Testing. 1, 2, 3... / Re:no fair!  MB WAS/IS RIGHT (HAIL MB)

I had McAfee Firewall and when they changed my computer to ethernet, I couldn't access anything either. My brother had Norton and it about shut his whole system down. He didn't want to give me the evil thing, but he wasn't going to use it and I was desperate, works GREAT for me! Oh, and McAfee worked for him.

I have talked to someone else and it seems there is a BIG problem with Norton and Win XP.

It said when I FINALLY got to the board tonight, that I wouldn't be able to post new topics and it was right. But everyone else is! Is this something along the lines of ME being shut out for weeks, and when I get here at last I see that others have been posting for two weeks or so?  :'(

That's funny, I thought his performance was ever so much more watchable than when he is being "romantic"! Or, God help us all, "brotherly"!

At least I could just laugh instead of wanting to find a time machine, go back and kill his mother for even THINKING about having sex with his father.

Current Talk '03 I / Re: When do YOU watch your Dark Shadows?

I tape it and watch it in the evening usually. Even when I was home during the day, I would do this, though I would often watch it in the afternoon.

I find when I try to watch it without taping it, I miss too much. The phone rings, or something distracts me and then I can't back up the tape. Plus, cutting the commercials is quite the time saver.

Well, I am a fan, where can I find this on sale? I especially want to try for the dream date!

I remember DC in one of the special dvds mentioned that they had the portrait partly done before they hired Jonathon Frid, then they just painted his face in. DC also said that he was out of town and they sent him pictures of the actors who auditioned. He chose one in spite of it not being big enough to see it very well. (Which doesn't make a lot sense, now that I think of it, but I think that is what he said.)

This method of hiring in spite of not bothering to see the auditions, may explain a lot of other not so great choices....

Current Talk '03 I / Re: Has Barnabas ever heard of a lock?
« on: January 17, 2003, 02:20:59 AM »
Well, sometimes he has and sometimes he hasn't. He has chastised Willy for not locking the door, you just can't get good help these days. And, of course, right now it would just be Magda's fault. I can see an argument for him being in the coffin while people are using his house, he can't control them while he is down for the day.

What I have wondered about even more, is why he would do the things he does with no curtains on the windows?

Here's what I think, you balked for a reason and it is for the best. BUT, the next time you see a sign, there will be an apt. available in the mansion and it will be your dream come true.

Then you will buy a car cover and tough it out. Somewhat like those of us who bought a house, but couldn't afford a house with a garage, in spite of living in ice storm land.

Please.  Am I the only person on this forum who thinks Beth is completely devoid of sense, character or shame?



I dunno. I don't have a problem with sympathizing with her, and I think Quentin won't do any better, too bad he didn't appreciate her.

I agree with Luciaphil, except that I don't think Beth succombed to Quentin's charms until recently. You gotta realize this was hardly a time of Dr. Laura's judgements and advice. It was probably believed that the love of a good woman could turn a guy around. And, even in real life, it occasionally happens. I see her as resisting him as long as she could. Let's face it, that gorgeous hunk of man could probably seduce most anybody if tried hard enough. And he does seem like he would be, ahem, rather good in the sack. Just to bed him would tie her to him in those days, at least on her part, and then to actually be able to ENJOY it, well, that would be an infatuating factor! Then, once in love, of course, she is going to hope that her love will be enough for him. We have moments in which it appears to be too.

I think Beth tries to do the right thing, though yes, she is too weak sometimes to succeed. Compared to most of the other twits, self-centered egotists and sociopaths running around there, she is practically saintlike to me.

But that's just me.

Ya know, I realize that Dirk is in Laura's thrall and all, but watching him make sure Jenny was good and armed before siccing her onto Quentin, I have to wonder how deep that possession goes.


The part I was especially fond of was him arming her with a weapon and THEN telling her to wait! Ummm, Dirk, wouldn't YOU waiting have been a better idea? Hmmm???

A line of their vows was changed from "as long as we both shall live" to "as long as we both shall love".  


Ha! In my case that would be until they left their dirty laundry for me to pick up the eighty-seventh time....and even MY marriages lasted longer than the ephemeral feeling of infatuation, which is almost certainly what they meant by love!

So....how long did it last?

All I know is that there is an archive in L.A. that you can go and watch virtually any tv show, unless of course, the tapes are lost. I think it may have radio programs also.

Do you have your other cable channels when this happens? If you do, then my guess is that there is something about your area and the SciFi feed, or satellite transmission. Then again, I have no clue really!

RE: Quentin and possible STD's . . .

Quentin doesn't strike me as the type who would go to bed with the common prostitutes down on the docks. He seems to prefer the challenge of bedding the "proper" ladies, such as the virginal young maidens who serve in the household, and the proper ladies who are already married but unhappy in their relationships. Quentin seems all about the conquest; not much conquering to do with hookers.


Hmmm, I think that you are right. Maybe we should be more worried about Carl, ya' think?

What a crack up! And after watching our Playhouse collection eighty-seven thousand times,  I can verify that it is pretty darn accurate too!

But, the Reubens pedophile charges  aren't so funny and I am pissed off. I'm torn between wanting him to be innocent and not wanting to be a gullible sap. When he was arrested before, my exact words were "Well, at least it didn't have anything to do with children!" Well, crap, now it does.
