No joke!!!!! That was one of the best scenes.... it was the "why do I bother!" It was cute anmd loving and touching and freakin hysterical when it should have been. Loved it! Good thing she's said that she doesn't really want more awards now that she's won one (paraphrased, fo course), b/c otherwise there is no bigger jip than that!

Thanks for doing it though!

Wow!!! Congrats to TL!!!!! now I have to go eat dinner, shower and pass out. I went back to my nutritionist yesterday. They are having some pilot program for people who have worked with them before. I missed the first meeting b/c I had the wrong day so I had a meeting yesterday b4 the group meeting. The woman was a hour late! She felt horrible (I was annoyed while I was waiting but once she got there it wasn't a big deal... it was just raining so it was yucky) that she said she had to give me something for staying there and having to sit outside for so long. I got a present! She is training me for free. She said she'll meet me at my gym and train me if I want it. Didn't meet her for it yet but I went on my own today. I was working back into running (4 miles a day) b4 I stopped to do that portrait I had to finish (I wanted to finish that so I could be "dedicated" to this program) so I had dropped it a bit again. I ran 5 miles today and burned 550 calories doing it and I am certainly not hurting but I am exhausted. I like this lady's diet better. The other one, while great, it was good for more of a deadline kind of thing. This is more of a longterm/lifestyle thing so I can have more freedom and variety and much more of the things I like so I won't get bored. Plus I get to have greek yogurt so I'm a happy girl. Ok, I'm done now. PS, just out of curiosity has anyone ever heard of a clinic/ retreat in Arizona that claims to cure diabetes with the raw food diet?! I think it's bogus b/c it can't be cured (at least not type one which is what I have and what they say). I told my endo yesterday b/c we can't get my bloodsugar down, I have a resistance to my insulin (I know, good as a diabetic to resist the stuff that keeps you alive, right?) and nothing is working. I have been working out like crazy and eating much less crads so it should be going down and it's not so I wanted to see if she'd heard of it. She hasn't but it could be b/c we are in CT. My uncle told me about it b/c there was an article about it in a health mag that is friend owns and runs. Let me know if anyone is familiar please?!?!?!? Ok... so thanks for the patience, now I'm really done oh man... and so going to read the annals now! There are so many more since last I read!

Hey Halee, thanks for the clips, but it says that the capasity is filled or something like that. Is there anyway you can re-post them? or better yet, re-upload them?

Hey guys... Thanks for those stories, on my way to read them right now!!!!!!!!!!! LA- how do get so much of this stuff, I'm loving it all! As for anyone on the board, hi to you all and happy Monday and/or (depending on where you are I guess) happy Memorial Day. I'm asking this knowing, fullwelll, the asnwer but does anyone have clips from Tuesday and Wednesday? I haven't downloaded them yet and I can't find them on the board. I now they're there but I have no idea where. Plus I think they've expired. Thanks so much

So did I!! I try not to comment so much anymore b/c I just get impatient and anxious but I'm gonna do it anyhow. I loved it!!! It was so cute and loving and just plain lovely. It has the potential as a general story idea to go over the top and it it the kind that over the top at all may as well be in the next statosphere, but you did an awesome job and it's fantastic... now these parts need to start coming quicker or I'm going to go crazy. That or I'm just never going to read them and when it's done I'll check them all b/c I can't do this read, take a break, read some more thing. I need to have the whoel story so I can read it from beginning to end over and over again!!! LOVED IT Ok, NOW I'm off to get some cleaning done cuz the mom is at one sister's softball game, don't know where the daddy is, danser is going to work and the other one just left for Florida this morning. I like how my mom said we all have to pitch and an get everything done today b/c we have had so much going on this week it's piled up.... but no one is home but me. Let's be fair, I am only 1/6 of the mess and my stuff goes away when i use it. I'm not having anyone clean my room so I should have to pick up after my sisters. I'm fine with general cleaning... vauuming, cleaning the kitchen and all that, but if they leave their stuff around it's stayin'! That's all I'm saying. Done ranting and raving about that now. Time to get to it. Talk to you all later. And sorry, with no TRacy and Luke, my posts are going to have a lot of that kind of stuff in it. I'll try to come up with something relevent once in a while but it could be a stretch. Have a great holiday weekend all!!!!

Oh My God! I'm in anit-general-public mode right now. I went to my sister's recital yesterday. I am sure I'm horrible for not liking to watch all the kids' dances, but I don't have one to watch anymore so I no longer have to think they are cute... especially when there are about 2 hours worth of the same freakin dance over and over again. My sister is now in the oldest class besides the teacher/adult's class, so they have great dances. at least I assume they do. There was a woman in front of me who, I swear to God, almost made me drop whatever amount of class I have and know her right off the balcony. First of all, she had two little daughters, so I had to watch her, an amazon woman if I do say so, bob her big ol' head all over the place so I couldn't see a damned thing. I know they can't make it so that the giant families can sit further back and give the front tickets to people who are tiny like my family but wouldn't it be great of they could?! Anyway, her husband was next to her and he kept pushing his seat back into my and my pepere's knees. I pushed back when I got fed up but I don't think he could tell. He kept slamming it.. it hurt... the big jerk! When the dance was over the amazon would straighten up so she was even bigger and wave her arms around, catcalling and dancing like she was at a rock concert. I swear I half expected her to strip down and throw her bra on stage! She'd leave to go get her daughter and I'd have some piece but, I swear, she's come back the second my sister had the next dance so I could never get to see it. In 15 years of going to lease shows I have never been so mad at someone!!!! Drove me crazy, and what sucks it my sis had cool dances this year! She usually does, but, while she is incredible at tap and normally everything else pales in comparison, they were all really good. Her jazz was Steppin to The BAd Side from Dreamgirls. I think it was my favorite but I only got a glimpse so I don't know. What I imagined in my head to fill in all the blank spot was great though. Alright, on to go do some cleaning... then drawing... and hopefully sleeping (maybe if I'm a really good girl I'll throw in the gym, but who knows. Realistically I won't do any and I'll probably just be writing b/c I'm fimally back in that mode now since I have some free time. Hopefully I can finally send my story out to some people). Loved the Helena post... or at least the last line of it, it made the whole thing worth reading. I'm loving the blog. Though I haven't had time to contribute I am so loving it!!! I don't know who else is left to right as... is that what you are all doing, did you pick someone to stick to or are you just choosing with each post?

First of all..... you're damned skippy she is and Kelly just went up about %200 on my popularity scale. That's still nothing compaired to Jane, but since we've since established that the sun rises and sets with Jane, she probably doesn't need to worry about her standing with anyone I guess. And second.... Hooked- you've got mail. Ok night all

Absolutely!! I loved the look on her face when she came in with the bags. She was like a little kid with her shoulders up around her neck to hold her bags, looking both unsure and like she was going to try to be a big girlnot be break down and cry. That was the most she didn't try to hide the crying I think I've seen ever. Favorite part next to the crying was Luke's "yes" when he followed her out. I think actually the favorite part was that he was behind her when he did it and that he wasn't doing to for show or to make her think he was serious. He was just doing it for him, it was his natural reaction and I love him for it. There was nothing I could dislike or even be luke (pardon the pun) warm about with that epi. I think that's why I had a sh-tty end of the day at work. B/c the day couldn't be TOO good for me. I don't mean that to be overly pessimistic, I mean it's not fair to the rest of the world if I had a day as good as it would have been if the general day was nice and it was topped off by this Lunacy goodness. Nobody can have perfect I guess Quick question I thought of. Actually I was thinking it the moment I watched it but never thought to ask anyone else if they thought the same think. In that look Tracy gave Luke when she came out with her bags, and it might just be me, but I thought she had a bit of relief for him asking... like she'd been packed everytime he left wanting to go with him but he had never wanted her to come before. Just wanted to see if anyone else saw that in it too. Probably not... but the again, you can watch it now that I've mentioned it and see what I mean

Oh my GOD!!!! So far BEYOND worth the day-end from hell it's not even in the same hemoshpere as funny. I'd list everything I loved about it but I would just end up typing in all of their scenes word for word so I won't bother. Whoever said it, I'm with you that I kinda back and forth on how I feel about today being their last day for a while. As much as I lOVE that they had scenes like this it is almost like giving a junkie a big fix and then cutting then off cold turkey. We need to ween ourselves off we can't get thjis and then Nothing!!! But I will take it cuz it's along time coming and it was perfect. Wait, I take it back, I will list at least one faveortie part, (well a few but all based on the same thing) The cry. As much as Luke can be a complete sh-t to her she will fight crying everytime he hurts her... well almost, usually just a wimper but no big cry... but she was all out ready to start balling when he asked her to go with him. Anyway, i finished the portrait... just in time for no more Lunacy I guess... so I can be around a bit more. Still not a huge about b/c I have to start drawing and painting for some fairs in the summer. They aren't right away so I don't have to cram but I do have to get as much done as I can so it's not hours on end like it used to be but maybe by the time out girl and hubby come back I will be all done with my work and I can rejoin the T-Quartermainia.... woohoo for me!!! I'll post the new pic when I get a sec if anyone wants to see... Hooked usually asks so I figured I'd just post it here. No time for the BR at all tonight though so I'll see you all when I can. MF, good to have you back!!! I've seen you on a lot lately!

Ok, here is the story of my day, so feel free to skip the venting. I'm needlessly, though extremely, pissed off..... One of my bosses, the middle of the road lady really made me mad today. I know it is just in the way I took it more-so than what was said, but still. It came completely out of nowhere. She kids all the time so I know she wasn't serious but she is also one of the times who, though she's my mother's age, thinks she is 16 and it drives me crazy. She always needs attention and if we didn't hear a joke she made or laugh or not laugh or whatever reaction she was expecting she say the same thing 5 times till she gets it, or she will call your name so you see her make a joke or do something stupid. It's all in fun but it drives me nuts. Just a lead in to the erking me today. I think it is the biggest reason I am so annoyed. She stood up at her desk and looked over at us, there was only me and another guy who where there and heard her, but she said You guys are gonna think about me later tonight, to which I said no. I was dead serious but I did say it kidding (and yes she did know I was kidding so it isn't that she took it the wrong way). She said she was mad and that I was being fresh and mouthy. It would have been fine if she stopped right there but she had to go on about how mean and fresh I was being and that she din't like me anymore for another good 10-15 minutes. Every damned thing she said. I probably shouldn't have answered her, I should have taken the fifth which is what I doing from now on, but come on!!! Grow the hell up!!!!!!! If she was really hurt by it fine, than tell me and I won't say it again. If she wasn't than cut the sh-t, grow up, let it the hell go and stop making the new girl look like a jerk just for sh-ts and giggles!! And I'm sorry, but my dad taught me not to lie. I may not say something but if you aren't going to be happy with the answer don't ask the question is my philosophy. All I said was no, I don't think about people from work when I'm at home. I go home, draw for hours,a nd am withj my family so I'm sorry if she doesn't take up every minute of my day!!!! Didn't say the last part but the rest of it I did b/c... yes... she had to ask me why. Again I say don't ask the question. She just pissed me off to no end today. I have to say, I think usually it takes a lot for me to get truly pissed and I should have just let this slide but she hit every last button and then pushed them over and over like a kid on an elevator. AAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, I'm done now. Onto a happier note: I LOVED yesterdays epi!! Couldn't be happier (well maybe if they had some more of their really great romantic stuff and a kiss or two, but beggars can't be chosers) loved it so much. I can't wait for today! I want to go to sleep but I will tough it out to watch my girl's last epi for a while. Only good thing about it is that I don't have to go crazy all day wondering if she's on a or if I can get home early enough to check the thread and be able to set up my vcr. Weak, I know, but I needed an upside somewhere

Sorry! didn't mean to spoil anything for ya! Just wanted to shine a little light on the "good" things about what we're being given. While they are few are far between, they are there and I have found them!!! I feel like I won the scavenger hunt... but there's no prize. It'd be great if the prize were scenes that we REALLY wanted, but still. can't have it all

Ok, HUGE question that needed clarifying b/c I need to know.... JE is accompanying TG or TQ is going with LS. Big differences with those statements. Plus, as much as this group is pretty split as to whether or not they think those to or one of the two are gay, let me just say that I, for one, think they make the cutest couple EVER and so that is where my mind is going with that quote... they they are oh so cute and taking a vaca together. Now for the show. I haven't seen today's yet but let put a positive spin on the last 2 since a good many people think we got jipped. If really great writers were doing their jobs I think we would have been jipped too, but seeing the way things have always gone with our faves and the fact that they can step in sh-t and make diamonds they can simply be making the same old crap into something better than it would normally be, but I say we give credit where credit is due. TIIC, while they may not be producing great writing, they are giving us much of what we have been asking for for a LONG time, and all in recent months. Luke has declared his love over and over. He has said that he loves her (at the very least) as much as Laura and he doesn't want anyone else ever. He has or will be asking her to run away WITH him. And last but not leats, she kicked him to the curb and is making him work to get her back. Like I said, the writing may not be fantastic, but they are certainly giving us what we wanted. And if none of this is what people want to hear b/c, yes, the shows are still disappointing (I'm not saying they aren't, just looking at the silver lining) than to you I say this... becareful what you wish for... or at least VERY very specific!! edit: And *waves to everyone on right now (TL and Funny)*. Been a long time guys!!

Just to be fair to those who are delusional.... We don't get that worked up over laura b/c Laura is not a threat to Tracy... even if she came back, but Tracy is completely tearing down their whole beliefs system when it comes to soaps

I have only had seconds to check in lately so I don't really know why I wanted to comment on this, of all practically non-topics, but I do. First, I want to say that I've heard her use the word crap in older clips. I don't remember what they were so I very well could be wrong, but that's what I thought. And as for ain't I pretty much grew up thinking that ain't was bad sounding word for the illeducated. My dad used to use it all the time (no reflection on him by my last coment of course) so I went and looked it up. It is a real, honest to god word (not slang for the dumbies). It is a conjunction that means AM NOT. If you want to hear it used correctly, and this is when I really realized that people can use it the right way, is in old movies... basically any of the, take your pick. I'm sure people know this but I just thought I'd throw it out there b/c the only way I'd ever heard it used was from my dad, who retty much uses it as luke does. Actually they're kinda similar which may be why it doesn't bother me. But the crap thing I'm sure I've heard, thought I think the thought that the writers care enough obout them as actors and as a couple to have them picking up each other's quirkiness and habits, however bad they may be is very sweet. Ok, night! May be one of these days I'll have to time to stay on for more than I minute or two, but right now I have to go draw cuz I've been slacking and I have to get this done so I can do some paintings. Hooked, not that I expect you to still have it on your computer but if you do can you look at my prtforlio and and tell me what pick I should redo as paintings. Beside the portraits they were all fast so I thought I'd be able to get a ton done before the summer and be able to sell some. If not, no biggy, I'll just try to decide later

Hooked- thanks for thinking of me! I know it's been a long time. Haven't had much to say but I've been busy lately so I haven't haven't had time to do anything but lurke for a while now. The jobs going well. I love the girls I work with, they're fantastic whic makes all the difference b/c it's be boring otherwise since our branch is slow for a lot of the time. I had two guys try to rip me off today. They didn't try to hold us up or anything but they were the two jumpiest people that I've seen come in. The first guy asked for around $600 out of his savings and he wanted some in singles and some in tens so there were a lot of bills to give him. I didn't need someone to verify it at that amount but b/c there were so many bills I did have one girl count it for me to be sure. I gave it to him (sure it was the right amount) he went across the room to count it with his back to us and came over 5 minutes later yelling at me that I shorted him over $100.First you know something's up b/c he was pissy about it and making a scene and not just saying you know what, mistakes happen but I think you still owe me some money. He was screaming at me and I said I didn't short him but let me see the money and I will count it again. He didn't give it all back. He only gave me the 20s (when you asked specifically for 1s and 10s you don't think I'll remember that?) Anyway, the girl who counted it came over and said the same thing, she said "and now give us back the rest of the money she gave you", he still didn't give it all but she counted it and sasid ok, this is 440 and this (the second pile) is so and so and you still have another ten and a single you're hiding in you hand" Got to love her for that b/c I was pissed at him. He said I shorted him and handed us back the money but he didn't even try to hide the other money, it was sitting in his hand. He'd handed the first pile back and when we asked for all of it he said, oh and this is everything she gave me. How do you sit there and try to tell me thet I shorted you when you are holding the money in your hand [!@#$%^&*]?! Then some other guys did the same thing later on but he did it with a check and tried to say i gave him a hundred less, but I showed him the check and he just had the number wrong. But seriously, for them to get so mad or try to be covincing by acting pissed off is beyond obsurd!! Anyway! that's pretty much it at this point. Except that they have more food there than at the daycare so I've been going to the gym a ton just to stay at the weight I'm at now. Gonna have to stop eating all the junk (oh but the lack of will power...) but I am up to 4 miles running. I'm hoping to be able to train enough for a marathon or at least a half in the next year or so. Not doing acting classes yet b/c the lady I was going to take them with is directing something so can't teach right now so if anyone knows I site that I can find someone in my area that gives private lessons it would be great. I've looked but I can't find it. I'm sure there's plenty more to fill you all in on but I can't think of it now. The girls at the daycare were talking a lot of smack about me the second I left (not the two I'm friends with but two of the other girls). Long story, but to sum it up one girl, the "director" was telling all my parents nasty things about me and I found this out trhough my kids. They had heard her talking trash about me and told me about it. They didn't want to tell me b/c they didn't want to hurt me or for me to get upset so I know they weren't lying about it, and I kwo my kids, they wouldn't lie to me about that. But you don't know enough not to say these things around the kids, let alone someone they like?! They were funny, they told me about it and then they sat there and went "but don't worry, we don't like Nicole, it's a lie. We hate her." Not that I want then to hate anyone, but is it horrible that I love them for that? Anyway, my kids are great and no one in the world can beat them. One girl was bauling her eyes out when I left. She didn't let me go and she went home and asked her mom if she would hire me so she could see me (Her mom is in charge at another bank). She came in and goes "Kris, why didn't you tell me you were leaving (another story in that, they send a newletter around to let people know when someone is leaving... not a word about me. I've been there 6 years, had every kid in the building and not one word. None of my parents knew I was going and they were all mad the bosses didn't tell them) I'd have hired you right away. I'll let you know when we have an opening. Oh man, Kaylee's gonna miss you, she was crying all night. She wanted to call you at 7 this morning." I ove this little girl. She calls me all the time with " hi kristin, I just wanted to say I miss you. I hope you're having fun at work. I love you"..... ...... Can you tell I miss my kids. I so need to go bak to school for teaching so I can go back and see them. They asked me to be their art teacher. Maybe I will, that's the only ting I can do to have them all. ok, now I'll stop. Anywa shot you guys have clips of the last few epis she was on b/c I tried to download but they were expired

So a bit of a weird day today. I got up, from what I hear just b/c it was my day doesn't mean I don't have to do that, and cleaned the house b/c Friend (that's what I'm calling her here now, I'm not going to bother numbering her b/c she seems to be the only one I talk about on here, it's the one whose room I just painted) came over around 2:30 so my mom could fix the starps on her daughter's dress for the semi formal this Saturday. Then the lady from California Closets came b/c my closet pole is going to snap so we wanted to see if there is anything else we can do with it instead of a pole. She was impressed with my organization... pretty much thinks I'm just anal or belong working for them I guess! But anyway, mom mom came home at lunch today, wasn't supposed to, and said she has news about my uncle, her brother. This ios the favorite uncle, the one who I grew up with basically as my borther too. His cancer is back. He has had cancer on and off, I think this is his fourth time, since I was around 6 or 7 so about 15 years. He had Testicular cancer, had surgery, didn' think he could have kids, got married to a woman we all VERY strongly dislike and now she's pregnant. It turns out, with all he's had, she was the one with problems. Here's the part I don't like: How it has always worked in my family, and I'm sure others see this but it never fails with us, it that when one person dies another is born. Well with us it works in reverse too. They found out she was pregnant on the dya my great aunt died right before Christmas, they told us the day of the funeral. My dad, ever the funny guy, pointed this little fun fact out to my uncle. He was just kidding and trying to lighten the mood a bit and find an up side. He said the same hppened with his grandmother. She died right before I was born. Made it through their wedding but not much further. Well, anyway, he told them that and now, of course, Aunt Tina kicks the bucket (excuse that one) and they are having the merical baby they were supposed to be able to have, also like my parents. Now the part that make me mad is we found out Sunday thet my other aunt, his and my mom's sister is also pregnant. They have been going through treatments and been trying to get pregnant for a while now and now they are... yet another miracle baby I guess. we found out today that the cancer is back. I dodn't usually worry about anyone. I don't even really get concerned unless I really have to and I know when that is. I had a weird feeling today about it. Maybe it is just connecting the dots with this baby thing, but like I said it works in reverse for us too. She just found out she is having a baby and we find out he is sick. I hate to think of it this way and I hope to god and really don't think this will happen, but if he doesn't make it and this kid gets here (not that I don't want it to but you know what I mean) I am not going to be a happy girl. I feel horrible b/c I don't want it to effect how I feel about this baby and I know I should be a little more mature about this b/c one shouldn't have anything to do with the other, but the truth is I'm not. I guess I'll be fine when the kids are born, but until then I'll be thinking this. He i and has been my best friend since I was born and he's always been like my brother, if he doesn't make it through too see these kids born I am going to want nothing much to do with the baby. I'm sayng it on here b/c I am hoping that getting it out it will all go away and I won't think that at all. I don't want to sound as horrible as I am making myself seem, just venting... sometimes it's a little stronger than other times I guess. And as long as he is here the day the bay is born I won't think one is connected and I won't have any dislike for this kid. ARGE!!!!! This is the guys who has a joke comeptition with me for all our health problems, he's been ahead for a while, but I always say mine will catch up to him, my disease will cause more damage in the long wrong.... I'm officially done competing. He wins!

first of all, welcome!! SOOOO hoping he says yes and we can see te pic! Dillon's dad is Paul Hornsby one of her many husbands. He was forced by Faison and a cartel to marry Tracy to get control of ELQ. The cartel was withholding a med for his daughter (I think, it was something to do with his daughter Susan though). She found out after they were married but she would divorce him anyway. He was in love with Ned's then wife and after Tracy accidentally hit her with a car, Jenny (the wife) blackmailed Tracy into letting Paul go so they could be together and get outta town. I don't think Dillon's seen him since then at all. he was traveling around Europe and in SoHo until they returned to PC in 2003. I'm pretty sure that's all right, at least enough to sum up the story, but they'll let you know if I have it wrong TL- that's what I'm counting on!!! I am very good at hiding things if it come to that instead of just getting over it so I amhoping that I can just get the experience with this teacher to sdo that. The woman from school who gave me her name said she is great with that sort of thing so I'm kinda looking forward to it. Hooked- I just wanted to see if that was a good enough sell for the book. I am pretty alright with the concept of a query letter. I just know that the part about the story itself is supposed to sort of be like the part you read inside the book jacket, so I wanted to see if that was good enough since that is what will sell the idea to an agent I guess Thanks again for your help. Take you time Goodnight all

Mrs Q, clip question for ya... the two clips before the clip form the heaven sequenc with Scoty and Tracy, when are those from? They are both older, one is with Ashton and one is just her but she has some confused look on her face and she is in a black thing (I want to say robe but I don't know) with big white flowers on it. I was just wondering if I had those clips b/c I don't remember them. Oh yeah, and LadyA, I know it's beena while since I asked but I don't know if I ever got back to you. I had aksed you if you still had the clip with she and Ashton with the limo or limo reference. You sent me a bunch but they were all clips I had (meet the ashtons, making bounderies, all the lot that came with that group) I downloaded them all and none of them had any limo anything in them. Just wanted to see if you still havethe oneI was looking for b/c those weren't it, if not no biggy! Thanks again to you both

So I finally bit the bullet... My senior year in college (I know, we don't really know what year that was by my saying it with how drawn out it was, huh?) Ok the last year I was actually on campus, not the whole year I was just waiting for a grade... I had gone to see the career councelor (sp?) b/c I couldn't figure out if I wanted to go back to school for teaching, or if not, what I could get into in the art field b/c that's what my degree is in. As it turns out, and you all know, that got held up a long time and i just got my degree a few months ago, but she thought, though waited to see if I said anything resembling her idea, that i should go into acting or some field like that, something creative. Surprise surprise, I know, someone who is an art major should find a creative fun job where they are not behind a desk all day... boggles the mind. I shouldn't say tha b/c as easy as it sounds when I'm syaing it now, none of this was either obvious or easy for me to come up with at all. I had alwasy wanted to do that, still do, bt had/have no courage, HUGE debilitating stage fright, and had a lot of other things I wanted to do (I guess if I go into acting I could potentially do them all). Wow, this story is getting a LOT longer than it needs to be. Anyway, she came up with a game plan for me. It was the day before summer (I thought I just had to fill out some aptitude thing so the appointment wouldn't have mattered, who knew) and she wasn't supposed to do it but she said she wanted to know where I was with everything and she felt some connection with me and wanted to know hwow I was and where I ended up so she gave me her home email addres and contact info (trusting, huh?) and told me to email her an update every week to let her knowhow it was going. I was supposed to: -get my licence -a job so I'd be able to have insurance paid or be able to offord it -Take some acting lessons to get over the stage fright b/c that would help me wih teaching also. She has a friend who is big into acting in CT and has worked in NYC who will teach one on one, which is what I wanted until I am comfotable with it. I know officially have the degree, the licence, and the job complete with insurance whic, incidentally will now pay for the trip to India and the acting classes since it no longer has to pay for medical care (well I guess student loans though... I'll have to work that out). So I bit the bullet, excuse the repitition of that one, and emailed her the final update, I'd been slacking, told her all that and that I had written a book I'm also trying to get something with (worse comes to worse I'll call the writer cousin I guess) and asked her to contact the acting teacher or give me her number/address to get in touch with her so I can start these classes. I need to grow a set and get it over with or I never will, so now's the time. Holy lord, that was WAY longer than I thought. Sorry, night all. Hooked- you've got mail, in case you didn't already check it I sent you my query letter to have you check it out for me. Anyway, that's what's going on now, I'm officially going to stop being a baby, though I may need to bring a defibrilator with me the first few times b/c, no lie, my heart races like you wouldn't believe, I turn 10 shades of red and I get dizzy so I may pass out or, ya know, stop breathing. Let's hope the heart keeps working as it should. Now that I sort of havea job I can do all this, though.

Wow, didn't actually expect to get any info from you!!! Incidentally, we Gionet are, I'm sure, all related somehow, though a billion times removed by now... so how's it going, cousin in law by marriage 17 generations removed?! Thanks for all the info, I'm checking it all out right now. Now if only I had you as a source for the other side of my father's family... or my mother's cuz I have nothing on them... man I have too much to do for this stuff. At least for the Hottins I can ask the cousin from Pakistan by way of France (only actually French cousin I know of)... I need to find another way to spend my time! I guess I'll go back to my letter, I keep putting it off for some reason, probably b/c I don't really think my book is done yet, oh well anyway, thanks again Remos!!!

hey all! Nothing to today, I have a sick day so I'm looking up family info online... What's pathetic, Remos, is that you'd probably know more about them than I do... I can't find a damned thing. We have record upon records but I can't get anywhere from them and I don't know if they are just things that the family have or if it is well documented in the towns, but I don't speak french well enough to navigate the Caraquet site and find anything out. Internet sucks!!! Damned Gionet family does nothing for me, but the curiosity is sure as well killing me right now. I'm trying to figure out where we are actually Mi'kmaq, too many freakin marriages to know for sure. Ok, rant over, none of it significant, but you can all go on about your day and not have this big black cloud of mine hanging over your head- b/c I know it would be driving you all crazy all day long!! JK! Ok, got to go. I'm walkijng to the library later to try to get my mind off of wanting to go to DQ to get a frozen hot chocolate (that's what happens when sister 3 works there and brings home all the good stuff, or makes her own new drinks... oh man, one tasted like a frozen Shirley temple last season!), coming home to watch AMC and GH and finishing writing my query letter. Oh yeah, also hoping that on this walk I don't see my bosses [assing me on the road since I'm supposed to be sick. So shoot me- I'm healthy as a horse, but I have 4 sick days left and a week to use them, that's a shame. My boss got mad at me yesterday b/c I called her at 8:00 last night to tell her. "I couldn't hear earlier than this so I could actually get someone to cover?" Excuse me, but I had called the director, who IO am supposed to call, a few hours earlier than that. She would have had plenty of time but the director didn't call me back until 8 and when she did she said "hey Kris, can you call Boss-lady so she can get so-and-so to cover b/c I don't have her number. Let me know what she says". The girl just doesn't want to do her job. Not only is she is supposed to get coverage, but she couldn't call the boss herself for this? Come on! I got in trouble for doing this so late b/c she didn't call me back till late. Not my fault!!!! Oh yeah, and no matter what time I called yesterday it's going to be earlier than if I called her this morning saying I was sick. I gave her plenty of time. If I was really sick and was throwing up at 8 or later how could I have called earlier to get coverage, can't help when things happen! I guess in this case I could have, but I can't help when someone calls me back or checks their messages OK, now the rant is officially over!!!! You can all rest easy

I know they aren't supposed to charge, but I don't know what the fee was for, it very well could have been for the shipping, but every agent that said it charged was also marked as on the top 20 top avoid list. I didn't actually check them out yet, I just know what the list said and it was in bright red if they charged and were on the NO-NO list and it was marked in (I think) purple... or maybe green if they were good and recommened, or one was recommened and one was really highly recommended, but either way, it was very clearly marked whether or not I should even look at them, so I didn't. Thanks though, guys!!

nothing going on here so I'm just stopping in to say hi. Hooked, I found a website that gives a huge list of agents and who is or isn't recommended and whether or not they charge, so I'm on there now and working up some query letter for when I pick the people I want to try for. Just wanted to tell you

Opps, nevermind. I guess it did get posted afterall. THought the other post didn't work
