I thought it would be fun, since I know we are all preparing for tonight, for everyone to say what they've done to be ready for this season. I'll start I slept in late today so I'll be able to catch as much of tonights live feeds as possible. In a few minutes I'll run to the store to top off my stock of Mt Dew and snacks. I've got a bin beside my bed for my snacks so the kids know those are my BB snacks (DO NOT TOUCH). The bin is sitting right next to my ice chest for the Dew. I've checked my realplayer and my BB Viewer to make sure they all work correctly. Setting up my folders where my screenshots for this season is also already to go. I've also double checked the wireless connection to make sure all is up and working as it should be and that my laptop battery is fully charged so I can move around the house if need be. I've also set everything up on the PC just in case something happens to my lap top. The cafe 1 mile through my house also has wireless internet if something happens to mine. The weather reports look like we should be good for tonight as far as storms. So I think I'm set. Okay off to the store for to top off. Oh I almost forgot. My name is Laurie and I'm a BB addict <giggle>

Well, I guess I was a little out of it. I didn't even know BB was starting tonight until I saw it on the TV listings on my yahoo homepage. OOPS! I am excited though - another BB season - yay! So now I'm downloading the appropriate viewers so I'm all ready for the live feeds.

Wow, I don't know if I want to read this thread after Behindamask's post. Girl you need therapy...hahahaha I'm into BB but not anything like that. I might get the 14 day free trial when there are 14 days left but that's the extent of getting the live feeds. I've learned they do take up too much of my time. I just come here and read all I need to know. GO TVCH YOU ROCK~

Behindamask, your post was hysterical !!!! I started getting a little nervous right before BB starts because I know it drives my husband crazy. I still need to buy a good headset but I can never watch as much as I'd like to when he is around ! I am a bit of a "closet" watcher. My friends have no idea how much I really watch !

Part of my is ready and the other isn't. I unfortunately read other posts while I'm at work, so I don't get as much done as I should when BB is on. I can't wait for the show to start, but I need to find a balance with work.

We have done nothing! No feeds yet, which we do every season. My husband seems like he could care less after last season.

LOL Karuuna. I often wonder how the MODS here feel just knowing IT is all fixing to start and will be non stop modding for months. We try to be good but I know we push the line and get carried away at times. It has to be tough being a mod during BB. Thank you all though for a wonderful place to come and share this experience we call BB Addiction. Got ready for this by: getting my real player all set up, warning family and friends of my unavailability for anything except REAL emergencies, plan my work schedule around evictions. Made a promise to myself and have a plan in place to hopefully not gain wt again during this BB. (which meant I loaded up on healthy snacks) I think it is going to be good this season, I can't wait...only 4 more hours! Let the madness begin!

Hmmm good question. Well, once dh is back from the baseball game, then we're going to visit mom in the nursinghome, then we're going out to dinner, so I'm HOPING we'll be home in time. Otherwise, I hope to catch in on West Coast (Vancouver time) later tonight!

Well this is my first year for the feeds and I think I have over done. I have real player and Reloader. Which one is better, I guess I will find out. Last year I was not able to walk so I watched BBAD at Daughters house where I stayed. I don't have premium channels at my house so thought it would be cheaper to get feeds. Also I can stay up all nite, now that I am on disability. OHHHH I am so ready, that is if I know how to work all these feeds I am signed on to now.

I had my nap.. will order delivery food for dinner here shortly... Bring it on, I'm ready.. no live feeds though, had them a couple of years way back, but living in Ohio you have to stay up all night to see some action. So I watch the show and read everything else here. My house is already a disaster anyway as my daughter is heading back to Australia in just over a week.. she was here for a year, and then all of a sudden decides she wants to go back to her father.. bad move on her part considering why she left there in the first place.. oh and she is 15 and will be traveling alone..

Vic, Sherbabe is correct I am in St Marys OH, not far from Wapakoneta (Neil Armstrongs birthplace). Sherbabe, I was in Covington KY last week seeing my favorite band. Mssas.. her and I had everything that could go wrong on the trip to here last year.. we have her on pretty much direct flights.. she is a very mature 15yo & looks 19 (who doesn't share my BB passion lol though) Qantas are aware of her traveling alone. It was an interesting show last night.. still wondering about only 13 though. Had to explain the live feeds to daughter.. since she stays up most nights she said if she was into it, she would watch them lol

I did not get the live feeds last season, and missed quite a few episodes early in the season. Although I know I probably had a distorted vision of the people on the show, I found I did not miss getting so involved. Not sure how much time I will invest this season. I will watch tonight and see if the people interest me. The twist last season just turned me off big time. I did not like the people being tied to someone they had no choice in. I perfer the houseguests to make their own foolish mistakes and live and die by their own decisions. Are we sure there will be no twists with the houseguests this season? I have just not seen anything about it.
