Conference misery::abc_soaps

    Now you'll find out why I started this topic.

    TRENDS - What's Hot
    
    The Soaps Clean Up - Is that mysterious new character Rod's mother? 
    Rod's lover?  Or just Rod in disguise?  Sometimes it's hard to fit the
    pieces of a soap-opera plot together.
    
    But now you can get some practice by putting together soap-opera jigsaw
    puzzles.  Milton Bradley has 300-piece puzzles based on "All My
    Children," above (picture of Palmer, Nina, Pheobe and Cliff (I think) 
    dressed in period costumes not included here), "One Life to Live" and
    "General Hospital," all for about $3.  They feature stars from the
    shows and are probably a lot less confusing to figure out than the
    stories.
    
    Of course the puzzles are flat and not very realistic and pretty much
    two-dimensional.  But look what they had to work with.

    And now, the information you've all been waiting for (okay maybe
    one or two of you have been waiting for it)...where to get Susan
    Lucci's Professional Hair Care System.
    
    I happened to catch a few minutes of The QVC Gift Shop (shopping
    channel) and they were selling this in sets or individually.
    
    Susan Lucci's Professional Hair Care System (Retail value $85.00)
       They were selling the set for $35.92 when I was watching
       The various pieces of the set were also sold individually
    
    Part number is A-6190 for the set, didn't catch the individual part
    numbers.
    
    QVC Gift Shop phone number is 1-800-345-1515.  Perhaps they could give
    you more information if you're interested in purchasing the products.

    Thanks Jan! I was one of those people who wanted the info! I think 
    that if Susan REALLY DOES use these products that I'll try them! I
    heard something about this months ago, and figured it was a joke or
    rumor!
    
    Thanks again!
    Bonnie

    Bonnie,
    
    All the people that called in and got to talk to Susan were raving 
    about how great her products were.  In fact one lady used it on her 
    mother's hair and over time her grey hair has regained alot of its 
    original red coloring.  Apparently the products are  supposed to
    contain some very healthy ingredients.  I believe it was the elixer 
    for hair that this woman was raving about but I can't be certain.  
    Also, they discussed the scent that people were indicating they liked, 
    it comes from Japanese pears which are, I guess, part of the ingredients.
    
    Let me know if you purchase anything, and how you like it.

    Thanks, Jan!! I'll let you know for sure!
    
    I'm going to call the station this weekend!
    Bon

    Bon:
    
    Did you call and get the info?

    Hi Jackie----> No, I haven't called yet. I want to wait for the right
    time to ask. I was going to last weekend, but I saw this BEAUTIFUL
    Carousel Pony statue in a store last weekend, and went home telling
    Dave that I ***HAD*** to have it, and that I'd wait til Christmas to
    open it if he'd get it for me. He got it & put it on my bookshelf, so I 
    took it that he wanted me to have it right away. I figure I'm doing
    pretty good here, so I'll wait to ask about the hair care products til
    THIS weekend. I don't HAVE to ask, but we're doing a lot of spending 
    these days, so I'm being careful.
    
    I'll letcha know if I call!

    Elaine:
    
    Ha, Ha, Ha.  You are too funny.  But, would you really want checks with
    Stan the Beanie Man's face on them?????  Can you imagine looking at
    that face everytime you opened your checkbook!!!!!  Ugh!!!  
    
    I'm sorry you are leaving the company.  I will really miss you in this
    file.

    In case some of you didn't notice...in this month's Episodes
    there are a couple of advertisements for a game called "How to Host
    a Murder" that is played using AMC characters as the characters
    in the game.
    
    It appears that this game is available through several toy stores
    in addition to being available through Episodes.  Toys R Us is 
    one of the stores.  I don't remember the rest, but, if anyone requests
    info, I'll try to remember to bring the magazine in and post the
    complete details.

RE: -1

I saw the game at the store Innovations in Acton if anyone's looking for it.
I believe it sells for about $30/$35.

Debbi

    Gosh, that's a lot for the AMC game...........bet if we wait 'til after
    Christmas it will be 1/2 price!

    Bonnie

    Jackie if you order the game from Episodes it's only $18.95 (it's on
    page 92 ) .
