not having ANY of that. i know tracy is capable of all of having compassion (though hidden from most) for the most unlikely character, as we've seen. but I don't like this one bit unless it means she is going to end up with a friend on team tracy when all is said and done. if this is a more permanent pairing I'm not happy. This is how they started out with making LnTr love each other. it was her having compassion over situatiosn with lulu or laura or whatever. I agree with TG if they are really going to be doing this whole reinvention thing for luke. You can't reinvent the wheel, especially after said wheel has been a HIT for decades. you want to rework a story in bits and pieces it can be done but you can't can't CAN"T change his whole personality. plus, do the writers realize if they change all this about him it'll change what made it work with all past stories. i will never stop holding out hope for luke and tracy combos, but I am a hardcore tracy lover as well, so if she has good stories I am a happy girl, just slightly less happy than I would be with luke and tracy. This thing with little oneliners doesn't cut it. can't just drop her in everyone else's scene just b/c she is screen gold ORRRR a smarter thing for them to realise is that if they are doing that b/c she IS screen gold wouldn't she be just as golden with her own story!!?? I was thinking about it the other day when I was watching an past scene- how they have been making her seem just a little out of character with luke toward the end b/c she was having and acting less fun and comedic and full of life. she made me sad for her, and usually i love that b/c no one does touching like JE, but I wanted some more of the old tracy back. they need a happy medium. Then I realized it was kind of like the old Tracy. we just need her to throw her weight around and pull a "tracy" to get what she wants, but historically she has acted kind of like this with men she loves. She is always very hurt (look at Paul) and sad and a little desperate. This is the only time besides maybe larry ashton that one of them actually loved her too so it's a totally new situation. i think that's why she's willing to give up, b/c 1st she never fully believes it is for real, or at least that he cares as much as she does, and 2nd b/c she doesn't want to hurt as much as she does... so sad for her analysis over. now I'm watching todays epi though I haven't seen our girl yet so we'll see how this goes

that's actually what I downloaded to convert all my files, but a0 it was taking forever and b0 i guess i didn't need to do that anyway. once i saved it as one file I had to save it to the actual burning program to make it into a movie instead of just the mixed files all put together like I had it. and I don't mind it being us... as long as it's not just me talking to myself for about 30 posts.. if I wanted that I'd actually use one of the thousand diaries I had... lol, jk i am kind of impressed at the sweeps (now hear me out b/c they tend for fall short in my eyes with all the build up sweeps get). This is the first time I can rememeber where they are not all locked in 1 room for the whole of the sweeps season!! they started that way, and really it was only a few at that, and now everyone has spread out, at the hospital, that hotel, th party at alexis'... I am waiting to see how everything is going to be put together. I still would have liked a huge scare for tracy so luke can come and save her and get her back, but then again- I'm just sappy enough to want that right away, and I don't think I'd want tracy to give up just b/c he played hero so I can let that slide. but we all have our ideas on how it'll play out and usually the fans aren't that far off, but i'm still curious b/c it IS so fragmented so far. I sort of like it as opposed to the sitting duck scenario that always happens so what's new hooked? how's the school situation going? any decisions yet? I didn't really your son is my sister's age. my sis has fantastic grades and she's field hockey captain and a greta player so she got into her top and only choice pretty quickly, but she is the biggest stress case I have ever seen, second only to one of my other sister's (who is getting married in september and is surprisingly NOT stressed about the details with that) so I'm glad it worked out that way!

nevermind... my brilliant self figured it out and i am busy "dvd burning" away. i have more than a full days worth of clips so it may take a while but i'm 7 deep right now. i have about 10 to go. no one's been on so i'm just commenting about nothing in particular i guess.... talk to you all once tracy gets back i guess. i have to say, I was disapointed in last week. I know it wouldn't happen but I would have liked to see some nice gesture from luke to tracy for v-day. oh well!! wishful thinging

oops- I think they are actually ALL saved as a wlmp and not mp4. still can't figure out how to burn them though if anyone can help

so I have yet another question for everyone... and by everyone I mean those of you who know how to burn a dvd that you have made. I have burned copies of things that i have and the regular old normal burning but I FINALLY got all my clips put together in a collection (I mean some serious clippage, and a lot of old' school really god clips too). i saved them all on files that are 1.5 hours long. don't know why i can't get it longer than that but that's what it told me but now they won't let me burn. it says it can't even find the files. they are saved as wlmp files b/c that s what the program does but I can't save them any other way. anyone know how I can convert the whole lot of them into something compatable? I have windows dvd maker and have them saved as mp4 b/c thats all that would play- now i can't burn an mp4 b/c nothing else will find them!!!! craziness i tell you

good for him!!! congrats!

love you hooked!!!! I'm telling you - complete withdrawals!! but I've dicovered how to use the movie maker on my dvd burner so I have been piecing together countless clips to make myself some better things to watch than my little laptop screen laying on my floor. i'm an addict now, i'm having way too much fun, those clips ar definately going in

oops! i meant no one, obviously, but i had to correct that b/c it was a little too boneheaded to leave

gonna go out on a lim an bet that know one does- but does anyone know around what time scotty and tracy were dating or was it more than once? I was looking for the clipi when she surprises him at his apartment- someone had put it up here once, but I can't find it and I don't want to look back that far. i know there is a whole big story in 1990 of when they hooked up to mess with lucy but I don't know if this was before or after or a seperate time entirely b/c it doesn't seem to be in any of the clips I can find. there is a clip of every bit of that story about 100 of them and they seem to be pretty well broken up by about clip 30-40. just curious

remos- this is exactly why I am searching high and low for the FABULOUS scenes we know and love.... (see above... but ignore carly and jax on the picture). it's exactly why I fell in love with these two

just a little refresher for those of us who are going through withdrawals.... this is what happens when I get obsessed, I start finding the clips again. they are full epis though one of the best!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5wprc-8tk&feature=related night all

oh that sucks!! thanks anyway. i'll just have to look around. wish a had a burner then!

good for you!! glad you found something you enjoy like that! just to piggyback off of the last mention of it- I finally found the disk that actually has my story on it. I swear to god I wanted to cry when I couldn't find it. it was soo much work down the drain. turns out it was juts hidden on a differewnt disk that i came across. still have a lot of editing to do b/c when I was going through it again after I had initially taken a lot of things out it seems too short for a book now. I'll have to just develope the relationships with the supporting characters now that I have room to do it. Can't WAIT to get writing again. on another note- where are all my old folks??! has everyone jumped ship? I have only seen hoked, ms q, and remos but someone else has to be here that i recognize. does anyone still write on here? tg/je stories or otherwise? sorry to keep asking all these annoying questions. I've just been out of the loop for too long. And ms q- I'm guessing that you don't but is there any glimmer of a chance that you still have that webpage up with all the tracy scenes for the last few years that you had a while back. I am still trying to track down everything I can so I can burn a few disks, but I can't find anything i am looking for on youtube. they are all the new scenes but very few of the old ones that i am looking for. talk to you all later!

" KNH I don't know for sure but I don't think anyone has chatted or been in the breakroom in a couple of years. I would love to help you out, but it will have to be in the spring. I'm working now and I'm also in the middle of scholarship applications for college for my son and college trips etrc. Hopefully after March things might calm down a little." I completely for got your kids are getting that old!! good luck with all of that. What are you doing for work now? this is certainly new since the last time we spoke, but it's been a few months since i last facebooked you no worries anyway- take your time. if you are able to do it let me know when you have the time, if not I will get it somewhere else. no big deal

Hooked- favor to ask you? I am getting in gear to really start doing something with my book, even if it's only self publishing. I had been on that kick for a while and then so many things came up that it got kind of backburnered.... would you be willing to reread it, with all the edits and add ins, and see what you think? you don't need to go nuts and edit more for me, just wanted your opinion. I was sooo bummed. I had a few versions saved, with and without the additions, on my old computer. my laptop I got last year doesn't have a floppy disk drive b/c I FINALLY updated from my 2002 computer so I hd to email all the files to myself. I did that and then had to burn them onto a cd b/c, like I said, I don't have a disk drive.... i just went to open it on the cd- which I did test out btw before I actually deleted any files on the computer itself... and nothing was there!!!!!! kinda wanted to cry. I ad to search the archives in my email in the attachment folder and I found all emails that at one point had any part of this story attached to it. I have a few now that I need to go through and find which one it was that i need. But I have caught up with the rest of the world and I have them all saved on an external harddrive.... yup- I've caught up folks. Can't believe I hadn't done that yet- I am the generation that is ALL about computers, what gene did I miss out on? Thanks so much if you can!!!!! if not not worries- miss taking to you, by the way- it's been way too long xoxo night everyone just checked the breakroom but no one's around tonight

i just keep imagining what the stories would have been like if RC came around a few years ago. I'll admit- I loved the whole alan death story but ONLY b/c it brought us some fantastic scenes with the fam and especially JE- but if someone was writing who actually LOVED veterans and wants them at the forefront (b/c he's smart enough to know that they are the story, not these quick little 2 day story archs for the teenibopper set) and is crazy about JE's work, not to mention TG... what we'd have gotten and would be getting righht now! I guess i'll just have to wait for it, but I do like how it sounds. I just hop ethey aren't talking a big game and then fall seriously short

for the record, my mother's guess is that Luke fixed it so that Game Runna isn't really a priest... old story but still works I guess. This way anthony and tracy BOTH think it's legit, but I don't know. i'll have to see what goes on

ms q!!!!!!- hey!. I'm good. I don't rememebr if I was working at the bank when last i saw you all (can't believe it's been that long) but that's what I do now. still trying to find an "art related' job. my cousin is an art director in ny and she's hiring me on projects when they are big enough for a team... but with the economy still being what it is it's the lastthing to buiold up, so right now it's just her. oh well! i'm looking around and applying like crazy, but not much news yet. if I don't find something soon I am gonna scrap it all and finally put in my app for the peace corps. My sister is getting married in Sept so it'll wait till after that- but that's the plan right now. If I don't go now I never will b/c i'll start having nieces and nephews, I have more cousins coming in the next year or so and my other sister's will be graduating from high school and college this summer- so i'll never be able to go. otherwise- it's pretty... not going to say calm, but it's uneventful at least. glad to hear you're doing well!! any other oldies on here? where are you guys? does anyone still use the chat at night?

OMG- I can't believe this forum is back up!!!!! I am soo excited I found it. everytime I tried to find it it was down so I gave up. I need people to catch me up on all the important things if there are any. It's been a while for me. While i do believe that Luke was alcoholic i think it was just right at the end. he drank like a fish but it was never he needed a drink. Lulu, on the other hand I think is just a wierd storyline. I like what they are doing with it I think, but if they were going to do it well I think it needed a little more buildup. You can't go from no problem at all directly to 4 people in one day commenting on your drinking (all of which looked like the same glass at the same table) and then having your garbage and house full of nothing but empty bottles..... come on people! as much as I love GH they need to learn by the fact that the only other 2 soaps on the channel were dropped. They need to make stories that are worth watching. They stories themselves don't need to be believable (ie- ise princess) but the writing does. the audince isn't stupid! That all said- I am soooo unbelievably mad that they broke up luke and tracy (yes, it's been that long since I've been on here). They can do it for a short time, which seems to be the case, as long as they keep writing them scenes together, and touching, funny, dramatic Luke and Tracy scenes that we all know and love- not these little snippets where there is barely anything. I'm jonesin' for a LuNacy fix and it's not coming the way I like it.... though i do love them like crazy and trust that they will be bringing them back together- especiallhy since it keeps being hinted at. Can we just touch again on the fact that the drunk lulu story took 1 afternoon to unfold but the luke figures out a way to successfully win tracy back is taking it's sweet a$$ time!! does anyone know what happened to all the tracy/luke and classic tracy clips on youtube? I lost all of mine whenn I got a new computer. I didn't have a dvd burner so I couldn't move them all over. I wanted to start getting them again so I can burn it to a disk but I can't hardly find anything that isn't brand new.... ok- so now what's been up with everyone? how's everyone been? what's new in everyone's lives? hooked- long time no see (though i did see your hubby in the soapdigest a few months ago, he looked so different than in other pics)

I won't be on for a while so everyone have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.. and if I am not around till then, Happy Chanukah(sp?) and Merry Christmas as well.

That was the series I was talking about!!! I'm glad at least someone else saw it. I don't know what I saw it on, I think it was just a link in a youtube vid but it's coming in Dec.

ps, lainey... are you the same lainey I saw on the Venice site... I saw it b/c if HBS and I saw a fan on it named lainey... something. Just wondering. I kinda can't wait for that just cuz I want to see HBS in something other than OLTL

now don't all get mad that I've almost entirely jumped ship. it's not that, but I do find myself waiting longer and longer for anything good. I've beenw aiting for Bo and Nora to get back together since they broke up. I was young and they had been together almost as long as I'd been watching the show, or at least remember watching, so it was like my own parents breaking up. Not really, but kinda cuz I'm just crazy enough for that so I am more than psyched about this whole story. Plus I hear they are gonna rock it and they are always HOTTTT.... so yeah, if anyone's looking, they don't disappoint

yeah, pretty much. I am finishing one up right now. My sister's friend's mother had me do one of her two kids when they were little, which I finished and she loved, so now she had me do one of her niece and a clown (I hate clowns!!) when she was little. She is my age and she died last year from cancer I think. She's giving that one to her brother for x-mas I guess. I have the last few on the compt in my portfolio so I'd post them but they were too big to scan so they are bad photos. There is always a glare on them. Once I am done with them I can finally start painting some pics to sell. My mom found a few restaurants when she was on fieldtrips with her kids that said they would hang them and sell them if I got some done. Good thing I am on my vacay now. Hopefully I can get something done in the next 2 weeks! What's new with everyone

hey everyone! i know it's been a long time. I haven't had much going on besides drawing (surprise surprise) and working. Nothing to report and not a whole lot going on GH last I'd seen so I haven't had anytime to come on let alone anything to talk about. Have I missed much? Just wanted to check in and see what's going on with everyone
