Ugh... who changed this look? Me no likey. I'm not a fan of orange (too many bad 70's memories); I'm a water, blue/pink chick - like they used to have. This was brutal first thing this morning. So my kids DON'T have camp for the first time in over a month. Strange Monday for me. But Zion (the mathematician/engineer) is counting down the days to allowance day. I don't get "Good morning, Mommy", I get "two more days to allowance day". I'd complain except in the back of my mind I know that means "three more days to Tracy day". We've all got to have our thing . Hooked, I was thinking the same thing about Floyd, nurse #2 and Coleman when I saw him dancing. Why are these extras/recurring getting so much facetime and Tracy is not. How can they NOT have a story for Tracy Quartermaine? They could have her in the thick of everything. No imagination at all. It's disgusting. Seriously, who do I have to speak with there to get a job as story consultant 'cause they obviously need help. Again my question.... WHY bring her back for this? We are missing TQ anyway, wouldn't it be nicer to miss her knowing she was away with Luke somewhere enjoying life?

I have just has a pivotal growth experience: I just purchases teeny bop songs for the Diva from iTunes. Now she is sitting dutifully listening to music on the CD player, singing along. When did my little baby girl become an almost-teen. I don't know if I'm ready for this... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I come begging forgiveness. I should have known your encyclopedic brain had these recorded and filed. I didn't realize the sources. I bow down to your higher knowledge on this subject.

I always find he looks constipated when Luke looks at Laura. Not natural like LuNacy, that's for sure. As for the other stuff, I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist just yet. Lets see how Thursday plays out. Kin S. was pretty hostile at his event, according to those there, so who knows what he actually said and how it was interpreted. As for the other spoilers, we have no way of knowing how many of them were true in the first place. That does seem like an awfully large number of Tracy-drops for a show that has next to no interest in their vets. Why start something then drop it? That would just be idiotic and Guza isn't that - misdirected to be sure, but not idiotic. Lainey... I'm channeling a bit of Cole Porter: "It's too damn hot... Mr. Adam for his madam is NOT". And to further pick up on Mancini "Maybe a break in the weather, will turn into a break for you..." I just can't sit in this airless room and write. Sorry. In totally unrelated news, the Diva started her schoolwork tonight without a single fight, and I now have lovely CDs of Treasure Island, The Secret Garden and the tales of Beatrix Potter all for free!!! AND I've got about half of my Guide paperwork up to date. EDIT I tried Ms.Q, but you're virtually unreal. Off to another cool shower than park my semi-clad self under a fan. Night.

Sounds like a plan, TL, and Hooked - I like that scenario. LuNacy to the end.... that's the game plan!!! Oh... Lainey.... I do remember you. You're the one who is rather demanding but rather reserved, n'est pas? (My inner b!tch is an outie today... might be able to channel Tracy and get those fics written... we'll see.)

Morning all... Well, the Diva is home and all it good. She had a fabulous time and her guiders send home a note that said she was simply delightful all week. That's my girl! Shiloh woke up when she returned and immediately said "Ruah!" then jumped out of bed to hug her.... I love my kids. Nice to see the information about LuNacy through the fall. I suspected as much but in the face of the huge LnL wheel, sometimes you feel like you're going to be crushed. I imagine LuNacy will be together a lot long than that, and now I'm really hoping that there is a confrontation scene where ewcbo finds out she was lied to. I still think it's significant that they only one in Nov. 2006 that knew the truth was Tracy. TG couldn't have dictated that much, and the entire month was about his committment to our girl while going through the motions to give memories to ewcbo and her kids. I just wish we didn't have to wait for TG's return to see more of JE.

The Diva will be home shortly so I'm off and away. Nothing new about ewcbo, same old spinning of wheels and spinning about how great it is she's returning. People seem to forget the 'limited' part. Chat with you tomorrow - and Lainey, still haven't forgotten, my mind just isn't there right now Nite all

University of South Florida

(damn, they only allow 10 smilies, otherwise I would be laughing through the rest of my post - and I had to remove yours.) Opinionated much? (Them, not you Nex) Notice how they always harken back to that wedding? Not the Ice Princes, not the Left Handed Boy, not the Charles Street years, just that one day and the number before and after didn't even come close. Wow, there really isn't much to say about her is there.... no wonder TG says he has a love/hate relationship with that stat. And 'uber-wicked'? I only HOPE Tracy gets 'uber-wicked' on her ass..... (I take it this wasn't the response you were looking for, Nex.)

Just spoke with the Diva and she's on her way home. Apparently they had a bit of a flood - they were all in tents all week. She sounds chipper and full of stories - in otherwords her usual self. It will be good to have everyone together again, and Shiloh is so lost without her. She's been camping 4 weeks straight now. As for the ewcbo, the latest round is that many kicked up such a fuss that it was only going to be GF/JMB that they are quickly changing the writing so she will interact with her family, most especially Luke. This might give credence to the rumours that she finds out about his marriage. I'm actually hoping that one it true. Luke has constantly rededicated himself to Tracy, but it's funny the number of people who still believe she will be dropped like a hot potato when ewcbo 'awakens'. TG has said he doesn't like revisiting the past, so we'll see who has what drag in this. At any rate JE will have material and that's the bottom line for all of us. Some of their best stuff is A: never spoiled, and B: emotionally difficult situations. September might actually be good. And then there's the possibility that this is complete crap and she's only on for 2 days as first reported - then we don't have to deal with the ewcbo at all... win/win, I'm thinking!

That has more credibility than the rumour de jour. I think it's wishful thinking - esp. the 'reunion' part. There are many way to 'reunite' and only one is to permanently run off into the sunset. There are still some LnL diehards who still want to believe in it. The story right now, even as it's gag-worthy, is Lulu. And if GF herself says it's only a mother/daughter thing, than I'm inclined to believe that. I would love her to discover Tracy is the real Mrs. Spencer, though. Guza created LuNacy and he's obviously not inclined towards ewcbo/LnL so that's in our favour.

You'll love this, the rumour de jour is that TG is 'cutting short his vacation to return because of GF'. Don't you just love how important she is? Tomorrow I think we will discover that Venus is named after her and she's responsible for saving lives during the earthquake in China.

On the Days board, for a long time they used to talk about who had the "Salem" brain that day. I think they should have the same discussion on GH, and it sounds like Scott might have the PC brain for some time. The idiots at the PCPD can't put 2+2 and get anything more than 2. Lulu has acted suspicious from the get-go, and only Tracy so far has called it 'guilt', and she mistakenly thought it was guilt by association, not outright responsibility. Glad you're having Mommy time, Hooked. The Diva is being picked up after supper but won't arrive here until 9 or 10, so I won't get my baby girl until tomorrow really. Then we have a full week of all the kids - all the time before VBS week after next, where 3 of them are gone all day long. Downloaded Ru's first stage of history today, looks promising. The main text is actually open source now, so I can print it for free (where Amazon wants $32 for it; no brainer on that one); and I've just discovered that through iTunes I can download free ebooks. It's a project through the education department at USFlorida (or central Florida - which is it, Funny?) where they have tonnes of classics free for download and graded K-12. I just downloaded Treasure Island this afternoon, and I'm a happy chick. Free is my favourite price! Between that, the Gutenberg Project and the Bladwin Project, there are tonnes of free kids books around (the real ones like Wizard of Oz, not the Pony Club). Ms.Q... weather report. Hotter then the hubs of hell here, and humidity like you wouldn't believe. Is there relief on the way?

Well, we certainly haven't seen her at the Q-mansion, unless you count Lulu's bedroom (and I'm still pissed that Lulu gets a bedroom but Tracy doesn't.... I know, I know... it's all about the sex...)

Outstanding. You are truly in a rank of your own, Hooked. Now I know which days the kids get cartoons next week. Important things, these 'toons.

real life, sweetheart, real life.... I haven't forgotten.

Waaaaa, I can't get them to open..... stupid 'puter...

Sooooo glad you found that, Hooked. What a great article!

Morning all, I'll bump the thread and keep the talk going today, since Hooked did such a masterful job with her various soliloquies yesterday. SD has been porn spamed again so very little is making it's way through (on top of the fact that little is making it's way through anyway - TPTB have really clamped down on leaks) From SOW, apparently the Editor is talking about the possibilities of Scott being on the front burner of the Logan story and fighting Luke/Spencers in a big fall story. I won't be pessimistic and say there's no way, because we already know TG was asked to take all his vacation at one time, which suggests they want him around in the fall - with Tracy in tow (since they can't write for her along any longer, it seems). With his contract due in January I wonder if they will finally refocus and pay more attention to what the man can/does bring to the screen, including JE. There are hints that Tracy will be around in the next few weeks, but nothing about dates. Frustration abounds! La, la, la.... Painted the kid's dressing room (read large closet) this afternoon. I'm discovered painting really hurts my hands. Not good considering how much I have to do. But it turned out lovely... Off to see what trouble I can cause. I've seen a few of you check in today but nothing is really going on. No word on Tracy, in fact SD is practically useless considering the spaming. We need some blog action, and I haven't forgotten The Annals - r/l has just been getting in the way. La, la, la.... Enjoy your lives and we'll chat later. Hooked, Sorry I couldn't be around last evening - his nibs took over the computer so I went to bed!

Okay, it's almost to the point of being ridiculous, but I want to sit down to tea with this woman! Oh, the things we could discuss. A teacher, no less!!!

Okay, it's been a couple of weeks since I asked this quesiton.... WHY DID TPTB BRING TRACY HOME EARLY? SHE SHOULD BE WITH LUKE RIGHT NOW!!! His nibs wants the computer, so I'm going to sign off here, but a couple of low-ballers in the side pocket at SOC then head to bed. Lainey... something tells me I owe you something, but I can't remember what.... remind me?

Tracy is a topic on SOC - and how badly the Shrew treats her (and her wardrobe): Roll Call: Who else things Tracy should throw the Shrew out? What was Tracy wearing? Sick to death of Lulu's attitute towards Tracy ShrewLu shut up... Hell no.... Lulu is rude EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.... Tracy's on Get 'em while they're hot, 'cause you know most of these will be merged within the next hour or two.

Not funny and.... hear me 'cause I don't say this often.... Her hair was flat and awful, and she had that ugly, flowy blue shirt on that makes her look figureless.

And the second scene (again, not sure which one) Tracy tries to be comforting telling Lulu that she's not to blame for any of this, that she knows Lulu feels guilty for putting both Logan and Johnny in this situation but Logan's death is not her fault. Lulu reiterates that Johnny didn't do it, to which Tracy points out that he has friends in this town that will get him off and his family isn't without resources. Tracy wants Lulu to rest and she'll have a tray sent up. Lulu says she really appreciates what Tracy is trying to do - she really does - but she just wants to be alone to think things through. Tracy asks what she has to think through and Lulu yells at Tracy to leave her alone. Tracy turns and walks out the door. That's all, folks.

Gee, I forget how this is done... Spixie Sex: less than 1 minute, over by 10 past Skate/Carjax dominating as usual Johnny arrested by Logan by 15 past. Robin hiding pregnancy from Eli. Thoughts thus far: No TQ but I'm still waiting, show is dumber than my kids' cartoons, we gotta get changes at the top! I'll be back.. Z's just told Lulu to take a hike, she'd 'done enough damage' Spin is going to hurt when he lands from his trip to 'Nirvana' - Maxie couldn't get out of there fast enough, and the Borg looked almost amused Diane alert, Lainey - basically told Carly the press is sharing rumours of Kate/Jax affair Still no TQ Back in a bit... TRACY!!!! Lulu throws herself down on her bed and then there is a knock on the door. A second knock and then a third followed by Tracy entering. She tells Lulu she's worried about her after what happened to Logan. Lulu tells her Johnny has been arrested for Logan's murder. Tracy says she knew something like this was going to happen. Lulu gets angry at her and says 'Don't you say one more word or I am out of this house. Johnny didn't do it and I know that..." Lulu looks up at her to emphasize the threat and Tracy just looks at her knowingly. (and I forgot to count which segment. Sorry Nex, but was 3:35, if that helps) CONTINUED BELOW...
