Maria Wayt Memorial Online Chat Log

Traci: Hi Everyone! I guess my best memory of Maria is she at her at the SOD awards.... And trying to MAKE her see that Eric was looking for her!

Rianne: sorry everyone but I have to go! Thanks for sharing your memories :-)

Fee: Bye Rianne

Felicity: bye Rianne:(

Mario: Bye Rianne! Goodnight!

LB: Night Rianne! Sorry you have to leave!

Leather: night RI

CJ: Night Rianne

Felicity: LOL traci!

LB: Sorry, Traci - continue, please!

Casey: Good evening all.

Traci: She had just FLOWN into our hotel room earlier and was talking a mile a minute...

LB: Hi Casey (on behalf of us all). We'll have SA hand off to you.

Araw: Hi Casey

Traci: and now it was all we could do to get her to understand what we were trying to say to her!

Traci: she was just so FULL of energy! She was the same at the luncheon...and so much fun!

Traci: CJ, I think is next?

Felicity: Traci, you were at the luncheon?

Felicity: oops, sorry:(

LB: Thanks, Traci. CJ, you'll hand over to Lisa please?

Traci: oh yeah

CJ: Ok, well like it's been said, it's hard to pick one particular thing, what I will remember most is her cleverness and thoughtfulness. She could always make me smile. One day thou

CJ: though I had just gotten ICQ and I couldn't get the sound for the incoming messages to work I think and I asked her to send me a message. I got it working, but then we got a little

CJ: little carried away and started sending messages wildly back and forth to each other, trying to annoy the other with that ICQ incoming message sound. Finally she said that she

CJ: thought it was time to end it. I think I sent a message back to say ok. But right away there was another message from her saying but it was so much fun. I really can't even

Felicity: LOL CJ:)

CJ: remember how we finally quit. Also, I remember when she sent me some Jake tapes, the first thing she wanted me to do was to fast forward it to the part with Jake in the pool so I c

CJ: (oops :-) so I could see Jake in a towel :-) Woohoo!

CJ: next...Lisa :-)

Felicity: WHOO HOO CJ! You have to send me that tape! LOL

LB: Thanks, CJ. Lisa, you'll hand over to Mario Please?

Lisa: OK I'm here.

Lisa: I meet Maria through her page in Oct. 96 after meeting the famous Tommy. She was the first person I met that was just as ecstatic over Tom as I was.

SA: Excuse me for interrupting Mario. Someone's at my door. THX everyone for sharing. (Hello Araw!) I've got to go. I am glad to have read all this stuff... Thx. LB. Good night, Maria!

Lisa: We've exchanged videos and pictures as she did with many. After a year and a half I finally got the opportunity to meet her.

Araw: Guys, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have to get going... Thanks so much for this, everyone. It meant a lot

LB: Night SA, from all of us!

LB: Night araw, from the gang!

Lisa: HYPER! So much energy as you have all said that have met her. She and her dad met up with a friend and me for a visit, do lunch, and the SOD Awards.

Lisa: I was asking her over lunch about some of you because I didn't chat that often and she gave me name, rank and serial number for all! What a hoot!

Lisa: The love of her life Tommy was how we met and I'm really glad! The funny thing I remember was I was so excited that I bought SOD tickets and emailed her right away. I forgot to

Lisa: tell her that I hadn't told my husband yet though. She sent a HUGE email about us meeting TOMMY in LA. That's how my husband found out. Anyway, I've just received the last pack of

Lisa: pics from her that she mailed 4 days before the accident, apologizing for the time delay. She signed Don't hate me, Maria. I never would she was wonderful! Over to you Mario.

LB: Thanks, Lisa. Mario, you'll hand off to Louise please?

Mario: (oh the pressure on me) Well, I never met her or talked to her but she was damn funny anyway. She'd threaten to beat me up, she'd make fun of 'typical males', and she'd annoy/amuse

Lisa: Oh and yes I saw all the camera equipment in LA too, Fel! LOL

me with her wild weird Tommy fantasies. Ahh, sweet memories. She was so wise.

Felicity: LOL Mario! I was here for some of that! LOLOL

Mario: And her extreme pride in her extreme shame! Unbelievable! LOL I remember her days of hiding from Lil (who somehow got to the chat room) with weird names like Xqique

Mario: And her story page for people to contribute to the story of Jake and Vicky's honeymoon in Rome. She'd give me super hard situations that I'd have to write myself out of.

Mario: She had the best spirit. I'm done, but there are more memories.

On to... (Is Louise still gone?)

Fee: I believe so.

LB: Thanks, Mario. Louise seems to be gone. Casey, could you pass over to Lexa afterwards please?

Fee: She didn't tell me bye so I don't think she meant to leave

Casey: ok

LB: Okay, we'll assume Louise has left, until she shows up again. Casey - on to you!

Casey: I never met Maria in person, only through the chat, emails and the phone. Of the many times we spoke one stands out as special.

Casey: It was in January 1997. Maria, myself, LB and were Alexa and Wendy part of it too? Had all had days that verged on the nightmarish. We started chatting. It turned into a

Casey: b8tch session, group therapy and a kind of group hug. We talked until 4 in the morning. Maria did bow out before LB and I but it was a night where I think that we got to

Casey: know each other. The next time we met in chat we were all exhausted but I think all felt the night before was well spent. You really get to know someone when

Casey: you spend the night with them (LOL) Do you remember that night LB? Maria came into my life when I was not able to go out and meet new people. She, and the chat and all the folks

Felicity: Guys, I have to go:( I waited until my mom threatened to pull the plug:) LOL

LB: Night Fel! From all of us!

Casey: I guess that is all for now. On to you Alexa.

Felicity: This has all been very cathartic, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for sharing:) Goodnight all, and be safe!

LB: Alexa - still here?

LB: Alexa's probably at work. How about I jump in, and then Lexa will follow me.

Lexa: ARGH! Sorry

Lexa: ARGH! Brb

LB: Lexa - go ahead! I'll follow you!

LB: Okay! I'LL GO! LOL Lexa - you follow me!

Fee: LOL

CJ: LOL

LB: I fell onto this chat in November of 96. And Casey, I remember those marathon nights - they were SO therapeutic! This poor gang had to put up with me dealing with Danielle's firs

LB: first serious boyfriend. We'd have done the greatest philosophers proud. I decided to be the black sheep and like RKK, and the very first night I was here, Maria was threatening

LB: to organize an air raid on my house because I had an autographed pic of Tom in my organ bench, and she was convinced that any RKK fan didn't deserve a Tommy pic.

CJ: LOL

LB: I remember the Herald, where, when you signed onto the chat, and said hi, Maria would answer 'hi LB, got an article? No? You have another 10 minutes'.... Oh what a blast and

Lana: ok, I tried not to interrupt but...ROTFLMAO about the black sheep thing =)

Donna: Hello

LB: what a masterpiece that Herald was. Every so often Maria would 'take over' AW and we would become directors, writers, etc. Mario became the water boy for the actresses...

Felicity: LMAO LB! Leather: Hi Donna

Felicity: LOLOLOLOLOL

Felicity: Hey Honey!

LB: Hi Donna! Welcome! I'll remember the phone calls that were just as long as our marathon chats, and the times we met. And contrary to the rest of you, she was quiet as a mouse the

Traci: Hi Donna CJ: LMAO sorry

Leather: I remember this I became Jake's little sister on the show LOL and she had Chris and my character is a best friend LOL

LB: first time I met her - her mother wouldn't let her get a word in edgewise!

Felicity: Well, I RREEEEAALLLY need to go before she DOES unplug it!

Leather: bye Fel

LB: That's those times. Maria was there for me through Danielle's pregnancy, and I was there for her, when she needed a shoulder. I will remember her for her laughter, which was so

LB: natural and sincere. Her smile lit up the Internet.

Donna: Night Fel

LB: Lexa - you still around? Your turn...

Lisa: Who's Danielle?

Felicity: beautiful LB. LOL! NIGHT!

LB: Danielle's my daughter, she used to come on here as Dani

CJ: night Fel!

Lisa: I'll email later, Fel. Night

Fee: If anyone wants to know I have a log of this chat back to Traci

LB: When Lexa can, I'm sure she'll join us, and share her memories. I'd just like to say thank you to all of you for your wonderful stories and your patience

Felicity: GREAT Fee! I want to see what I missed tomorrow:)

Felicity: God, she is going to hurt me.... I AM GOING!

LB: This has meant a lot to me, and has brought back some great times. This is how I want to remember Maria.

Lisa: Is Donna going to share?

CJ: good idea Fee! I had the same idea but I missed too much

LB: Thanks, Fee! Btw, Lou sends her regrets, as does Wendy.

Leather: does Donna get to talk?

CJ: Yes, it has meant a lot to me too, hearing all the stories, smiling and laughing. I am sure that this is how she wants us to remember her

Lisa: Wendy is at the Shania concert, I understand.

LB: Of course, Donna can talk!

Lisa: Go for it Donna, your turn.

LB: Lisa: Yes, she is.

LB: For some of you more 'senior' chatters, there were a few nights where everybody changed handles, and we all got hopelessly lost.

Lisa: If Donna isn't going. Fee I wanted to ask about MaryJane the doll. Is that how she got her logon name?

Mario: LOL LB. I was some kind of ninja.

Lisa: I think I'm always lost. Maria kept everybody straight for me. Now I'll need everybody's help. Bear with me.

Donna: I'm trying really hard to find one special memory but there were so many

Lana: I wish I had a copy of that Herald thing. That was so MUCH fun even if she had to kick my ass every time to get me to write

LB: Oh Mario that's right! Lil called us the Ninja chat, and we made Maria the head rat

Casey: I wanted to say that I know I missed some stories when I came on late. I want to tell you all that for the ones I was here for I feel privileged to have been able to listen to them

CJ: LOL I remember that

Fee: Yes she painted a picture of her mom's doll Mary Jane and took the name from the doll

Lisa: Lana are you the LanaBanana she told me about.

LB: Casey: It was sure a blast back then.

LB: Not that it isn't a blast now! Sorry! I just don't visit as long anymore (and my husband is grateful)

Lana: Donna, I know what you mean, but feel free to say anything =)

Leather: Donna, after you decide, I want to share one more memory LOL

CJ: We were the Ninja Turtles and Maria was Splinter

Lisa: I hear you LB. Mine has things to say sometimes too! Especially when it's hard to get up in the morning.

Lana: um, I think that would have to be me Lisa.

Fee: Lana I have a copy of my article that's it. I wish I had saved more

LB: CJ: That's right. What a hoot that was

LB: CJ: That's right. What a hoot that was

Donna: Its ok Leath you can go

Casey: LB, Maria and you guys helped me get over culture shock. And we don't seem to have as much time now. But it was fun almost watching the sunrise with you and Maria.

CJ: I will look, I think there was a link to one of the Herald's somewhere. Just a min

Pest: Hello everyone. That was lovely.

LB: Casey: Many, many sunrises! LOL

Fee: Guys tell me when you want me to quit logging this

Leather:ok Donna, I won't be long LOL

LB: Hi Pest!

Leather: Well the first time I ever talked to Maria on the phone she woke me up, my sister answered the phone and said 'Heather, one of your stupid friends is on the phone!' LOL Maria hear

LB: Thanks for doing it Fee. There are still a few Memories coming through, if you don't mind.

Lana: I don't even have that Fee. That was back in the Webtv days

LB: Oh no Leather! LOL!

Lisa: Who's pest?

CJ: And that day we were singing show tunes. And she said as long as you don't sing how do you solve a problem like Maria?

Fee: Okay I'll keep it up

Leather: heard that and said 'Heather, be grateful it isn't one of your smart friends on the phone!' LOL we talked for I am guessing LOL 2-3 hours I was even late for swimming lessons LOL

Casey: Guys, my husband has been happy that you were there. I lost some good friends when we moved and he couldn't help me. You all did.

Casey: And the Christmas carols, CJ

Leather: we talked about everything and anything! We talked about LOL the hairy chested men on AW LOL she was gagging at a few of the chests LOL but Tommy's was never one to gag at! LOL Since

LB: Lisa: Pest is my sister, Carol. She IS a Pest...

Leather: Since we had the conversation we got closer LOL

Donna: Oh guys I think you may want to know that Maria's family saw the memorial page

LB: Oh, Casey, those Christmas carols!

Lana: ROTF, I used to sing that song to her a lot!

Fee: Thank you Donna for telling me

LB: Really, Donna? Did they say anything? Fee did a wonderful job?

Leather: ROTFLMBO one time I remember she was saying she was going to tear all of Tommy's clothes off and in comes Eric LOL he said 'Tommy TOMMY TOMMY!' LOL Like Jan Brady would say LOL

Donna: Ok now you have me laughing for a change LOL I'm thinking about her X rated Tommy Christmas carols

Casey: And whenever Maria was down we would start Jake fantasies for her. They often got quiye ribald.

Leather: ok I swear I am done now! LOL

Traci: Thanks for letting me join in with you all! I have to run

CJ: LMAO Leath! Bye Traci!

Traci: Sleep well everyone

Leather: Bye Traci nice to meet you

Donna: Her sister in law Susan said they took a look at it and it was beautiful

Lana: Night Trac

Casey: Does anyone remember her Jake the pool cleaner fantasy?

Donna: Night Traci

Fee: I plan to send a copy of everything to them via snail mail

Donna: I do Casey, that was hysterical

Fee: Nope. I was hit and miss by then I think

LB: Night Traci - thanks for visiting

CJ: LB: remember us locking you in the attic? :-) And then I wanted Ryan in the attic so Maria suggested the car. I don't even remember how that got started. Who put K-Rock in the

CJ: garbage can?

Fee: Bye Traci

Casey: Then there was the night Maria and a bunch of us watched Lil get hers from some people from the Days (?) board. Maria was elated to see other people take Lil down quite a few pegs.

LB: Oh, the number of times I visited the attic. Or when Maria posted a wise-a$$ comment, he'd follow up with 'I know, LB, I'm dead'.

Fee: OH yeah I remember that. I was there. Oh No does Brenda know?

LB: I don't think so Fee.

Fee: Oh jeez.

CJ: LOL

LB: K-Rock put himself in the garbage can, accusing me of abandoning my son. Speaking of which, Maria started that family.

Lisa: I'm back, got knocked off.

LB: THAT family tree is quite something to behold.

LB: wb Lisa

LB: I don't think K-Rock knows either, Fee. Fee: Maria, Brenda, K-rock and I plus several other children of LB's

Lisa: I was still back at the hairy chests. Maria was not found of them at all, so Tom was good for her. That is Tom's only down fall to me. Joe's chest, WOW!

CJ: LOL I think you ended up with an awful lot of children LB

Fee: Yeah and K-rock was older than his mother was.

Lisa: Who else was at SOD? Traci and Lana?

LB: CJ: A bunch! And a niece (araw) and a granddaughter (Lana), and I forget how many more

CJ: I was LB's daughter too, I think

Lana: yeah, Trac and I went together

Fee: I remember that night. It was a night in Java b/c this type of chat was screwed.

LB: K-Rock's older than I am?

Donna: Ok Lisa now you're REALLY making me smile LOL

Lana: so funny that one of the older ones in here was a granddaughter G*

Casey: LB, I think K-Rock is in his twenties.

LB: LOL - I guess I had your mother (whoever that was) when I was 2

Fee: LOL and K-rock who said he was 60 was a son. LOL those were great memories

Lisa: You're into the hairy chests too Donna? What are you doing, doing Mark's page? No hair there! But a good body. You got that dark picture didn't you? Sorry

Lana: I wanna know whose chest she didn't like!

LB: Lana: You hit that one on the nose! She had preferences, but she liked them all

Lisa: Lana, are we talking Donna or Maria?

Donna: Well I'm not totally into them Lisa, but good lord I love Joe's LOL that man just does something to me Long Live Another World!

Donna: Actually Lisa she never did have a chance to send it to me

Casey: Didn't Maria think that Grant's was too hairy?

Lisa: Yes he is good! Joe and Mark would be a close second to Tom in my books!

Lana: just checking, cause my man had a little hair *G*.... I was talking about Maria

Fee: Yeah I think so I remember her talking about him looking like a bear or something

Leather: Yes she did Casey! LOL that is one we talked about LOL

Lana: Oh, doesn't EVERYBODY think Grant's is too much? LOL

Lisa: Email me your address Donna and I will mail it. It's not that great though, it's really dark.

Leather: the first time she called she said 'And grants chest, YUCK!' LOL I was cracking up

Casey: That's right Fee.

Donna: Maria thought Mark Pinter had a disgusting body LOL

LB: Just for your info, there were 17 of us in here tonight :-)

LB: And we ALL behaved! Maria would be amazed

LB: At us behaving, that is...

Casey: And she would wax eloquently about his eyebrows.

Donna: Oh and I also like the chest on that new guy Scott LOL, you haven't seen it yet but he has a hairy chest

CJ: that's a lot. It's a good thing that we didn't all speak at once then

Lisa: Grant's chest is fine. He's just cracking me up right now. I loved it when Cindi stepped on him and then the look he gave Donna when he lied. Priceless.

Lana: Fee, that night you wrote for Maria and myself will really be a treasured memory. Thanks for giving me that to share with her

Casey: And it didn't crash LB.

Fee: Oh the Fantasies I had so much fun with those.

Lana: LB, you were a fabulous moderator!

LB: I know, Casey. Somebody up there :-) was watching over us...

Lisa: The rest of Grant's body we can leave but the chest is OK. I thought Eric might be in here tonight.

LB: Lana: Thanks, but I'm not giving up my day job. That was work!

CJ: Of course. I remember how many times she said damn chat. She wouldn't let it crash

Leather: Lisa, I tried getting in contact with him, but I guess he never got the message

Casey: One night, on the Jake chat, Wendy and I teased Maria but working in as many swear words as we could into what we typed. We found that she had put in a substitution list for them

Lana: =) LB

Lisa: Donna what are you doing checking out Scott's body? You've seen him in action or what.

Fee: Guys I'll go through and edit the log and then put it on the memorial later

Leather: Lisa, I know he sends his love though

Casey: She got in on it and we had a great time. Like saucy children.

Donna: Sure have Lisa LOL He used to be on ATWT and they gave him lots of hot love scenes and shower scenes

LB: Wonderful idea, Fee. Those that couldn't be here will sure appreciate that.

Lisa: I'm sure he does leather. Maria always had wonderful things to say about him. She really enjoyed her 5-hour tour of LA in Feb with Eric and his wife.

Leather: LOL Lisa, she told me about that one-day

Fee: I'm sorry I didn't think to do it 'til Traci but we have several anyway

LB: It's still wonderful Fee.

CJ: Sorry guys, I couldn't find the Herald. It was still up quite a long time after we stopped doing new ones, but it's gone now

LB: Did you have the URL, CJ? I thought I saw the link on one of her pages

Leather: LOL I remember getting so excited about the herald LOL

Fee: The Herald has been defunct for over 13 months

Fee: I believe April 14th or so was the last one

CJ: I used a link from the AWFB page, which was how I got to it before

LB: That Herald kept a bunch of us up late many Sunday nights LOL

Lana: well Everyone, I am going to turn in..... Thanks for tonight. It helps =)

CJ: LOL yes

Donna: Night Lana

LB: I remember poor Lou would get all our stories to rewrite. She was great at it.

Leather: night Lana

LB: Night Lana. I'm glad you were here.

CJ: Bye Lana. Take care :-)

Fee: Welcome Lana

Casey: Night Lana

Lisa: Nice to finally meet you LanaBanana. Sorry it's under such circumstances.

Fee: Yes she was and that was before I really know any of you. I didn't know who was who

Casey: What will happen to this chat room now?

Lisa: I'm still learning Fee. Help me.

LB: I don't know Fee. There's a Sarah on the personals, is that the same person?

CJ: I don't know Fee

Donna: That's what I was thinking Casey

Fee: Lisa, I can't keep everyone straight even now.

LB: Casey: For now, it stays as is. One of us will get a new chat room going when this one stops, I'm sure.

LB: There's room on our server at the office, if it comes to that

Fee: I don't know all I can remember is a Sarah use to chat with us and then she went away for the summer and came back last fall

Lisa: For those that are comfortable with it. We should exchange emails, so when the room changes or whatever we can find one any other.

LB: I remember her, I'm not sure if they're the same person or not. If not, I doubt she knows

Fee: Guys I have a Java chat that's private if you want to use it

Casey: Good, I don't know how to do it since I don't have a web page, but I don't want to lose contact with you all. Maria set this one up after K-Rock so we wouldn't all lose contact.

CJ: has anyone checked to see if K-Rock's is still going? I lost the URL

LB: Absolutely Lisa. I have most of the emails now. If you weren't included in my email, email me, and I'll add you're to the list

Leather: guys I also have a Java chat room, on my Nadine page

LB: CJ: Wendy says K-Rock's is still up, but my URL won't work. I'll ask her when she comes back

LB: Absolutely Lisa. I have most of the emails now. If you weren't included in my email, email me, and I'll add you're to the list

LB: Thanks Leather. We also need this kind of chat room, because not everybody can access Java

Lisa: Fee it really helps with me if I can associate people with pages or where they live. I'm from Vancouver, BC if anybody cares. Wendy lives about 4 hours north of me but is here in

Casey: CJ, K-Rock's is defunct.

Leather: my URL won't work either GRRR

Casey: should be defunct.

Lisa: town tonight at the Shania Twain concert. I'm 30 and married with 3 kids.

LB: Lisa, I'm from Cambridge, Ontario, married 2 kids, and 1 granddaughter

CJ: Casey: It's finally gone?

Lori, Vincennes, IN Rachel and Carl fan

Leather: ok my turn! LOL I am almost 16 LOL from Colorado, no kids, LOL no grandkids LOL no great grandkids LOL

Whoops Fee: Lori Vincennes, IN Rachel and Carl fan

Casey: Well, I couldn't access it. It wasn't there. Maybe it is my server or something.

LB: LOL Leather!

LB: Me neither, Casey. I'll check with Wendy when she returns

Donna: My life is pretty boring LOL I'm 24 live in Brooklyn.if I think of something exciting I'll let you know

LB: Oh! Fee! The other night, I was looking for you! I wanted to smack you upside the head! LOL

Leather: well everyone else seems to have kids or grandkids LOL so I decided to say I have NONE! LOL

LB: LOL Donna! Living in Brooklyn should be more exciting than most towns!

Casey: Me, I'm originally from Toronto but live outside Buffalo now, 3 teenage sons, 1 husband (first and last) and a dog. No grandkids I know of.

Leather: LOL Donna, well Joey calls you baby

Fee: Why LB?

LB: Remember the night we chased that email post? I landed out subscribing to 3 boards, which give me about 70 emails a day. I was thinking of you :-)

Fee: LOL Casey

Fee: LOL

Donna: There you go Leath!

Fee: Hey I know a 4th

LB: Never mind Fee! ROTF

Fee: It's called our_aw

Donna, LOLOL! That's a plus right?

LB: Those 70 are over and above the 20 or so from work. Thanks, but no thanks

Fee: It's for fans that want to complain about AW without being told off b/c we aren't loyal fans

LB: I don't need my email complaining at me - I get plenty at home LOL

CJ: LOL

Lisa: What do you all think about Ellen Wheeler returning. I wonder how Tom enjoys working with the ex-wife?

Fee: I'm down to two. Jake's' and AW

LB: Well, unfortunately, I'm not in the Central Time zone... I want to thank you ALL for making tonight special. It wasn't easy to sit back and

Lisa: Fee is that a picture of you? It doesn't look like Maria.

LB: just read those wonderful stories without adding to them, but we did ourselves proud, and everybody had a chance to speak.

Leather: it's Maria Lisa

Fee: Welcome LB. Yes it's Maria. A self-portrait shot I think

LB: I'm going to head out. Night all, and thanks. This was special, for me.

Leather: Night LB

CJ: thanks so much for getting this organized and organizing us :-) I know it was a tough job ;-)
