Current Talk '09 II / The Carey Mansion
« on: August 27, 2009, 08:41:07 PM »

This is a great video about the Carey mansion, with Nancy Barrett as the narrator.
I wanted to put it in the video section, but I guess it is not working?
At least I couldn't make the video of KLS on Huff work? [scratch]

Calendar Events / Announcements '08 II / OT: Dark Shadows as Xanax
« on: December 31, 2008, 02:21:50 PM »
I have been watching DS for 7 hours straight now to calm my anxiety. My husband was admitted to the hospital today with a mystery infection that has swelled his arm to twice its size. In the process it has also increased his problems with congestive heart failure and they are draining fluid from around his heart on an hourly basis. It has also caused complications with both his diabetes and his epilepsy. I am home because getting a wheelchair, my ventilator and assorted supplies is too complicated to get going, and having been sick myself with pneumonia going to a hospital germ factory would not be a good thing to do. So, it is 5 AM, I have not yet been able to get to sleep and I have watched disc after disc of DS to try and settle my nerves and lessen the worry. It sorta works..sometimes I go 5 or 6 minutes without worrying!  But at least I have been able to use DS instead of taking a Xanax, so perhaps that would be a good selling point to get DS back on the air! Can you see it--"Take one hour of Dark Shadows to calm your frayed (or fried) nerves!"  OK, back to the program--Vicki has just disappeared into the past with Jeff/Peter, and Madam Somebody has confronted Quentin and paid for it...and if you happen to believe in such things, could y'all say a prayer or send some white light to my Beloved? I would appreciate it.   [pray]

Current Talk '08 II / The Case of the Disappearing Adam
« on: December 28, 2008, 05:13:57 AM »
I've just finished the Adam story and have begun the werewolf sequence. It suddenly dawned on me what became of Adam---it was the magic shirt! All through the story he wore The Green Sweater. Now I always thought it strange that he went into Prof. Stokes bedroom never to be seen again, but on watching it this time, it was obvious; When he put on the plaid shirt Prof. Stokes gave him, THAT was the reason he disappeared. How could he be Adam without The Green Sweater? So we can absolve the poor Professor of any ill-doing, and blame Adam's demise on The Magic Plaid. Mystery solved. [frankie]

Love Bites: What Sexy Vampires Tell Us About Our Culture
Interesting article and comments on AlterNet, a political site. But the discussion concerns vampires. Under comments you will find some discussion of Dark Shadows (one note written by yours truly).

Calendar Events / Announcements '08 I / Photos From Jonathan Frid!
« on: January 22, 2008, 10:31:25 PM »
OMG!! I ordered the autographed photo of JF that was mentioned here previously. It came today! Beautiful 8x10 with a personal autograph--AND--another program with his autograph along with several pictures--3 of him as a child, one taken during his readings, and a beautiful color pic of him with Louis Edwards which was so amazing that I got teary--I loved Louis' acting so much and really missed him when he was no longer on All My Children. It was such an unexpected treat to find those extra goodies, and I am so grateful for his generosity. According to the note, he has a seeming unending treasure trove of memorabilia and just decided to include some with those who ordered the picture. Ok--I will quit extolling **tries to quit jumping up and down in her wheelchair** but wanted to share this with y'all.  Have a wonderful day--I sure am!!  [cheer] [cheer] [cheer] [cheer]

In the "video for full" topic, how do we access the video? I've tried several ways and have had no luck.

Current Talk '08 I / Question for Trivia Buffs
« on: January 17, 2008, 01:13:11 AM »
Just curious--in the beginning episodes of DS, Josette appears several times-emerging from the portrait and once on the steps of Collinwood
to tell David to go help the psychologist in the drawing room. I can't find anywhere who played that part. She is not listedi n the cast, and so far I've not found her in the history books. Anyone know the answer to this mystery?

Current Talk '08 I / Old movie?
« on: January 08, 2008, 11:29:00 PM »
While watching the old VHS Collector's edition tapes of DS, there are ads at the end for various items. One of them is a movie by Dan Curtis called "A Darkness At Blaisedon".  Has anyone here ever seen it? It has some of the same DS actors, as well as Marj Dusay, who is one of my faves. I have not been able to find a copy-any suggestions on how to get one? [snow_huh]

Current Talk '08 I / Arithmetic oops?
« on: January 08, 2008, 03:22:05 AM »
Just noticed something, though it may have been mentioned before here. I have been watching the Collectors VHS tapes, and several times it has been stated that Collinwood has 40 rooms, with many of them closed off. In episode 87, however, Victoria begins her voice over at the start by saying that Collinwood  has 80 rooms! So either her math needs remedial training or the rooms mysteriously propagate!    [cold-weather]

« on: January 16, 2007, 05:56:57 AM »
I notice today is "Fried Frid Feed-in"...I got a bunch at the market, but I'm not sure how to cook them? Does one deep fry or pan fry? Coat with flour or roll in oats? And what about seasonings? Can someone help me out with the recipe? I can't wait to taste these Frids!

Everytime I try to post in the last 4 or 5 hours, I get the message: Error: Last post from your IP was less than 120 seconds ago-try again later." I have not posted in several hours-why is this message coming up and what does it mean?[It's very frustrating! Help, please? Thanks.] [santa_sad] [santa_huh] [santa_cry]

Current Talk '06 II / J Frid & Episode # 0229
« on: November 13, 2006, 12:55:17 AM »
I just finished re-watching episode #0229, in which Barnabas is talking to Ben Stokes and is in mourning for the death of Josette. Talk about a GREAT scene! It's one of the times Frid was just right on the mark. The scene is very Shakespearean-he rages, he mourns, he speaks from the heart...just a fantastic job! I was mesmerized, and it reminded me yet again why DS is so enduring. If you haven't seen it for awhile, check it out--it's worth the time!
