Happy birthday, Bobubas. Hope you are having a great day!

Bette 

Oh I would never forget you!!  Yours are on the way too, hee hee.  Lots of 'em.    (And ProfStokes'.  And Vlad's.  And...)

Thanks a bunch, Midnite. I just got home from work, picked up my mail, and there they were!

Bette

Happy Birthday Gothick!

Hope your day has been wonderful.

I'm sure that if Grayson were with us, she would lift a glass in your honor!

I was wondering if there had been a cut as well. I found it odd that we never got to see Barnabas try to explain to Roger that Julia was not going to be able to help find Elizabeth, who was missing from Windcliff/Windclift/Wincliff/Winclift - somebody help me here.

I don't know if the scene was ever there, but I was so eager to see how Barn was going to explain it that I noticed it never happened. I was anticipating Roger's incredulous response.

Does anyone know if the scene were ever there to begin with?

Nope, that scene was never there, so we'll never know what excuse Barn gave to Roger. Sounds like a good scene for fanfiction (on other Boards/Lists of course)

I would also add that I've been having this problem for at least a week now.  I wonder if there are people trying to get onto the system who think it is unavailable?   

Joe,

That started happening to me after the Board went down a little over a week ago.  I kept getting that off line message and did not know the Board was actually back online until I decided to try the "reload/refresh" button, and voila, I was back in business. I'm sure that MB can explain that it has something to do with your cache. So now, whenever that happens, I know what button to hit to get the Board back.

I'm Quentin! 

I can live with that.

Well, Midnite and I had a wonderful evening last night at LACMA watching Grayson in Qui Etes Vous, Polly Maggoo. I had seen this before without the subtitles and believe me, they definitely are needed to appreciate this film. It was strange, funny and Grayson was wonderful. The opening shots of the metallic fashion show and the doyenne (spelling?) of fashion, Grayson, er, Miss Maxwell, granting her approval were hilarious.

Thanks, Steve, for your info on this film. I certainly could picture Ruth Gordon playing the part, especially Grayson's first scenes. 

There was also a small exhibit at the Museum called "A Century of Fashion" which we took in before the movie. Only three examples from the 1960's, but one bright orange pantsuit with white patent leather boots I could just picture Carolyn wearing.

Thanks, Midnite, for helping to make the whole evening enjoyable.

I totally agree with you, J99. I have always liked this scene, because it does show that both Barnabas and Julia are aware of what Julia has given up for Barnabas. Maybe she could have returned to her former life at this point in the story. I also like the fact that Barnabas doesn't want her to waste Cassangelique only because of what will happen to Julia if she does. Once she seems determined to do something Barnabas shifts into protect Julia mode and starts questioning Roger about who else may have seen the witch. Love the eye contact between B and J. They both speak volumes with their eyes.
