Yup. #43. Jan. 18. Makes it real easy to remember my daughter's birthday, which is Jan. 17. :) Where are you, Sheila? Let's all stick our tongues out at Nan. :P :P :P I just ordered the novel "For the Love of the Game". Does anyone know who wrote "Message in a Bottle"?

Message in a Bottle-author Nicholas Sparks Storyline-A female journalist walking along a beach finds a bottle containing a love letter from a husband to his wife. Has such an effect on her-she falls in love with the writer and decides to track him down. For the Love of the Game-author Michael Shaara Storyline-A washed up pitcher pitches a perfect game while flashing back on what went wrong with his career. Charlotte, I live in an igloo near Toronto, Ontario CANADA (just joking) It is very WINTER here right now!

Come visit ME! I live in Southern California and it's around 68 degrees and sunny right now. We're hoping for rain on Saturday.

Has this Message book even been published yet? I can't find it at Amazon!!

Good question Charlotte, found this information through Movietrack search at www.erack.com Film is being produced for Warner Bros. I'm sure I saw something else about the project (can't remember where) Demi Moore's name had been mentioned in connection with it???? Perhaps I will email them and see if I can get any more information. What is the time difference between us? Four hours????

P.S. The article was from Mr.Showbiz P.P.S.S. Love to visit CA someday! Planning a Florida vacation next month!

Charlotte--I've been hunting through old magazines (I'm such a pack rat) ;-) The following 3 are from US Magazine (July 1991): Too funny, yes? This one is from US Magazine (January 1991)

Nan, I really like the last one! Mmmmmmmmm good!!!!

Nan! I've run out of ways to say thank you! Did you notice that my Kevin page is now listed on the FanSite Kevin page? (I so proud) :)

So you should be!!! Phyllis has a great page but I like yours best!!!! Take a bow!

Did you notice that my Kevin page is now listed on the FanSite Kevin page? YAY! You go, sister! ;-) No thanks necessary...I just love lookin' at him ;-p

Oh NA-A-AN! There is a new photo of Kevin in this week's People magazine. Pg. 47. The accompanying story is about how Kevin tried to get a PG-13 rating for The Postman, but got voted down. Twice.

So are you guys Kevin'd out, yet?? ;-) I hope you haven't missed Entertainment Tonight for about the past week. I think he's been on almost every day...and he will be again tonight, so head's up, ladies.

Surely you jest! For some of us, getting "Kevin'd out" is patently impossible! :) I caught last night's EW. Thanks for the tip about tonight! I am sooooo happy that the preliminary feedback about the film is good. I take it so personally when Kevin has to take a lot of abuse. :)

Oh Nooooo!!!!!! I missed it! Please share all the details girls.

Might be easier to send you the tape. :) Last night's favorite quote: re: kissing Olivia Williams... "I kissed her once for the movie, once for all the men everywhere, and then I kissed her for myself." (paraphrased from memory...may not be exact wording)

Last week, there was a segment about directing his kids in the movie. On Monday, people from Michigan and NJ got to ask Kev questions. The first lady asked him to give men tips to be sexy. He got all embarassed and kept looking down and sort of smiling and was telling the lady to settle down (if I hadn't seen a picture of Nan....). Then the last lady asked him if he would consider doing a nude scene. Again, he got all embarassed and fumbled over his answer, which was that he didn't even think about d ing that kind of stuff. OUR LOSS. About the only one he was good on was the one a kid asked about what sports he played as a kid. Of course!! He was also on during the weekend...but I don't even know what day/time they broadcast ET on the weekends. I'd say Kev is being so accessible to ensure a good reception for his movie.

Sorry for the delay, Charlotte--I've been a bit behind...;-)

Tin Cup was on last night on HBO: He said his inner child needed to be spanked. Where do I get in line??

Anybody pick up their January copy of PREMIERE magazine? Guess who is on the cover? Check out the cowboy boots and jeans on page 7. Yippy Skippy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, I have seen the Premiere Magazine--and a bee-yew-tee-ful thing it is. My very splashy pal, Marilyn sent it in a package of juicy tidbits today ;-) And here he is... Oh my!! ;-)... I think this is my favorite... But this one doesn't stink ;-p

SLUUUUURP!!! ;-)...... He certainly knows how to wear jeans and cowboy boots - too beautiful for words. ;-)

My vote has to go for the jeans and boots.

I wonder about those jeans........ Zip or button fly?????????

Oh Charlotte.... Another birthday present for you, make sure you catch Rose O'Donnell on December 15th too! Kevin Costner and Olivia Williams!

Oh Charlotte.... Another birthday present for you, make sure you catch Rosie O'Donnell on December 15th too! Kevin Costner and Olivia Williams!

Thanks, Sheila! I knew about the Rosie appearance, thanks to my trusty Entertainment Weekly! :) VCR is set up for both Rosie and Letterman. I got the Premiere mag, too. Read the article. Not as good as the George article, but not too terrible, either. Do you think, MAYBE, the press is beginning to respect Kevin? Nan, the photos are simply wonderful and I thank you. I can't wait until I can get to work tomorrow and upload them to my Web page. (I'm more comfortable doing Web work in Unix.) Ya know... he has been called "extraordinarily handsome", "extremely good looking", and "rakishly sexy". I say: he's simply beautiful.

Happy Birthday, Charlotte ;-)

Oh. My. God. I'm starting to wonder if you are exceedingly kind or excessively cruel, Nan! I'm 52 today, and I'm not sure how much longer my old heart can take stuff like this. Forever, I hope. :) It's a great day, so far...thanks for thinking of me. I'm leaving work now so I can go home and watch Rosie's birthday present to me. Isn't she sweet? :)

Just watched Rosie, it's such a treat to see Kevin being Kevin. He seemed a little nervous to me. What did you guys think when he spoke about his wife? Can't wait till tonight. Can't wait till The Postman! CHARLOTTE-HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT BIRTHDAY. * * * * * * * * * * I I I I I I I I I I I [___________] (does that look like a birthday cake?)

OOOPS! it looked a lot better on my response screen, I'm still new at this stuff.

It looks just fine, Sheila. It looks exactly how my own cake would look if i tried to put 52 candles on it. :)

Is no one going to comment on Kevin's Freudian slip on Letterman? ;-) I'm shocked.

(Karen) Is no one going to comment on Kevin's Freudian slip on Letterman? ;-) Didn't see it...what did he say? He was too adorable on Rosie this week ;-)

The Rosie appearance was delightful. I've watched the tape 3 times already. My VCR screwed up and I missed the Letterman spot. Dammit. And today I overslept and didn't get to the TV until 7:30. I watched until 9, but Kevin never appeared, as scheduled, on Good Morning America. Maybe he was in the half hour that I missed? Tell us about the Freudian slip!!

Let's see, it had to do with the kind of swash-bluckling move of picking a woman up while on horseback (like in Valmont). Dave questioned him about doing that and he replied that "throwing a woman on her back" (something like that) was a fantasy we all have. The place went nuts!! They were both so red. Kev couldn't even look up. Obviously he meant on "horseback" but it just came out on "her back." My oh my!! Maybe someone else can relate it better than I.

You pretty much got it covered Karen, Kevin was very embarassed. It's too bad you missed it Charlotte because the Letterman Show was really good. Don't get me wrong I like Rosie's show a lot but I just felt that he seemed a little nervous with her one on one. She did say that they hadn't met before. I felt the conversation with Dave was a little more spontaneous. Dave asked him who his idols were and he named McQueen and Newman and also admitted he was having discussions with Paul Newman about working together. Sounds intriguing! How did you hear about the Good Morning America spot Charlotte? I feel like I live in Timbuktu!!!! My Dec 19/97 issue of Entertainment Weekly arrived today-all the articles are a week old!!!! Do you know of anything else scheduled?

FYI ladies...... The Postman site has been updated.

Yah! I noticed the new updated Postman site yesterday! I went looking for any possible pre-release dates...sneak previews and the like. Came up empty. Sheila, I did a search of the online tvlistings and found the GMA spots. Supposedly, he's on GMA again today, wrapping up from yesterday, and this time I'm ready. It's 7am as I type this and the VCR is rolling.

Guess what I got for Christmas!! My 5 closest friends went in together and bought me the 8-tape complete boxed set of "500 Nations"! Sure is soft and fluffy up here in these clouds! :)

Charlotte, while you were busy typing at 7 AM my morning was already half over (3 hour time change between us) Not a chance to catch GMA :( I was up to my eyeballs with data entry and tax remittance returns - Christmas vacation deadlines!!!! As much as I enjoy the holidays with my children, it is definitely the SILLY SEASON. I get very stressed out! I did something however, for me... Treated myself to The Directors Cut of JFK and Beyond JFK-The Question of Conspiracy. Pretty serious subject matter, but my video collection is now 2 larger. I am fascinated with American history - JFK was assassinated the year I was born. 500 Nations is EIGHT tapes?????? WOW, how long till we get your review??

Oh now I'm jealous! I don't have Beyond JFK yet. It's my plan to get it after the first of the year sometime. (I was told I could not buy myself anything until after the holidays.) Please let me know if Kevin onscreen in Beyond JFK very much. It may be awhile before you get a TOTAL review of 500 Nations. But I can give you eight separate ones as we watch them. The 6 of us have agreed to get together each Monday evening to watch one tape. I think GMA was a bust. I saw neither hide nor hair of our man. Either I misread the listing, or the listing was wrong.

Are you friends "KEVIN" fans too? Mine tease me about my "infatuation", I did something really dopey at work recently, I have been working on some golf course books so of course, what's on my mind....... GOLF.....TIN CUP.....ROY MCAVOY......KEVIN COSTNER!!!! The telephone rings...a guy named Kevin Bidwell for one of the accountants, but who does Sheila-head at the golf course say is calling....you guessed it! I got an amused raised eyebrow! JUST WISHFULL THINKING I GUESS :) !!! I shall watch Beyond JFK and give you a report, in fact I have to go wrap some Christmas presents now that the kids are in bed and I think I will pop it in the VCR

Charlotte, I was just browsing through Phyllis' guest book and found a posting saying Kevin will be on Regis and Kathie Lee Tuesday December 23, 1997. Their weekly schedule isn't posted till Monday, My guess is Regis and Kathie Lee are on vacation and this LIVE episode was taped this past week when Kevin was in New York. Reprogram that VCR!!!!!

OOoo! Thanks for the tip, Sheila! (Are we the only ones here?) No, my friends are not Kevin fans. They love me, though, so they are condescendingly tolerant. That's one reason why their gift means so much to me. It probably hurt them to buy the damn thing. :) I got this week's People magazine today. *sigh* They list The Postman as one of the worst films of the year. And it hasn't even opened yet. How can that be fair? And why should it matter to me what they think? But damn.

No, you're not the only ones here, but you may be the only KC fans right now. I'm not exactly a fan, but I don't dislike Costner, either. My husband and I plan to see The Postman because we like sci-fi. Evidently, there are lots of negative reviews and rumors flying about the film right now. Today's Chicago Sun-Times reports that there's an Internet rumor that Costner forced Mikhail Gorbachev to watch a rough cut of the movie at a recent dinner, while a translator interpreted each line of the dialog. Costner says it's not true, that they only showed the preview trailer. Evidently there are also rumors that there was laughter during a sneak preview of the film (evidently at something that wasn't supposed to be funny). But don't let rumors, bad reviews, etc. stop you from seeing something you're interested in! I can't tell you how many films I've disliked that had rave reviews, and vice-versa. If seeing KC on screen gives you a thrill, go for it!

Hi, Lorie! Ya know...I'm beginning to think that Kevin has become the Michael Bolton of films. The critics hate him, but he has a huge loyal fan following and his films make money. Listen, I loved Waterworld. I even sat through Sizzle Beach, even though it was less exciting than watching grass grow. I even liked Wyatt Earp! Do you think I'll let the critics sway my opinion of The Postman? Not a chance. It is an adaptaion of one of my most favorite novels and I have been waiting for it to make it to film for many years. That it has Kevin at the helm only doubles it's value for me! Yoo Hoo, Sheila! Got your VCR set up for Regis tomorrow?

VCR-READY,SET,GO...... Charlotte, there is a babe of a Kevin picture in December 24\97 issue of Entertainment Weekly page 8. All denim and barefoot.......GROOOAAANNN! Do you suppose if we got down on our knees and begged Nan would post it for us?

Oh golly, Sheila. YOU ask her. I'm already in debt to her up to my eyeballs. And she won't take bribes! :) Damn. I'll bet that's this week's EW. The one that has not arrived in my mailbox yet. It's usually always here by Tuesday, though, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. BAREFOOT, you say? Oh god, I've become so accustomed to those two-toned cowboy boots that seeing his actual feet might make me... well...it's not a pretty picture, I'll tell ya. :)

Okay Charlotte, tonight on Entertainment Tonight an interview with KC. Have fun ,girl and Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Hanukkah!!!!

You're right! I looked it up! But oh geez, they're gonna talk about his sex appeal. I hate it when they do that, cause it makes him so uncomfortable. Then again, it's high time he GOT comfortable with it, since it ain't going away. :) My VCR has seen more activity in the past month than in the past year! :)

So girls, who caught Regis & Kathie Lee? Does the man give turtleneck sweaters a new dimension or what?? I'll never think of a turtleneck in the same way again! How can I get a tour of his closet? ET- More please........ what a cutie patutie! Charlotte, did you get your EW mag yet? WHO IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST TO SEE THE POSTMAN? Happy Holidays Everyone!

I Am!! It's playing TODAY in Los Angeles. I am at the moment trying to pressure someone into going with me. It's a 2 hour drive and, while I will go by myself if I have to, company would be better. I saw the Regis bit. Loved it. Saw the ET bit. Loved it, too! He taped the Regis and Rosie shows on the same day. Just put on a sports jacket for Rosie. :) I like the new hairstyle. Finally. :) Couldn't you just listen to him talk all day long??? Oh...and YES! Got my EW mag. He has tiny ankles! But oh god, what being barefoot does do for a man, eh?

I'm hoping to make the movie this weekend, it will be the first chance I get. Simply too many Christmas commitments. My livingroom looks like a tornado went through this morning. I guess I will have to take my Kevin, and if I come out of the theatre all starry eyed he will reap the rewards :)

Well, I never made it to L.A. Christmas Eve. But I made the 10:30am showing Christmas morning. Cost me $3. :) Kevin is in nearly every scene. I wish he would keep the beard. Oh, my. :) It did not match my memory of the book, but it is grand and sweeping and very Dances-with-wolves-like. And did I mention that Kevin is in nearly every scene? :) I do not think it will sit well with the critics, however.

Sheila, I just ordered BEYOND JFK. Should get to me early next week. I've been reading POSTMAN reviews all morning. Very depressing. I think maybe Kevin and I are living in the wrong decade. I found one guy who loved it, though, and he admittedly *hates* Costner. That brightened my day, somewhat.

Charlotte, you are the best! Where are you Christmas morning? At Kevin Costner's latest film release! I simply am unable to top that! Grand and sweeping you say? I can hardly wait! I have this huge full page newspaper movie ad on my fridge, this is to discreetly inform my husband where we are going. Kevin is in nearly every scene ? Boy oh boy is my husband ever going to be glad he takes me to see Kevin instead of Jack Nicholson! $3 admittance?? Is that the regular rate? Don't ask what theatre's charge in Canada?

P.S. Have watched about half of Beyond JFK, so far Kevin's appearances are limited but it is interesting.

Drool alert from a non-drooler Your boy Kevin made a great golf shot today on the Celebrity Golf tournament. Now showing on NBC. Matt McConnaughy and other objets de drool are also playing.

".. it was a sweet moment for me ..." - Costner on his sensational golf shot. Just heard him say this on a live interview 30 seconds ago.

I saw THE POSTMAN yesterday and thought it was FABULOUS!! I've been spreading the word at work today about how good it really is. I also watched two days of golf (much to my husbands surprise) and saw the double eagle Kevin made. I love the pictures that have been posted here. Can anyone tell me how to save them to a file? I'm pretty net illiterate. I don't understand why the critics have been so hard on Kevin's movie. It's humerous, grand, sweeping, touching, moving, stirring....not to mention the fact that Kevin is GORGEOUS!! Did anyone catch him on Hollywood One on One yesterday?

I caught Kevin's double eagle as well. It was adorable. We knew it went in the hole before he did, and the look on his face when they told him was just priceless. I only watched the first round, which he and his partner Jim Colbert won. Does anyone know if they also won the final round the next day? I know why the critics don't like Kevin's movie. Because they don't like Kevin. They don't like the kind of movies that Kevin makes. If someone were to make "It's a Wonderful Life" today, the critics would hate it, calling it sappy and sentimental and sweet. I just hope the negative reviews don't hurt Kevin too much. They sure don't hurt me. I mostly feel sorry for anyone who is unable to see the beauty in this film. My roommate hasn't seen it yet. She wants me to go see it with her. Damn. I'll have to go see it again. :)

Have been browsing Newsgroups and the reaction to the film is definitely not favourable-there were few positive comments. Did pick up some comments from someone who met Kevin in a Seattle bar weekend of December 20-21/97 claimed he was very cordial and just seemed to be hanging out (with a group of women of course). Quite by accident I found in my local television listings a program called "Making of the Postman" scheduled to be aired on the speciality SPACE chanel Friday January 2/98 5:00pm EST. My local cable company doesn't offer me this station so I will have to plead and beg a family friend who lives in a nearby city that offers it to tape it for me.

I don't get that channel either. So I'll have to beg and plead with Sheila to make me a copy. :)

Sheila, I never heard of the Science channel. Could it be the sci-fi channel? on the E! channel, there is something called "Behind the scenes" which is about the making of the postman. I'm getting a friend to tape that for me.

Probably the same program Charlotte, more hype for the movie. I just emailed my friend and called in a favour (he has been known to mooch jars of homemade chilli sauce) hopefully he'll come through and we can exchange notes. The station is called the SPACE-IMAGINATION channel? SCI-FI by a different name?????

Kevin Costner loaned his private plane to the Kennedy clan so they could get to the recent funeral of Michael Kennedy.

Sounds like something Kevin would do. Of course the media will now claim that he did it to get attention for himself, and yada yada yada. Incidentally, there is lovely photo on the last page of this week's PEOPLE magazine of Kevin and his children. Where *are* you, Nan? :) Sheila, is there any info in your fanclub stuff that might tell us where we can send birthday greetings?

Incidentally, there is lovely photo on the last page of this week's PEOPLE magazine of Kevin and his children. Where *are* you, Nan? :) I'm here, dear...just been very busy with the Holiday stuff...is that this week's People? I don't subscribe so you have to let me know when there's a juicy photo (or mail them to me and I'll scan them in for you). I see that I missed a Kevin picture a couple of weeks ago in People...sorry :-(

Hi Nan - don't worry, sweetie, I'll mail them to you. I've been holding on to them for the next care package. Charlotte, are those children not gorgeous?! Little Joe is Kevin's clone! As far as recent Kevin photos go, I have to say the Premiere black and whites are my favorites.

Charlotte, I've seen nothing specific from the fanclub about Kev's birthday. I am expecting a winter newsletter though, so....who knows? I can pick up my videotape of The Making of the Postman anytime, Any luck with your pal Charlotte? If not, keep a close eye on television listings. I see it's being aired in my area again Friday night.

I printed out a listing of showing times and gave it to my friend who gets the E channel. He's pretty scatterbrained, but I nag him every day about taping it. :) Sheila, did you and your Kevin go see The Postman yet? Good to see you, Nan! We missed you!

Charlotte!! I just paid you a little visit and saw that too-delicious-for-words photo at the bottom of "t-shirt smiles". Merciful heavens!! Where did you get that one? It's really too, too beautiful. Lots of heavy breathing going on in this office today, honey ;-D

I just gotta share this. A friend found it on some fan page and sent it to me. Ain't it purty?

Charlotte, did you get the current issue of Entertainment weekly yet? The Postman is really being bashed badly. I even caught Jay Leno making jokes about it the other night. Is it that bad? (I'll never get Kev there with all these poor reviews)

Well, Sheila. I can't be objective, but I did not think it was that bad. The critics want to pigeonhole Kevin into his most successful roles, Bull Durham and Tin Cup. Unfortunately, those aren't the kinds of films he enjoys making. If The Postman had been made 20 years ago, it would have walked off with 11 Oscars. But it is out of place in our Pulp Fiction society now. EW talked about his ego and how inflated it is, but I am unable to accept that. He merely wants to make the kinds of films that he enjoys and that he can share with his family. And he has the power to do so, and uses it. I don't call that ego. I call it courage. I've seen The Postman twice. I was even less bored the 2nd time. The 2nd time, I looked for the subtleties, the nuances, and I was delighted with the richness of the cinematography. Dances with Wolves was long and pretentious in many ways, and had as much of Kevin's "ego" involved in it as does The Postman. But they loved it because it came as such a surprise. Bull Durham DIRECTS?? Outrageous! Then came Waterworld, which was not a bad movie, either. It just wasn't Bull Durham, so they trashed it. Titanic cost over 200 million, more than Waterworld. Where is all the bad publicity? You won't see it, because Jim Cameron is SUPPOSED to make big-budget movies...it's what the critics expect. Kevin won't play, and so he must be punished. I wish you were here, Sheila. We'd leave your Kevin with the kids and I would take you to see The Postman. P.S. Forgive the ranting. But if I can't vent here, where can I vent?

Picked up my videotape this weekend of The Making of The Postman. The actual title of the program is The Postman-A Director's Diary. If you get a chance girls, don't miss it! There are some great segments featuring the Costner kids. EW now has a website. You are able to browse articles from the last couple of years issues. There are some articles about Tin Cup and Waterworld that may interest you guys.

Sheila...GO SEE THE POSTMAN!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love Kevin's humor. I REALLLLLY want to see it again. I don't think I can wait for the video to come out. Charlotte...I love your website. Kevin's pictures are to die for. I'm terribly jealous that you've seen The Postman a second time already. I agree with your thoughts on Kevin's movies. He has the guts to make the movies he wants to make and refuses to be put into a "box". Too bad the critics can't see that.

Just for the record Charlotte, Pulp Fiction did nothing for me. I think you should post the very words you wrote here in response directly to EW's article POSTMAN MORTEM on their website. Did you see their latest? An editorial cartoon depicting precautionary measures for bird flu "Stop Kevin Costner from making TURKEYS for awhile" I guess the only positive thing about the response to The Postman is that we won't have to wait long for the video release. I found an interesting new website called "JANET'S KEVIN COSTNER HOMEPAGE" she has an interesting photo gallery - Have a look ladies!

If this is Janet Goh, she and I have been corresponding. She lives in the Philipines and is 17. She asked me, "Do you think it's weird for a 17-year-old girl to love Kevin Costner?" I told her that what I think is weird is that EVERY woman doesn't! Sheila, can you post the URL to Janet's page? And thanks for the compliment, Sheila, but I doubt that anyone would take my words about Kevin very seriously, given that I make it very clear I am unable to be objective where he is concerned.

Try this URL: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/9332/

hi ppl, wow..i did not know that there is such a great conference room about kevin costner. i'm more surprised to see that u ladies have found ur way to my website at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/9332 .gallery 3 is going to be up soon. btw , charlotte, i'm from Malaysia not the Philippines . can someone plz tell me what kev's favorite color is?

Here are some new ones ladies...(thanks Marilyn, dearest :-D) Isn't he lovely....

Is that the photo from PEOPLE? Looks like a proud papa to me! Hi Janet! Judging by your website you are going to fit right in here. As Charlotte would say...when it comes to KC we go off the chart. POSTMAN question: Does Kevin sing a duet with Amy Grant for the film?

hi ppl, sheila, thanx for the warm welcome .to answer ur question i saw somewhere that the song that kevin's doing a duet with amy grant is called you didn't need to be so nice and i think it's in the postman soundtrack .hey does anyone here know what kind of instrument kevin plays besides the guitar? does he play bass , lead , rhythm or just the plain acoustic guitar.i dun have that roving boy cd yet. pls post an answer soon .thanx

Taken from The Toronto Sun..... "YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY: SUNDAY JANUARY 18 Your charm and your determination will make you hard to resist this year. You will be able to cross over the line when dealing with others and still get away with whatever you really want to do. If you follow your heart and intuition, you will find peace of mind and the happiness you're looking for." What more could we wish him?

Oh, Sheila, that's lovely! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEVIN!! I am celebrating in my own little way today, since I am unable to send him my best wishes. Janet, I know very little about Kevin's personal life. Sorry. I'm funny that way where Kevin is concerned. But with other celebrities that I adore, such as Ralph Fiennes or Alan Rickman...I want to know EVERYTHING! :) Kevin is just too special to me. I want to give something back to him, and the only thing in my power to give him is my respect for his privacy.

Is that the photo from PEOPLE? Looks like a proud papa to me! Yes, that's the one from People. His kids are very pretty...good genes! ;-) Now that I see it, I should have reduced the size a bit--looks a little blurry. No matter, Charlotte will reduce it before putting it in her archives ;-) (Sheila) "YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY: SUNDAY JANUARY 18 (Charlotte) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEVIN!! Is it really Kevin's birthday today? Get outta town! What a bizarre coincidence. It also happens to be the birthday of that big, bald hockey brute I've mentioned before...do I know my type or what? LOL! But with other celebrities that I adore, such as Ralph Fiennes Oh, I didn't know you liked Ralph, Charlotte. Go to the Feinnes board--I left you a little pretty there ;-) http://www.spring.com/yapp-bin/restricted/read/drool/40/new

Went there before I came here, Nan. (I always save the Kevin stuff for last.) Ralph is a lovely thing, and can act circles around my Kevin. But the heart knows no logic, does it? :) But hey, we're here to drool! And Ralph makes me need a bib. Yup! Kevin is 43 today! I wonder how he is spending his big day.

Janet has Gallery 3 completed if anyone is interested! I must confess Charlotte, I think Alan Rickman stole the show from Kevin in Robin Hood. What a deliciously, wicked villain,

hi ppl, sheila..gallery 3 is up but not completed. more pics r to come when i have time ..maybe i'll put them up tonight. my site is now listed under YAHOO do a search on kevin costner and u'll see it.

Ladies, Janet sent me the most beautiful photograph. I love it so much it now reigns as the cover photo for my Web page. Go look. But remember to wear a bib! D-R-O-O-L!

I'm going to post this on all the boards since I know that many of you are having a problem with "new" posts... Sorry for dropping out if sight for a while--I've been remarkably busy this last couple of weeks. Hopefully, that is about to change for a while ;-) Anyone who had my office email may delete it from their address books as this is my last day at work (YAY!!) and that address will be disabled by the end of the day. I can now be reached at nan@ntr.net. You should use that one until Terry has a chance to change to the forwarding address on my Spring email (nan@www.spring.com) I'll catch up later people...sorry.

I'll set it up now, Nan.

Just doing a test, girlies...I'm sure you won't mind ;-)

Ladies, you see what happens when we don't keep our boy's drool conference busy? Nan takes his picture down! waahhhhhhh!

Nan takes his picture down! waahhhhhhh! LOL!! Actually I was working on a Kevin one for the front, but it didn't come out as well as Colin's so I have to put in a little more time on it. That picture out front isn't working anyway...takes too long to load. But I was tired of the b&w...I'll figure something out. Won't be long, dear. Do hang on! ;-)

I love you, Nan.

You crack me up, Charlotte! ;-D
