You are so brave, Midnite! Lucky for all you chatters - I'll be out of town tomorrow evening.

Edward is most likely still legally married to Laura. I doubt that Edward divorced her or has had her declared legally dead (family name pride, etc.). And if the coast were legally clear for Charity to marry Edward, it could be contested (by Quentin, if need be) because Edward is mentally ill. Trask the elder also considers Jamison bonkers as well (and therefore not a threat). And if I'm not mistaken, Judith has willed all to Trask (through trickery with help from Evan). I don't know if Quentin would have a legal leg to stand on but perhaps by having him married to Charity, Trask could get rid of him too and in turn would have gotten rid of the last possible threat to his taking complete control of the Colllins' holdings, being any claim Quentin has to the family fortune would automatically (and legally) be transferred to his wife upon his death.

And after all is said and done, I doubt that even Trask would assume that he could get Charity to marry Edward. He is smart (or is it evil) enough to know that his young daughter would more likely be a lot less resistant to marrying the younger and more dashing Quentin.

My personal favorite is Lake Ronkonkoma (just TRY to guess where the accent goes!)....the bottomless lake where the Sachem's daughter allegedly waits to drag boaters into the murky depths.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to list a few more until I realized that I could pronounce them but couldn't spell them, lol. I'll never forget the ribbing I took the day I asked where SOY-oh-set (Syosset - pronounced, sigh-AH-set) was.

My fave is the tale of the man who pronounced Yosemite, YO-se-might.

The important thing is that you are giving kitty a home.

Let us know what you name him, Teresa.

I don't think Aristede is gay, considering the way he was turned-on by Angelique. I do think that Petofi is an abusive father figure for Aristede, who obviously grew up being abused and is comfortable (for lack of a better word) being in that subserviant role. I know at some point we learn that Aristede can hardly bare to think of a life without Petofi, telling him how to live it.

Happy Birthday, Bette!

And many more,
