Hooked, just wanted to say good luck posting it! *waves to Rege*, long time no see! Can't wait (or should I say still waiting) for that story... heart's raising a bit in anticipation, but that's me, good ol' addict lookin' for a hit

Ok, my two cents about the spumor... (I already gave one opinion, but I put no money on it till now) Never gonna happen. gotta love my mommy for bringing down the voice of reason. They will never make a Main character a killer unless they are mob related. And yes, no matter how much we b-tch and moan about how little she is on, she's a main character and on way more than any other vet with the exception of TG. They'd never do it b/c it means they'd lose them and I don't think they'd be willing to lose her. She 1) just keeps coming back, and 2) she makes the show when she does, no matter how many cheap knockoffs they write, she is the real deal and no one does it better. so we're all safe..... though I did have myself a good cry, Ms. Q, got over it though now debate if you must, but those are my beliefs and I hold them near and dear to my heart. ain't nobody gonna ruin it for me!!

Fan FREAKINtastic!!!! what the h-ll is all that about?! Why can't the writers spend more time worrying about how keep the fabulous character that is Tracy on contract and on the damn screen instead of making up new, boring, pointless characters like Dr. Whatshisname? Come on, folks, isn't that sacareligious? The whole church of Tracy is going to crash and burn this May... or... we are just going to ignore it, pray like hell and make sure that we get our Lunacy moment of "bliss" when it's supposed to happen. Sidenote: that would be unbelievably cruel to be building them up (especially with such a sad and touching story like this), let them get to be the couple we all already know they are, and then rip them to shreds with something like that at their ANNIVERSARY! oh yeah, not to mention that, no matter how cruel and cold-hearted Tracy was, there were certain things she would never do. She may lie and cheat and steal, but she would never be unfaithful and she wouldn't kill anyone (not on purpose at least, that near accidental death with jenny doesn't count) That said....... if they make Tracy his killer i will, not only, boycott the show but I'm gonna pull a Carrie and things will be flying at Guza's think head. The sh-t's sure as hell gonna hit the fan, my friends. And Ms. Q, I would have been very happy living my sheltered little life, here in Cowtown, USA, thinking that Tracy was a sometimes snotty but otherwise good person. I think I might have myself a little cry over this... I hope you're happy

Sorry, Hooked. Like usual I got kicked off. Had a great time talking to you though!! Good luck on your painting and writing. I can't wait to read your story!!!! night

Thanks a ton!!! My cons list were some pretty big cons when I thought about it, but I do want to do it so screw it, right?! Plus, as a diabetic I need as much exsercise as I can get, so this will definately do it. I never have time to go to the gym, that I, of course, have a membership to, but if it's my job I'll have to go, so pluses all around! anyway, thanks again. Ms. Q loved all the videos. my only problem was the wedding clip on the L/T instrumental one. it may just be a personal preference, so don't put too much stock in what I say. It was sort of sandwiched between two darker clips which made that one a bit like walking out of a dark movie theater, with all the white it was a bit bright for me. But that was the only thing. Otherwise I loved them all! hanging out with Hooked in the BR if she's still there... stop on by

I know... I thought maybe writing it down would help me decide. it didn't yet, but I think I may end up doing it. I spoke to my friend who is doing it now.

I think she definately thinks of lulu as her daughter now, especially if you look at the way she and her own kids interact... not that different, so why wouldn't she? I also think she is much better than LC. No disrepect to her at all cuz I do like her, but there is just something about it that always seems like she is acting to me. and her teeth bother me a lot. don't know why, they just do, they look really fake. Oh yeah, and i thought she looked amazing today, by the way. She looked younger (not that that makes a difference)and happier and less tired than she has in maybe 2 weeks. LOVE her!!! (and she was hysterical and fabulous, even for only one scene) Ok, here's is the question I know is on everyone's mind... (obviously, not really, but I'm going to take my own little opinion poll) way OT, sorry What should Kristin do?.... my friend Louise wants me to take over her yoga class for her Mons, Weds, and Fridays. a couple of problems to go along with this so I've made myself a little pro and con list. PRO: -I enjoy yoga and would be doing it anyway -would be another job, so extra much-needed money -can make my own schedule, so don't have to change anything at work now. Con: -I haven't had the time to practice lately, so bit of a problem -Haven't been to an actual class in 2 years so not sure what to do -probably run out of things to do pretty quickly. list goes on, but it stays pretty even and I can't think of them right now. I really do want to teach the class and it is in my town, which is a plus, but I haven't been to a class in so long that I really don't think I'd remember what to do or enough to keep it fresh. I can do the same thing over and over again in my own practice and it won't bother anyone, but not so much there. so, again, what should Kristin do?..... feel free to share, even if it's an eeny meeny miny mo kind of thing. thanks so much oh yeah.... and thanks so much for the story Reg, it's been so long! I can't wait till you put it up

hey guys, quick question for you all. Does anyone have the clips with scotty? I checked back a few pages and couldn't find them. but they would be expired anyway. I also couldn't get the hus, Deb. I don't know where that is. I got clips from the 15th, but that was all I saw.

Hey guys, thanks so much for the chat!! Had a great time, even if it was only for a little while. I haven't been on in a while, I've missed it! To anyone who showed up later on, sorry I missed you. Still looking for name suggestions if anyone has any. Otherwise, (a little heads up) TracyLuv and I decided I'm just going to have to use all our names.

thanks Ms Q!! I'm in the breakroom in anyone is around... but I can't stay too long if no one comes.

That sounds really interesting! I'm not at all creative when it comes to art, though I have the skill. More creative with writing. I have been drawing since I can remember, though I only started portraits a few years back. I started painting around that time as well. I was an art major, so aside from doing it as a hobby, I did do it for class work. I hate the idea of it as a career, so now it's more of a hobby, though I am doing portrait work on the side to get some extra cash. I don't remember if you were on here at that point but I posted one of JE that I did for MF to use as the covor of the fanzine she made, don't know if you saw it. Good luck with your picture... let me know how it turns out. As for the kids thing... I think you may be safe since you have boys, or at least it will be a different kind of ting. We have all 5 girls at my house. the only men are my dad and my dog (don't feel bad for him, he wanted girls... the dog got screwed though). The fighting's been going ona long time here b/c there seems to always be a teenager. am definately the most laid back of the bunch, not too much bothers me and I roll with the punches... unless I'm with my family, then all bets are off! Someone always takes something the wrong way and it will start a fight, then there is the youngest who does everything she can to get under my skin, really just because I was gone at school so now that I'm home she does what she can for attention, but come on, she gets plenty. #'s 1and 3, then 2 and 4 used to be the like ones, so i got along great with the third one. Now it is getting more and more like the second one and I am getting phased out. It sucks beyond words to be the oldest. Eventually you end up more like their mother and less like their sister and none of them hang out with you anymore *bursts into Don't Cry For Me Argentina... seems to fit* it just sucks all around. I love having a big family, but more often than not I want to get myself addotped and be rid of the whole lot at once. ok, I think that's enough venting for Kristin today

Good for you Hooked! Glad you got it all done. I'll probably be around for a chat later. It's been so long so I hope I can. I'm sitting here in the pitch black of my room b/c i my light blew out (too lazy to change it myself), which I am taking as I sign that I don't need to draw today. Got in a fight with my sisters a while ago, so I am pissed off and don't want to go back downstirs. I'm staying up here and getting some work done till I cool off. I'm actually pretty cool right now, but it won't take much to start something again, so I'm keeping my distance. I don't even know what we were fighting about but b/c I'm the oldest I should know better and be "the example" (even if they are old enough to know on their own, my sisters are 12, 16, and 20!!) and therefore, I am the b-tch with the attitude, never the other ones. Warning Parents: stop doing this to your kids! I know it's inevidable, but try b/c it sucks for us. anyway. I'll take the hint from my broken lights and be writing a little more. I check in in a while to see if anyone is one. (woohoo, page 43!!... still no decision on the names, though)

just since it's been a fairly TQ free weekend i just wanted to say... Team Tracy all the way!!! Woot!!!! now who's on board? We're a very accepting team and we're not at all annoyingly perky. sign ups are on the door as you leave...

thanks so much for getting right on that!!! I actually was thinking of names like those. I decided against somethign like francesca b/c with a french daddy, it doesn't work with any last name (why my name in real life is kristin and not giovanna or alessandra), but i liked the others a lot. I have alessanrda as one of the otheer characters and i think she using Lexie or something along those lines as a nickname, so Alexia might be out too. But thanks again. It's a BIG help

I'm pretty ecstatic I'm getting this done. I have to take a break soon to get some more drawing done, but I don't want to. I only have to do the general set up so I can take it into work tomorrow and see if she likes it that way, so I can still change it before it's too late, but I'd rather being writing now. The downside to my 1-track mind is that i tend to get on a roll and go without eating for a while and definately without sleeping so I can get it done. That's a bad thing (no kidding) from what I've been told... but I choose to ignore that. I loved that video, i thought i was fun, so thanks for posting it!

I'll give you as quick a description as I can, otherwise I'll be writing on here forever. This is everything I thought of when I was devloping all her backstory before I started the actual story. (I don't have as much for him, but oh well) They went to school together in a small town in CT. They bothed moved away but he's been back for about 15 years b/c he bought a restaurant. She hasn't been back since. She comes to visit her family and everything, but she hasn't lived ther. She has just moved back, however (not sure why yet). She lived all over the world. She was a teacher, was married and had 2 boys. Her husband died when her kids were yound, he was sick, so after her kids grew up, she quite her job, started writing and has been traveling ever since. She is opinionated and says what's on her mind (was the town !@#$%^&*] when she was in school. she was never really mean, but got the rep b/c she said what she wanted to, regardless of the consequences). Aside from that, she is classy and well mannered. She's very close to her family, adores her parents. She is artistic, but it's become the secret talent, she doesn't share it at all. She's intelligent and interested in everything, passionate about everything she cares about. She's fickle and gets bored with people very easily, but she is still loyal. She doesn't miss anyone that's not family, so she can pack up and leave when she wants to, and usually does. She's not an emotional person at all. Hate's compliments, loves arguing and confrontation (finds it stimulating and kind of fun). Has low tolerence for bullshit, doesn't know or care what people think about her. Italian mom, french dad (just incase it has any baring on the name suggestions) I now that was kind of long, but I gave you everything i could think of. He's single (a bachelor). He's a nice guy, but he doesn't put up with her crap. He will hold his own and give her a run for her money, which she likes. He is loyal. Impeccible manners and he is very respectful. Told you I don't hava a lot for him yet. His is kind of coming as i write. they are both in their early fifties (I wanted characters that had already had a life) nothing in the story is true, but I took some characteristics from my family and people i know, so I didn't want to name them after them, but I've already used my sisters (amanda, brittany, and danielle), i have gianna, alessanrda, and angelina. John, Joe. I'll take names from my dad's older family for the french side, but I can't come up with these two. Anyway, thanks os much for the help. I know this way a lot to put on here.

Hey MinervaFan, I'm thinking decaf would be a good call!! But I'm glad everything's ok. I'm sure it was the mixture of all the symptoms (effects from the the virus, the panic attack, and the caffiene) at once that had you going a little crazy. Sorry you had to go through all that. Guys, I have a favor to ask. It's a pretty stupid one and something I should easily be able to take care of, but can't seem to. I am more than 30 pages and 5 chapters onto my story right now and i still haven't decided on names for my main characters. I can't think of anything I like, so up till now it's been he and she everytime I need something there. I can't go much further b/c I won't be able to go back and correct it all if I do, so I thought I'd come one and look for some suggestions. I have names for everyone else, but I need something for the main male and female. Thanks so much if you can help at all.

I'll let you know if they are any good when I get them in. He should also have written all the dates on the cases for me, so I can let you know all of them if you want the same ones. The only ones I am not sure of right now are a few from 90 or 91. He'll ahve them for me, so I'll let you know when I get it. It sounds like I did a lot of work to find out the dates, but it actaully didn't take long at all. It was just a lot to write down for you. I'll check again and find the link for the old epis when I get a chance. oh yeah, and he'd definately still have them all for you. He copies the ones he's already got on file when you give him the dates you want, so as long as he had them to begin with he'd have it all for you.

I was looking like crazy for the dates or transcripts of classic GH episodes one day so i could find which ones I wanted and i found a site about the scorpios. I thinks it's called scorpiofiles. It has recaps of the stories from the 80's till now, you just have to click on the year. I did the ctrl F to find Tracy on those pages and saw which ones looked interesting. Those were the ones I found on the site b/c they only had days that included the scorpios, obviously. That's why I was looking for some good old scenes withher and scott or Larry, or anyone really. It gives you the dates and when you go to the site for the tapes, you can also search in the classic section. i don't remember what it is listed under, but I think he just has them by 80's 90's (and earlier than that are all together). Those episodes gives a short recap by each tape listing. The only thing with that is that he has them with a few to a tape so it doesn't say which story is on which date. I asked him and he got it all set for me as long as I had the right tape for him. any other questions and I'll let you know later on. I have the dates for most of them if you're looking to get them if I can't get them up here. Mr. Q and Lady... sorry about the impatience. I was actually just kind of curious. I wasn't sure if they were going to be posted at some point or if they were just being mentioned b/c Lady was editing them. That's why I was asking... that and I'm goign through some serious withdrawals right now. i shouldn't be b/c we just had a lot of her on the show, but i think it made it worse. It's like I went long enough without her to almost kick the habit and then someone waved her in my face and I'm looking for a fix anywhere I can get it. Just got finished finally burning all my clips and videos onto disks (with the exception of the ones that say something about how it can't syncronize... but, oh well! I finished anyway. Plugging away at the writing. I'm getting plenty done. Still not very far, but I am getting it done, and consistantly doing it, so that helps. If anyone is on later when I'm here hopefully we can chat!! ps. Ms. Q, Lulu and Alan were down in the lobby b/c Lulu went to gve the PDA to Spinelli and Alan followed her down there. She had already stolen it and they wanted Spinelli to hack into it and see what he could find I think. Don't know how much I'll be on next week. My aunt and uncle are coming in from LA. These are the ones I lived with. They are bringing my cousins. Woohoo, Los Accidentes together again!!! i know no one gets that, but that fine with me, I'm just psyched they're coming!!! edit: it's 9:30 and I don't think anyone's around yet. I'll be writing for a bit, waiting to see if anyone stops in. If not, sorry I missed you and I'll talk to you all another time. sorry guys, it's 10:10 and no one has been around yet. I'll check in one more time, but I'm gonna have to go. I've been writing (yippee) and haven't shut my computer down since before noon, so my parents are going to have my head. I'll talk to you all soon. Sorry I missed you.

I though she was loading her clips, too, that's why I was asking. I knew you said you didn't know if you coud get them up b/c they were dvd edits, sorry about that. I got dvds with the whole episodes, so I'd have to figure out how to get them on here and edit it if I can. I don't have anything with LA, but I have some with Paul. I have some when they were dating, when he proposes, their wedding day, one day when she is trying to seduce him for some reason (don't know if she does or not), one when she is worried about their age difference... looked kind of funny (I think that was before she tries to seduce him). Then I have some with her and Scotty when they just started dating or sleeping together, one when they are tormenting Lucy, they fight and make up. One when she is drunk and talking to the portriat of Edward. And then I have the one when Larry proposes (but that's all with him. I have when she is kicked out of the house in 93, when she comes back in 96 and one when Robert and Bill Eckert show up at her engagement party drunk. The last one I have is when she knocks out some guy called Edge, but I don't remember who he is, I'm sure I will if I see him, but I was young. I think that's all I have, but I'n not sure till i get them in. If there was room left on the disks, I also have the Knots Landings she was on, but not sure. Here's the link, by the way. Sorry it's taken me so long to get it up to you. http://members.tripod.com/~EldonR/ghtapesmain.html edit: ps, I thnk if you put a disk into you computer (don't need to play it) you can load it into sendspace. I'm going to try it later if i get a chance. Mine might take forever b/c none of the files are separated, but you should be able to load a file the same way you would any other. Go to the "look in" box when you click on browse. Then you should be able to go to the cd drive and load from your disk that way. But I can't be sure b/c I've never done it, so sorry if it doesn't work, but I think it should

Hey MS. Q I couldn't get it to work. All that happened was it typed an S over what I highlighted. Oh well, it's a cool trick anyway, even if I can't get it to work. All you guys with the old clips... (speaking of which. I checked on it, mine were mailed yesterday, so barring any hold up from snow, not likely, I'll get mine this week) when are you guys going to start posting cuz I can't ake hearing about them if I can't watch them too, it's a tease!!! Just kidding, though I do want to see them if you all get a chance.

I think she'll get her chance for that. She hasn't accepted that he might die yet, when she knows it's coming and she sees him again I think it'll happen. I think it was perfectthe way it was... except for the fact that it was too short, like always.

MF, I didn't know that the hug was on V-Day either. It does make me very happy, not that it takes much as long as JE is included, but still. It made my holiday (that sounds sadder than it really is, but I'm not a valentine's kind of girl, plus I'm single so it's like any other day for me) and just wanted to say again... love the avatar. it's a great picture, she looks adorable... and I, of course, adore her in every way!

I definately wasn't worried about losing Tracy, at least not for a while, they just renewed her contract!!!!! OT: You're right about the kids though. I know what you mean, it drives you nuts no matter how bad you feel for them. What drives me crazy is that he only stops crying if I am with him b/c I had him his first day, but I have the older kids so he isn't supposed to be there. He breaks into my room or runs around the whole building looking for me and I can't keep him in his class. My bosses don't mind if he stays with me, ubt the woman in charge at the end of the day yells about it b/c he isn't supposed to be there, so I get in trouble b/c his teacher can't keep him in his room and I can't get him out of mine. Otherwise, I don't mind and I do feel bad for him. Especially since he hasn't even gotten used to it and he's there from open till close. Anyhoo, I'll be on later to chat if i can, but right now I'm taking a bit of a break to watch Grey's and then I'm back up to write some more. If anyone is on I'll stop in ofr a chat. night all PS, love the new avatar, Ms. Q!!

Haven't read it yet, but if it's as good as your other stories than God bless antibiotics!!! I really hope you're feeling better soon. Just went through all of it myself. I hadn't been sick in a long time and I usually don't get sick this badly. I'd forgotten how much of a drag it is. Anyway, feel better. Can't wait to read it. I'm back to writing my story today. I had such a long break when i was sick I'd forgotten all about it until today... well, not really, but I never had a chance to write anything. I'm back and good as new, so I'm getting some work done. I have some portraits to start over the weekend (argh!!) so good thing we didn't have Quartermaines today b/c I'd never be able to stay focused if we did. I'd be up chatting forever. Hopefully someone will be on tonight, but if not, I'll talk to you all later. I have to say, as much as I liked the scenes this week (and I'm not just saying this b/c I love JE/TQ), they should have added something. They could have stretched it if just for the fact that it would have ended today. Alan's waking up at the end of yesterday's episode would have beena perfect cliffhanger for the weekend. Then again, I'm gonna cross on over to the sunny side of the street... they could have ended it sooner. ... and there is my optomism for the day. A little lacks, I know, but that's what I have for now. I'm sure I'll be more upbeat once I've had a few minutes home after all the crying today (the new little boy at work still hasn't let up) and I have gotten to get some work done (it's really starting to get fun, good thing I have a one track mind or I'd never get this done) all right, have a great weekend everyone. and thanks so much for the update again, MF
