Yeah, right. However you explain it to yourself Ang. I will say the two
do seem an apt pairing as they both seem convinced of their radical
innocence in the matter and will virtually believe any story they can
cook up to rationalize it.

What does/did people see in Diana?? She was no more than an average school
teacher who married a prince. Show your devotion to your doctors, teachers,
fireman, policeman, parents, and others who actually make a difference in
life.

I LOVE Phyllis...in fact when I was a kid I used to imitate her and my
friends called me "Phyllis"...

Okay, kids, here is a question:

How did the rumour get started that SUSAN LUCCI is her daughter...???

Well, the fans of NCIS at Yahoo groups are very sad at the news,
recently posted by Harriet the producer's assistant. So many of us
would like to offer condolences to Michael's family. We all found his
character charming and really enjoyed his recent performances on NCIS
and were looking to see more of his romance with Abby. In fact, the
recent episode of NCIS in which he appeared (Smoked) was number 3
overall and number 1 for CBS that week I believe. I'm sorry he won't be
around to read all the wonderful things fans have been posting about
him since his appearance, but hopefully someone will save them for his
family.

So she understands the anonymous part, but has failed to get the part
where she's supposed to be committed to not drinking. Apparently,
she's not getting a lot out of the meetings.

God, I hope they keep his character. Its one of the few on this show
you can embrace unreservedly. The lead is, of course, somewhat
compromised and his sister is just annoying. The girlfriend needs a
swfit kick in the pants. Doakes is just a dick. Go Batista!

OK, now tell us how (with bad signage and no warnings) YOU would
know not to take that road.

You're accusing them of taking a risk. How would they have known it
was a risk?

You can save lives in this identical situation. Tell us how.
