I had a really long post, but it got erased b/c it didn't go through. I don't want to have to put it all in again so... I got the license... (now not to quote Kanye West too much but) "now throw your hands up in the sky-y"!!!!

Regency.... Happy Birthday!!!!!

I tend to alwys think things have gone bad before they actually do, but I think that's still ok, Hooked. I don't think anyone will have any awful effects of food poisoning. Deb, glad to hear things are going well... or better. I haven't seen you in a while, sorry I misse you in the BR cuz I think that was the day I was in for a while, but I don't know. Looking forward to a fic though (* smiles sweetly with flowers, candy, and offering spilling out all over the place!!!*) Lainey- I'm with you about wanting Tracy to completely lose it over Luke. There are not a lot of situations that I thinking she would do that, aside from losing her mother, but I think this would be one of them so I realyl am hoping for it. TL, didn't post it last night, but I'm sending all the best vibes I can your way!!! ok, off to shower and study some more. My sister is either taking me to a movie or shopping after my test, so hopefully I'll be back to watch, but if not I have SN now so it's ok, hope it a good one though!! Later guys. I'lll et you know the results *waves to Hooked*

Woohoo!!! Thanks so much! Nex, thanks for the clips and Oh my God, I would be so rediculously happy if JE is on for all the rest of NOvember's episodes. ok, off to finish reading my driving info b/c my test is noon tomorrow

I guess not, I just looked at her I didn't even realize he was still wearing his jacket. Not all that observant yesterday I guess. She must have been wearing her coat from when she came to the mansion... or the blanket, but I don't know. And yeah, they wanted her to walk out of the room and leave them alone with a killer (that apparently she's connected to... so maybe she'd be safe) AND a bad back! Where's she gonna go?! She let them have a moment alone, I think that was plenty damned generous since Lulu has treated her like garbage again as of late. Hope today's show is good and with plenty of TQ!

Man oh man!! totally notice both those things!!! Actually I had to rewind in case I was hearing wrong, but in the last scene when it played I definately almost cried, which is really strange for me, so it must have been sweet. I love it I love it I love it!!!!!!! edit and let me just say this about Diane. I am still n the fence about whetehr or not I like her as a character, though I have been liking her more lately, if she even gets close enough to Luke for him to see the very bright red hair I have nothing against joining Tracy's team to take her down at the knees. She needs to back the hell off if that's what's going through her head editing again: Hooked, I do kinda like this sweeps outfit (though I was one of the few who liked the brown one, I think people just got sick of it mostly, so we'll about this one soon). I especially liked the last scene today with her wearing his jacket, very cute and sweet I think. And on the music, I'm a little surprised they actually gave them any b/c that would mean they are a real couple (what? shock, gasp). That's my take on it. I think it's a sign that they are making them a real "real" couple and they want the whole audience to know it, not just the LuNacy fans. But not only did they give them a song, they kinda gave them a sexy song! OR at least sexyish... approaching sexy. I think it is all-out sexy but i'd have to go back and listen to it again. Ok, night all. Been studying my driving booklet (annoying, I know). It's mostly pointless but they ask so many statistic questions now likewhat % of fatal car accidents involve alcohol? 40%, yata yata yata. I need to know those but I'm so bored with them, good thing I drive well cuz I'm not worried about that at least. But it's now 2:00 so I'm sleepin'.

Hey Colette (or anyone else on here that has it) can I get you email to send you the story? I sent you a pm but in case you don't get that till later I thought I'd check in here. *waves to Hooked, Mrs Q, and Nex* and Hooked, you've got mail, so do you ILTQ

Mt take on the "almost happy" thing is the same as Nex's. Luke is a cynic. He is content enough and he has a high ol' time doing what he does, but he is not a generally happy person. I think it is more believable that he said almost, too. I don't think it would ring true is he was saying he was happy. If he had said that, people would have been coming out in droves saying "whatever, he's never happy... except maybe when he's on an adventure". Even if she does make him happy, which I think she does, I think it takes more for him to admit that than it does for him to admit he loves her. having said that... I still have to watch it tonight, so seeing it play out I'll see if my opinion changes at all. Ok, for the three Santa's little helpers (yeah, I'm going there... it's after Halloween, that's all it take's for me. Plus I'm hoping to have it entirely done by Christmas, no particular reason just feel like I've spent long enough on it for now. (Sorry to Carrie and anyone else helping who is, I know you're jewish but I'm going with it) I'm off to do the rest of my work so I can pass it along! Thanks!!

Thank you, ILTQ and Colette for the ofers. I'll definately take you up on them. Like I told Carrie, I'm going to take another day or two to just do a final check of everything and make sure I have everything in it that I want so far and i'll send it to you both. Thanks so much for offering your time b/c as much as I love reading everyone else's work, this may be a pain in the a$$ b/c it's so long. Not really long for a book I guess, but it's longer than things posted here usually are Thanks again Thanks to Nex for the clips and... *waves to Nex and Colette* *add to that Mrs Q and TL*... party in the thread!!! Ok, I don't know who asked, I think it was TL, I just watched the scenes from yesterday again. I want to say that he was reaching for her, I'd love that to be true (usually I'm the first to go for that) but I really think it was him repositioning himself. I think he was leaning on that arm to move a bit. I think he could have been reaching for her in addition to that, but I think that's what he was doing. I chose to *believe* however that he was reaching so I'm blocking the other option from my mind!!! Oh yeah, and just a quick comment... did anyone notice Em ask tracy if she had any of Edward's meds? That's the first I remember her not calling him grandfather. I know it's just tv but that's a little disrespectful (says my father... not of this specifically) and for someone who is supposed to be the angel of the show she would never have shown such little respect. Even when she's getting bitchy and yelling at him she calls him grandfather... Oh yeah... and the acting was terrible. Good riddence I say!

I did, Nex, thanks so much... and thanks to everyone else too. Definately looking forward to the show later. My mom said it wasn't that great but I don't know if she meant the whoel show or just them cuz she know's I'm only in it for the TRacy. Either way it'll be worth it with her on. Off to eat and then watch a few kids from work. LAter all!

yeah , colette, I drew that. It's not one of my best but it was pretty good. I did it for the cover of the fan-zine that MinervaFan sent to JE for her birthday last year, which is coming up again, by the way.... thanks for all the clips on here guys. I'm loving all of them. Haven't seen them all yet though. I figured out how to record with the direct tv at least while my tv is on so I'm recording Friday's episode right now. got to love it. Not that I get tired of many tracy scenes but this will certainly not be one i get bored with any time soon. edit *waves to Mrs Q*

Oh man, Sorry TL. I didn't know who was actually on strike in the theater so I didn't know you were out of work too. That sucks, my dad's union was facing a big strike last year but they worked it out before it got to that. Stace!!! Thanks so much for fixing the picture for me, it works I guess b/c it's on here now! Magic, thanks for the theater info. Mary Poppins was actually next on my list after Wicked and Rent which are both on strike, so I may do that!! Everyone else, thanks for the birthday wishes and I hope everyone is having a great day. Hooked, I'm finishing up my story quicker than I thought. I think I have everything I wanted to add already in it so I'm going to do another check and then I think I'm good to go... at least for the time being. Thanks for all your help with this. Now I just need to write my letter and choose which woman I want to send it to from that list I had. Not much will come of it but it's worth a shot I think. Anyway, thanks again. Whenever you can read it again just let me know. I'll send you the few other new parts, but I won't send it to you as a whole again, I don't want you to have to keep downloading it. and on this... "And as far as him not saying ILY. I think what he did say meant ever more. I agree with you knh! I think that she did laugh and was a little uncomfortable with him being so serious with her. However, I think JE is playing the whole relationship like she said once in that magazine article...that she will let it take whatever form it needs to take because she will do whatever to stay with him...and her whole schpiel about not liking when he leaves her and that she has serious reservations about what he does and with whom he does it with---did you see he sorta lowered his eyes like he was almost feeling bad about that." that's what I think too, but the laugh is what is allowing her to keep things the way they are, I think he leaves when other people get to close or serious, not the other way around, so as long as it isn't her hitting him with these feelings he's alright to stay with her. That in addition to uncomfortable thing. Ok, I'll try to stop into the breakroom later, but I don't know that I'll be able to. I should... I'm only going to dinner with my family in a while so it's shouldn't be too late. Then again I have to make lunch for tomorrow cuz I'm working early and then shower b4 friday's GH comes on soapnet cuz you know I'm watching it agian!!! Ugh, driving test thursday. Not really gonna have a problem with it. Just in case my mom had me practice backing into parking spaces today. That's the only thing I really haven't done. She got pissed at me actually. I did it perfectly the first 2 times. She looked at me and just goes "Son of a b-tch, do it again" I did it perfectly 3 more times and then from the other direction so she said she was just wasting her time and we went home. I hope I do that when I'm with the testers. Once I get this damned licence I can get a real job that pays money and I won't be so far in the poor house. Plus my friend at work is having me do a mural on her son's bedroom wall. She said she'll just give me the key and I can stay they till I have to go to work and just get it done in the mornings. Either way works for me cuz I'll make some money... ugh, can you tell it's a big sore spot for me... I need some serious cash. My insurence is up in about 3 months and they are already not paying for my perscriptions (which I have plenty of) even though they are cashing my checks. Still can't figure out what's goingon there and I haven't heard back from them. Anyhoo, back to the good stuff.... birthdays and JE!!!!! Good thoughts going through my head right now

Hey, quick theater question for ya TL? Do you know of any that aren't striking right now? My mom was going to take me to see Wicked at some point for my birthday and she's been calling for at least a week or two now and since Broadway is on strike theuy won't even sell tickets. They did tell her to check around b/c they are not all shut down. Are there any you know of? if not no big deal, I'll just have to wait a while And yeah, I remembered the spoiler about the parallels, that's why I was thinking that, otherwise I don't see what problem he could find with Luke being ou of the way with tracy. I have to change my avatar soon too. I just have never found a picture. I wanted to use the one I drew but I can't get it small enough so does anyone have any suggestions?

AWW, thanks you!!! Loving my birthday banner by the way, great pics!! Ok, I know it's taken me a while to post but it's hard to look at my screen and type and bow down and worship the awesomeness that is Jane Elliot?TRacy Quartermaine similtaniously. OH MY GOD, they are so damned cute together, very sexy. I don't really know what else to say about that... oh wait... I found a way... They were spec-freakin-tacular. I love, like everyone else, that Luke didn't make a deathbed declaration. I still think he would have made it work but it was more effective this way. I LOVED the look on JE's face and her reactions to everything he said. I especially love that she is the one who laughed at him. It was clearly b/c she was uncomfortable which meant that she believed what he was saying and didn't know what to do about it. If she thought he was bull sh-tting her she still probably would have laughed but it would have been a different kind of laugh... you all know that one I mean. I really love that they didn't care that Scott came back into the room at all. The only thing I wish she'd ask Scotty, b/c we know we're all thinking it and they may have said it to others but I don't know if that's my imagination at work, is why he is so concerned with her marriage to Luke. If Luke is saying that he and Laura are in the past and laking out with his current wife in front of him it means that it is free and clear for him to go find Laura. It seems to me that he has the same kind of reaction to Luke and Tracy as he does to Luke and Laura. I know he hates Luke, but this should be a good thing. He shouldn't be acting jealous of them... unless this is how their relationship parallels that of L/L and Scotty (which I definately wouldn't mind by the way) PS: as for the picture of the crew above... how did NLG and JT get so lucky to stand next to such cuteness?! I guess the same could be said for JE about JT though. His character is starting to get on my ynerves again, but he's adorable

*waves to Remos and Colette* Wow!! sounds like a great day for our girl!! I can't wait to watch it on soapnet. Wish I had it on video but what can you do. Oh that's right, I can get clips (hint hint)!!! Not only that but I can watch the line up, not really... only wed and friday, on my birthday. This is the last show b4 my bday and it seems to be a great one. Vets-Day works for me I'm so loving this. I'm hoping it's not one of those episodes that it so much better in my head, but it seems like it's going to completely be worth it!!! Thanks for the recaps

I like your story better too! No Laura is always better, but if we have to hear about her that is the way I want it... that's if we HAVE too. I'll always take not having to hear about her though. As for those Medifast ads... there's one on this site right now. I haven't seen one here in a little while and right as I was reading someone say that they haven't seen any here there one is. Looking forward to todays episode!! Hope it's good. It's always worth it to me but I really hipe it's good

All I have to say abuot that (b/c I've been trying to ignore it altogether) is that he is allowed to think about the other one when he is dying. It is understandable b/c he spent so much of his life with her. Now seeing as this is a Tracy board and I support no other let me go ahead and defend myself by adding her in to what should rightfully be her story. He can thnk about Laura as he dies, but I think that Tracy will be the one that brings him abck. He loves her and everyone and their brother knows he does at this point so the thoughts of her and that he still want to stay with her and have a life with her will save him from the brink of death... That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. If it desn't play out that way I'm just going to curl up in bed in the fetal position, suck my thumb, and think it over and over in my head until it becomes real... or things start to float around my room Carrie style, whatever happens first

ok, so I was way off on the staircase thing, but oh well, I'll take this in favor of a two second scene where she falls with no one around, which is what I thought it would be. I'm so happy!!!! Psyched to watch it at 10. If only I could finally figure out how to record on my direct tv unit I'd be good to go.

Believe me, not a big deal. I had asked and I didn't think about this at the time. I fugire everyone will be too busy for it. It's not, no matter how short it is for a book, a short story so it's not a sit down and do it oin one reading kind of thing, especially when I would need feedback and specific comments and suggestions. So don't worry about it!! Hooked- definately didn't realize you guys were actually serious about meeting each other in NY. I thought it was one of those things like someone says "party in the BR who's bringing the brownies?" kind of thing. Anyway, you look like you guys had a good time! I'd have to see a pic of all of you again, but right now I'm going to go with your boys look a lot like you edit: hey Hooked, just saw that you're on, you have time for the BR for a few?

Hey guys, just checking in again... trying hard not to pester about my story. I'm probably going to say nevermind b/c I'm sure everyone is a little busy for this, so don't worry about it. On Topic: what's with the voice-over?! Elizabeth in the beginging of the show with the whole "When you're in the dark you never know who's coming after your or why" what was that? And no Tracy doesn't help to make up for this stupidity. If they are lucky and infinately more talented than we give them credit for they'll make up for it with what they have planned for her later this week and after.

Hey guys, I know this doesn't have anything to do with anything but I am looking for another to read my "book" (short for a book, but still) if they have the time and are willing. Carrie has been doing it for me, but I know she is pretty busy plus I need seconds opinions if I can get any. Please let me know if any of you have time to help me out. (MF, Mrs Q, anyone really but I know they are always looking for stories. This is not a Tracy related story... though she is totally played by JE in the movie in my head) PS, Hooked, I think I am pretty close to done!! Though I do keep cming up with more and more to add, but I think I've got another month or so and I am good to go! I know you're not around but if you check in I thought I'd let you know. Oh yeah, and I finally am on to comment on your last story. I loved it. It was fantastic the wholew ay through but you really killed it (I mean that in the good sense though I'm sure that doesn't come across when it's not actually being said instead of typed) when she started thinking about what it is to be TRacy Quartermaine and how she wants to be Tracy Spencer. Fabu... wait for it... lous!!!!! edit: waves to Mrs Q

ok, here goes... and I'm doing this based on the length of the response not the order you have them in, sorry for the confusion A) I'm sure it's not that bad with your students. I'm mean, I'm sure it DEFINATELY feels that way, but to be honest, in my school most of the people were crazy about the language teachers, especially one spanish teacher I had. I think she knew it for the most part, but she had been at it for a while and could read everyone really well. But I'm sure they all love you and the class, it's just a pain in the ass to them b/c it's still a class!! Just trying to spin it a little... how'd I do, ok? B)Woohoo about Oh Baby, but like I said before, I am still of the belief that it should never end. I know it has too, but I would like very much to have it keep going anyway, for my own selfing reading needs. C) Yeah, I had that too with the kids. I have one little girl, a new girl names Zoe. She's the most beautiful little girl I've seen (that I'm not related to of course!) and she's 4. Her mom came in last week to drop her off and she ran over to say hi and give me a hug. The mom said "Oh wait, your Ms. Kristin? My God, Zoe won't shut up about you." I've had that from a lot of the parents, but then again, my kids are little so as long as you aren't really mean to them they like you. It's just funny b/c no matter what the truth is, if you ask who their favorite is they will usually say it is you, with the exception of the really honest kids. One girl, Olivia, the other day asked me if I could come over her house and play with her and we can watch movies and go on her trampoline and have her Halloween candy. Her main teacher (yup, she's not even in my group) asked if she could come to see what she said. The gilr put her head under her collar to hide her face, laughed at her and shook her head. Poor miss lori, they can't stand her. I really do feel bad, but oh well. Sorry, that went on longer than it should have. I got a little distracted from my main reason for coming here by what I was talking about. D)As for Alfred, I think he could be in on it with Helena, butwhat I meant was that he was far away. One of those things where the person in hiding only faintly eard people talking or walking and didn't want to be discovered so they hide further. She's probably in some side hallway and he passes by without even noticing someone there. I think she would ordinarily yell, but I think when she doesn't know who is coming and she needs to hide (I'm assuming at this point she'll at least know the basics of what is going on) she can keep that to herself and just roll on down. Plus I think if she slips she'll probably hit her head or something and be knocked out before she is down and has a chance to scream, that and Alfred will be long gone before she is at the bottom. I don't know if all that made sense or not, but I see it all happening in my head and it works perfectly, so if t goes down like this at all I'll give you all a heads up if it was what I meant. Though lets keep in mind, it rarely ends up the way I see the scenes happening, which sucks but I've come to accept it.

Hey guys! It's all good here, Stace, thanks for asking. Just haven't been able to be on much lately. I do love the video and Deb's story though. I posted a whole big thing on them a few days ago but I don't know if it went up. Carrie- reading your story now and I'll post later but I'm sure I'll love it. As for the email, don't worry about not responding. I wasn't sure it got to you b/c I had one bounce back and i just thought it was the one I sent you. So I'm back at my nutritionist now. I'm doing it as a team with the girls at work and one's husband who is seriously in need b/c of his health. It worked really well while I was serious about it so now with them not trying to get me to eat crap at work and their being on it too maybe I'll finally get to where I want to be. Woot for me!! The husband, by the way, told me he asked the kids at work and they all said that Miss Kristin was their favorite teacher! Not much to do with anything but I thought it was cute. Now down to business. Personally (though I kinda like Hooked's hypothesis) I think that maybe she is sneaking around and probably here's him in the distance or passing in a hallway where he can't really see the stairs and she jumps back to hide in a dark corner... oops, that wasn't a corner... it was the Wyndemere?Quartermaine staircase (yeah, I saw that too yesterday). Then again, I do like the working for Helena angle. Loving all the little mentions from Luke lately. I know she's not on right now, but the next best thing is for her husband to make a point of bringing her up and reminding the audience and all those antiLunacy folk that he is her husband and he LOVES her like woe! Sorry, just a stupid thing my roommates used to say... speaking of roommates... Deb, how's it looking for the good Sister these days? or Tracy in Kentucky for that matter? just checking on them, I miss my girls after all. Stace... on to you with Oh, Baby. I know Carrie asked but I am too.

I'm catching up just a little bit, but I loved the story and the vid Deb and Mrs Q!! I absolutely loved all the clips and the transitions, the song... everything about the video. I've so ben missing those, Stace!! The story was really cute, Deb. I love how you did it. Like always, I am partial to longer stories just b/c I want to keep reading, not b/c it doesn't work as a short one, but I was able to overlook the length b/c I loved it. It was great how you took the obvious and cliche story of the woman weeping at her mates bedside and completely made it something new with her thoughts. It wasn't the typical story anymore and that's all it took. Good work!! Hooked... did you get my second email? I'm not sure it went through. It is the one with the short scene typed right into the mail, no attachment. If not I'll send it again, but I'm off to work a bit more right now. I'm loving that I'm on a freakin roll right now with this!! Oh yeah, and as for the epi yesterday... I know it was only two scenes and far to short for my liking, but I enjoyed it anyway. I know that is the concensus but I had to let my opinion be known. I, personally didn't dislike the hair, actually I liked it a lot, but I'll tell you why. Normally I do love either the oomph or the curly best but while this wasn't overly oomphy, it wasn't glued to her head either. There was something about her yesterday that I loved (like that takes much), first off, the outfit was fantastic.. to me anyway, but the hair and the makeup were great I think. I know they didn't put too much thought into it in themakeup/hair department based on the past but I think it works for her when she is with Luke, it is not only going along with her carefree, fun lovin' side she has with him, but there is something very natural about it and her when they are together, she isn't worried about being "tracy quartermaine" and putting on any particular show, she doesn't mind if he sees her and I LOVE that!!! Well that's my idea about it. Ta!! oh yeah, and anyone see preview.... TOTALLY looking forward to an either missing or dead Emily, plus the ball seems to start so we'll see who shows up when. edit hay Hooked!!!!

Wait, so I finally figure out how to use my vcr along with the direct tv only to have it do it's mysterious type-changing thing it does a few times a year and now I find out it does it on what could very well be a good lunacy day?! I know I now have soapnet and can at least see the eipsode, but clips please? Whenever you can
