!  Did she do the customary bosom clutch, while her 
    mouth was going full blast, as she made absolutely no sense about
    anything???????????????????????????????????????????????????????  (^%  
    
    We thought Timmy was being bad when he picked up the family Christmas 
    Tree and tossed it across the room!  Just wait -->
    
    This time, Timmy may decide to call in professional help!  Maybe little 
    Timmy will go to Hefty Helga for some [[HOT]] ideas from the bowels of
    the GOTHIC HORROR MANSION!!!!!!  (^%  I'd laugh if he put a clanky
    skeleton in Nasty Natalie's bed!  (^%  Ha ha ha ha ha!  Or he could get
    his Auntie Janet to make some tapes threatening Nasty Natalie!  Then he
    could stick a microphone into her pillow and playback the tapes, while
    "Mommie Dearest" sleeps!!!!!!!  Nasty Natalie would have one nasty 
    nightmare after another --> until she gives Dimitri the boot!  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    Well poeple, I couldn't believe my eyes yesterday! Derek was doing 
    a GREAT job on that racist pig, and he even made me cry! I didn't know
    he had it in him! I thought this was one great scene! Livia kept 
    making me cry too.
    
    Did you notice Janet kept stroking her hair and MOVING HER WIG?!
    
    I know that this baby is innocent & all, but I'm surprised Trevor
    really cares whether or not Janet has it. I really thought that when
    Dr Toland told him that if he didn't make things easier on Janet that
    she may loose the baby that he'd go in there & give her hell. That's
    an awful thing to say, I know, but this is JANET & TREVOR we're talking
    about. I wonder if he'll begin to feel sorry for her, and try to under-
    stand what she went thru being in Nat's shadow all of her life, only to
    end up falling in love with her!! Remember how much Palmer & Opal hated
    each other?!?!? .............HUH?!?!......... Well????????........
    
    I FF'd thru a Nat/Dimitri scene yesterday. It was the one wherre Dim 
    asks Nat if the resaon she's marrying him is because she needs shelter,
    etc. They didn't make any plans to get married did they? Like specifics
    I mean. Date? Place? Do tell.
    
    Well, enough yacking!
    
    Bon

    
    How did everyone like that dress Natalie got, IMHO I think it was
    pretty young for her.  The bottom looked like a slip.  She was
    positively glowing about her wedding and being the centerpiece at the
    ball and with that dress she may well be.
    
    When Nasty Nat told Doodles her and Dimitri (was it Dimwit Janet called
    him?) were getting married, she told her as her very best friend in the
    whole world she was making the biggest mistake of her life.
    
    Tracey, loved your update as usual - thanks!
    
    Dianne

    Just who does Dimitri think will come to this ball????  NOBODY is in
    favor of them getting married.
    
    Regarding Doodles----did she have anything on under that dress or was
    that her WHITE back peaking through --  GET A TAN!!!!!
    
    /red

    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Yes, the yammering, yenta, gonna give my
    opinion whether I'm asked or not Doodles did not like her
    best friend marrying Dimitri.  I am sure you did get to
    see the show by now to hear her clutching her heart in
    amazement at the news. *^)
    
    I thought it was kindof funny when Doodles did not show
    any happiness back to NASTY NAT when she was acting like
    a love sick school girl.  I mean ppppllllleeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
    how tacky can she be?!?!?!?!?!
    
    I really liked Derick like I mentioned yesturday also,
    he did a excellent job and it was sad to see hom intense
    he was while roughing up that racial idiot!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I was hoping Derick would have given just a couple pops
    while he was handcuffed, but Derick managed to keep his
    composure and let him off the hook. *^)
    
    DORCA will indeed be in to see Prince of Darkness today
    since he was not taking tooooooo kindly to Dimitri as
    he was annoucing his weddding to Jeze.  I mean come
    on Dimitri NASTY NAT can take care of herself, well
    maybe not, but GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!
    
    Dimitri will also be sending Hefty Neigggggghhhhhh Helga
    packing to Vienna and that will lead the way for the new
    maid to keep her eyes on NASTY NAT and Dimitri.
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Maybe then you could be onto something
    Timmy can get info. from this new housekeeper and really
    torture NASTY NAT, "mommie dearest" (I like that). *^)
    
    We do know that Timmy WILL NOT take to kind to this upcoming
    marriage for money,security and I-HAVE-TO-HAVE-A-MAN-NO-
    MATTER-IF-I-LOVE-HIM-OR-NOT-AS-LONG-AS-HE-HAS-MONEY-AND-
    DOES-NOT-HAVE-A-SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Bon-->>  No, they did give any details yet on the wedding.
    We don't know when yet, so you did not miss anything as
    you fast forwarded.
    
    NASTY NAT will have all of her good friends that came to
    her shower at this ball.  You know NASTY NAT's good friend
    Brooke will be the first to show. *^)  You know Brooke will
    not miss a good party, this will give her a chance to put
    on her GREEN DRESS, spare me again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    Yeah, /red....easy for YOU to say! ;*)
    
    I too thought that the dress Nat was wearing was that "lingerie
    suitable for wearing under a ball gown" that Dimirti told her to go
    shopping for!! I couldn't believe it when she told Donna it was her
    outfit! Donna looked horrified. I didn't expect that I thought she'd
    like it! I guess it was more of Opal's style, huh!?
    
    I feel bad for the Tim-man, tho! Nat told him that she & Dimwit were
    getting married, and when Timbo wasn't totally overjoyed w/ the news,
    Nat asked him, "You like Dimitri Don't you, Timmy?" Timmy sez, "Yeah,
    but I *LOVE* Trevor." And he walked out to go to school. Nat felt bad
    for the Tim-man too.
    
    more later.....
    
    Bonnie

    Some IMOs...
    
    I thought Donna did a good job. If you felt your best friend was making
    the biggest mistake of her life it would be really hard to fake
    happiness just so you wouldn't burst her bubble. I wonder if she'll
    agree to stand up for her at the wedding?? That dress was for the ball
    right? Not the wedding??
    
    Did anyone else catch Igor telling Natalie that he promised that Timmy
    and Trevor would have plenty of time together...AND SHE THANKED HIM!!!!
    Like that's any of his business!!!! Has Natalie wimped out to the point 
    where she's going to turn her son over to the Prince?? 
    Maybe we should start calling her Wimpalie!!!

    
    /red, thank you for pointing out that GAPING HOLE in the back of
    Doodles' dress.  She wore a bright blue scoop necked jersey dress
    that looked pretty plain in the front (except for the HIDEOUS bright
    red belt with the big plastic doo dad in the front that folded over
    because she fastened it too tight over her dimpled bulging love 
    handles.....)  In the back, the dress was fastened at the nape of the
    neck by a small button.  Below the button, an elliptical opening
    exposed either SKIN or some kind of transparent gauze that extended
    almost to her BEEFY WAIST, where the tacky red belt rolled over her
    matronly bulges.  WHAT was this gnarly bimbo thinking when she
    put this on???  What the FP wants to know, was....was this dress
    DESIGNED that way, or did the yakkity yammering yenta yabbaho FORGET
    to do up the buttons????  The FP is horrified to ASSUME that the dress
    was designed that way, because there was a good long camera shot of the
    back of the dress.  Through this flibberdigibbet in the fashion SLAMMER
    for a FORTNIGHT!!!!  Once a cheap, sleazy, tacky hooker, ALWAYS a 
    cheap, sleazy, tacky hooker!  
    
    Natalie breakfasted in the same Crayola shaded outfit that she donned 
    BEFORE boarding the plane in Aspen.  BLEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH!!! 
    Hope she took a trip to the dry cleaners after she changed!!!!  This 
    selfish icy doll showed her true colors by deciding to accept Dimi's GIANT 
    and frankly, GARISH hunky diamond, shunning poor Porkchop's microscopic 
    token of undying devotion.  That's what all the dames in this town want: 
    GIANT ROCK diamonds.  The FP cannot remember a wedding in Pine Valley which
    didn't need someone to support the hand of a bride weighed down by
    a monster sparkeler in close to double digit carats.  The only
    acception are those weddings that take place in ELK GROVE, which
    are ALWAYS DOOMED.  And why are they doomed????  Why, because the
    DIAMONDS weren't BIG ENOUGH.....  Natalie changed into a 3 piece
    monochomatic ensemble in off white which included full pants, a blouse,
    and and unconstructed cardigan tunic like garmet which was obviously 
    designed to camoflauge UNSIGHTLY LUMPS AND BULGES.  She topped off these
    breezy duds with a cantaloupe colored wool coat which clashed with her
    bright pink lipstick.  But who cares now that she has her MONSTER
    DIAMOND!!!!  The FP will hold judgement on the black and white party
    dress until she sees it ON.....  The FP also had to hold back a GAG
    when DIMI referred to Natalie as the "jeweled centerpiece" of the ball.
    What a drag.  That means she'll have to sit still in the middle of the
    table all night!!!!!!  Put an apple in her mouth like a stuck pig.....
    
    Speaking of STUCK PIGS, who brought back the late '50's Doris Day
    dippy housewife style (or lack therof????)   Why DUMB DIXIE of course.
    Same initials, DD.....  That hairdo was too conservative for June
    Cleaver.  She wore a little pale yellow short sleeved sweater (oh
    noooo..) that accentuated her perky and supple upward pointed breasts
    (must've brought back the BULLET BRA too....), a pair of off white
    stirrup pants with dorky fleshy nylons and high heels underneath, and
    a light brick colored quilted jacket.  Quick, grab a trash bag and
    throw it over her head!!!!....but not before you gag her.  The FP
    might have to start PACKING HEAT around Dixie of Stupidbrook Farm!
    
    Note to that Livia Person:  now that your son is going to be alright,
    please discard the GREEN SUIT immediately!!!!!  This piece of clothing
    is on the most notorious list right under Porkchop's RED PANTS!!!
    
    And PUHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEEE get
    Janet a better fitting wig.  She must have sent away for that one in
    the back of a comic book!!!  It was on sideways!
    
    Finally, did you all catch Mr. Puffmeister de Bouffant with his baby
    pink shirt, pink silk tie, and PERFECTLY FOLDED PINK silk handkerchief.
    A little too precious if you ask the FP. 
    PUHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    ******Now for a reality note.....................*****************
    
    Did anyone notice how Steven and Whoria seem to be the only working
    doctor and nurse in all of PVH????  They work pediatrics, they
    work the ER, they work the medical floor, and now they work the ICU
    too.  I've never seen a hospital like this before!!!!!
    
    PREDICTION:  Joe Martin is REALLY Steven's father!!!!!!!!
    
    bye for now!
    FP

    
    The FP is HORRIFIED at HERSELF.
    
    Please note on line 31 of her Official Monday Report (.6441), the
    work "thorough" should read "throw", and on line 43, "acception"
    should read "exception."  A million apologies to all those
    literate people out there!!!!!
    
    signed
    the GRAMMAR POLICE!

    I would've loved to read the FP's reaction to Donna's dress if she had
    a bra (a large white one with a hook missing!!) showing through the hole 
    in her dress!!!!!!

    /fp-->>  Thanks for the report, I absolutely LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I lost it over DUMB DUMB DIXIE's June Cleaver hair do. *^) *^)
    You are toooooooooooo much!!!!!!! *^) 
    
    I really had to explain the girl next to me what I was reading
    now that is bad.  Thanks for the laugh today, I needed it. *^)
    
    Just to let you know fp, I would not have even mentioned the
    "couple typos", but it is good to keep us literate people
    on our toes. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    
    

    Yes, Tracey your updates thrill me to no end.  They are really helpful. 
    The VCR is still on the blink.
    
    Hey Nubian, Misty was not in the closet but chained to her desk and
    terminal.
    
    I can't believe NN is really going to marry Dimitri.  I know she loves
    both men, but can she really forget about Dorca and what they had
    together so fast.  It really chokes me when women get over loved ones
    so fast and into anothers bed.  She should have taken a few months to
    get over her feelings and then start over.  She deserves what evers
    coming.  I hope Tim rebels and gets the goods on Dimitri and leave his
    mom in a stupor.
    
    I know Terr is in a coma, but are they getting ready to come to an end
    with his story line?  I hope not.
    
    What is going on with Swill?  When is he going to expose Creepy and
    make his sister kiss his feet for thinking he is swine.
    
    Gotta go now, look forward to todays update.
    
    Also, can someone tell me how AMC faired on the Awards show Friday.

    FP --> Great report.  It also reminded me of my confusion watching
    yesterday's show.....Nat and Dimwit spent the night talking and stuff
    right, cause when Timman cam out of his room that was breakfast they
    were eating and he left for school, right????  Then that means that
    Trevor spent the night up at the prison and the gang stayed through the
    night at the hospital, RIGHT????  Then how come when Dimwit went into
    Janet's room/cell, dressed in some fresh clothes (FINALLY) did he say
    he did not want Janet calling Nat like she did earlier that
    MORINING?????
    
    /red

    
    /red --> I had the same thought!  Dimitri must have screwed up his
    lines!  If Orca did spend the night at the prison, so did that bigtime
    QUACK --> Dr. Toland!  When Dimitri showed up in Lady Madonna's room,
    Orca came in --> to eavesdrop!  So with all these people staying up all
    night --> how come no one has any swollen, bloodshot eyes!!!!!!  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    Didn't Dr. Joe have an affair at one time.  I am sure this is in the
    history file, but my mind is blank right now.
    
    Could he be the product of this affair?  If he is I wonder if he knows
    who his father is?  Maybe his mother or someone close to him is away in
    a hospital somewhere ---> and he hates his father for not being there
    and blames him for the situation.  Wouldn't that make for a good story
    line.  I could see good ole Ruthie now.
    
    Lisa

    Yep, he had an affair with Lenore Saunders.  Good thinking FP and Lisa.
    
    Great minds!!
    
    Cheryl

    
    Cheryl --> wasn't Lenore Saunders blonde?  So is Steve!  Why else
    would Steve walk away from Joe in such a bitter mood?  All Joe did
    was to compliment him on his great work with Terrance!  Something
    is up --> and Ruth Martin must be licking her chops as she prepares
    to but into yet another young person's personal life!!!!!!!!! (^%
    
    Who else thinks that An Li sounds exactly like that mousy Katie
    Kennicott did!!!!!  (^%  
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    LMORELAND:  It's good to know someone was flogged & chained to their
    desk with work yesterday. You know who wasn't!! Gag me.. Lunch with
    Tracy this week will certainly keep me on my toes!

    DC-
    
    You claim that Doodles will eat anything....even HEAD CHEESE?????????
    The FP would like to see that scene.
    
    Right on about Natalie's lack of a scrunched up face in a puddle of
    saliva.  She must have some Vulcan blood -- that's why Trekkie Trevor
    was attracted to her!
    
    The FP forgot about Dim's change of clothes.  He wore an IMPECCABLY
    TAILORED navy blue blazer, a white oxford cloth shirt, pleated medium
    brown pants, but MESSED UP the whole picture with a bright blue
    turtleneck stuck under the shirt.....or worse yet, perish the horrible
    thought......a DICKEY!!!!!!
    
    Wearing DICKEYs forces the FP to inflict the DEATH PENALTY. 
    
    FP

    
    I've heard of fashion police but this is ridiculous.

    Here is the update for 1/14.......
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE is tryiing to comfort the very obviously
    TENSE Dr. DoGood who is not in to good of a mood as she
    approaches him with her obvious unwanted help.
    
    She asks him what is wrong and he tells her he is tired
    as DUMB DUMB DIXIE starts in on him how she knows that
    he should be alittle upset over Terrance, but you did
    save his life.  Dr. DoGood then tells her that that is
    HIS JOB and knows this is what he is there for.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE keeps on pushing for more info. as
    he can take no more and excuses himself.  Hotlips
    shows up and DUMB DUMB DIXIE asks her if she knows
    anything about he and his family.
    
    Hotlips says she really doesn't just that he has 
    a brother or sister and DUMB DUMB DIXIE feels she
    maybe onto something. (maybe she is, can we believe
    that?!?!? ) She then continues to talk to her about
    how Creepy isn't her favorite person and DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE realizes that, but just give him time.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE then goes to Jovial Joe and wants
    to know if he knows what is troubling him.  Jovial
    Joe wants to know why all the questions about his
    family.
    
    Jovial Joe then speaks up and says I have heard of
    him mention a Dr. Hamill.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE is soooooo
    excited as he agrees to find out about this Dr. for
    her, but he does remind her that this is unethnical
    but will do it.
    
    Dimitri is in the middle of his conversation with
    Jeze as he has stunned Jeze who can't believe that
    he is going to marry NASTY NAT.  She starts to get
    alittle upset by apologizing to Dimitri as DORCA
    flies in!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DORCA tells him to leave her alone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeze
    is still alittle upset as she apologizes again and
    says that they will continue there conversation out
    in the hallway!!!!!!!!!
    
    DORCA says to Dimitri what does he think he is doing
    scaring Jeze to death?!?!?!?!  He then tells Dimitri
    that she is sick and if you mess with her you mess
    with the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dimitri then says he didn't think, as DORCA says ya
    he doesn't think as Dimitri tells him that he really
    had no idea that she was sick and he will not do
    anything to upset her.
    
    NASTY NAT and Doodles are having a very intense 
    conversation about her getting engaged to Dimitri
    as NASTY NAT blurts out I haven't seen you in a
    week and that is all you can say to me?!?!?!?!?!?
    
    Doodles then says you can't marry Dimitri cause you
    are still in love with DORCA.  Then she asks if
    anyone knows about this.  NASTY NAT happily says
    I am wearing his RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
    
    NASTY NAT then says she can't marry DORCA cause of
    the baby I could not care for that baby.  Why would
    a rich woman like you latch on to Dimitri for security.
    
    NASTY NAT then shrieks (while clutching her bosoms)
    probably because while I was in the well the rest
    of my friends and family got along without me!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Doodles then realizes NASTY NAT is upset and apologizes
    and says she understands her feeling that way, but
    she can't marry a man because she thinks she can't
    care for a baby, that is also DORCA's and that she
    could love for that reason.
    
    Then NASTY NAT tells Doodles she is in love with Dimitri
    (obviously trying to convince herself) because he is a
    kind, trusting, romantic and unselfish.  Doodles could
    not resist as she says if he was so unselfish he would
    not have asked for you to marry him like this.
    
    They are interupted by Hefty Helga calls NASTY NAT and
    wants to know if Dimitri is there.  NASTY NAT tells
    Broom Neiggggggghhhhhh Helga that he is not there, but
    she will be seeing him.  Broom Helga being kindof sly
    says that is okay cause it is you that I want to talk
    to.
    
    She goes onto say that she has kept quiet long enough
    if you marry Dimitri as I have told him also you will
    be sorry.  I must talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  NASTY NAT is
    catching her breath as Dimitri is glaring on at
    Hefty Helga as he grabs the phone.
    
    He tells NASTY NAT he will take care of Hefty Helga and
    don't worry about her. Watch out Helga. *^)
    
    Dimitri then lashes out at poor loyal Hefty Neighhhhhh
    Helga by asking her if SHE LOST HER FACILTIES?!?!?!?!?!
    I'm still laughing at that one!!!!)  Why do you continue
    to defy me after I told you about butting into my business?!?!?
    
    Broom Helga very upset about his behavior tells him she
    only does this for his happiness.  He said you are trying
    to destroy the only happiness I have had in 15 years!!!!!!!
    She then gets alittle wimpery and he softens up a bit
    when she says you must tell her about Angelique.
    
    Dimitri then says I have told her the whole story about
    Angelique and HEfty Neighhhhhhhh Helga says you have
    and Dimitri says NASTY NAT still loves me.  She does
    not know what to say as Dimitri tells her she should 
    go back to Vienna where she likes to be with her 
    friends and stay for awhile.
    
    Hefty Helga agrees, but it talking to the new keeper
    at WILDWIND about what she is expecting her to do 
    while she is away.  She has instructed her to keep
    an eye on NASTY NAT and Dimitri and she will phone
    in a couple times a week to check in.
    
    Dimitri has rushed over to NASTY NAT's to try to
    unclutch her hands after her ordeal with Hefty Broom
    Helga and she can't understand why she doesn't like
    her.  
    
    Dimitri says it is not NASTY NAT, but it is anyone.
    NASTY NAT can't understand after 15 years of Angelique
    not being around why she would still feel this way
    for him being around woman.  Dimitri then tells her
    that that is Angelique's mother.
    
    NASTY NAT is alittle relieved of why she is behaving
    this way.  That was the end.
    
    Meanwhile poor DORCA is left with Jeze as Jeze makes
    him tell her that he does care for her and tells him
    she is sorry, but she is feeling alittle insecure.
    
    DORCA is trying to hold his composure as Jeze tells
    him that he should think back when she tried to warn
    him that she would break his heart and he has.  She
    then says she and "Amanda" would never.
    
    DORCA is trying not to say anything as she tells him
    to bite the bullet and say goodbye to her and say
    hello to me and Amanda. *^)  DORCA remarks that he
    is trying to and she happily says I knew you would
    as she sings (please spare us thiss) "One Fine Day....."
    
    DORCA can't take it no more and he has to excuse
    himself.  Jeze wants to know when he will be back
    as he says, soon.  He even has to cross his heart
    as she makes him say goodbye to Amanda.  Poor DORCA.
    
    He then tells Dr. Tolin that he can't stand it she
    has him backed in a corner and says things that he
    could gag on.  Dr Tolin says it is for the good 
    of the baby.
    
    Livia and Tom are having a heated talk and finally
    they come to a understanding after she admits her
    feelings were wrong to not like him.  Tom is happy
    as she tells him that she is BOSSY, STUBBORN, 
    OPINIONATED and LIKES A GOOD ARGUEMENT and it
    could get ugly.
    
    Tom tells her it could not get worse as they hug.
    Dr. DoGood breaks it up and says he has good news
    that Terrance is being brought to a private room 
    and he is asking for his mother.
    
    What great news and a very busy day in PV today. *^)

    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Answer to spoiler question.....
    
    Yes, NASTY NAT had the conversation with Hefty Broom Helga
    in front of Doodles.
    
    The sad thing was is NASTY NAT in a fit of anger told
    Doodles that she does not have to defend Dimitri her
    "fiance" to her and to leave cause she wasn't going
    shopping with her after she had come allllllll the way
    over to go with her. *^)
    
    Doodles was like so shaken up that all she could say
    to her way she will talk to her later and she is
    sorry if she upset her. *^)  I mean pppplllleeeezzzzz!!!!
    
    Stick a sock in that yammering, yenta, loud mouth
    Donna and send her with DUMB DUMB DIXIE, the Brooklyn

    Awesome update.  Wish I could have been in PV today.  I guess it will
    be dumb Dix who will fish around and find the info on Dr. Steve, then
    she will rattle her brains to figure out how to tell halo /\ Ruthie and
    Dr. Joe.
    
    Dixie really needt to be paying attention to Whoria who is sleeping on
    her back with Creepo.
    
    Lisa

     Wasn't there a prediction some time ago about Dixie and Steve getting
    together??  Perhaps she will become his sympathetic sounding board and
    he will feel obligated to tell her about Craig and Gloria. Someone has
    to tell her since she's TOOOOOO DUMB to figure it out on her own!!!
    
    LaurieB 

    
    LaurieB --> Dumb Dixie will wind up being friends with Steve, like
    fer totally sure!  Only, if Steve isn't Joe Martin's son, then he is

    I had one more story to today's show how could I forget this
    one..............
    
    Creepy is busy working on he and DUMB DUMB DIXIE's finances
    and realizes after that check he handed over to Hotlips
    that they are in the red (that mean minus for DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE) and he is worried about money.
    
    Then he proceeds to think back to the last stunt that
    Hotlips pulled being in the guest bedroom and he gave
    her a check.  He then quickly picks up the phone and
    makes a call.
    
    HE HAS NOW PUT HIS CAR IN THE PV CLASSIFIED SECTION,
    as he is talking to them placing this Ad Palmer is
    listening and asks if there is money problems.
    
    Creepy is stunned as he admits that he needs to get
    rid of his expensive car as Palmer being the old
    trustworthy sole offers Creepy a check and at first
    Creepy plays that he doesn't want it, but then
    accepts.
    
    Creepy then tells Palmer he wants to be the bread
    winner in the family and doesn't want DUMB DUMB DIXIE
    to find out about this.  PPPPLLLLLEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    he has nothing to fear about DUMB DUMB DIXIE cause she
    doesn't know how much money she makes, let alone what
    he makes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Now Creepy has a check and now he is going to be up
    to no good.*^)
    
    Tracey
    

    Maybe Steve is really Bobby(?)Martin and he's PO'd at Joe because Joe
    forgot all about him when went to the attic to wax his skis!!!!!!

    LaurieB:
    
    What a kick!  Steve/Bobby!  Wouldn't that beat all?  The writers would
    get my vote is they could pull it off.
    
    Gotta run.....busy busy busy.  I usually only have time to "read", but
    thought LaurieB's synopsis was GREAT!
    
    Hope I can note soon....................
    
    
    Jackie
    

    LaurieB:  That's a great thought!!!!!!
    
    Also good prediction by the FP and Lisa.  Now who do you all think
    Steve was talking to/about when he was on the phone in the Martin
    kitchen a few weeks back (Dixie was listening in then, too)
    
    /red

    Yeah, Steve was saying things like, "Just let me talk to him NOW! For
    crying out loud, It's Christmas Eve!" And he *SLAMED* down the phone,
    "DAMN!" Just then Dix came in, Steve was freaked, and he left the
    Martins home. Hmmmm....
    
    On yesterday's show, Ms. Grammar wizzard Dixie tells Steven, "There
    *IS* about 3 things this could be." DUH!?
    
    I thought Trev was so funny when he was telling Dimitri to get lost,
    that he was upsetting Janet. He told Dimitri to, "Disappear yourself."
    
    I couldn't believe that Nat was actually feeling sorry for herself
    yesterday. She started sounding just like JANET!! Donna was telling her
    that she needed to get over her pain in order to get back to Trevor.
    Nat said that she couldn't because while she was rotting in the well,
    her friends & family were carrying on & having a great time & didn't
    even miss her! She did seem to consider what Donna was saying though.
    
    Tom & Livia's scenes were pretty true to life, I thought. I think I 
    actually like these two together. Seperately...FORGET IT! Livia's a 
    b*tch, and Tom's a dweeb, but together, they compliment each other.
    
    BUT....Livia did say that Dereck was always bugging Livia to find a 
    Daddy for Terrance.....That's your cue, Tom! ;*)
    
    Bonnie

    
    Poor Nat, she feels so sorry for herself. "Nobody cares about me!"
    
    Get a life!!

    I gotta say I DID get a look at Doodles dress last night
    I mean a good look and I wish they could have saved me
    from the sight.  That was the worst ensemble of a dress
    that I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I wish I never got to see it because I won't forget
    what she looked like in it.  It was a definite sight
    to anyone's eyes.  Would someone plllleeezzzzzzzzzz
    sew that slit in the back and detach the belt from
    her handles. *^)
    
    Not only does DUMB DUMB DIXIE need to drop the hair
    cut that does nothing for her, but someone tell her
    to put a sock in it with her motherly charm with
    Steve, HE DOESN'T NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    I loved the scenes with Jeze and DORCA with her talking
    about getting rid of NASTY NAT and being with her and
    Amanda, it was great!!!!!!!!  Although I gotta say
    that I wasn't at all impressed with her solo. *^)  
    
    I did however feel a bit sorry for DORCA who held back
    all he could from loosing it.  He is not in the best
    situation right now.
    
    That new housekeeper Sabrina does not look like she will
    have much spunk on this show.  She reminds me of the old
    An Li, GET A NEW ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't even need to
    give her a chance I can already tell. *^)
    
    Dimitri must be running scared as he told Hefty Neigggggggghhhhh
    Helga that he has told NASTY NAT the whole truth.  What a
    liar he didn't and I want to know the rest of his deep deep
    secret.  How gullable can NASTY NAT be is all I want to know
    she believes anything that Prince Igor says to her!!!!!!!!
    
    I hope if Angelique is alive she will make her way back
    with Hefty Neiggggggggggghhhhhhhh Broom Helga.  What a
    great surprise that would be to NASTY NAT. *^)

    The other day I was at a convenience store and on the counter they had
    All My Children cards.(Like Baseball cards). You get 12 cards in a
    package, with 12 different pictures of the characters and on the back
    of the card history about them and the show. Also each package comes
    with one extra card from One Life To Live w/ history.
    
    Of Course I had to buy a package. Its kind of neat!
    
    
    What will be next.........
    Lynne                     

    I don't know if any of you thought something unrealistic
    but, when the bossy, stubborn, opinionated and likes
    a good arguement Livia said she had Terrance at 15 wouldn't
    that only make her about 31 or 32?!?!?!?!?
    
    I sure hope at 31 or 32 I don't look at old as she does
    cause that is not old, but she sure isn't aging toooooo
    gracefully. *^)  I would at least pass her off for 40's
    give or take.  PPPLLLLEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Livia use
    some night creme. *^)
    
    I had to say it cause I couldn't believe it. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    Z

    I thought Terrance was about 18, so that would make Livia around 33 if
    she had him at 15. Did she really say she had him at 15?  I am way
    behind on my tapes.  Wow!  That is really young to have a baby.  No
    wonder she hates his father.  I have new respect for her if she had a
    baby at 15 and still managed to go to school and become an attorney.

    Well Creepy's in trouble now!!  He told Palmer that he needed the
    money for investment purposes.  Palmer asked Creepy to show him
    the financial statement when he made the investment.  So how
    is Creepy going to get around that one if he gives the money to
    Gloria?  Also, what happened to the $200,000 that Creepy had in
    his bank account when Will put the $20,000 in Creepy's account?
    He couldn't have paid Gloria $200,000 in blackmail money already,
    could he?  Even if he bought himself and Gloria new expensive
    cars, he could hardly have spent that much.  That milkmaid Dixie
    sure seems to like men that need mothering.  Both Creepy and Steve
    seem to be emotional basket cases to me but the milkmaid just 
    l o v e s it!  She can hardly wait to jump in and save these guys.
    
    So is Erica off making another movie or just on a ski vacation with
    her family?  When do you think she will show up?
    
    I thought Nat was showing some Janet personality flaws and gestures
    when she was talking to Doodles.  That wig that Janet is wearing is
    a gas...it keeps spinning around on her head!!
    
    And I thought the worst mistake Nat ever made was when she married
    Adam.  Isn't that what Doodles said then?  Now she is saying that
    the worst mistake is marrying Dimitri...Well, I agree with Doodles
    on this one.  Why is Nat rushing to marriage with a man she has
    known such a short time?  Why not wait.  In fact, she should wait
    until Janet has the baby and then see how she feels about everything.
    I certainly gave Doodles credit for not mentioning that she raised
    Emily Ann, the daughter of the person she hates most in the world,
    Billy-Clyde Tuggle!!!

    Here is the update for 1/15.....
    
    Well DUMB DUMB DIXIE is talking to Jovial Joe how he is not
    going to find out anything on Dr. DoGood as DUMB DUMB DIXIE
    is disappointed and Dr. DoGood overhears this.
    
    He is not happy as Jovial Dr. Joe has to tell Dr. DoGood
    that he was trying to get some goods on him regarding
    finding out who is father is, Dr. Hamill.  Dr. Jovial Joe
    not taking the credit for the info he is suppose to get
    does blame DUMB DUMB DIXIE. *^)
    
    Dr. DoGood says to DUMB DUMB DIXIE I thought I made it
    clear to you not to but into my life and now you went
    digging in my past!!!!!!!!!
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE's upper lip is really starting to quiver
    as she could hardly get the words out "I'm SORRY" when
    Dr. Jovial Joe says she did it out of concern.  That
    did not help as Dr. DoGood says he doesn't need any
    concern!!!!!!!!!
    
    He then says they can call off the search cause he does
    have a Dr. Hamill, but he no longer practices cause he
    is in a MENTAL INSTITUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Both DUMB DUMB DIXIE and Dr. Joe's mouth's drop open.
    
    They both don't know what to say as the Dr.'s beeper 
    goes off and Joe says he will talk to him later.  
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE is left with him and feels real bad
    for him as she says they need to talk about it.
    
    He tells her no cause when you tell someone this noone
    seems to know what to say.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE won't
    give up and keeps prying to give him support as he
    storms out.
    
    Creepy is at the hospital and sees Livia giving her
    a pair of earrings for helping save Terrance's life.
    Creepy comes up to her and is not to happy about it
    and Hotlips wants to know why he has to ruin a good
    moment.
    
    That was it he blew it he told her that he wonders
    if Livia would be giving her those earring if she
    knew she was a blackmailing slut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Hotlips is speechless as she doesn't like it.
    
    Creepy says that she is not worthy to be DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE's friend cause she really isn't her friend.
    Then he goes onto praise DUMB DIXIE by saying how
    thoughtful, caring and loving of a person she is
    and how much she cares for others.
    
    He then tells Hotlips that DUMB DIXIE cries all
    the time for people and in all the years he has 
    known her she has never shed a tear.  Hotlips
    is stunned as he walks away.  
    
    Creepy finds DUMB DIXIE when Dr. DoGood is leaving
    in a abrupt hurry and wants to know what is happening
    with her and Dr. Kill Jo.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE does not
    know what to say, but says he has the right to be
    mad at her.
    
    She is practically in tears a she says that she was
    once again butting into someone's life when she should
    not have been.  Creepy tries to comfort her and end
    up in a conversation with Hotlips, which doesn't
    turn into a good one.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE goes on a shopping spree with hotlips
    as she wants to get a sweater to go with her new earrings.
    Her and DUMB DIXIE get to talking and DUMB DIXIE admits
    how much she appreciates her friendship and enjoys the
    time they spend.
    
    Hotlips feels alittle bad as she asked her if she had
    some words with Creepy cause of her.  DUMB DIXIE then says
    she doesn't care what Creepy thinks cause she will alway
    like her.  DUMB DIXIE then says they will be wardrobes
    for life and Hotlips says until sweaters and shirts part.
    
    DUMB DIXIE then says she has to leave as Hotlips is
    about to make some big purchases on clothes and is thinking
    back to all the kind words that DUMB DIXIE has said to
    her about there friendship and runs out of Myrtle's
    without buying a thing.
    
    Hotlips pays a visit to Creepy and says she has to tell
    him that she can't take it she is leaving town.  Creepy
    is stunned and says he doesn't know if he can believe
    a blackmailing slut like her.
    
    She is not happy with his comments and asked is that is
    all he can say to her.  She then says if she is going
    to leave she is going to leave being the highest paid
    blackmailer.  That is how it ends.
    
    Meanwhile DUMB DUMB DIXIE pays Dr. DoGood a visit and comes
    over to tell him that she doesn't like to leave things
    the way they were and she is very sorry.  They begin
    to talk.  That was the end.
    
    Bry and Hay are in a conversation about Terrance and
    Bry gets alittle choked up over Terrance.  He tells Hay
    how much he loves her and enjoys her company.  He begins
    to get alittle carried away (as NASTY NAT would put it
    his hormones are running rapid. *^)) as Hay tells him
    it doesn't feel right.
    
    They get into alittle argruement cause Hay does not
    think it is right and Bry does not understand why.
    He leaves.  Hay goes to the hospital to see Terrance,
    but can't get past Livia where they have a heart to heart
    talk.  PPLLLLEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    
    Dr. DoGood and Bry also have alittle talk as Bry is down
    in the dumps about Hay and he gets the idea that he will
    ask her to marry him.  He doesn't want her to think that
    all he wants is fun from her.
    
    He goes to see Hay and is about to ask her to marry him 
    and it ends before the answer.  Poor Bry. That was also
    the end.
    
    They did however have alittle fill-in with An Li talking
    to her mother about Terrance and her mother not really
    caring.  Then An Li talks to her about how she cares for
    Bry and her mother gets upset over her interest in Bry.
    
    An Li finally stands up to her mother and says she hopes
    she isn't like her mother if she has a daughter someday
    cause she doesn't like her mother telling her what she
    should do.  An Li made it perfectly clear that she has
    no interest in Cha Chi.  Her mother is upset.
    
    Opal comes to the rescue while she overhears this and
    tries to talk to Al Li's mother.
    
    That was about it for today.

    miss "y'all!"
    
    I just caught up on all the notes ---> I'm surprised:  You guys 
    haven't been that "busy"... meaning the number of notes was pretty
    low.  All the better!!  Now I'm "up to par."
    
    Tracey ---> Did ya' get the pictures yet?  Lisa-Marie got hers and 
    is already planning her "attack."  :-)  She told me so!!! :-)  :-)
    
    FP ---> You are priceless!!!  Those Official FP Reports are truly
    a beautiful thing.  I can hardly wait to get home and see Donna's

    the pictures, not yet.  I can't wait to get them. *^)
    
    Thanks for commenting on Livia's age, cause I thought
    it was just me thinking she looked older to be playing
    the part of 30's (lower 30's yet. *^))

    --dc/VALMONT-->>  On spoiler for today.....
    
    Bry was talking to Hay about a ring and how he has something
    he has to ask her and he is about to ask her as it ends.
    
    They were not hugging yet, so I don't know if she does say
    yes. *^)
    
    Can you believe that Dr. DoGood's father is in a mental
    institution?!?!?!?!?  Was that maybe why he was soooooo
    mad then on Christmas Eve, cause he wanted to talk to
    him?!?!?!?! I wonder what happened to him?!?!?!?
    
    Looks like Dr. Joe does not have another son, unless 
    this is all a cover-up!!!!!!!  I sure wish DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE would take her "I'M SORRY" for you and stick to
    her own MESSED UP LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tracey,
    
    When Hayley and Bryan were talking about the ring, he asked for the
    ring back and she says why?  He said because you are supposed to wear
    an engagement ring on your finger and since he couldn't afford a
    diamond he wanted her to wear the class ring...maybe Erica will let her
    wear one of hers since she sure has enough of them (just kidding..) 
    
    dianne

    Do you think that maybe Steven had to perform an operation on his father
    and something happened during the operation and that Steven has never
    forgiven himself for it????
    
    /red

    /red
    
    That could be.  Good thought.  What I was thinking is maybe his father 
    lost a patient and went bonkers over it and Steven is scared he may take 
    after his father.
    
    Marie

    
    /red, Marie, Tracey, et al:
    
    Maybe Dr. DoGood's father is in the nut hatch playing shuffleboard
    with Emily Ann is because he found out that JOE MARTIN is his beloved
    son's REAL FATHER and that the PROBABLY DEAD woman that he loved
    for all those years CHEATED ON HIM.  After all, Joe did say that he
    knew a Dr. Hamill.....  Just a theory.
    
    Due to time limits, the FP did not view all of yesterday's episode,
    but saw enough to file this brief report:
    
    DC you still amaze me with your eye for detail.  Craig wore a well
    tailored gray double breasted suit with a European cut, that did
    indeed have riffy besom pockets.  He wore a white shirt and a dark
    paisley silk tie that was quite understated and elegant.  He also had
    a dark loden green wool (maybe cashmere) overcoat that was quite nice
    BUT the FP HATES EVERY FIBER OF HIS WEASELESQUE BEING, so all the
    clothes were tainted by the touch of his surprisingly pale and fleshy
    torso.  
    
    Dufus dimbulb dumb dodo doodoo dreadful dopey dorky daffy Dixie
    wore the same stupid Doris Day housewife outfit that she's had on for
    the last few shows, but did top it off with a classic camel hair coat
    that was actually nice, if rather conservative.  Must have been
    hanging in NINA's closet.  Also, did anyone catch the completely
    cheap and ugly bright pink eyeshadow she was wearing. 
    PUHHHLLLEEAAASSSEEEE!  Ethel and Irma would know better.  That cretin
    Doodles should've known better than to stock it knowing her cosmetics
    box organizer Dixie would decide that it was attractive.  Whoria
    must have had one monster automatic GAG REFLEX when Dixie suggested
    that they share clothes.  Oh sure, the FP supposes that the Dimbulb
    from Stupidbrook Farm wanted to borrow the microscopic black bustier
    with the big push up bra and fishnet stockings so that she could
    cheer up the patients.  They'd all end up in the MENTAL WARD!!!
    PUUHHHHHHHHLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEE!!!!  PLUS, Dixie wouldn't
    be able to fit that bustier around her THIGH!!!!!
    
    That Livia person changed into an electric fuschia dress with a
    double breasted brass buttoned front.  That and the notorious
    brrrriiiiiiggggggghhhhhttttt green suit in themselves probably
    jarred poor Terence out of his coma!!!!!
    
    Shoot that Brian, or should the FP call him CRYIN'????????  Oh
    PUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE...spare
    the FP the teenage horniness plot lines...SHUT UP!!!!!  Not only
    did this riffy youth wear his usual dark plaid button down shirt
    with the sleeves ripped out under a light green tshirt, but
    this time, he ripped the COLLAR out of the shirt as well.  FP
    to CRYIN': next time, LOOK IN THE MIRROR fer Chrissake!!!!!!!!
    
    Hayley looked more normal in a stonewashed blue denim shirt, black
    jeans, and a belt with shiny studs on it.  She did wear those big
    black janitor style oxfords with fat rubber soles that are kind
    of popular with teenagers.  Objectively though, they are UGLY.  FP
    to Hayley: LOSE THE SHOES!!!  Also, let's lower the ponytail a bit,
    and while you're at it, CENTER IT!!!!!  Her jacket was short in
    some kind of shiny SATEEN (as opposed to SATIN) (as opposed to
    SATAN!!!) with a zebra print in bright jewel tones and fuschia. 
    Yesterday was fuschia day in PV just for DC....
    
    Opal wore a black and gold suit with a black yoke with big
    red and orange flame like designs reaching for the shoulders and
    lots of clunky matte gold necklaces over a gold blouse.  She had
    some froufrou hairdo also.  The FP must admit that she's bored by
    Opal, and can tolerate her only as a supporting character now that she's
    a goody two shoes.
    
    An Li wore faded jeans, a white shirt, and a pale yellow vest with a
    light cabbage rose design.  She actually looked pretty attractive and
    was appropriately dressed.  For once she didn't look like a second
    grader in a Catholic school uniform.  Somebody should slip a Mickey
    into Mom's teacup though.  She needs to RELAX......................
    
    Too bad Dr. DoGood didn't plant a good hard SLAP that made a movie
    sound effact C-R-A-C-K right across that meddling busybody Dixie's
    creamy cheek.  Then her cheek would have matched her HIDEOUS
    EYESHADOW.
    
    PUHHHHHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
    
    FP
    

    
    I was getting my car fixed yesterday so I got a chance to watch the
    latter part of the show. Dixie's hair is disgusting!!!

    fp-->>  Your theory could hold true considering Jovial Joe
    [[does]] admit to knowing a Dr. Hamill. *^)  I can't wait
    to find out what the REAL truth is behind Dr. DoGood's past. *^)
    
    I sure do wish that someone would plllleeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
    stuff a sock inside DUMB DUMB bible totin's busy body LET-
    ME-HELP-YOU-I'M-YOUR-BEST-FRIEND DIXIEBIRD's quivering
    upper lip mouth. *^)  I can't take much more of her over-
    motherly advice. *^)
    
    You would think she would get the hint to leave someone
    alone when they practically spell it out for her.  Then,
    again DUMB DUMB DIXIE can't read so she couldn't possibly
    figure out what someone was saying to her. *^)
    
    Dr. DoGood sure is going through some problems.  He
    is worse than a woman with PMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I would be careful if I was DUMB DUMB DIXIE cause she
    may end up with her feelings hurt which could hopefully
    send her over the BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    An Li's mother is defintely not a mother of the 90's
    I mean get to the U.S. woman and break free of your
    customs. *^)  An Li is trying to get a real life and she
    is getting a tough break. *^)
    
    We can only hope that babyface Bry will get the jolt
    from Hay and he can save An Li and they can both live
    happily ever after.  I would only imagine that An Li
    would let Bry control her life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    Wot?! No update! I'm having serious withdrawls!!

    Here is the update for 1/16........
    
    Jackie-->>  It was a okay one, better than yesturday. *^)
    
    Dr. DoGood is listening to DUMB DUMB DIXIE spill her heart
    out apologizing for sticking her nose in where it didn't
    belong and after she finishes she excuses herself to leave,
    but he doesn't want her to leave.
    
    Dr. DoGood admits that he needs a friend like her to talk
    to about his troubles.  He then goes onto tell her that 
    it has been along time since someone has been able to 
    break down the wall.  He then says he has spent alot of
    years trying to forget about his father.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE doesn't know if she wants him to keep
    talking as she is consoling him. *^)  He tells her that
    his father was a well respected Dr. in there Community
    and everyone knew him cause it was such a small town.
    
    To gain control over everyone he began giving SEDATIVES
    and UPPERS, so they would be addicts.  He would do this
    to ALL of his patients.  What did it in was when Dr. DoGood
    realized that his father had given a cancer patient who
    had a chance to live all those drugs and they eventually
    died.
    
    Dr. DoGood said he really looked up to his father and 
    respected him, but couldn't continue to let his father
    do this anymore, so he turned him in.  By the time he
    turned him in his father was tooooooooooo far gone he
    (I guess) had taken some drugs also and didn't even
    recognize his mother or himself.
    
    Dr. DoGood said it is very hard for him to deal with
    and hasn't gotten over it yet.  Well DUMB DUMB DIXIE
    being the Dr. Make-It-Better-Cause-I'm-Your-Friend-
    told him that she had a hard time dealing with Tad
    and she has now come to reality about it and was 
    able to get on with her life.
    
    Dr. DoGood thanks her to for being his friend and 
    they hug each other.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE also expresses
    to him how much she cares for him as a person. (Oh
    no is it love on the horizon!!!!)
    
    Hotlips has Creepy backed in a corner as she is
    requesting for more money.  Creepy tells her that he
    has given her that he can.  Hotlips doesn't by his
    answer and tells him he has the Midas Touch and she
    has much faith in him.
    
    Creepy exclaims once again that he is tapped out and
    he can't!!!!!!  Hotlips then says that he better cause
    she will go to her best friend DUMB DUMB DIXIE and spill
    the goods.
    
    Creepy is upset as she mentions this and says you could
    not do that to her.  She says yes I could as he figures
    out what she will show her the X-rated tape!!!!!!!!!!
    Hotlips says yes I woudl I would sit down with her with
    a bucket of popcorn and let her watch it.  
    
    Creepy was quite upset now as he was calling her a evil
    witch as she was threatening him to get the money and
    Palmer walks in and wants to know what she is doing here.
    
    Hotlips says she is there to show him something since she
    came to see DUMB DUMB DIXIE, but she isn't there.  Palmer
    says he will tell her that she was there.  Hotlips says
    I'll show you anyways as they all 3 sit down and Creepy
    is now nervous.
    
    Hotlips puts the tape in the machine and Creepy exclaims
    before you see this let me tell you something........ the
    tape is playing it is all a bunch of cartoons. *^)  SHe
    and Palmer are laughing at it and Creepy is not looking
    toooooo good as he was alittle shaken.
    
    Holtips tells Palmer as he is leaving the room that they
    all need a few laughs.  Palmer leaves the room and Creepy
    and her are left alone as she said that was a warning that
    ge better get the money.
    
    Creepy is upset as she is about to close the door as she
    tells him that his DIXIE BIRD is over with Steve and it
    looks like it is a bandaid growing friendship. *^)  Creepy
    looks worried.
    
    Creepy rushes over to find DUMB DUMB DIXIE with Steve
    while they were hugging over his story he had just told
    her.  Creepy walks in and says maybe he should have knocked!!!!!
    
    Dr. DoGood is giving him the evil stair while DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE says don't be silly. (PPPLLLEEEZZZZZZZZZ) She then
    wants to know what he is doing there as he says he was
    hoping to spend some time with her.  She and Dr. DoGood
    say goodbye and say they will talk again and she leaves
    with Creepy.
    
    They get home and Creepy is giving her the you spent all
    day out with Hotlips then you go racing to Steve, where's
    my time?!?!?!?!!?!  DUMB DUMB DIXIE getting a bit firm
    says that Steve and Gloria need me.  Creepy says they are
    consuming you.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE starts to get in her soft tone voice 
    that they don't take anything away they are a gift for
    life.  Creepy then getting a bit insecure says I don't
    want to be selfish, but everytime I see you with someone
    I feel I lost you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE is overwelmed with happiness as she
    tells him that you will never loose me its impossible.
    Creepy finding this the appropriate time to ask his 
    baby machine of a wife if she wants to have a family.
    
    She tells him yes I want a family you know that.  He
    then says so do I, I mean now.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE has
    one of her BLANK-LOOKS-OF-I-AM-NOT-SURE-WHAT-YOU-
    MEAN-SO-SPELL-IT-OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    That's the end.
    
    Bry is telling Hay that he doesn't have a diamond, 
    but he wants her to marry him.  Hay is soooooooooooo
    shocked that she says this is not a joke Bry, this
    is the real thing.  
    
    Bry tells her he knows and wants to spend the rest
    of his life with her.  Hay looks shocked as she gives
    him a few lines of this is a forever thing and is
    a big step.  All of a sudden they see SAdam standing
    there after he overhears what is going on.
    
    Bry is upset and tells Sadam to buzz off as he is
    always around listening to what they are talking 
    about.  Hay gets him to leave the room.
    
    Bry wants an answer and she tells him that she does
    need some time, he agrees to give her time, but wants
    an answer soon.
    
    Hay goes and talks to SAdam as SAdam is not tooooooooo
    understanding about the whole thing.  He is trying to
    tell her that they are to young and don't know what
    they want.  Hay is very upset and tells him to but
    out of her life and he is not her dad.  She also is
    making it clear that she does not listen to him as she
    leaves the room calling him SAdam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    She storms to the hospital where DORCA is there and has
    a talk with him to tell him the news.  He is as shocked
    as SADam and tells her so.  She is not happy that his
    reaction is the same as SAdam's was.
    
    He tries to tell her not to jump into anything without
    thinking.  She tells him that she is thinking and did
    not give him a answer and she knows that already.  Then
    she tells him who is he to talk all his life he has
    plunged right in the water.  DORCA comes back with at
    least I've made sure there was water in the pond first. *^)
    
    Hay leaves by telling him it is still in the thinking
    stage. *^)
    
    SAdam in the meantime is livid as he goes to tell Swill
    that he has done nothing to help now they are on there
    way to the altar!!!!!!!!!!!  Swill says he is not through
    yet as he leaves to go to Hay.
    
    DORCA then arrives to talk to SAdam and is not happy with
    him as SAdam admits what he said to Hay.  DORCA then tells
    him just when he had alittle influence on her you let this
    happen.  They both talk about there bad feelings about
    this.
    
    Bry was having a conversation with An Li as she suspects
    something is wrong with Bry.  He admits that he has asked
    Hay to marry him and she looks hurt, but has to act like
    she is trying to help him.  Bry tells her she has not
    given him a answer.
    
    An Li then talks of her discomfort of her mothers decision
    for her to marry Cha Chi.  Bry is telling her that she
    doesn't have to marry him.  He tries to help her.
    
    Hay comes over to Bry's and he rushes to the door as
    Hay comes in and Bry wants to know if she has a answer
    for him.  That is how it ends.
    
    DORCA, Derick and Mimi meet the woman who is going
    to help them with Terrance's case.  She is a attorney
    who is on the ball.  At first they don't care for her
    but after awhile they warm up to her witt she has.
    
    She is trying to get them ready for the battle they
    are going to have due to the way that Derick made the
    arrest to the punk that did it.  She made it clear
    that they do have a case, but that there maybe a
    few problems because of the way he arrested the
    kid in a unprofessional manner.  Livia also was in with
    Terrance talking as he is on his way to recovery.  Terrance
    then hass the chance to meet the attorney too.
    
    They all do agree to give her the chance to defend
    Terrance.
    
    That was about it for today.

Tracy ---> Sorry if I lead you astray on the color of my hair.  The closet
	i've ever become to be a blonde was when I was a lifeguard and 
	between the sun and chlorine, it used to bleach out until it was
	a dirty blonde color.

	BTW, I had 4 inches (split ends) hacked off my hair about 3 or 4
	weeks before those pictures were taken.  My hair used to be at my
	waist but it did need the cut.

    That will probably happen, poor Mimi and Derick.  She will have
    to tell the TRUTH on what happened to.  Derick did not use the
    best police etiquette, but he did what he needed to do!!!!!!
    
    Wait until you grab a hold of this female defense attorney.
    A big switch from the bossy, stubborn, opinionated and needs
    a good fight Livia. *^)
    
    This new attorney has some witt about her that even got
    DORCA.  I'll wait to hear what your verdict is when you see
    her in color on your big screen tv. *^)

    Ok, I have a question....Didn't Livia have a blue dress on yesterday?
    
    The reason I am asking is that someone said she had a fuschia colored
    dress.....am I confused as to what color fuschia is?  Or don't I
    remember what Livia had on yesterday.  What color is Fuschia?
    
    Tracey - I can't wait for the pictures!  call me when you send them so
    I know they are coming!  OK?
    
    Jackie

    
    Jackie --> funny you should ask about FUSCHIA!  (^% Like Livia was 
    totally covered in FUSCHIA yesterday, even her lips were bright 
    FUSCHIA.  Like the best way to describe FUSCHIA --> is to think of 
    HOT PINK gone BERSERK with lots of RASPBERRY thrown in!  Mix it all 
    up and you have FUSCHIA!!!!!
    
    BTW, like you should be advised that FUSCHIA --> DOES NOT OCCUR 
    NATURALLY, ANYWHERE IN NATURE --> unless it's a mondo bizarro -->

         Well here it is Friday & I get to post the first note of
    the day.... I almost never get to watch AMC cause it's the
    middle of the night for me soooooo, I always look forward to
    Traceys updates... My VCR $#!+ the bed about a month ago & I 
    just brought it to the shop today sooooooo, maybe I'll have 
    it back by the time I go to Daytona for Bike Week & I can tape
    the show while I'm gone......
        I watch Loving & OLTL when I'm up but I never read the notes
    for those 2 shows cause I don't have time to read everything &
    AMC is my favorite show soooooooo, I just read this one.... 
        Tracey, do you do updates for Loving?????? If so maybe I'll
    start reading that note also.... I like that show but I don't 
    know all the characters like I know AMC...... 
        Well here's my note for friday DC/Valmont=Phantom.... Hope all
    the other readonly noters get out of the closet today so I can
    read about them on sunday night when I'm in here by my self....
    
    
                              See Ya
    
    
                      ***** Deadhead Lefty *****
    
    
    

    Hi everyone!!!!!!
    
    I took dc/Valmont -- the Phantom's challenge and came out of that dark
    and lonely closet on this bad weather day for Dallas.  They say we are
    going to have sleeting rain here today....now won't that drive home be
    fun?????
    
    Just thought I'd pass along some comments on some of these outrageous,
    narly babes.  I think this Donna Beck person needs to go back to the
    Chuck 101 course again.  When he first "found" her, she was a sleezy,
    street_walking, dazzling_blond_wanna_be hooker.  She had NO class. 
    Remember how Chuckles took her and changed her into a "Pretty Woman"? 
    Looks like she has forgotten what she once knew...now the only thing
    she can do is meddle and whine.  
    
    Just have to say I love the scenes with that G-string loving, G-babe. 
    She is THE MOST when she makes the Butterbean Queens weenie squirm.  When
    Craig tells Ms. don't_hate_me_because_I_am_ho*ny to STOP, I think she
    must revert back to her acronym days at DEC.  She still thinks that
    STOP means "spin tires on pavement" and proceeds to make tracks all over
    Wimp_head's scrawny body.  I would just LOVE to see the Whoria do the
    wild thing with Demitri.  Or maybe he prefers on older, brunette
    love_muffins (like on Dynasty) to get him hot and bothered.
    
    FP->  Soooooooo glad you are back...  I knew that you had rubbed off
    on me when I noticed this tall, dark, and amorous jock jogging
    yesterday.  But this babe needed to have read our notes file.  While
    wearing his hunters green with hot_pink Addidas spandex pants with
    nylon top zipped down to his belly_button, he forgot to wear the
    Cover_me_in_case_I-get_excited shorts over the spandex.  He almost
    had Miada tracks all over his body because the girl beside me was
    obviously interested.  Guess she thought he was pointing to her.
    
    Lastly, I think it was Tracey who did that WONDERFUL summary of Nasty
    Nat vs Erica lovers/haters note.  She really summed me up so add me to
    the list of I LOVE ERICA lovers.  I just love this "Don't you know who
    I think I am" doll. Even though she lies, cheats, and schemes, you have
    to admit....nobody does it better!!!  She IS the J.R. Ewing of daytime
    TV.
    
    Thanks so much for all of the wonderful updates.  I teach classes
    during the day, take classes at night, and try to watch Days of our
    Lives and Another World when I finally get home.  The GOOD news is that 
    we got our other TV hooked up to the VCR and now I can tape AMC too!!!!  
    But in case I run out of hours in day, I know I can depend on a terrific
    update to read at lunch.  To Tracey, DC, FP, and all of the other updaters 
    that I can't remember your names right now, your the greatest!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Sorry I got carried away......(Are you SURE you want us out of the
    closet??????)
    
    Dee
    
    Deadhead Lefty....Hope you enjoy Daytona Speed Week, I went in 1978
    (when I was OF COURSE a baby) and had a blast!!!!!
                 

    
    I'm working from home today. Lunch break is at 1:00pm. 8-)

Dc --->  Sorry, but fuchsia is a naturally occuring color (on plants anyway).
	My mom use to have a fuchsia plant with vivid purplish red leaves,
	and vivid purplish red describes the color perfectly.

	BTW, I think we should all where fuchsia to the dinner on Feb 4th.
	(In case anyone is interested in meeting DC on the East Coast, 
	 read note 11 for more information about the dinner.)

    
    Sorry, I'll be in full black leather! Hope nobody minds...8-)

    Sayers-->>  Welcome out of the DARK closet glad that you
    did come out.  Thanks for your nice comments and glad that
    you do get to read the updates. *^)  We can add you to the
    lost of ERICA LOVERS, that is one more great thing. *^)
    
    Hope that you can be in this file more often and not just
    a closet only reader.  Keep notin'. *^)
    
    Deadhead Lefty-->>  Welcome out of the closet on this
    GREAT FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  Glad that you did get a
    chance to read the updates also. *^)  Yes, I do once in
    awhile do updates in Loving.  I do watch it and don't 
    want to take over the great job that Lou does most of
    the time on updating in Loving.
    
    When you get a chance be sure to stop in this AMC file.
    Hope you get your VCR hooked up. *^)

    	Hi everyone...
    
    	Since it's Friday and all, I decided to note over here...
    
    	I have to put my 2 cents in about Dixie's hair...it looks
    	disgusting...it didn't look bad the first time she got it
    	cut, but now...forget it!  She should just shave her head
    	it would probably look better than it does now!
    
    	For those of you who want to see Travis the weenie, tape
    	Loving for 1 day...he's on there now, so we have to look
    	at that big honker once again! 
    
    	Well...TGIF, hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
    
    	Alexis

    /prc:  I don't mind.  Everyone should come as they are.  The FP isn't
    that hard on us during our dinners!!!
    
    I actually felt a twinge of feeling bad for Whoria in Wednesday's show. 
    (I haven't watched Thurs. yet)  She was starting to come around when
    Diesal Breath began to harass her.  I truly believe she does have a
    heart.  Unfortunately, I think her past sins will come back to haunt
    her.  She's kind of a Sybil Thorne type of person and will probably end
    up in that big Whore House in the sky at some point!!!
    
    Dixie needs to grow that hair out a bit.  She looks so much older with
    that cut.
    
    Wow, one whole week without Erica.  I'm in heaven!!!
    
    Cheryl

    I rewatched my tape from wednesday and Livia was NOT in blue as I
    thought, it WAS fuschia.
    
    dc---Fuschia does occur in nature, I had a hanging basket this year
    called fuschia and it was a BEAUTIFUL fuschia color.
    
    Cheryl:  I KNOW!  No Erica!  What a blessing....of course I did miss
    her TIGHT face and wrinkled looking neck!  tee hee
    
    Jackie

    You know I was just thinking last night that I knew something
    was missing from AMC and it is ERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    It seems like there is not quite as much excitement when
    she is not around, please come back. *^)
    
    Can't wait for her to come back. *^)  Sorry guys the ones
    who don't like her, but she is the GREATEST!!!!!!!! *^)
    This is of course IMHO. *^)
    
    Did anyone like the new defense attorney?!?!?!??!?  
    
    Glad that Terrance is on his way back to feeling all
    better.  Hope they get those guys for what they did. *^)
    
    Jackie-->>  You got it, I will call you before I send
    them to you.  I will be sending you the pictures through
    regular mail, not interoffice. *^)  I keep looking at
    them cause they are really fun to look at. *^)  
    
    Lisa-Marie-->>  Be sure you guys take pictures and please
    send them to me when you do, okay?!?!??!?!?!  I am soooooooo
    disappointed that I can't be at this dinner ither.  Gee
    I miss all the fun. *^)  Oh well I will stop pouting now. *^)

Tracey ---> I was thinking the same thing.  We need Erica back!

	BTW, if you wanted to send your picture to someone here on
	the East coast, we'll give you an honorary spot at the dinner!

    Watching Wednesday tape last night something hit me.  I don't like
    Dixie's hair but that's not what bothers me the most...it's her
    nostrils, they flare out like Larkin's (EX-Travis).  And where does she
    shop????  I hated the little outfit she wore on Wed.  (the little
    jacket with the zipper).
    
    /red

    I have a question for the FP, or for DC, or for any other fashion-
    intelligent person who can help out this fashion-ignorant noter...

    WHAT'S a BESOM pocket???  Sounds like it's a major sin, so I want
    to make sure I know what it is!

    Thanks!
    - Diane

    Diane, I was wondering the same thing!! I looked up BESOM in the
    dictionary and it said it was a bundle of twigs attached to a handle and
    used as a broom. That would make an ugly pocket...!
    
    I'm glad Terrance is going to be ok, but doesn't it seem a bit odd that
    someone who suffered a depressed skull fracture at the base of his
    skull doesn't even have a bandaid in the area?? 
    
    LaurieB

    This is my obligatory note for today, DC said that everyone who
    reads 14.6486 must post a note today. Well, I'm only on note #6486
    and so far there are about 70 more notes in this string alone. W/ all
    of the closet noters coming out, I probably won't catch up today.
    
    Just wanted to thank DC for the appointment of GRAMMAR POLICE! I'll
    keep my ears open for any more of these hideous flub-ups! Dixie is
    such a nim-rod! I can't wait to see what Will is gonna do. Maybe he'll
    hook up w/ Whoria & blackmail her w/ the info that she's blackmailing
    Craig, for secrets & inside infor at CE.
    
    If sommeone already mentioned this, please forgive me for stealing the
    idea. Like I sed, not caught up yet! ;*)
    
    Se ya!
    
    Bonnie
    
    

    Lisa-Marie-->>  I may just send my picture off, I'll have to
    select JUST the right one then. *^)  Will you send me pictures
    you guys take, at least I'll feel like I was there?!??!?!?! *^)
    
    LBradford-->>  When Terrance was on I was wondering the same
    thing why he didn't have any bandages, but I guess they want
    us to make it seem like all internal injuries, don't know
    though. *^)  Glad he is okay though.
    
    Well Happy Friday everyone and let's all you read only's
    post that note today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    Well...I'm not exactly a "closet" person....I've "exposed" myself
    twice in this file....But I can't ignore that fact that DC has
    commanded that we note today...So here I am...
    
    I will add my opinion about Erica..so everyone know what "camp"
    I'm in.....I think I would characterize myself as a Ericia lover..
    Granted "in real life"..she wouldn't get away with what she does...but
    who cares about that !!!!
    
    Well I have a staff meeting to go to (bummer!!)
    
    TA for now

    Dianne --> besom pockets are those pockets that don't have a flap!
    They look like a seam has been sewn into the material, right above
    the slit for the actual pocket.  I think the FP can explain this 
    much better than I --> but whenever a salesperson whips out a jacket
    with besom pockets, it goes back onto the rack faster than you can
    drink a Shirley Temple on the rocks!  (^%"  The person who designed 
    besom pockets should be forced to wear all of their clothing with 
    their besoms showing prominently!!!  So everyone can snicker and point

    Here's my note for today, and thought for the day.  What if they bring
    Julie back for the good Dr.  That would really give "hootin annie"
    Dixie to poke her nose into.  Seems like she is not happy unless she is
    helping someone solve their problems.

    After seeing it today, all I have to say is- GO WILL, GO!

    
    	O.K... I will post a note also. I try to read in hear everyday,
    with those busy day exceptions, but everybody in here catches all of
    the noteworthy tidbits so I usually don't have much to say.
    	I too am an Erica fan, not because I love her antics but more the
    fact that she usually gets away with it.
    	Now for the comment that will most likely create some responce...
    I STILL like Kate Collins. I will admit that the writers are tuning
    Natalie into a jerk, but underneath, she is still O.K. in my book. So,
    DC after you finish kissing her feet send her to me.  ;^)

This could become a Friday tradition--DC's SILENT NOTER DAY!!  I have a  
confession--until I started reading this file, I had seen the show probably
a total of five time.  Now, I watch it every time I am home and I read the
updates faithfully.  See how powerful you all are!  By the way, you can up the 
number of DC attendants at the dinner to three.  I can't resist a chance to
meet all of you....

-jer

    So /prc, now that you have peaked my curiosity, what happened with
    Will??
    
    I bet I know:
    
    He caught Creepy Craig at the computer embezzling funds from Cortlandt
    Electronics.
    
    Cheryl

I'll come out of the AMC closet for "Closet-Noters Day" and post a quick note.  

I met Lisa-Marie Dugal today and, of course, Valmont II.  I wanted to 
see the pictures she has from the dinner so I found her office and 
introduced myself.  I'm so glad I got to see the pictures!  Now I can 
put some faces to the names I see all the time.  Thanks Lisa!  

It was great meeting her, she's so nice and friendly!  She says she
can't wait for the dinner on the 4th to see everyone and to meet DC
........ she has something planned!  I'm hoping to try to make it, but 
I'm not sure yet.

I haven't been able to watch my tapes this week so I can't comment on 
what's been happening.  Of course I do know what's going on thanks to 
Tracey's updates!  I can't wait for todays!  I'm sure she's typing it 
right now!

Have a great weekend everyone.

    Welcome back Ron!  I knew you were out there!  You may be the last
    person in America who still likes Nasty Natalie --> but, you can
    NEVER LET US SEE YOU SWEAT, when she shows up at Dimitri's Ball in
    that black costume that resembles something like a Spanish Flamenco 
    Dancer would wear!!!!!!  (^%  Somehow I'm sure Nasty Natalie will 
    slap a large faux red rose in between her teeth when the music
    starts to play a fandango! (^% (^% (^%  Gag us all!  Are you coming
    to the dinner Ron?  (^%

    Exactly! You win the $64.00!

    I like Erica,Dixie,Mimi,Trevor and Derrick the best of all.  Can't
    stand Adam,Will,and Bryan.  All of you Dixie bashers are going sing
    to sing "I wish I was in Dixie" before Creepy Craig/Whoria thing is
    over with!!!!! Let the babe do one thing wrong,or maybe two or
    three,and you're on her case for life!!!  She's the salt of the earth.
    And we need salt to preserve us all!!

    o.k. i can't stand it anymore, i'll put in a note.  i do note in
    loving and one life to live but mostly stay silent in here and gh
    because there is just so many notes posted... i dowanu clutter the
    file....  afterall; we do have updates to read.
    
    so a few notes back i read something about, "go will go" (after seeing
    todays show) but i see no update?  :-)
    
    i too would like julie to return, and nico and cecily.  remember the 
    short hair that julie had the last time she was on and she was going
    after jack?  i think they should bring her back to go for will or jack
    better yet!  but anyways.. for your long hair lovers i did prefer
    julie's hair short, i thought it looked very becoming on her but... 
    not mine!  although it does nothing just hang straight (most of the 
    time), i still can't cut it ... right steph!

    Here is the update for 1/17........
    
    All havoc is breaking loose as Hay and Bry are discussing his
    impatientness for an answer for his wedding proposal.  Just as
    they are doing so SAdam bursts in with DORCA and is yelling
    for them to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DORCA tells him to keep his skivies on pops. *^)  After SAdam
    goes through his charades of telling her how much he doesn't
    want her to get married Bry gets upset and yells that he
    is tired of him butting in!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Just then Hay says call the minister we are getting married!!!!!
    The whole room goes up as SAdam gets yelled at by Bry as he
    tells SAdam that they don't need him approval since they are
    under 18 they will go where it is legal!!!!!
    
    SAdams tries to plead with her if she wont' listen to him she
    should call Arlene to talk some sense into her before making
    such a big mistake.  SAdam tries telling her how much she has
    to loose by getting married as good old Myrtle jumps in to
    give her feelings of not wanting them to get married so soon.
    
    The whole room ends up in an uproar at the same time until
    they finally get it quiet and try to talk this out.  They
    end up splitting up as DORCA tries to talk to Hay and then
    Bry and Hay come back in the same room and she has a answer
    for him.
    
    Hay tells Bry that she has decided not to marry him.  Bry
    is very upset emotionally as he tells her that why everytime
    she makes a decision she gets it from SAdam and he looses
    out.  
    
    Hay tries telling him that it is her decision and she does
    not feel right about getting married right now.  Bry ends
    up leaving very upset.  It doesn't look good for them.
    
    NASTY NAT and Dimitri are about to have a celebration as
    he tells Sabrina as the phone is ringing to take a message
    cause he doesn't want to be disturbed.  Sabrina comes back
    seconds later and says it is a attorney calling from N.Y.
    and he says it is important and "it hit a big hitch".
    
    Dimitri says he will take the call as he comes right back
    after a brief moment of being on the phone as NASTY NAT
    wants to know what that was about.  He tells her it was
    business and it is nothing.
    
    He tells her they must continue where they left off as 
    he pulls out his finest bottle of champagne and they toast
    to there upcoming marriage.  GAG ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    He detects a bit of unhappiness in his bride-to-be's face
    and asks her what is wrong.  She tells him that she is
    upset that her friends could not be there to celebrate.
    
    Dimitri tells her not to worry as DORCA's friends will
    come around.  He also happily tells her that he preparing
    for 1/2 the town to be there for his ball he is throwing.
    
    He tells her he is redoing the place for this and she is
    just soooooooooo excited about it as he is preparing for
    there special upcoming wedding. 
    
    During Dimitri's happy spirited moment he offers NASTY NAT
    to move back in and he would give her HER OWN ROOM BACK. *^)
    She is quiet as she doesn't know what to say.  That is how
    it ends.
    
    Hotlips is talking to Creepy as she is asking if he has the
    money or not.  Creepy is trying not to let DUMB DUMB DIXIE
    know what he is saying and she is listening in and jumps
    in while he is talking and says no not tonight!!!!!!!!
    Creepy gets rid of her by saying he will meet her tonight.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE asks Creepy if that was anything serious.
    He says no just some business I have to take care of and
    he quickly changes the subject and asks her if she wants
    a boy or girl. 
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE is stumped as she doesn't know what to
    say and tells him that she does want a family with him,
    but not right now. She tells him she wants to wait
    cause they haven't been married long and she doesn't
    want him wanting a family for the wrong reasons.
    
    She tells him that she feels he may only want a baby
    cause he needs to be reassured for her love for him. He
    denies that is the case and tells her he wants to have
    a baby with her because he really loves her and knows
    how good she is with Jr. 
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE won't back down as she tells him maybe
    someday but Jr. and her job at the hospital (plllleeeezzzz)
    takes up most of her time.  He then jumps in and says
    I would help with Jr.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE getting a bit
    tougher on the issue says he barely has time for her
    and Jr. right now cause he is always soooooooooooooo
    busy so that couldn't be possible.
    
    Creepy is a bit hurt by this and quickly puts in his
    coat and says he has to go.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE does not
    like him rushing off like this, but he says he has
    to go.
    
    Swill in the meantime had heard Hotlips say to Creepy
    that she is getting impatient and she needs it soon and
    he heard her say his name.  After she hung with Creepy
    SWill wanted to know if she is having a problem with
    good old Creepy?!?!?!
    
    Hotlips says no it is not a problem he is a nice guy.
    SWill does not believe her as Opal comes in and tells
    Hotlips that Ruthie needs to see her as the schedule
    as been posted.
    
    When Hotlips leaves Opal tells Swill to leave her alone
    as Swill gets even more suspicious of the whole thing
    when Opal tells him that DUMB DUMB DIXIE is Hotlips
    good friend.  Opal tells him to keep his nose out of
    other's people's business.
    
    Swill comes in through the back way after Creepy has
    left DUMB DUMB DIXIE and tells her he has waited for
    him to leave.  He tells her that Creepy is up to know
    good with Hotlips.   DUMB DUMB DIXIE takes offense 
    to this and is starting to get upset at Swill by
    saying he is trying to hurt.
    
    Creepy comes running back in when he hears Swill telling
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE that there is definetely something
    going on with Creepy and Hotlips.  Creepy grabs Swill
    and says he is gonna kill him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE is getting upset as she screams at
    Creepy not to hit him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Creepy holds himself
    back and tells him to stop making her life a living
    nightmare!!!!!!!! 
    
    After Creepy lets go of him and DUMB DUMB DIXIE is mad
    at Swill for causing this arguement Swill tells DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE that this is proof and why doesn't she believe him.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE shuns her brother as she tells him to
    get out and he is not her brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Swill
    is tossed out as Creepy hugs her and says he is sorry.
    He tells he he had come back to tell her he was sorry
    for leaving like he did and he still loves her and
    will wait for children.
    
    He leaves and runs to Hotlips where he yells at her
    for opening her mouth to Swill.  She tells him that
    she didn't say a word.  He doesn't believe her, but
    hands her the check as she asks for it.
    
    After he hands the check over Hotlips remarks that he
    must have to keep pretty good books not to get caught
    with giving her a check for $25,0000.  He looks at
    her and says how disgusting she is and he knows that
    she is out to ruin him, so he will loose everything.
    
    Hotlips is smiling as he tells her I use to think that
    I was a sleeze, but next to you I'm a saint!!!!!!!!!!!
    He walks away.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE in the meantime is having a heart to
    heart talk with Opal about her small problem her and
    Creepy were having over children.  Opal tries to tell
    her that he is doing this cause he knows how much
    you wanted kids and is trying to fill Tad's shoes.
    
    Well DUMB DUMB DIXIE feels bad and is listening to
    Opal and her reasons.  She feels better now. *^)
    PPPLLLEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    
    As Dimitri and NASTY NAT were having there precelebration
    toast Sabrina gets a call from Hefty Broom Neigggggggghhhhhh
    Helga wanting to know what is happening with Dimitri and
    NASTY NAT.
    
    Sabrina tells her everything is fine.  Hefty Helga fishes
    alittle bit more and gets Sabrina to say that Dimitri
    had a call from a attorney from N.Y. and she told her
    what he said.
    
    Helga seemed a bit concerned as she asked how Dimitri
    was after the phone call.  Sabrina remarks just fine,
    he seems okay.  Helga is a bit alarmed as her bun 
    did seem to curl a bit as her eyes curled. *^)
    
    That was it for today.

Hi,

I've just started reading the AMC notes file just to get updates as to what's 
going on. I used to tape it, but I lost the owners manual to my VCR in a move
so I don't know how to program it anymore. Reading the updates has been just 
great. However I do have one gripe...and that is I REALLY wish you would use the
characters real names. I find it very hard to try and figure out who you're 
talking about. I realize that there is a list of nicknames in the beginning of
this note, but it's also difficult to refer back to that all the time.

Thanks for listening.

Natalie

    	Well actually Brian barged in on Hayley and Trevor. She finally

    	This just shows how much of an idot Brian is. He blames everything
    	on Adam. This time it was Trevor who most triumphantly brought her
    	to her sense by letting her realize it for herself.
    
	As far as Nat; Make my gag! [insert impression of Bush in Japan
    	here]
        
	As far as Craig/Will/Dixie... go Will! Craig is scum! 

    I forgot a important part to my update, how could I......
    
    Swill is sitting at the terminal while Creepy is sitting
    at his.  Swill says that he is wondering what Creepy is
    up to.  All of a sudden he figures out that Creepy is
    really embezeling the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Swill says now you have done it I know what you are 
    really doing Creepy Lawson.  Creepy is sitting at his
    terminal looking very worried about what he has done.
    
    That was the end.
    
    Tracey
    

    GO WILL, GO WILL, GO!! GO!! GO!!
    
    Will will make poor little Dix eat her words.  How could you be so
    cruel to your brother, even if he does have faults.  I thought blood
    was thicker than water.
    
    Gotta hurry and get the VCR fixed.  Can't afford to miss any upcoming
    action.

    /prc-->>  Comments on your comments for spoiler for today....
    
    I totally agree pppplllleeeezzzzzzz with Bry acting like a
    complete immature fool. *^)  I mean get a grip and find
    a new one.  He is all of 17 years old and does not even
    have the legal right to get married. 
    
    Calm down and take a pill.  He seems to like to use the
    IT'S-ALL-SADAM'S-FAULT-THAT-YOU-CAN'T-MAKE-A-DECISION
    ON-YOUR-OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Get a new line!!!!! *^)  If
    she wanted to marry you she'd happily do so.
    
    As for NASTY NAT that is a totally agree, like totally
    GAG ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I wanted her to dump that
    cheep champagne all over her frumpy looking outfit. *^)
    How could she be celebrating?!?!?!!??!?!?

    Tracey --> sounds like today's show was great!  (^%  Welcome
    new noter Natalie!  I guess the reason we all use nicknames in
    the updates is because the characters on the show always use 
    nicknames!!!!  (^%\'  So, we're capturing the tongue-in-cheek
    spirit of AMC in our notes!  (^%
    
    Spoiler comments -->
    
    Since Will caught Diesel-Lungs fixing the books again and stealing
    cashola from Uncle Palmer's company --> it's just a matter of time

    is!  I'd like to see tongue-flicking G L O R I A and Will together!!!

    what would they do for money?!?!?!??!?!  She likes the
    men with money, it couldn't be love for her. *^)  
    
    It soon will be curtains for Creepy when DUMB DUMB DIXIE
    finally gets it spelled out completely for her that
    her husband is a two-timing, money swindling, lying
    good for nothing guy!!!!!!!!!!!! 
    
    You know it will take alot for her to be convinced.
    Considering she is good for giving people the good
    old benefit of doubt. *^)  
    
    It looks like Hotlips knew EXACTLY what to do to get
    him caught. *^)  Interesting on her part, but I
    would hate to think that DUMB DUMB DIXIE would not
    want to be her friend.

    a bandage......in really life he wouldn't have had one either. 
    Unfortunetly I know that from experience, when I was in high school, my
    younger brother took a dare to jump from a landing and grab the ledge
    about 12 feet away.  Well he DID catch the landing but because it was
    carpeted his hands slipped and he went down twelve feet and his head
    BOUNCED on the fieldstone floor.  He was knocked out cold and I had all
    I could do to tear myself away form hima nd call an ambulance.  When he
    did come to he wanted to get up, and he was disoriented, but we kept
    him still.  The ambulance took him to the local hospital and they ended
    up transferring him to somewhere more equipped to deal with head
    trauma.  He had fractured his skull and to the amazement of his doctors
    had recovered in two weeks and went on to set a new schoool record in
    cross country.

    I was thinking that we've come a long way from Brian the Brain to Brian
    the Horny Hood.  Boy, like a million cold showers couldn't cool this
    guy down lately.  Looks like he's not interested in the books anymore. 
    Now he's more like his brother Trask the hood.  We'll definately be
    seeing that earring soon!!
    
    Cheryl

    I agree with dc.  Bryan is being totally immature and unfair to Hayley.
    He is using emotional blackmail to try to get his way and he is always
    yelling at her family.  I don't see how she can stand him.  Maybe she
    will tell him to take a flying leap - a long walk off a short pier.
    
    re the upcoming news.  I can't believe that Will would go directly to
    Palmer with the news that Creepy is embezaling money from Courtlandt
    Electronics.  He should have known that Palmer wouldn't believe him.
    He should have set it up for Palmer to catch Creepy in the act.
    Now Palmer will never believe Will even if he does catch Creepy in 
    the act.

    LaurieB

    Here is the update for 1/20......
    
    Bry is yelling at Hay along with SAdam and the rest of them how
    they always make decisions for Hay and he has had enough as he
    does tell her that he loves her, but she made her choice.  Bry
    leaves.
    
    Hay is upset now as she wants to go after Bry and Sadam does
    not want her to, but she is upset with him because he has never
    like Bry and doesn't want to hear anything he has to say to
    her.
    
    DORCA in the meantime goes to stop Bry as he gets in the car
    to have a heart to heart talk with Bry.  He tells him that he
    shouldn't be driving when he is like this and Bry tells him
    how upset he is with everyone and how he and Hay should be
    able to do what they want without all the help.
    
    DORCA tells him that he gives Bry alot of credit cause at
    his age he would have never wanted to settle down with one
    girl.  He then tells him that he thinks he is a very warm
    hearted guy and if he has a son he wants him to be just 
    like him, he would be proud.  PPPLLLEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    
    Bry tells DORCA he wants to be alone and will be careful
    driving, so DORCA lets him go.
    
    Hay meanwhile has gone to Swill's where she would like to
    talk to him, since he told her that if she needed someone
    to talk to he would be there.
    
    He tells her to come on in as she tells him the problem
    about what happened to her and Bry and how she can't under
    stand SAdam ither.  Hay was getting all upset as Swill
    tells her to go rinse her face with some cold water and
    that should help her for now.
    
    He then quickly picks up the phone and calls Sadam who is
    not there, but he leaves a message telling him that he
    didn't think he could do it, but he has.  He says that Hay
    is there and it looks good.
    
    Swill tells Hay after she comes out that he has a very
    quick run he has to make, but that he will be right back.
    She isn't to sure if she should stay, but he convinces her
    to do it.
    
    Hay turns some music on and is sitting thinking and calls
    her mother, but the prison would not put Arlene through.
    Hay is getting more upset as she turns the music off and
    begins thinking.  She is about to leave when Swill comes
    back.
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE had went to see Creepy at work where he
    was looking a bit worried as she comes prancing happily
    in to see him.  He wants to know what she is doing there
    as she tells him she came over cause she wants to start
    a family, NOW.
    
    Creepy is confused cause he tells her that he thought
    that she did not want a family cause of her career at
    the hospital and Jr.  DUMB DUMB DIXIE tells him that
    she thought about it and she can get help with Jr. and
    she wants a family now, cause he does to.
    
    Creepy tells her to run along home can he will be home
    shortly cause he has some work to finish up.   DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE runs on home.
    
    When she gets home she tells Opal that she was right 
    about Creepy and she has decided to start a family now.
    Opal can't believe that she let Creepy stay at the
    office as she tells her she should have been more
    persistent to make him leave.  (pppllleezzzzzzz I don't
    think she has it in her. *^)).
    
    Just then Palmer comes walking in and Opal asks Palmer
    why he has made Creepy work so late.  Palmer tells her
    and DUMB DUMB DIXIE that they had work earlier and it
    is finished.  Just as he is saying that Creepy walks in.
    
    Palmer asks him what he has been doing this late.  Of
    course Creepy gets out of it cause Opal makes up a
    excuse for them to leave the room.
    
    Just as they are about to leave them alone Swill is
    banging at the door saying let me in I have proof that
    Creepy is embezeling money.  He then says through the
    door that he was using the computer to transfer the
    funds that is why he was late!!!!!
    
    The whole family is stunned as Swill gets let in, but
    noone will believe him.  Swill wants Palmer to look at
    the printout he has, but DUMB DUMB DIXIE tells him if
    he looks at that paper she is out of here, Opal then
    says me too!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Palmer won't look at it as Swill keeps telling him to look
    at it and all Palmer can tell him is that you duped me once.
    Swill then looks at DUMB DUMB DIXIE and says you don't 
    believe your own brother over a stranger!!!!!!!!!!  
    
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE in a stern voice tells him he's not a 
    stranger he is my husband.  Swill then says he does not 
    derserve to be.  Look at the paper yourself.
    
    Noone wants to listen to him as Swill tells Creepy he will
    get caught and he is gonna do it and he better hurt his
    sister and he does leave.
    
    This is when Hay is about to leave Swill's and Swill comes
    back and tells her to stay.  Hay figures out there is something
    wrong as Swill is mumbling that he isn't the bad guy even
    though he cried wolf so many times.  He then is saying he 
    should not have left he should have stayed to convince the
    family.
    
    Bry is over with An Li and they are briefly talking as An Li
    was in the middle of trying to write a letter to Chau Chi 
    and Bry comes in and tells her she shouldn't be doing that
    and to talk to her mother.
    
    He then starts telling her about his problems with Hay and
    how they should be married right now, if the rest of them
    had not interferred.  An Li then tells him that she really
    likes being his friend and she is glad he came to her.
    
    She then goes onto say that she wants to help him and wants
    him to be happy and wishes she could do more.  They are 
    looking at each other very intensly as they begin to kiss.
    
    Bry gets nervous as he pulls away and tells her that he
    has gotta go cause he's not in control and he doesn't
    want to use her in anyway.  An Li tries to stop him, but
    can't.
    
    Bry runs over to SAdam's where DORCA had just left after
    telling SAdam that he has really done it.  He tells SAdam
    that he should not have been so hard on Bry and that he
    has done no good for Hay.
    
    Bry then comes in and wants to talk to Hay.  SAdam tells
    her she is not there, but does know where she is (cause
    he listened to his message from Swill saying she was with
    him) SAdam then tells him she is with Swill.  Bry goes
    racing over there.
    
    Hay is trying to talk to Swill about his problems and
    says she is glad she is there for him since he needs a
    friend.  They start to kiss, Bry is standing there.
    That is the end.
    
    Back at the Courtland's Palmer and Opal are talking about
    how Swill has done it again to there family.  They are
    both upset and don't believe him.
    
    Back upstairs in DUMB DUMB DIXIE's bedroom she is lying
    there with Creepy, who is not in to good of spirits
    asking him to start to make a family now.  OH PPPLLLLEEZZZZ
    someone slap her quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She can't
    be for real. *^)
    
    Creepy asks her if she really still wants to, she say
    YES I want to start a family now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    As Creepy is agreeing and DUMB DUMB DIXIE is starting
    her motors up he is thinking about Swill telling him
    what a slim he is.  That was the end.
    
    It was a busy day in PV today. *^)

    Did you all grab the scene in Dimitri's GOTHIC HORROR MANSION last 
    Friday --> when Nasty Natalie said, as she clutched her pointy bosom 
    in horror --> "...I don't think we will even have half the number 
    of people in Pine Valley, here to fill up the Ballroom!"  (^%  Gag

    Here's the people I'm sure won't be at the Ball -->  Adam, Palmer,

    Derrick, Mimi, An Li, Will, Run-Down Ruthie, Jovial Joe, Steve, 
    Dumb Dumb Dixie, Diesel-Lungs, Langley, Marion, Terrance, and

    that she couldn't fill up the ballroom.  She won't have many
    that is for SURE, as you pointed out there isn't many left
    to come.  I don't even know if Timmy would show up?!?!?!?!!?
    
    I think the I'M-NASTY-NAT-DON'T-HATE-ME-CAUSE-I-THINK-I'M
    BEAUTIFUL will have to start paying and selling tickets to
    strangers to fill the newly decorated ballroom. *^)  We
    can only imagine how old the furniture is!!!!!!! *^)
    
    It could be a lonely cozy evening for celebration for
    the two of them.  Maybe it could be time for Angelique

    a surprise that would be for NASTY NAT.

    The reason I say this is because Bry is so horny that he will keep
    Erica happy because then she won't have to go find someone new to sleep

    Here is the update for 1/21.......
    
    NASTY NAT and Dimitri are sitting very cozy by the fire gazing
    at each other as Dimitri asks her to stay all night as he is
    now kissing her.  NASTY NAT looks alittle bit like DUMB DUMB
    DIXIE as she is in a loss for words with a blank look.
    
    She says stay here as he says say the word yes.  She then
    gazes somemore as she says yes.  Then she goes onto say
    that he has been kind and considerate to her and don't 
    give enough back.
    
    Dimitri then says oh NASTY NATALYA you gave me alot since
    the first time I had touched you when in the well.  You
    have given me a whole new meaning.  Then they give us
    another spare me kissing scene as they show them fading
    away in the fire.  As Dimitri told NASTY NAT to "stay
    with him and let me love  to you all night long". Spare me!!!!
    PPPLLLEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    
    DORCA's phone is ringing as he picks it up and it is Jeze
    who is disguising her voice like NASTY NAT as she says
    DORCA and he happily says NASTY NAT?!?!?!?!?  Jeze then
    says GOTCHA!!!!!!!! Where have you been have you seen her
    tell me I gotta know!!!!!!!
    
    DORCA then wants to now first of all what she is doing 
    out of her cell this late.  Jeze then says promise me
    you haven't seen her.  He tells her to knock it off and
    he tells her he hasn't.
    
    Jeze then says the reason she is calling is she couldn't
    sleep cause she just had a dream.  She tells him she was
    dreaming about Scarlett and a horse from Gone with the Wind.
    She says you have to promise me you won't take Amanda on
    a horse will you?!?!?!?!
    
    DORCA is getting alittle upset as he tells her to stop
    thinking about horse's and count sheep.  He tells her
    he has to go as she makes him promise he will come soon
    to see her.
    
    After he hangs up with her the phone rings again and
    it is Brooke she wants to stop by after work and she
    will bring food. DORCA is excited now. *^)  She arrives
    by saying O'le as she brings in the bag of Tacos and
    the party is to begin. *^)
    
    She then starts giving him a talk as he is talking
    about how he is upset over Dimitri and NASTY NAT
    getting married and then Brooke tells him she was
    also upset over Jack going back with Erica. She then
    tries to tell him that life's a pain after one door
    closes another open.  THE QUOTE OF THE DAY FOR BROOKE *^)
    
    The next morning comes as Dimitri makes a phone call
    to Brooke and wants to know if it is to early for her
    as Brooke seems to have just woke up.  She tells Brooke
    he has changed his mind and he wants her to do the
    story.
    
    Brooke is quite shocked as she wants to know if this
    has anything to do with her friend NASTY NAT.  Dimitri
    tells her that he just wants everyone to know who he
    is and has nothing to hide.  Brooke then agrees to do
    a meeting now for breakfast at his place.
    
    NASTY NAT comes waltzing down the stairs all smiles
    after a good night apparently.  He tells her she looked
    so peaceful while sleeping.  She tells him she was
    very peaceful and happy if last night wasn't a dream.
    
    Dimitri gives her a kiss and then wants to know if they
    can set a date. She looks a bit surprised as he says
    how about February 14 (gag me!!!!) she tells him anything
    she wants that is fine with her.
    
    She then has to leave and he tells her he wishes that she
    didn't have to go, but she says she does.  He then brings
    up asking her to stay with him.  She says she will talk
    to Timmy about it and let him know.
    
    After NASTY NAT leaves Dimitri quickly picks up the phone
    and calls his lawyer and demands to speaks with him.  He
    gets him and Dimitri tells him he doesn't care how much
    it costs, but make this be over by the 14th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Sabrina is listening outside the door.
    
    Brooke then arrives with her notepad intact and he begins
    telling his story to Brooke.  Brooke seems a bit concerned
    about why he is telling so much.  She finishes the story
    and makes a call to DORCA as they agree to meet right then
    at the Goldpost.
    
    Brooke tells DORCA how she can't figure out why he was 
    so willing to tell so much and be so nice now.  She says
    there must be something to it she then says it is as if
    he is dusting off this secret to cover up a BIG secret.
    She says it just doesn't add up.
    
    then she looks over to NASTY NAT and Dimitri as they are
    walking in and says that could be it. That is how it ends.
    
    Bry catches Swill and Hay kissing and he looses his temper
    once again by yelling at Swill and threatening to kill
    him if he doesn't get his hands off Hay.
    
    Swill tells him to cool it cause it isn't what he is
    thinking.  Bry does not want to listen to him as he
    asks Bry if he has ever done something that looks worse
    than it is.  Bry is then having a flashback to his kiss
    with An Li.
    
    Bry tells him that he doesn't want to listen to anything
    he has to say and is yelling at Hay to come on!!!!!!!!!!
    She tells him that he doesn't own her and he can't come
    in there acting like a cave man. She tells him she is
    not going anywhere with him.  Then she wants to know
    how he knew where to find her.
    
    Bry says her old man SAdam told him.  Hay then says well
    how did he know. Bry looks over at Swill and says good
    old Swill the spy.  Hay was upset then and the two of
    them begin to yell at one another.  Bry finally decides
    to leave since Hay won't come with him as he tells her
    that he hopes the kiss was worth it cause he has had
    it up to his neck with her.
    
    When Bry leaves Hay wants to know why he did that.  Swill
    tells her that he felt he should tell his boss where his
    daughter was cause he was worried.  Hay tells him she
    is tired about everyone being worried about her.  She
    then says she has to go as she leaves.
    
    SAdam then comes over to Swill place and wants to find
    out about Hay.  Swille explains what happened about Bry
    catching them kissing and Sadam is upset at him for
    that. 
    
    SAdam tells him you better not touch my daughter I 
    didn't want you to influence her let alone seduce her.
    Swill tells him to calm down he knows what he is
    doing and then tells him to relax she is not my type.
    
    SAdam then makes a trip over to see An Li, but tells
    An Li he was stopping by to see Jr., but wanted to
    stop by and say hi to her.  He then starts making
    small talk with her about her friends and ends up
    mentioning Bry and Hay.
    
    He tells her that he knows that she is friends with
    Bry and that she should know that Hay and Bry broke
    up and he may need her.  An Li looks alittle upset
    as she tells him that she did a dumb thing, I kissed
    Bry.  
    
    SAdam looks even happier as he says you kissed him
    don't frett.  An Li makes him promise not to tell
    Hay cause she would be upset. SAdam tells her he
    wouldn't say a word.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

    I haven't seen yesterday's show yet, so I have a question.  When Hayley
    went to see Will, where did she go?  Have they ever showed or said
    where Will is living since he got kicked out of Courtland Manor?
    
    Also, I had to post a note for our anniversary week!  I was on vacation
    for a few days and it took me a week to get caught up again.
    
    I'm with Tracey and Jackie in wishing we could join you guys on the East
    Coast for your AMC dinner.  Have Fun!!
    
    
    Karen

    
    Hi Karen!!!   As far as I know they haven't ever said where Will is now
    residing, but yesterday it appeared that he's living in a NORMAL NORMAL
    apartment. :-)  Nothing, I'm like SURE, like the Hotel Californ I A !!!
    
    --Steph nearly just died at the hands of a lunatic Red Cross Nurse!!!!!
    I went to do my patriotic duty and donate the standard pint at the bi-
    monthly Blood Drive.  After being subjected to the usual "Have you had
    sex with a man who had sex with another man and/or any native sub-Sahara
    animal life since 1977??" etc. line of questioning it was my time to
    step up to the port-a-table and snuggle down - when out of nowhere came
    the Red Cross Nurse from HELL who proceeded to brutalize me and JAM a
    needle into what she apparently THOUGHT was my vein. But it wasn't!!!!
    The beast managed to - I think - collapse another vein and puffed my
    arm up like Jackson's butt.  Then they tell me I'll have a "Very sore
    bruise" of about 8" long and 5" wide across my inner arm.  I can only
    hope that it fades in time for DC Arrival.  I just know it wouldn't 
    go well with FUSCIA!!!!!!!! :-)
    
    I can't believe this!!  I give blood all the time!!  This never happens
    to me!!  So now my arm is killing me and I can barely type so I'm going
    to take a rest.
    
    Tracey ---> As always, thanks for the update!
    
    Wounded...
    --Steph 
    

    Karen Neal-->>  Welcome back to AMC!!!!!!!!!!  You noticed Swill
    has a new pad too, but everyone seems to know exactly where to
    find him, but us. *^) 
    
    Looks like he is all set up in some nice apartment.  Could it
    be Cecily's and Nico's rehabed apartment?!?!?!?!?  I doubt
    that one that thing should have been condemned. *^)
    
    Steph-->>  Sounds like you went through an ordeal from
    something not good. *^)  Hope your arm is feeling all
    better soon, sounds like it could hurt.  The good thing
    is that you STILL gave blood. *^)
    
    Where is everyone today?!?!?!?!?!  It is another sloooooooow
    day in here. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    
    Steph --> you must be really honked off at the nurse!  (^%  How could
    that nurse be so careless?  )^%  You just lived through everyone's 
    worst nightmare --> when it comes to giving blood!  
    
    Karen --> welcome back, have you seen or talked to Valerie?  Where's 
    Betty, Doreen and Jeanne?????
    
    Tracey --> another great update, here's a comment -->
    
    
    Like one more day dedicated to Babyface, Dumb Dumb Dixie and Diesel 
    Lungs would have totally put me into orbit!  (^%  Tell us more about 
    how Dimitri is going to let Brooke do the story!  Also, do you think 
    that Dimitri's conversation with the lawyer --> has something to do 
    with Angelique?  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    FOR LISA:  Now look girl friend, a simple hello will just not cut it
    for an aniversary AMC note!  Let's keep that closet door open now!
    te,he,he..
    
    Anyway, like my nephew is one of the main character's in that new
    movie "JUICE." He plays Rahiem.. He is Ambers' oldest brother on her
    father's side...Like this movie has a heavy message for evryone not
    just the kids..Mass America should wake up a bit after this
    one..(Similiar to BOYZ IN THE HOOD ).
    
    		LATER,
    NUB!
    

    
    The WORST part of the entire ordeal was that I was unable to fulfill
    my patriotic blood-giving duty!  As soon as that NURSE FROM HELL saw
    the swelling in my arm she  YAAAAAAAAAANKED  that needle right outta
    there!!  :-) 
    
    Wounded...
    --Steph
    

    
    Steph --> you better start playing like Lady Madonna (sans the tot),
    and put your feet up before you pass out across your desk!  (^% 
    
    Are you feeling light-headed, do you have a ride home?  (^%  This 
    sounds like something Nasty Natalie would do, when she was that groady
    attack nurse from Hell!  Poor Virgil Mason!  (^%  Like maybe you need 
    a large gulp of OJ? (^%  Start applying ice to the bruise.  I'll have 
    to bring you a special present on my trip back East, to help ease the 
    pain!  (^%  Would you prefer diamonds or rubies??????  (^%
    
    Like now, whenever I see a nurse brandishing a needle --> I'll remember
    what just happened to you...  I'll figure out a way to make the nurse 
    look at the wall and say --> "what's this?"  She'll say --> "what's 
    what?"  I'll say --> "it looks like a big, nasty, groady, riffy bug!"  
    
    She'll scream bloody murder and I'll run into the next room!  (^%  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont aka PHANTOM!

    I think Haley was in Swill's office, unless BrainlessBrian makes a
    habit of just walking into people's apartments!!
    
    Is anyone else completely bored with ALL the AMC story lines these
    days??
    
    Sorry to hear about your arm Steph... |^(
    
    LaurieB

    Hayley went to Will's apartment.  And it seems to me that this is the
    only time that they showed it.  Will has a computer set up in his place
    and that is how he caught Craig.  Guess he's been "computer stalking"
    him.
    
    When/where is the AMC dinner???
    
    Jinxie

    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Comments on spoiler for today....
    
    When Dimitri was talking to the attorney after NASTY NAT agreed
    to marry him (plezzzzz gag me!!!!!) he told the attorney he did
    not care how much it costs or what he had to do, he just wants
    it completed by then.  
    
    I could only imagine that this could be a divorce from the
    what he thinks and might not be a vegitating Angelique?!?!?!?
    He was very stern and to the point with the attorney, but
    we could not hear what the attorney was saying back.  It is
    getting very interesting.
    
    Now then after his completed phone call to the attorney he
    rushes to call Ms. English to get her to write his story.
    He told Brooke that he has nothing to hide (which usually
    means trouble) and began to tell his usual song and dance
    about what happened to Angelique and he even added what
    the Dr.'s had told him about a baby.
    
    He was definetely trying to make it clear that he had a
    past with Angelique, but ended in a trategy.  Brooke
    the ever so nontrusting-insecure-medalling-journalistic
    reporter felt like he was being to WILLING to tell the
    story.
    
    He wanted her to believe it seems that he was an injured
    party in this by the unfortunate accident.  Knowing
    Brooke she can't and won't leave well enough alone.
    
    Now can she crack the mystery?!?!??!?!?  I think she might
    be trying to figure out Dimitri's sorted past. *^)  Hope
    this helps.
    
    Thank goodness we were spared DUMB DUMB DIXIE trying
    to spawn a baby of Creepy's. *^)  I could not take another
    day of her begging to make a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Boy when
    she gets her mind on somethng nothing is gonna stop her.
    I mean pppplllllllleeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello everyone,
    
    Out of the closet for a brief shining moment.  Saw your pictures that
    were sent to Tracey.  Wish we could all meet someday.
    
    Bye,
    
    
    B. McC.
    

Hey now . . . I'm baaaaaacccckkkkkk!!!!!  And just in time to wish everyone
a very happy Anniversary!!!

I'm with Tracey on Dimitri and the Attorney.  He's trying to tie up the loose
ends on his divorce from the "Veggie" before he attempts to tie the knot with
Nat.

dc ---> And where was my phone call?!?!?!?!?!  What?!! You don't love me
anymore?  I knew you'd never get over Nat's toes!!!! (^8 (^8

    Hi I'm out of the closet, had to comment on yesterday's show with
    Nasty's outfit!  Oh Pleaaazzzzzzzeeeee!  Did you all see that she
    had 'Money' written in gold on that little teenie bopper jacket?!!!!!
    How fitting?!, and fittting it WAS!!  I'll let the FP rip her up on
    this one.  But I agree with Dianne, she is trying to dress a bit young
    for her age.  It looked like she had a cheer leading outfit on under
    that 'fitting jacket'.  
    This notesfile is the best and I'm glad it is here!  Happy Anniversary!
    	
    					Nomad (-;

    
    Actress Season Hubley, is joing the cast of AMC. The role is being
    written specifically for her. She'll be entering Pv just in time for
    Feb sweeps.
    Another role is being cast it will be a very famous face playing the
    part of a photographer who gets involved with Hayley.
    Susan Lucci is going to be doing a Ford Wagoneer commercial.
    On Jan 27 a PV resident commits a heinous crime and his victim is too
    frightened to fight back.
    Gloria tells Craig she is late.
    Candice Earley (Donna) last tape date was Feb 21. It looks like Chuck
    will stay in PV 

    Great Tidbits Gallant.  Thanks.
    
    I like Season Hubley.
    
    I read somewhere that they will be doing a sexual harrassment
    storyline.  I wonder if that's the henious crime???  They said it would
    involve a major character so I was thinking Will and Haley.  
    
    Boy, they are getting a lot of stars to come lately.
    
    I also read last night that a major ABC star will be jumping ship to
    CBS as soon as he can break away (meaning when they let him out of his
    contract or his contract is up).  I wonder who it is???  Gallant???
    
    Cheryl

    
    Gallant --->  Thank you!  I always enjoy reading your tid-bits!! :-)
    
    Can someone tell me tho, WHO is Season Hubley?  I'm lost on this one!
    
    Thanks!
    --Steph (Who has a much smaller bruise than the 
             Nurse from Hell promised!!) 
             

    Late as in PREGNANT?????
    
    DC -->  My husband had an inquiry yesterday, from a closet noter named
    	    Lisa in AKO, she wants details of his knowledge of my cousin
    	    Dave Chereton.  Should I tell all????? 8*) 8*)
    
    TRACEY->I'm two days behind and my daughter's birthday is today, so I'm
    	    sure I'm going to miss tonight YOUR UPDATES HAVE BEEN A
    	    LIFESAVER!!!  THANKS!!!!
    
    
    /red

    
    Hello Everyone!
    
    Gheesh Steph, we must have had the same nurse.  I gave blood yesterday
    and am now sporting a big bruise also.  It hurt like the dickens
    yesterday!
    
    I don't know who Season Hubley is either, please enlighten us..
    
    I wonder if Craig will do something to Whoria after she tells him she
    is "late".  If not, and Ditzy Dumb Dixie gets pregnant the two best
    friends can maybe have a joint baby shower.  Maybe that will be the
    heinous crime or perhaps Craig will do something to Swill or vice
    versa.
    
    With the clothes Natalie has been wearing I just can't wait to see what
    get up she gets on for her wedding made in heaven.  I was talking to my
    girlfriend last night and she also thinks maybe Angilique will show up
    with Helga at the wedding ...... just in time when the priest says
    "does anyone here have objections...." should be good.
    
    Well, better get back to work.  Just thought I'd pop in for a few
    comments.
    
    Dianne 

    
    Diane ---> Describe the nurse!!!
    
    --Steph
    

    Gallant-->>  Thanks for the upcoming news.  It sounds like some
    new storylines are brewing. *^)
    
    I know who Season Hubley is.  I remember her on Starsky and 
    Hutch one time. She has not really been on a tv show on a
    regular basis that I can remember.  She has though, been
    in a few movies.
    
    She is kindof cute from what I can remember, but it has been
    awhile since I have seen her on anything.  What a interesting
    choice from AMC to have picked her.  She was a good actress
    though.  Can't wait to see her.
    
    KK-->> Welcome back to the NOTES FILE!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Steph-->>  Glad your bruise is smaller than anticipated.
    
    Dianne-->>  Sorry to hear that nurse gotcha too!!!!!! *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Steph:  Sorry to hear about your brush with DEATH.  It happened to me
    last year.  Just GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES and thank GOD that Dr. Chuckles
    wasn't there, because you'd be a CORPSE!
    
    KK: Welcome back.  Isn't it nice to be back among MATURE people
    pursuing SERIOUS issues??????????????(nyuck, nyuck, nyuck)
    
    And NOW for the Official FP Report.  Yes, Nancy, I noticed Natalie's
    jacket.  It was custom made for her.  She asked for a garmet that would
    advertise her requirements for a husband.  All it said was MONEY.  It
    didn't say PERSONALITY or LOOKS or SCRUPLES or REASONABLY YOUNG or
    ROBUST AND HEALTHY or INTELLIGENT.  PUHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAASSEEE!!
    With this blue silk zip up the front baseball style jacket, (the word
    MONEY, incedentally, was written in GOLD....) she wore a bright
    yellow short sleeved jersey (looks like she invaded ding-a-ling-a-ling-
    nobody's-home-Dixie's closet...) and a bright blue short pleated skirt 
    with the  pleats stiched down from the waist.  The skirt looked like the 
    kind of skirts that prep school field hockey teams wear for uniforms. 
    With this she wore nude stockings and pumps.  This was a Dixie outfit
    all the way.  Nasty Natalie is making the transition from a
    sophisticated albeit somewhat manipulative independent woman to a 
    simpering yammering blonde perennial victim, right down to the INSIPID
    WARDROBE.  Did anyone else catch the ORANGE lipstick she wore while
    reclining by the RAGING INFERNO in Dimitri's pants, oops, I mean
    FIREPLACE!!!!??????   Dimitri looked ok in a white button down shirt,
    a dark heather Shetland sweater with rolled collar and two leather
    buttons, and a pair of lightweight brown pleated pants.  He also wore
    a MUHUNGA gold signet ring on his right hand.  Must be YE OLDE FAMILIE
    CRESTE....  this puppy is bigger than that gaudy Claddagh job that
    McPuffmeister wears on his giant pink paw......
    
    Must the FP comment on that INSUFFERABLE BOORISH LOUT Brian?  She must
    just make note of ONE THING.  Check out the HAIRCUT.  He has a neat and
    shortish razor cut aroung the back and on the sides (note: LOSE the
    SIDEBURNS...) and then on top, he has this MOP of CURLS.  Attention
    SY SPERLING....Is this guy a CLIENT of HAIR CLUB FOR MEN??  He can
    SWIM with his mop, and never worries anymore about DRIVING FAST in
    and OPEN CONVERTABLE.  His CURLY TOP is firmly attached!!!!  What
    do they call this hairstyle, the FRENCH POODLE???  PUHHLLEEAAASSSEE!!!
    
    Sweaters were de rigeur in PV yesterday, as SWill sported a natural
    colored sweater with a button placket, dark pants, and a white shirt.
    The next morning, he was wearing a blue mock T, as he hacked away,
    presumably reading all of PV's bank statements, of which he has access
    to by merely booting up his PC.  YES, and COWS FLY. 
    PUHHHLLEEEAAASSSEE!!
    
    Hayley was doing the Valley Girl dippy Cheerleader thing with BIG hair,
    a bright pink trapeze tunic, white leggings, and CHEAP AND TACKY ricky
    ticky PLASTIC flower pins (gaaaagggggg!)  Her not exactly Ozzie Nelson
    father SAdam wore a brownish tweed jacket, an ecru shirt and a YIPES!
    BRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTT yellow tie that could STOP
    TRAFFIC.
    
    Pollyanna, oops, I mean Brooke, wore a sage green ensemble consisting
    of a double breasted blazer and mock t shell and tight leggings or
    stirrup pants.  She also wore a big matte gold pin on her lapel with
    matching earrings.  The monochromatic thing was ok, but the FP thinks
    that the green needed a bit more blue in it.....The next day, she wore
    a deep cerise long sleeved dress with a scoop neck and a wide self belt
    with a big gold buckle.  It looked nice, but wasn't remarkable.....
    
    Looks like PV is going to have some more new residents.  Here's a
    REALITY POLICE nit for you all.  Did you ever notice that ONLY
    SINGLE people move to town???  When was the last time a MARRIED
    COUPLE moved in???  They DO move out, but never IN.
    
    PUHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!
    
    FP

    Ok, here I am, another closet noter coming out for the AMC anniversary!
    Tracey - thanks for the great udpates.  I was able to catch yesterday's
    episode and I must say your updates are more exciting that the actual
    show!!  
    
    I was wondering if the AMC writers are on strike or what?  The AMC
    noters could write better stuff than they have been.  I swear half
    the show was spent on NASTY NAT deciding whether to spend the night
    with a man she is planning to marry in 2 weeks and HAY and BRY once
    again fighting, breaking up and making up!!!  I think they just read
    the scripts from the last 3+ breakups they had!
    
    And how about Dimitri and Nat kissing???  Was it me or was he awfully
    LOUD????  And Nat's outfit was really immature!  The back of the
    jacket did have MONEY on it and other words like THEATRE and her
    skirt did look like a cheerleading outfit!  And for someone who
    couldn't make up her mind whether to sleep with this man, she was
    all googly over how "dreamy" a night they had.  To quote the regular
    noters:
    
    	"PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEE!!
    
    You know I must have been disgusted with yesterday's show if I came
    out just to vent over these lllllooonnnnggg and bbbboorrriinng
    storylines.
    
    AAggghhh Now I feel better.
    
    Happy Noting
    
    PC

    PC-->>  Welcome out of the closet and thanks for your comments
    on the updates. *^)  I am glad that you do read them.  It is
    hard to believe the hormones racing, selfish, cold NASTY NAT
    would have to make such a DECISION to sleep with a man. 
    
    Since when did she ever have to think about that?!?!?!?!
    Could it be Dimitri is not the one for her, then again as
    everyone had noticed it only spells one thing...........
    M - O - N - E - Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yes, they
    say money can talk. *^)
    
    As for Hay and Bry that has got to go.  I mean give it 
    a rest and give up on each other.  They both have roaming
    lips, so that should be there clue, to move on. *^)
    
    The upcoming news did say Hotlips Whoria is late, we
    knew that was coming.  What will DUMB DUMB DIXIE do when
    she finds out her best friend is pregnant.  The last
    thing she will suspect is, Creepy as being the father. *^)
    
    Sweeps week in PV is coming, that should be interesting
    to see what is ahead in PV. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Steph - the nurse was kind of short and plump with dark curly hair,
    was it the same one?   

    
    Diane ---> Yes, that was the beast!  I was talking to some people in my
    area who were also complaining about her. I have a Red Cross 800# where
    I will direct my "Citizen's Arrest."  :-)  That witch was awful!!
    I'm sorry about your incident with her, but am also relieved to know it
    wasn't just me!  Would you like the number - or the name of someone in
    Health Services to report this to?  Obviously, this "NURSE" should hang
    up her needles and rubber gloves!!!!
    
    Ok --> while we're Nat-bashing... what in the HELL is going on with her
    hair???  The only expression I can use to describe it is... BED HEAD!!!
    Looked to me yesterday like she'd gone to bed with wet hair the night
    before.  The sides were matted FLAT to her head, while the top was all
    bit and puffy.  PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEE!!
    And in some AMC preview I caught it looked even more haenus (SP?)!!!!!!
    
    That outfit was the worst!  FP --> Thank you for your brilliant
    write-up.  Nat was by far the most serious Fashion Violater yesterday!!
    
    Tracey ---> "...roaming lips" ... that is priceless!!!  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Season Hubly use to me married to  " Kurt Russel"--I am not sure
    if this is his proper name"
    He is the same man who has been dating Goldie Hawn for years.
    
    Season also played Precilla Presly in the Movie ELVIS.  And that is where
    she met  Kurt Russel-- he played the part Elvis and they both 
    fell in love and were married.  They have a child named Boston.
                       

    
    VSSCAD::BARLOW ---> Thanks for the info on Season!  I remember her now.
    
    "Boston" --> What an interesting choice for a child's name.  I kind of 
    like it!
    
    --Steph
    

    
    KK in LA --> Welcome back!  (^%  I did try to call you!  It was always
    busy!  A big welcome to all the new noters this week!  (^%  Happy 
    ONE YEAR anniversary to our conference!  (^%
    
    The idea of G L O R I A being pregnant with Diesel-Lungs baby, before
    Dumb Dumb Dumb Dixie gets pregnant with his baby --> is totally true, 
    poetic justice!  (^%  Like every tear that Dumb Dumb Dumb Dixie sheds 
    will find me snickering and guffawing --> remember that BOY GEORGE 
    song --> "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME?"  Well, in this case I can't 
    wait --> HURT HER, HURT HER, HURT HER, HURT HER, HURT HER!!!!!!! (^%
    
    Did you all grab the smooching scenes between the polyp-throated
    Dimitri and his tacky, totally groady, love-muffin Nasty Natalie? (^%
    
    These two kiss with loud sound effects --> we could all grab the 
    smirching and smacking sounds during each kiss --> thank Gawd they 
    didn't start groaning and moaning with passion as then roll around 
    on the floor! (^%  Suddenly, they finally sleep with each other and 
    the next time we see them --> they are all dressed and ready for the 
    day!  We didn't even get one afterglow scene!  )^%  I think we viewers
    were cheated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Like no, scratch that idea --> on second thought --> we were saved from 
    gagging big time! (^% Nasty HAUGHTY Natalie must have gotten permission
    from her stupid couterpart --> Dumb Dumb Dumb Dixie, to borrow some of
    her clothes!  The only thing Nasty HAUGHTY Natalie didn't do, was to 
    roll her sleeves up her arm like Dumb Dumb Dumb Dixie does all of the
    time!  Gag city fer sure!
    
    Ron --> maybe you may want to change your mind about this groady and 
    totally riffy doll with the GOLD LETTERS --> M O N E Y, emblazoned on 
    her teeny-booper jacket!  (^%  What has happened to Nasty Natalie?????
    
    Steph --> we are on the verge of a battle!  (^%  I hate to battle
    with you in view of your recent bout with psychotic, blood-thirsty
    needle-pushing nurses, but, I just can't help it -->  It like totally
    TRUTH OR DARE -->
    
    My sister has hair like Halo!  It always seems to look darker at the 
    roots than at the ends!  It's like totally NORMAL!  (^% If you want 
    to tell if a doll is dying her hair --> just check out Nasty Natalie 
    and that zaftig, yammering yenta --> Doodles!  The hair that gets the 
    least light should be darker than the ahem, natural blonde hair on 
    top --> well these two narly dolls have exactly the same colored hair 
    on top as they do underneath!  Halo's blonde hair is natural and
    totally NOT dyed!  (^%  It's your turn --> but I can tell you that 
    you are already wrong!  (^% (^% (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont aka PHANTOM!

    
    DC - if I am patient and play my cards right, NN will get hooked up
    with the Prince of Darkness, bump him off, get all his money and then
    get hooked up with me, (with all the cash that is). Since I don't have
    any money she can keep me around as her "Love Slave" - we can then make
    our own slurp, slurp, slurp, music together. ;^)
    
    Ron

    
    I'll have you know I set my GREEK SALAD aside for this...
    
    DC/Valmont/PHANTON/Norman... or whoever you are today... :-) ... From 
    WHERE did that attack come???????  I haven't mentioned Haylo's hair in 
    WEEKS!!!!!!!  I'm surprised you're trying to do battle with me and not 
    be my bestest CHUM after I publically SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMED 
    Nasty "Haughty" Natalie's hair this morning.  For once I agreed with
    the majority that it looked AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I didn't mentioned Hayley once!!!!  I think all that chocolate covered
    fruit is taking it's toll on you.  Either that our you've gone TOTALLY
    beserkoid over the upcoming Dinner?!?!?!?!
    
    --Steph may be wounded, but she's not down!!  Bring on the swords! :-)
    
    -- HAIR POLICE
    

Steph ---> Sounds like your honeymoon is over!    I'd be careful too.
	One of DC's "other" personalities is Valmont and we all know
	that Valmont is a love'em and leave'em type.  However, we should 
	warn your little "frenchman" that you have sinister Italian friends
	and that if he should hurt you, he can be relieved of having intact
	knee caps!!!  :-)  :-)  :-)  :-)  :-)


Ron ---> If NN is still behaving like a whining and helpless whimp when she
	takes you on as her "love slave", you have our condolances!  :-)  :-)

    
    I just remembered something, when Diesel lungs Craig went to WHORIA's
    room didn't he say he didn't come "prepared" and WHORIA said she was a
    woman of the 90's and had protection so apparently it broke if now
    she's saying she late.
    
    Dianne

    
    Oh JEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!  Look what you've started DC!!!  If my Hair Police
    Badge and Spray Gel get taken away ---> I'm holding Y O U responsible!
    
    --H.P.
    

    Bonnie just called me with a spoiler for this afternoon.  Enough to wet
    your whistle:
    
    Janet is having an ultrasound and they are
    
    having trouble locating the BABY!!!!!!!!!
    
    I asked Bonnie if she thinks they are doing another hysterical
    pregnancy story.  She says they thinks the baby is dead.  It's back on
    now but we'll get the scoop when our Tracey updates us!!!!!
    
    Cheryl

    
    Lisa-Marie --> how do you know all the intricasies of Valmont??? (^%
    
    Did you all grab that scene with Lady Madonna/Janet, when she called
    Orca her --> "Rhett Butler," while she needed her large hand held for 
    some reassurance about her bad dream!  (*^%  She positively refused to 
    eat another --> "healthful salad" until Rhett/Orca comes for another 
    visit!  (^%  Grab this --> Lady Madonna confessed to --> "seeing GWTW
    50 times and reading the book hundreds of times!"  (^%\'  But she's
    not--> "OBSESSIVE!" (^%  Orca is starting to soften up toward his
    Scarlett!  At this rate, he could marry her before Dimitri marries
    Nasty Natalie on Valentine's Day!  (^%  Maybe AMC could have a double
    wedding for those totally narly Marlowe sisters!!  (^%  (^% (^%  Gag
    city again!  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont! 

    
    Okay --> someone has to let us know about this ultrasound scene
    ASAP!  Maybe they can't find the baby on the ultrasound machine
    because of some kind of weird science.....  Maybe the machine is
    broken??????????????????????????????????????????????????? (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont!

    
    DC ---> SHAME!  SHAME!!  SHAME!!!
    
    As co-Moderator you should CERTAINLY know better than to post comments
    about the present day's show without a SPOILER WARNING and/or the use
    of FORM FEED!!
    
    Lisa-Marie --> Where is Little Valmont II when you need him??????????
    
    Oh and DC ---> Scarlett/LadyMadonna/Janet confessed to reading the book
    "at least TWICE!"
    
    --Steph
    

    
    I think that if Janet miscarried then they wouldn't be able to find
    the baby cause there wouldn't be one.  Wasn't she having stomach pains?
    
    I also have to comment on the blonde topic.  I'm also a natural blonde
    but I have dark routes like Hayley.  
    
    

    
    Steph --> thanks for the face slap!  I needed it!  (^%  Just one
    question --> how did you know that I needed it?  (^% (^% (^% (^%
    
    Tracey --> we sure hope you are typing in the update!  It sounds
    like today's show is a killer!
    
    --dc/Valmont with one red cheek!

    
    My ex- was also natural blonde with dark roots.
    
    /prc

    
    Alright!!  Ok!!  I get the message!!
    
    I hereby withdraw all Hayley route comments ever made.  But the ones 
    I made about W H O R I A stand!!!
    
    DC --> You're welcome for the slap!!  Wanna borrow my ice pack for the
    red cheek??  :-)
    
    --H.P.
    

    
    WHOOOOOOOOOPS!!!
    
    ROOT, not route!  Altho some of those ROOTS are long enough to be 
    considered a highway!!!!!
    
    HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha!!!!!  JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST JOKING!!!!!!

    This hair/roots conversation is a real deja vu!!!!!  Haven't we had
    this convo before????? :')
    
    dc and Steph, you guys are too much.  I love this sparing back and
    forth!!!
    
    I thought Natalie looked like a cheerleader "the morning after".  Thank
    Goodness we were spared the afterglow scenes.  I want Trevor and Nat
    together.  Nat is acting like a twit right now.
    
    
    I have to admit, I've been ffing though Brian and Hayley lately.  Like,
    who cares!!!! IMHO, if these two get together or not.  Not moi!!!
    
    Gee, if we have a show with just Brian, Hayley, Erica and Jack, I would
    be ffing through the whole show.
    
    Later.
    
    Cheryl

    Just a question, has Swill ever told Haley what he suspects/knows about
    Craig??
    
    LaurieB

    Nub,
    
    You know better than to send me a personal message in the notes file.
    
    You know AMC is my favorite sud, but I just can't spend to much time in
    the file this week.  We have to many crisis brewing, one right after
    the other.
    
    FP----> You are cracking me up
    
    DC----> You make me speechless
    
    Tracey---->  I just can't survive without the updates.
    
    I hope this Creepy, Whoria, Swill and Dixie line does not drag on.  It
    is going well, really heating up.
    
    
    Lisa (Who will have a drink in honor of your anniversary)
    

    Here is the update for 1/22.......
    
    A good one it was!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    SAdam is frantic about looking for Erica and fires the person
    that can't locate her.  All of a sudden there is a knock at the
    door and it was Mona.  Mona had come since Sadam had left tons
    of message begging for her to call.
    
    He asks her if she has heard from Erica she says well as a 
    matter of fact I have and she told me to give you this
    message as she hesitates to go ahead as Sadam tells her
    to just tell him and hurry.  She says okay as she lays a
    BIG POP RIGHT IN HIS STOMACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    SAdam starts to laugh and says you are pricless!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Mona says I just hit you and you laugh.  Mona then says
    I know what you are all about Erica told me what you 
    have done.  She can't stand you and doesn't want you
    around.  SAdam then says boy the apples doesn't fall far
    from the tree!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    He then says that is why I love Erica so much she is full
    of surprises.  SAdam then says I have to talk to her about
    Enchantment.  Mona says there is no way I will tell you
    where she is at no matter what you say you have to talk
    to her about. 
    
    Mona then says you are lucky I didn't come armed as she
    storms out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  SAdam says the apple
    really doesn't fall from the tree. *^)
    
    Brooke and DORCA run into NASTY NAT and Dimitri and at
    first Brooke says they should go but DORCA won't and at
    the same time Dimitr is offering to take NASTY NAT to
    another place.  NASTY NAT says she is not leaving cause
    of DORCA.
    
    DORCA then comes over to there table and says hello.  Dimitri
    being the protective kindof guy tells him that he won't
    ALLOW him as DORCA cuts him off and says I have only one
    thing to say.....Congratulations.  You have a good woman
    and I wish you the best and I won't get in your way.
    
    Dimitri is surprised and says well thank you.  Suddenly
    DORCA's protable rings and he laughs and says what good
    timing.  He picks it up and it is Jeze and she says she
    needs him to come quick.  
    
    DORCA wants to know what is wrong as she tells him that
    she is about to have a ultrasound and she can't get through
    it without him.  He asked when they are doing it and she
    says now. He then says tell them to wait I am on my way.
    
    After he left NASTY NAT being the selfish, uncaring
    only caring about herself says I knew it would be this
    way.  Brooke not being to keep her mouth shut tells her
    she should be ashamed of herself for saying that just
    because DORCA is being a kind and responsible man!!!!!
    
    Dimitri once again trying to protect his new wife-to-be
    says do you think you have the right to attack her like
    this?!?!?!??!?!  Brooke remarks I am her friend. 
    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Maybe this means -->Brooke<-- might
    be a guest. *^)
    
    Brooke then says that DORCA found out that Jeze has
    the hypoglaucimia and has to be careful right now for
    the baby.  NASTY NAT then says is that why he has to
    run to the prison for her?!?!?! 
    
    Brooke then says she has much respect for him for doing
    this even though he doesn't care for Jeze.  Then she
    goes onto say she is sorry if she was short, but she
    isn't sorry for what she said.
    
    NASTY NAT practically at a lose for words says she is
    sorry and didn't realize what he was going through and
    then wants to know how DORCA is doing. Brooke says I
    really don't know how he is doing, but he is trying.
    
    Dimitri was taken away from the table by SAdam who
    wants him to invest in Enchantment stock, which Dimitri
    won't do right now.
    
    When Dimitri returns back to the table and NASTY NAT is
    not happy as she learns he went to the prison to see
    Jeze and didn't tell her.  She feels he is keeping things
    from her cause he doesn't trust her or think she can
    handle it.  They make up right away as Dimitri apologizes
    and then wants to go, so she can move in. She tells him
    not today, but maybe this weekend.
    
    sAdam then goes and calls Bianca and starts to ask to
    talk to her mommy.  Bianca says she isn't there, but
    then wants to go get her daddy.  Sadam says no don't
    do that cause Stuart is here and wants to talk to you.
    We all know Stuart is not there.
    
    He pretends to be Stuart and starts making small talk
    with her and of course Bianca believes him.  He then
    says he would really like to talk to her mommy, but
    doesn't know what the number is.  Bianca says I know
    what the number is and he asks to get it.
    
    Mona is on the phone with Erica telling her about what
    happened with Sadam and her.  Erica is laughing as she
    says mother you are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He is really 
    looking for me and I am only 70 miles from PV.
    
    Mona then sounding alittle worred tells her not to be
    to happy cause SAdam won't stop trying to find you and
    to be careful.  Erica says I hope he turns all his
    frustrations into pocket change!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Erica was in a room waiting for a massage (yes --dc,
    here was your chance) and someone comes in the room
    and she is lying face down with a towel waiting for
    her massage.  All she keeps saying is all these men,
    all these men as her massage begins and she is saying
    it feel so good.
    
    Then the voice (which SAdam disguises) says turn over
    as she does as she realizes it was him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    That was the end.  She was totally horrified!!!!!!!!
    
    NASTY NAT goes home and tells Timmy that her and Dimitri
    are planning a celebration and they are to be married on
    2/14.  Timmy doesn't seem to excited but says that is okay
    cause he likes Dimitri and he can still see DORCA and Hay.
    Just then $$$eara and Jerm come in.
    
    They talk to her about her upcoming plans and they are not
    real excited about her decision.  She says there is still
    alittle heartache there, but she loves Dimitri and is
    going to marry him.  She then wants to know why her friends
    can't be happy for her.
    
    Both of them tell her they don't want her to be mad, but 
    she should take her time before rushing into anything 
    as NASTY NAT is gazing at DORCA's little cigar band that
    DORCA had offered her.  She then brushes them away by
    saying she has alot of packing to do, so they leave.
    
    After they leave she hurry's up and calls Dimitri and
    says HELLO DARLING (ppllleezzzzzzzz pass the Tylenol)
    Dimitri is alittle shocked I think to be called that
    asks how she is doing. *^)  She says she would be better
    if he would come and pick up her, Timmy and the dog as
    she is ready to go to Wildwind.
    
    Dimitri is a bit surprised as he says I thought you did
    not want to move in today, she says she changed her mind.
    
    He then arrives and greets her with a big SMOOCH and
    he tells her that she made his day.  Timmy comes out with
    Harold and says YUCK!!!!!! don't look Harold. *^)  They
    are all leaving and NASTY NAT is the last one to leave
    as she doesn't look to excited.
    
    Before Dimitri had arrived at NASTY NAT's Dimitri had
    received a phone call from Hefty Broom Neighhhhhhhhhhhh
    Helga who with a very big smile on her face tells Dimitri
    the most fantastic thing has happened you must come to
    Vienna at once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dimitri tells Hefty Helga that there are no miracles
    and it is all a fantasy.  He says he will not come
    to Vienna and he has plenty going on right now.  Hefty
    Helga now getting a bit grim, says NASTY NAT?!?!?!?!?
    he tells her he has to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Mimi catches the tail end of this and tells him that she
    has just completed something for him and got the info.
    he is happy about that.  
    
    Mimi had just finishes defending Dimitri at the hospital
    where Derick gets alittle upset when he finds out from
    Livia that Dimitri has sent Terrance a get well gift.
    Jerm then says Dimitri wanted to come by and buy a painting
    from him also.  They are all a bit concerned as to why he
    is trying so hard.
    
    Derick thinks he is trying to buy everyone as Mimi thinks
    there is nothing wrong and he and NASTY NAT are right for
    each other.  Mimi then tells Derick that she couldn't work
    for him if she didn't think he was okay.  She rushes off
    and goes to work.
    
    Brooke shows up and Derick talks to her about his mixed
    feelings about Dimitri. Livia spots Brooke and comes over
    to the two of them and hears Dimitri's name and says to
    Brooke you don't trust Dimitri you are talking to the
    right person then. *^)  Brooke admits her reservations 
    on Dimtiri hiding something too. 
    
    Now for Jeze.......DORCA gets to the hospital where 
    they are about to start the ultrasound and he is trying
    to talk to Jeze to make her not scared.  Jeze says she
    is happy he is there as he tells her he can't wait to
    see the pictures.  The Dr.'s (Dr. DoGood and another 
    Dr.) tell them let's begin.
    
    Jeze gets uptight at first when she wants to know right
    away if there is a picture.  Dr. DoGood tell her that
    she has to relax and it takes time.  Jeze keeps asking
    do you see my baby!!!!!!!!!! DORCA is trying to make
    her feel better while he cracks a couple oneliners and
    says it is kindof like radar, maybe we should sound for
    waves. *^)
    
    Jeze is getting more impatient as she says why haven't
    you seen anything, is my baby okay?!?!?!?  DORCA is
    starting to get a bit worried while he sits by Jeze's
    side holding her hand and finally says kid sighted yet
    Doc?!?!?!?!
    
    They tell them we got it and everything is okay!!!!!!!!!
    DORCA is soooooooooo happy and so is Jeze.  Jeze says
    she actually did something right and can't believe it
    as they are showing the both of the the picture of the
    baby and they point it out on the screen.
    
    DORCA is very very excited as he says it is unbelievable
    as he says it is a part of me!!!!!!!!!! He then says he
    can't believe they did it!!!!!!!!!  He is holding her
    hand as he is talking about the baby.
    
    DORCA then says he has to go now as Jeze says can you
    give the mommy of your baby a kiss before you go?!?!?!?
    He doesn't know what to do as Jeze says I feel we have
    reached a understanding now as DORCA reaches down and
    gives her a peck on the cheek.
    
    Dr. DoGood had left the room after Jeze had asked for
    a kiss and waited out in the hallway when DORCA left
    the room.  Dr. DoGood says he has something to say. 
    DORCA at first thought it was something about the baby.
    
    Dr. DoGood tells him that he gives DORCA the credit for
    Jeze and her will to keep the baby in good health and
    he says he knows this is hard for DORCA, but he is doing
    a good job.  That was the end.
    
    DORCA did a GREAT job today and you never know --dc just
    may be correct in a double wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    ERICA IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It is great to have seen
    her face again on AMC.  She makes the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    to Hay about Creepy and Hotlips.  He didn't come out
    and tell her exactly what had happened at the Courtland
    house.  He kindof just said he was upset and didn't
    really explain the whole story.

    I don't ever recall him mentioning it to her.  Why do you ask??
    
    I forgot to mention that I can't comment on the Haughty Natalie/
    Prince Igor kissing noises because every time these two BOZOS appear
    in a scene together the "FF" button on my remote gets a firm P U S H!
    I watch all Nat scenes with the exception of when she's performing 
    with Dimitri.  Him, I can't watch him with anyone!  The guy is still

    happy anniversary abc soaps.
    
    What would you think of Season Hubley returning as Demitri's wife
    Angelique???  The divorce goes through then she is miraculously cured
    and returns to PV on 2/14 only to find her prince of darkness walking
    up the aisle with NN.  Also in the backround at the wedding is our
    friend Trevor.  They meet and who knows what will happen next.....
    
    mb

    
    Tracey --->  Thanks for the info.
    
    Ol' Flabby Neck is back.   I'm like so psyched...
    
    
    
    
    			NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
    
    --Steph
    

    MB Caragan-->>  That is a great thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I
    bet Season Hubley will play Angelique, I am getting happy
    already about the possibility. *^)
    
    I hope if it is her she comes just in time to spoil,
    yes ANOTHER one of NASTY NAT's attempt to be a Mrs.
    Somebody.  I mean come on, how many times does she have
    to try with a man to get it done?!?!?!??!?!?!?  
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    I remember Season Hubley mainly from Family, she had a recurring role
    as Serena, Willie's girlfriend and kept popping up from time to time.
    
    She's been in many series and was mainly a character actress in series
    like Cannon, Streets of San Francisco, Kojak, etc.  I really can't
    remember anything she's been in lately.

    I feel I have to come out of the closet and comment on this "blood"
    thing.
    
    Steph,  I just gave blood and wanted to let you know that the nurse who
    took your blood feels just awful about it.  She drew mine this
    afternoon, and several others while I was there and there was not a
    problem with any of them.  Rest assured that she is not the witch you
    say she is.  :-).  I hope you feel alright now and this has not hurt your 
    ability to give.  It is very needed now.
    
    To all:  Thanks so much for all the updates and Upcoming notices.  I
    really appreciate all of them.  I only get to see the soaps when I am
    out but I feel right on top of things thanks to y'all.
    
    and - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SOAPS FANS!!

    Cheryl-->>  Ya, I also remember Season Hubley on Family.  She
    has made a few appearances on some shows, but it seems nothing
    as a every week thing.  
    
    I haven't seen her in awhile.  I wonder what she will be
    like, I sure hope she has a DECENT hair style or she will
    be in TROUBLE. *^)  I can't stand another NASTY NAT or
    DUMB DUMB DIXIE hair do, not to mention just them. *^)
    
    Doodles at least is taping her last episode soon, so we will
    be spared her nonsense.  I don't think she will be missed
    tooooo much.  NASTY NAT probably won't even realize she
    is gone. *^)

    Old flames like to haunt the background of Natalie's weddings.
    
    When she married Jeremy, Palmer and Marissa were in the back of
    the church.  Right after she said her I Do's in Elk Green (Kiss of
    Death City), Trev burst through the door.  Looks like she'll have
    a few more uninvited guests at these nuptuals.  The big question
    is, will these unexpected arrivals shake things up BEFORE or
    AFTER the I-now-pronounce-you's?????????????
    
    PUHHHHHHHHLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE get a new
    woman for Porkchop.  Enough with the Marlowe sisters....How about that
    new Miss Universe VaVaVaVoom DA??????  Or that tight faced, chicken
    necked big haired red clawed she-rug Erica, conveniently located only
    70 miles from the town of Pine Valley, where the hole in the ozone has
    mutated everyone's HORMONES!!!!!
    
    Does anyone know how the writers are going to get rid of that head
    cheese chomping clod Doodles?  The FP would like to see her EXPLODE!
    Boom! Right on the small screen, with nothing left but a cloud of
    black smoke and a pile of extremely cheap and tacky costume jewelry!
    Maybe she'll do that during Natalie's wedding too!  Or maybe Emily
    Ann will escape from the looney bin and club her to death with a
    shuffleboard pole (or whatever you call those things that push the
    little discs around...)  WHO is CHUCKLES going to end up with???
    The FP sees only ONE OBVIOUS CHOICE.  HINT: Lots of STUPID BLONDE
    BABIES will be walking around with simpering looks on their faces
    putting the wrong ends of their toy stethescopes in their ears!!!!
    
    Sounds like SWWWWWWEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS are fast approaching!
    
    FP

    
    Tracey - I said that Angelique would probably be back earlier (.6600)
    showing up at the wedding with Helga.

    
    SALES::GAIL .6639
    
    HI!  I knew from the instant that nurse realized she "goofed" that she
    felt terribly about it. She couldn't apologize enough, and I knew that
    she was sincere. I don't think she's a witch, the whole thing is really 
    more of a joke, but the fact remains that she was very rough person and 
    I wasn't the only one who noticed this.  The whole experience has NOT 
    scared me off from giving blood. In fact, I'm really bummed that I have 
    to wait another 8 weeks to give - even tho they didn't get even close to 
    a pint from me yesterday - and even more upset because I'm fully aware 
    of the blood shortage and really get into "doing my part."  The killer
    about the whole thing is that all the times I've given in the past (6
    or 8) every nurse has commented on what good veins I have --> So I just
    can't understand how this lady "missed."  That's all.
    
    Oh, I'm not keen on seeing Trevor and Pollyanna... I mean Brooke... get
    together.  The soft-taco scene yesterday was ridiculous, and I really
    wish Trev had done a few shots'o'tequila.  Imagine how he might act???
    
    FP ---> You are totally priceless!!
    
    --Steph
    

    Dianne-->>  I do realize you did say that, but I think the
    idea of Angelique being Season Hubley is great. *^)  I
    think that Season maybe be coming for this special part.
    
    I hope it is true. *^)
    
    fp-->>  I wish that Doodles would go off with a explosion
    to and I hope that she takes that totally tacky and so
    very unfashionable backless blue dress with her. *^)
    
    I do hope that DORCA does find someone, he is a turning
    out to be a GREAT guy.  Maybe he and Erica may end up
    together somewhere down the line. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    
    

    Does Season Hubley (sp) resemble Natalie in any way???
    
    

    
    Tracey ---> PERISH THE THOUGHT!!!! of Trevor and Erica getting together
    somewhere "down the road."  I would positively BLOW LUNCH ---> like for
    8 days straight if that  E V E R  happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Right DC??  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    
    Erica and Trevor would be awesome! They looked killer together
    that one time. Opposites DO attract. 8-)

    
    OH GAWD!!  I feel my Greek Salad resurfacing at the mere  T H O U G H T
    of those two as an item.  Talk about the GROSS_SOME TWO_SOME!!!!!!!!!!!

    Talk about "throwing your life away"!!!  Don't do it Trevor!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At least we wouldn't have to listen to her saying, OH Jack, all the
    time.  Trevor and Erica could be pretty funny together!!!
    
    Cheryl

    Season Hubley was in a movie about 5 years ago that I saw.  I can't
    remember the title of it.  Wings Hauser was also in it.  It was very
    well written as I recall.  It was about a prostitute and a pimp.  She
    was the prostitute and Wings Hauser was the pimp.  And get this, his
    name was Ramrod!!!  Anyway, she had a daughter in the movie and it
    starts off with her daughter going to visit her grandmother so she
    could go out and earn her living.  Then it goes on from there.  It
    was very detailed about life on the street.
    
    That Ramrod was a mean sucker!

    It's Nasty HAUGHTY Natalie who's going to be having too-many-to-count
    "NO Hair Days" if she meets the fate you've envisioned for her!!!!!!!
    
    "...bald as a billiard ball."  <--- That's a REALLY good one!!!!!!!!
    
    --Steph
    

    Do any of the rest of you think that the actress that plays the new DA
    is terrible??  Am I in the minority??  I just saw her first scenes last
    night and thought that she was sing-songing all her lines, and trying
    very hard to be dramatic and intense.  Everyone else in the scene
    seemed so natural, yep, even Derrick.
    
    Jo

    Since everybody has already commented on the totally tacky outfit
    Natalie wore the morning after, I just have one thing to say.
    WHERE did she get it?  I mean she didn't go to Dimitri's with an
    overnight case, did she?  She couldn't have had it tucked away
    in that tiny blue purse she had.  SO where did it come from?  I
    want to know.  Do you suppose Dimitri has a closet of clothes on
    stand-by just in case Nat would finally agree to spend the night?
    
    I can't believe Dr. Chuckles is going to stay on the show after
    Doodles leaves.  He is barely on now.  He is not even in any doctor
    scenes at the hospital.  Lately Dr. Dogood is our hero of the hour.
    Let's send Chuckles and Doodles off to visit Em at Oak Haven and
    never come back.  
    
    Nancy
    
    

    Maybe they mugged one of the local teenagers on her way to school
    and forced her to trade clothes with Natalie.  ;-)

    LaurieB-->>  I had to let you know that THANK GOODNESS 
    Season Hubley in noway, shape or form (you know I am firm
    on this) IMHO resembles NASTY NAT!!!!!!! *^)  
    
    I'll give you a clue to what she looked like when I saw
    her awhile back.  She had a very innocent and young, but
    cute looking face.  She also had a very natural looking
    hair, color and all. *^) Her hair was like a sandy brown
    color.
    
    I bet she will out shine NASTY NAT in everyway!!!!!!!!!!!
    Come on Season Hubley, join AMC and give NASTY NAT a few
    dreaded bosom clutching scenes, she can take it. *^)
    
    /prc-->>  You agree to on DORCA and Erica I like them 
    together to. *^)
    
    I think Erica needs a man like DORCA to keep her with
    alittle humor in her life.  I could see Erica trying to
    raise another child.  That would be great!!!!!! *^)
    
    Steph-->>  Sorry, but Erica and DORCA would be a team. *^)
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Yes, thank goodness Erica is finally
    back.  We need her back in PV. *^)  More comments about
    spoiler.......
    
    I just can't wait to see NASTY NAT's expression if it is
    the long lost Angelique, what a memorable one that one
    would be.  I bet she will turn 10 shades lighter in a
    matter of seconds. *^)
    
    I am sure she will then cry for help again after that
    traumatic experience.  Hopefully DORCA won't have 
    anything to do with her then. *^)

    Suddenly, everyone starts to coo and say aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!  (^%
    
    They found the baby --> Steve turned the monitor around and
    pointed out the little tot's hands, arms, legs, feet and head!
    
    Then someone whispered --> "I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!"  Then
    the older woman in the next bed did a "CLAPPER" commercial and 
    rolled her hairy chin onto her plump feather pillow in an effort
    to drift off into snoozeville!  Only kidding!  (^% I just wanted
    to see if you were all paying attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    Orca is unabashedly exuberant about his impending fatherhood 
    and grasps Jezebel Janet's hand tightly, as he sez --> "TOTALLY
    AWESOME!" (^%  He must have picked-up that expression on his recent 
    trip to Californ I A!  (^% Jezebel Janet nearly swoons with
    excitement!  (^%  She murmurs something like --> "...well, I
    finally did something right!"  (^%  Everyone smiles at her!!!!
    
    Just as Orca is about to leave the woman who said --> "JUST
    ONE NIGHT OF LOVE WITH YOU WILL LAST ME A LIFETIME," Jezebel 
    Janet cajols Orca into giving her a --> "KISS GOODBYE!"  (^%
    
    Orca doesn't even flinch --> he waddles right up to her bed, 
    kisses her on the left cheek as he holds her right cheek with
    his left hand --> Jezebel Janet moans, as she is about to go 
    into a state of total emotional overload!  (^%  Go Janet!!!!!!!!
    
    At the GOTHIC HORROR MANSION --> 
    
    Dimitri gets a call from Hefty Helga (neigh, neigh, neigh), begging 
    him to come to Vienna!  Dimitri refuses and finally hangs up on his 
    Teutonic mother-in-law/Governess!  He shouldn't have done that!!!! (^%
    
    Dimitri should know by now that HEFTY HELGA IS THE REAL [[BOSS]] IN 
    THE GOTHIC HORROR MANSION!   Anyone with eyes as fierce as Hefty
    Helga's --> better watch out for their lives!  (^%  She looks like
    she needs another dose of embalming fluid --> just to get her sultry
    eyelids to blink every other minute or two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (^%\'
    
    If Dimitri ever gets involved with Erica --> Maudlin Mona and Hefty 
    Helga will have a titanic, geriatric, she-rug battle, as they have it 
    out over who should do what at the wedding!  Mona will like totally
    refuse to make all the guests wear garlands of garlic at the ceremony!
    
    Hefty Helga will probably tie Mona to the torture rack, in the GOTHIC
    HORROR MANSION'S CATACOMBS!  There will be ear-piercing screams all
    night long!  One morning a svelte, new servant will appear!  It will
    be Maudlin Mona in a Vanna White body suit!  (^%  
    
    PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
    
    Over at Nasty Natalie's hotel suite -->
    
    Nasty Haughty Natalie is just beside herself thinking about moving 
    into the GOTHIC HORROR MANSION, we know this because she paces around 
    her suite in a perky manner and sez --> "oh dear, should I move in 
    this weekend or should I move in today?"  Suddenly, there's a knock 
    at the door and $$$$$$$$$$$eara and Jeremy appear!  (^%
    
    They both lecture the HAUGHTY Princess of INDECISION about the fact 
    that she is --> "RUSHING INTO THIS MARRIAGE WITH DIMITRI!"  (^%  
    
    PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
    
    Well, enough is enough, thought Nasty Natalie.  She shooed them out 
    the door and went to the sofa to clutch her bosom in horror, as 
    she began to contemplate packing all of her belongings!  It should
    be noted here that she also clutched her bosom in horror when she 
    told Jeremy and $$$$$$$$$$$eara that she was --> like grab this 
    everyone --> "so [[[[[[[***TIRED***]]]]]]] of room service!!!!!!!!!!"  
    
    PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
    Like she really said that!  (^%  GAG CITY!
    
    Well, Nasty HAUGHTY Natalie --> like I guess they don't have room
    service at the GOTHIC HORROR MANSION, they have SERVANTS WHO CARRY IN
    THE FOOD INSTEAD!  I suppose that's a big difference from just plain 
    old generic --> ROOM SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (^%
    
    Nasty Haughty Natalie is acting more and more like she is a top
    graduate from the Imelda Marcos/Leona Helmsley Graduate School of
    --> "LET'S ALL STEP ON THE LITTLE PEOPLE --> SO WE CAN HEAR THEM
    GO SQUISH UNDER OUR OVER-PRIVILEGED 5 INCH HEELS OF OPPRESSION
    AND ABSOLUTE, TOTAL GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  (^%
    
    PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
    
    Before we ever saw Nasty Natalie pack even her tawdry unmentionables, 
    Dimitri appears at the door saying --> "LET'S MOVE RIGHT NOW!"
    Nasty Natalie leaps at the idea and they all are on their way over
    to the --> eerie, spooky, GOTHIC HORROR MANSION!  They looked like
    the three little pigs in the cartoon singing --> "WHO'S AFRAID OF 
    BIG BAD HELGA!"  (^%
    
    At a certain unknown and very secret HEALTH SPA, we find -->
    
    Erica, clad in a soft pink terrycloth towel-sheet, chatting with 
    Maudlin Mona about Adam!  (^%  What a STAR!  Erica squeaks and giggles,
    as Maudlin Mona tells her how she delivered the message to Adam!!!!
    
    Erica has been having a tough time, being a businesswoman, 
    mother, enterpreneur, etc, etc, etc, --> so she is like totally
    ready for the masseuse to begin loosening up her tight shoulder
    muscles!  (^%
    
    The masseuse gently kneads the flesh on her shoulders, then he
    more robustly massages the tight muscles, in between her satiny
    smooth, shoulder blades!  The pink terrycloth bath sheet began to 
    slide down a little bit!  Erica quickly rearranged the bath sheet, 
    although she didn't have to --> since there isn't even an ounce of 
    any flabby skin on this woman's entire, silky smooth body, that 
    would have to be concealed from the masseuse's prying eyes!!!!!!!!
    
    Erica prattles on and on about --> "...all the men in her life,
    how they want all of her time, and how she just can't get any
    rest..."  Now and then Erica interrupts herself with several
    oooooooh's and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah's --> the massage is feeling
    soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!  (^%
    
    The masseuse said in an accent that was a cross between --> Swedish
    and a generous helping of Elmer Fudd --> VON'T EUWE PWEESE TWERRRRNN
    OOOOWER?"  Erica complies and when she opens her perky eyes, she is 
    too horrified to speak!  (^%  She must have recognized the masseuse!
    
    I recognized him --> IT WAS ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (^%
    
    --dc/Valmont aka PHANTOM!

    HI DC,
    	Did you just finish watching your tape when you put that reply in.
    I loved the I've fallen and I can't get up part. Yes I'm awake. 	
    	Maybe Trevor got the "TOTALY AWESOME" line from watching the Ninja 
    Turtles. I can see him now going home to get some hero tips by watching
    the green guys. On Trevor and Erica they'd probably be very funny
    together. But does she do leftovers? Especially NNs. I wouldn't think
    so. Other people usually get hers Brooke has hed Tom and JAck and Adam.
    Nat's had Jeremy and Adam. Anyone else. 
    	Haven't seen much of the show at all lately so I really can't
    comment on what's going on. Have a good weekend all.
    Barbara

    FP must immediately throw the icy queen of haughtiness with a bad
    case of bed head into the fashion slammer.  Not for the fact that
    her lips looked like she'd just consumed an entire bag of
    brrrriiighhhhtttt orange Chee-tos and washed it down with a good
    liter of Crush!!!!!  Natalie gets a free ride in the haute couture
    Paddywagon for wearing a totally INAPPROPRIATE ensemble to LUNCH
    at the GOAL POST.  She wore a powder blue long blazer with a matching
    skirt and a spangly sparkly glittery beaded top with a giant golden
    colored spangled doodad dead center where her collar bones meet.
    Congratulations to Porky for not looking like he was pining away
    for her in her new dependent and PLUMP state.
    
    Another big fashion horror show was Mimi.  She wore a light greenish
    gray poorboy ribbed tight turtleneck and a long tailored blazer in
    an absolutely HIDEOUS pea green color.  She also wore a bright plaid
    skirt that looked like it had been spray painted on that was SHORTER
    than those spangled hot pants that the Dallas Cowgirls used to wear.
    Add to this an expanse of long coltish legs and flat flesh colored
    shoes and it adds up to ONE BIG MESS.  She also wore some really
    GROADY silvery white eyeshadow.  Fire the new makeup artist!
    PUHHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEE!!!
    
    Livia looked nice in a sage green and ivory glen plaid double breasted
    suit with a straight above the knee skirt and a very pale green silk
    shell.  Derek wore that LAME-O black denim shirt with the bright white
    stitching and a flowered tie.
    
    TIGHT CHEEKBONES DEPT.:  Who has the newest facelift in town???  Why
    MONA (or should we call her MOANER??)  Her wrinkly skin has been tautly
    stretched over her cheekbones and under her bulging froglike pop eyes.  The
    surgeon missed her lined and ripply chin, but she DEFINATELY took a
    hiatus to have a little remodeling done!  Moaner wore a burgandy colored
    satin blouse and a burgandy, brown and grape muted plaid wool blazer
    over a burgandy skirt.  Her giant veined pingpong ball orblike eyes
    bulged out of her newly renovated face as her giant buck dentures
    spat out remonstrances at her cheeky but startled SON-IN-LAW!
    
    While Hefty Neiggggggghhhhhhh Helga is in Vienna, she might skip over
    to Switzerland and visit one of those world renowned specialists and have 
    a little nip and tuck job done herself!  The skin on her face looks like a 
    tortise's neck, or an elephant's leg, the FP cannot decide which.  While 
    she's at it, she ought to have her colors done as well.  The FP thinks
    that when she did her OWN colors, she came up with medium gray, light
    gray, beige, and black (shoes only.)  PUHHHHHHLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE.
    
    $$$$eara, the most boring (and luckiest) matron in town was cocooned in
    several layers of ivory colored wool that set off her newly hennad hair
    quite complimentarily.  We haven't seen much of the newlyweds, probably
    because she's been gaping at Jeremy's aging but rugged and hunky chest
    in bed.  Hey!  Let us watch!  I'd rather see a shirtless Jeremy in 
    a happy albeit boring bed scene than another INSUFFERABLY ANNOYING
    tight lipped Craig and Dixie scene ANY TIME!!!!! PUHHLLLEEEAAASSSEEE.
    
    Well!  At least we haven't been subjected to any post pubescent
    hormonal teenage raving from Cryin' !!   And Nancy, the FP hopes that
    they do keep Chuckles on the show.  She LOVES to goof on him.  He's
    such a DORK!!!!  He's not on enough to drive the FP crazy, but when
    he shows up, he's a guaranteed GUFFAW.  That's why I call him
    CHUCKLES!!!!
    
    Oh DC, great note!  The FP must add, that an even worse scene than
    Doodles cupping the Evil Arachnid's hairy chin in her hands and
    blubbering "Baby" was when she blubbered "Angel".  Open mouth, insert
    entire arm and empty entire contents of stomach!   Yep, HEAD CHEESE
    and all!!!!  Phew!
    
    all for now!
    
    FP 

    fp-->>  Great fp report again!!!!!!!!!!  I do however like the
    name Moaner how funny!!!!!1 *^)  I do believe you could be
    right on Moaner's face, it looks like a few of her noticeable
    wrinkles are gone. *^) 
    
    --dc/VALMONT-->>  Great update of the show.  I liked your
    extra lines in Jeze's bedside. *^)  I also think it is more
    than great that Erica is back. *^)  What a way to bring her
    back to have her dressed in a pink towel and a sheet. *^) I
    bet you were pretending you were SAdam. *^)
    
    What a surprise that was when Erica turned around.  It looks
    like she is going to be throwing a few things at Sadam. *^)
    I can't wait to see what happens. *^)
    
    Now as for NASTY NAT she is something else.  One minute she
    is saying NO to moving into WILDWIND GOTHIC MANSION and
    the next minute she is calling her new-founded husband
    darling and begging for him to pick up Timmy, Harold and
    her bags. *^)  I mean can't this dame make a decision and
    stick to it?!?!??!?!?!
    
    I thought that Mona did a good job yesturday as she had
    her fists clenched tightly and socked it to pops, but good. *^)
    I hadn't seen Mona that fired up since her dog days with
    Phoebe. *^)  I do have to say that it would be a good brawl
    between Hefty Neigggghhhhhhhh Bun Helga if they could get 
    the chance.  I could see them now goin' at it. *^)  Oh
    boy watch the goblets!!!!!! *^)
    
    DORCA was great yesturday with Jeze as he stood by her side
    through the whole ultrasound and even managed to give her a
    peck on the cheek.  He has been doing a much better job lately
    and I am beginning to like him (oh no) it must be the fact
    that he is changing storylines and getting away from NASTY NAT.*^)
    
    Steph-->>  You guys are sure getting ready for the AMC 
    dinner.  It seems as though it is going to be a GREAT time
    and noone should miss it.  I am going to start to pout again
    cause I won't be there, right Jackie?!?!?!?!?
    
    Tracey
    
                                                           

    
    FP ---> DC and I were wondering what you call those cylinder-like fur
    tunnel things that one would stuff their hands into in the cold weather.
    
    Is it a "muffler?"  And if not, could you please tell us what it is
    called, and then define a muffler??
    
    I'm helping my honey pack!  :-)
    
    Thanks!
