What i never figured out is what happened to emma... she was the main attraction in the scenes before her first birthday and then she just disappeared

and what about ben? he disappeared after emma was born!

in 1 of the first seasons gunther asks rachels when is ur birthday and she tells him and ross says o my birthday is december.... and then gunther says what ever!! but later in like season 9 when he brakes his thumb he says is birthday is october 18

beside Carol and Estelle, Frank Buffay jr. Makes a pass as a thief in a season1 episode

she doesnt tell the 'underdog got away' story to paul the wine guy. she tell the story when she goes on the double date with joey's exgirlfriend and her "brother".

yes! thats one of things i found about rachel and how she met the other friends...it was always different in different episodes

i dont think he ever says that but if he does-which i didnt hear- i think he means by earlier when he "dropped" his pool ball beside her...uno maybe

what does TOW mean?

It stands for "The One With"
All Friends episode titles start with "The One With..."

In TOW Ross Moves In, Rachel tells neighbour Danny that she's going to a regata gala, but that she doesn't sail.

In a later season, Rachel teaches Joey how to sail the boat he bought at an auction.
