I wonder...I wonder how good and dedicated a pediatrician Faith can be when she refers her own sister for an abortion? I'd wonder why a good and dedicated pediatrician would want an unwanted child brought into the world.
Didn't Faith ask Jill, why she went to 2 Roman Catholics and expected [objective] advice on abortion? Jill isn't in her right mind these days.

I wonder if it might be a good idea to limit our "snafus" to "snafus" that are accepted by all.
IMHO, every other "snafu" since this <thousand plus> thread was so wonderfully begun on the SN Board, (Kudos, LSU), has been universally accepted in the spirit of RH fun...
I like that a lot!

{{They moved those dead-Ryan family pictures around so much that they ended up where they started...w/the oval shaped one at the bottom right corner; the rectangular one still front and center. So much for Muh and Duh starring in a new DIY network program.}} LOL! Can't you just see it? They'd go to various homes to redecorate. Next thing you know there are granny square afghans and green hospital blankets everywhere, punching bags in the kitchen, and decorative cereal and food boxes on the shelves. Oh well, better a decorating show than a fashion show. Or a cooking show (involuntary shudder.){{I wonder if anyone at Riverside Hospital (or in the whole town) is whispering behind Seneca and Bucky's backs for hanging around each other so much, even being seen in public w/a violinist serenading them at a restaurant? Two wealthy, handsome, male physicians who can't seem to have a female escort on their arms? Hmmmm. }} I, who have previously admitted that Bucky was my first crush on soaps, have been wondering if the writers would considering a ground breaking episode with these two. I can understand that Seneca wouldn't have anyone else to hang around with, but Bucky? He'd be better off spending his free time with the violinist. Or making up a friend, a la Sheila. It can't be that fun being Seneca's little buddy, even when you've got the shirt for the part. As for Riverside, it may be the first example of don't ask don't tell in existance. And by the way, how come Bucky only has one sweater? I make considerable less than Bucky does and I have several sweaters that I wear during the colder months. Yet Bucky has only one sweater? I mean, I like the sweater, but come on, it just doesn't ring true. New York is pretty cold during the winter. Give the man another sweater already. Winter's coming.{{I wonder if anyone on this board can picture the "original" Faith dancing w/Pat the way this 3rd one is doing w/ease. "Wrinkle-nosed Faith" couldn't put one foot in front of the other until Pat taught her at the bar...while Kenneth watched, of course.}} Yes, third Faith should be called Twinkle Toes Faith. She can actually dance! And thanks for the mention of Kenneth. I've been missing him something fierce lately. The show really needs an influx of carefully worded crazy - a Kenneth specialty. (Now, Kenneth I'd watch on a home decorating show. He'd even know all the appropriate vocabulary.) {{I wonder if, when Jack whispered "Mary" while Sister Joel and his wife were both at his bedside, either (or both) of them thought Jack was talking about themself or the other woman in attendance with the same name? }} Too funny! This could have been a whole new facet in the Mary / Jack relation. {{Roger's apt. is extremely short on square footage. I get that. With his being home all day long, longing for Dee, I wonder what he does during the hours when he has NO contact w/her? I mean, you can buff your crystal, shine your silver gravy boat, and polish your brass "fixtures" just so much. ;D}} {{I wonder why Johnny needs a huge-assed cleaver to cut turnips before peeling them? Personally, I peel mine first, then cut them. Methinks Maeve better toe the line when ole John is angry...especially in the kitchen. }} If Johnny's using a cleaver for dicing vegetables I think they might have been better off with the punching bag in the kitchen. I'd rather he use the punching bag to work out his stress and aggression rather than a cleaver. {{I wonder why everyone, Mary included, is blaming Jack for not having medical insurance at his job instead of Mary adding him to her policy at Channel R? Since she's so smart, wouldn't she realize that a freelancer usually provides their own coverage? I mean, she knows everything about everything else, right? }} Yeah, that is pretty funny. She can't possibly think that it's the man's job to provide his wife with insurance, can she? Not a modern woman like Mary. {{I wonder if she will provide Jack's physical therapy since she's "qualified" to do so? I also wonder if Jack would even allow her to touch him? ;D}} Of course she will! What a great way to save a few bucks on his medical care. Mary will provide all PT services to Jack. In fact, Mary might want to consider going back to PT on a part-time basis as a second job to make some more money while Jack's out of work. Since she knows so many doctors, it shouldn't be a problem getting patients. In fact, she spends so little time at Channel R now that she has the world's best assistant that she might be able to pull off the PT work full time in addition to her television job. That should take a load off of Johnny's mind. {{I wonder how Dee can get away w/hiding against the parlor wall whenever anyone exits or enters? Don't any of these Ryans have peripheral vision? Guess not. }} There's not even a plant or anything to cower behind. She's basically just standing there up against the wall. And it's not like her clothing allows her to blend in. I think you hit it on the head. Peripheral vision must not be in the Ryan DNA. Hey, maybe they could use this to test for paternity with Jill's baby! Peripheral vision means Seneca is the father; none means Frank is the dad. {{I wonder why Seneca doesn't dust off his cornhusk death mask to save Jack? ;D}} Or pull out a rock of rehabilitation or pine cone of pain management or something. Apparently, he only learned the Native American folklore that he thought would help him get girls. ;0) {{I wonder if we'll ever again hear Seneca Beaulac admit that he's not the ultimate authority on a subject. Today was a first! While speaking with Jill about a prospective father's right to be consulted when a woman chooses to terminate a pregnancy, Seneca admitted that he is "ticklish" on the subject. Ultimately, he concluded by saying, "But, it's legal. And who am I?" Ironically, he wasn't that concerned about the law when he pulled the plug on Nell.}} Darn it! I missed this episode! After he said "And who am I?" did it look like he was waiting for Jill to interject "The winner of the Bollard Award" or something else to indicate that he was above the rest of us? Just wondering. {{I wonder if Pat realizes that a mental snapshot is worth a thousand words. Does it not occur to him that there are always people coming in and out of the apartment? Besides that, he and Dee are in a living room -- not a bedroom. There's Dee, barely dressed, on her knees in front of Pat, arms clasped around his neck. Pat is sitting in a chair, and he's practically salivating over his barely dressed sister-in-law. Would would Maeve say? What would Johnny say? What would Mary say? Risky behavior, indeed.}} Oh, but he's thinking with Little Pat, which doesn't like to consider things such as risk factors, appropriate vs. inappropriate environments, or consequences.

I wonder when Ed McCullough will publish the story about Jack's impotence in The Banner? Oh, wait, he doesn't have to, EVERYBODY IN RIVERSIDE KNOWS. And if they don't know it yet, tune in to tomorrow's Channel R newscast to hear Mary give the news at 6 o'clock. I wonder when Smilin' Jack will ever smile again?

Hi LSUfan,
Great post! I'm surprised that Channel R provides health insurance at all. Isn't it a rather fly-by-night operation? Still, you would think that Jack would have bought health insurance once they were married.

Marianne"Thanks, Bunny. I was beginning to think we had lost our senses of humor. As for the 'unwanted pregnancy'/abortion referral, it would have helped Faith stay in practice. Maybe that was her ulterior motive? BTW...love your avatar! That rabbit is having a heck of a time! LOL! "LOL! Can't you just see it? They'd go to various homes to redecorate. Next thing you know there are granny square afghans and green hospital blankets everywhere, punching bags in the kitchen, and decorative cereal and food boxes on the shelves. Oh well, better a decorating show than a fashion show. Or a cooking show (involuntary shudder.)"LOL! Can't you just picture it? Green blankets everywhere w/Johnny getting pissed and knocking holes in the drywall. No product endorsements for the Ryans, thank you very much. "And by the way, how come Bucky only has one sweater?

I mean, I like the sweater, but come on, it just doesn't ring true. New York is pretty cold during the winter. Give the man another sweater already. Winter's coming."Maybe Bucky didn't have the right shoes to match any other sweater color? Lord knows he has access to many shoe colors/designs, yet he chooses to lay low on trend-setting. Could he be following in Seneca's footsteps? Sweaters, fireside chats, moccasins? "And thanks for the mention of Kenneth. I've been missing him something fierce lately."My pleasure.

I can see Dee trying to hide behind a plant, but they're always moving...never know where the "Seneca plant" will end up. The peripheral vision component to DNA research needs to be added. Brilliant! (and funny!) "Or pull out a rock of rehabilitation or pine cone of pain management or something.

So much happening around Riverside while he's laid up...and it all happens to be about his own personal issues...no insurance, impotent, ... I wonder if Martha McKee already knows about Jack's E.D., too. Lord knows Mary didn't tell her...even though she DID tell everyone else. (BTW Rags, love your signature line!) "Hi LSUfan,
Great post! I'm surprised that Channel R provides health insurance at all. Isn't it a rather fly-by-night operation? Still, you would think that Jack would have bought health insurance once they were married." Hi Susan! Thanks for the compliment. I agree w/you. Channel R has always seemed like a one-trick pony to me. One or two employees whose job titles encompass the job descriptions of 5 or 6 people, being run by whatshisname? "Careful Crowell?" Give me a break! BTW gang, I'm a few epis behind (4 or 5), as I've been glued to the Casey Anthony trial these past couple of days. Thank God for DVRs. Will catch up ASAP. Hang in there, folks! Forte, SR, Rags and Co. are excellent stand-ins. (Thanks, ladies. )

Incredible trial, isn't it? I've been watching since the first day. I'm absolutely fascinated by the coverage. I'm really interested in your take on the proceedings. If you get the time, would you consider posting your thoughts on the Casey Anthony thread?

I wonder if I heard Roger correctly when he said he couldn't get an edge in wordwise. Well, it doesn't really matter because I absolutely love this phrase and have already used it a few times today. I've decided it's going to be my new catchphrase. It makes me giggle.
And kudos to both RH and IK for moving on with the scene; they are such professionals.

I wonder where Faith bought her Robe of Many Pockets. I hope she doesn't put anything important in one of them; there are so many pockets it's likely she'd never see it again. At least it would go with her Socks of Many Colors. Unless First Faith took them with her when she left.
I wonder if Jack thinks he woke up in a very realistic episode of The Twilght Zone. His current situation couldn't be more hellish for him. He's in constant pain, his wife expects him to chat at her convenience, he's not in control of anything in his life including his own body, and this incredibly private, solitary man is going to be forced to live with and be dependent upon a large, gregarious family whom he can barely tolerate for small periods of time under the best of circumstances. They'd better lock up the sharps.
I wonder if today was the first time anyone anywhere had ever asked Maeve for one of her recipes. It's not like she's renown for her culinary talents. I bet she giggled and skipped all the way over to Faith's house. "Someone likes my cooking!"
I wonder how often the words "I don't want to talk badly about _____" are immediately followed by bad talk about that very person. Whatever the percentage, I think Maeve may have the land speed record. Roger and Delia may be right for each other? Damning with faint praise indeed.

If I were Jack (huh?) I would ask for a new doctor. This one is playing footsie with Mary, giggling like little schoolgirls together, having dinner and sleepovers and braiding each other's hair. Why doesn't he request a gay doctor?

Too bad Faith changed specialities; she could have been Jack's doctor and saved him from Dr. Footsie. Dancing Faith would have been strong enough to stand up to Mrs. Ryan-Fenelli; or at least quick enough on her feet to avoid her.

I wonder if Dr. Carter's first name is Buckingham or Buckminster. Mr. Thayer, the banker, called him both names during their meeting about the anonymous payment of Jack's hospital bills. Don't know if I'd trust a guy with my millions if he couldn't get my first name right.
I wonder if Jill was attempting to start a trend by painting only nine of ten fingernails (noticed it during a scene, earlier this week, when she and Frank were embracing in his office).
I wonder if Faith realizes that she does an excellent impersonation of Dee. Wow, when you watch someone else "do" Delia, you can't help but notice how odd Dee's behavior really is (actually, "off the charts" is a better description).

Yeah, Kind of a Drag. I always associate Bucky's name with Buckminster Fuller. I wonder if they named him that in tribute to the architect?

I wonder if the Ryan's apartment is kind of like the Tardis on Dr. Who. You know, bigger on the inside than on the outside? They never seem to consider whether they have the room, they just take the attitude that the more the merrier and everybody squeeze in.
Come to think of it, my parents are just like that. They've often said there's always room for family and they have a tiny home. Maybe it's just something about that generation. It's a wonderful trait, unless of course you happen to be someone who values privacy or space, like Jack. For people like Jack it's a nightmare.
I was thinking about Seneca lately. I wonder if (in today's world) Seneca would have become a natural healer when his medical license was revoked. I know that he is also a scientist, but I think I can see him using his Native American knowledge to continue to act as a type of new age physician. I can definitely see him sitting in his office, surrounded by candles, wearing his turtleneck or mushroom shirt (which has apparently been lost in the laundry), and engaging in alternative medicine.

It's a wonderful trait, unless of course you happen to be someone who values privacy or space, like Jack. For people like Jack it's a nightmare. My father, who grew up on the East Side of NYC, lived in a model tenement with the family store on the first floor and two floors of apartments above (the family owned the whole building). He had three older brothers, although they were pretty spread out in age. Recently I asked my mother, who lived there in the first year of marriage, in 1946, how many bedrooms they had to accomodate all the boys, and she couldn't quite remember. Now this is a woman who never had anything good to say about her mother-in-law. But then she said, "She [my grandmother] was always taking people in." (This is literally the first good thing she ever said about her MIL.) So I guess like the Ryans and your family they doubled up and made room. There is a bedroom for Johnny and Maeve; a bedroom occupied by Frank and Dee, and now just Dee; a bedroom for LJ (or does he live in the bathroom?) a room for Mary; a room for Patrick who has moved back home from his interns' quarters. 5 bedrooms, a parlor, but no kitchen!

Hi LSU, Long time, no chatting!! Hope all is going just great, for you and your family, with your new grandbaby!! (who is a Gemini,like moi.:)I'm sure it is a very special time, you are very lucky!! To make this an 'official' "I wonder....." post, I will wonder.... : / .....HOW can Jack's stay at Riverside cost only five hundred dollars a day!? (as you said, even in in 1976), That just does not seem accurate at all, to me either! This is my first post to you since the SN board. I had a ball adding lots of post to your groundbreaking "I Wonder" thread over there, as a few dear posters and I waited, into the night, to see if the board would just disappear! (which didn't happened until the next afternoon, when I was not online, figures. Anyway, glad to read your recent post LSU, and look forward to more! Your Pal, -Echo-

{{I am totally there with you sitting cross legged beating a drum no shirt at all LOL wearing love beads EATING mushrooms some sort of shaman-mystic psychedelic dude maybe a little grateful dead music in the background sorry got a little carried away LOL}}
You are totally in my head. This is just about the picture I was thinking of. The only difference? I thought Mama Seneca (sorry, can't remember her name) would have provided Shaman Seneca with a cassette of her chanting Native American healing rituals. I think I like your version better. We all know what happens when Mama Seneca chants and it wouldn't be good for Seneca's business. The Grateful Dead is a much better choice.
Do you think he might have the Bolland Award on a pedestal with special museum lighting? And would he have an armed guard standing nearby or use laser security methods? Or both?
{{Maybe Bucky didn't have the right shoes to match any other sweater color? Lord knows he has access to many shoe colors/designs, yet he chooses to lay low on trend-setting. Could he be following in Seneca's footsteps? Sweaters, fireside chats, moccasins? }}
Oh my goodness, I hadn't even considered this. Seneca is creating a mini me! Maybe that's where the mushroom shirt is; he's having it tailored to fit Buckminster. In the words of Monty Python, run away! Run Away!
{{Whenever I see that purple text on the screen, I brace myself. I know what to expect, and you never disappoint. Your insights and comments are a perfect blend of humor and logic. Love your posts!}}
Thank you so much. This is really great praise coming from you. You are one of the posters I look for when I'm on the board. You always give me something to think about and I just love your sense of humor. LSU once wrote something about my posts reminding her of yours and I still feel a rush of pride at that notion. Keep posting; I'm getting to the age where I need to keep the brain working and thinking in new ways in order to stave off decline and I'm counting on you to keep me challenged.
I can't tell you how much it means to have a place to go and people to "talk"with who are so welcoming of the weird thoughts that go through my mind. In fact, I'm counting on everyone here at RH to continue to share their insights, voice their opinions, and just generally keep up the laughs. Knowing this place is here and populated with such interesting folk really helps when the days get rough.
A very heartfelt thank you to everyone here!
