Calendar Events / Announcements '06 II / Lunch at the Blue Whale
« on: August 10, 2006, 02:55:28 PM »
I haven't been around much lately.  Work takes all the life out of me.  It kind of reminds me of Barnabas sucking the life out of his victims.  Anyway, we are on vacation this week and last.  Yesterday we spent the day in Newport and we had lunch at the Black Pearl aka The Blue Whale.  My family loves the chowder there.  The day was lovely. .  We walked the Cliff Walk and saw "Collinwood" from the distance.  We didn't get a chance to walk around the grounds, we had done that many times before, we were expected for dinner at my sisters.  Anyway, I thought of all of you and had a silent toast to the DS gang with my G & T at the "Peral".

Happy Mother's Day to all those who are mothers, and those who miss there mom's

I will be spending time with my mother tomorrow at a funeral.  Thank god not hers!  It really isn't a sad one we are putting to rest an Aunt that was 95.  She is going to be buried in a country cemetary--might remind some of Eagle Hill.  It will be pouring rain of course.  Than a nice lunch.  My mother loves these things, so she is happy that the hubby and I will be able to go.  I think on Sunday the hubby is going to drive up to my daughters school to start bringing home the first of several car loads of stuff she managels to fit in a 2 by 4 room.

Be good!

Calendar Events / Announcements '03 II / Happy Christmas to all
« on: December 19, 2003, 02:12:00 PM »
I just thought I might take a moment to wish all of our "cousins" a very Merry Christmas.  The days are slipping by fast and my free time lately has been very limited.  It has been a awhile since I have watched my tapes or viewed live.  I am still in denial that Sci-fi is pulling our show.  Maybe it is a good thing that I have been so very busy.  This forum is a special place and with wonderful people who take part.

Cheers to you all!
A very Merry Christmas to you all.

Current Talk '03 II / Julia's Cape
« on: October 21, 2003, 02:58:22 AM »
I just have to say that I thing the cape Julia gets to wear in this time period is just beautiful.  In fact I think this is the nicest piece of the wardrobe she ever got to wear on the show.

Calendar Events / Announcements '03 II / Spooky World
« on: October 21, 2003, 02:50:21 AM »
I have been hearing a lot of ads for Spooky World on the radio.  I have never been and truthfully have no plans to attend.  This special attraction has been going for a number of years here in MA.  Just wondering if any of the DS actors were ever guests.
I just crack up eveytime I hear the guests this year are Mickey Rooney and Rex Trailer.  Those of a certian generation here  in N.E.  grow up watching his show on Sat. mornings.  He sang the Boomtown song on the radio and the darn thing keeps popping into my mind.  Oh ya, I did meet him once in Filenes along with Major Mudd.

Boom, Boom, Boomtown,

Birdie--now if the DS actors were there, I think I would somehow manage to fit a visit into our plans

Current Talk '03 II / In Your Face
« on: September 16, 2003, 02:55:25 AM »
I noticed this last time around, but it still gets me. Could the actors be any closer when talking or yelling in each other face.  I want to take a step back for them.  What about personal space.  Yesterday I was visiting with my cousin and she was a close talker, I just kept stepping back and yet she took a step forward.

Would someone give those "Faye" girls a new song!  Maybe Santa could put some sheet music in there stockings.

Birdie--I don't want to go to work humming "I want to dance with You"  someone might get the wrong idea!

Current Talk '03 II / Dark Shadows Green
« on: August 10, 2003, 03:40:13 PM »
It is very strange but of late I have noticed that wonderful eye blinding green being worn once again.  It seemed like every women on DS had the pleasure of wearing it at one time or another.  Last week at work I saw two women wearing suits in that "delightful" shade.  Than on the news another woman wearing it.  It is rather scary.

Birdie who will stick to her usual colors

Just thought I would ask the guestion who are the lucky ones going to the fest this year in Brooklyn, NY?

Anyone going to R.I. on the bus trip on Monday? I can't go to the fest, but there is a slim chance than I might be able to be in Newport on that Monday.

I remember being at the fest in 2001 and never meeting another person from this forum.  The monday following the fest I happened to be in Newport with family and yet miss more of the forum who were also in Newport.  I was at the Breakers while they were working the grounds of Seaview, Collinwood.  Also we were going to stop by the Black Pearl but had to by pass it that time.  Another place our gang happen to visit.

Strange, isn't it.

Current Talk '03 II / Visting "Collinsport"
« on: August 03, 2003, 03:18:41 PM »
Yesterday I went on an adventure with my mother and sister.  They dragged me to a sale that only goes on one day a year in Old Lime Ct.  I swore I would buy notbing but I slipped.  After lugging the "stuff" back to the car, lunch was in order.  Essex is not far from where we were.  My sister masterfully got us to the Griswold Inn.  I was so excited lunch at the "Collinsport Inn".  It was beautiful, and the food excellent.
I thought about the epiisodes with Maggie and Vicki conversing there.

We popped into some of the shops and than rode by the "Collins Family" cannery.  Could just invision Roger skipping of to work.  I held back my enthusiasm my mother and sister not quite getting the whole DS addition I have.  O.K. they. they smile and humor me.

I could cerytainly understand why TPTB picked Essex  it is a beautiful town.

Birdie--think I may frame the card I bought of the Inn.

Current Talk '03 II / Dark Shadows first to view Reality TV
« on: July 25, 2003, 04:14:51 AM »
O.K.  a little bored tonight so crazy ideas pop into my mind.

The Collins have no TV {that we know about} so what do they do for entertainment go to the Parrell Time Room.   They then set up chairs and watch.  Placing bets on what there counter parts will do, what choices they will make.

RT Quentin screems at PT Quentin  "NO, NO not that ugly plaid jacket with blue pants. Are you color blind?"

Julia shakes her head and thinks thank god I went to med school.

Liz can't understand how she could have married Paul Stoddard in two time bands.

Carolyn looks at Willie in a new light.

Willie looks at Carolyn in a new light.

Roger is glad that he chooses brandy in all time bands

Maggie wishes she had a sister.  And wants to slap her counter part for putting up with that sh**.

David wants to share with Daniel some good tricks to play on other members of his family.  Also wonders why he didn't get the same name or father.

Amy thinks her counterpart is boring.

Prof. Stokes wonders about growing a mustache.

Who knew that the Collins found reality TV 30 some odd years before the rest of America.  Now if only they had kept that secret.

Current Talk '03 II / Illness in P.T.
« on: July 11, 2003, 04:13:57 PM »
The name switch to Batty. Has someone told you about me.
Please forgive my spelling errors as I am too lazy to go in look for the dictionary.

I truly do like P.T. and it has some good moments but is stupidity contagious to this world of P.T.

First of all Bruno saying "You are a living dead person!".  It cracks me up everytime I think of it.   How did he say the line without laughing.  How did Angelexis look at Bruno with his hair and clothers and not start laughing.

The lawyer, yelling to John Yeager after he killed Gladstone in cold blook to come out.  He has no protection form this murderer.  Than he follows him to Longworth's looks around and than calls the police.  Still banging my head on that one.

Colllins and Longworth new business getting rid of the bodies with out those ackward guestions.

Quentin needs prozac.

O.k. Barnabas has never been the brightest blub on the tree, but what was he thinking introducing himself as Barnabas Collins after Quentin mentioning the "room" and the Barnabas Collins from the "room". How about Sam, Joe, Tom, Dick, Harry, is the name Barnabas so very wonderful?

What about the people in reg. time constantly mentioning Barnabas and his curse.  Smack them on the side of the head.

I forgive Will for turning his back on the Barnster he was  very excited about his book.  I do love that scene.    Also love the scene with Angie and Alexis switching places.

Hate, Hate, Hate, John Yeager's make-up and hair.  But have to admitt Pennocks acting improves greatly in this charactor.  He truly is eerie.

Just a few of my thoughts on the P.T.

Current Talk '03 I / Buried
« on: June 14, 2003, 03:37:49 PM »
O.K, now after all the advise on where I could put the lady from the book store.  My backyard has very sandy soil how is that for burying people?  Have to think about that.  I thougt it might be fun to try to remember all the people who are buried in the woods of Collinwood.  Let's put our "minds" together and come up with some names.

Quentin's son


You guys take it from here.  Can you imagine what would happen if they decided to develope the woods, for lovely sea side homes.

Current Talk '03 I / Random thoughts
« on: April 18, 2003, 01:54:42 PM »
Just had to mention how much I loved the scene between Paul and Liz.  Joan Bennett truly shined.

Also have to say I love David.  He is such a natural actor.  He reminded me so much of my brother at that age.  So very obnoxious.  He would have done the same thing to my older sister and drag me right along with him.  It is too bad they had to have David become one of the Levitations.

Carolyn has been acting like a reasonable adult especially with the Todds.  Her disbelief that they did not contact the Dr. with a sick child or try to contact the parents.  Thank goodness someone said that.    Cheers to Nancy.  She uses great eye expression and body language

Current Talk '03 I / Strange thing happened at work today..
« on: March 20, 2003, 02:12:27 AM »
It is funny I never mentioned this before there is a woman who works for the same company as me named Josette.  The first time I met her I of course smiled in my head.  Yesterday, I helped a woman named Magda, I am not kidding.  Today, I answer the phone and a man name Dan Curtis asked to speak to the manager.  Too werid, hug.  My co-workers just didn't get it when I started to laugh.  By the way the woman named Magda was very nice.  Dark Shadows follows us in small ways through our daily lives.
