Since we will all be glued here for basically the entire next 3 months,lets take a second and get to know each other!! Nothing too detailed of course,lotta crazy people out there,and I dont mean just us. :-) Seriously guys and girls,why not introduce ourselves? I'll start,I'm Lori,I am married to a great guy going on 15 years.Have 2 daughters,11 and 12.My husband had a stroke in March at the age of 36,stopped smoking cold turkey and scared me to death!! My 11 yr old had a partial hysterectomy in May after a tumor was found when she was having a CT for appendicitis,luckily it was benign and other than being minus an ovary,she is wonderful!! The 12 yr old is typical,MoOdY!!..At any rate,I know I've said too much,but lets face,life is short and we all need friends to get us thru it!! Glad to meet you all!!

Lori where would be the right place? I saw your post and was like YAY. I always feel like an outsider because everyone knows everyone so well, I don't. When hubby is home I don't get to get on here as much and for the past few seasons he's been home. If you don't mind, I'll post my intro here too and if the moderators want to move it to the right spot they can:-) Although I've looked all over and can't find that right spot LOL, maybe I should put my glasses on <giggle>

Okay so I'm Laurie, married to a Navy man for 19 years. We have a 19 year old and 14 year old daughter. My 19 year old has graduated and I'm ready for her to move out on most days. My 14 year old is a type one diabetic and getting so excited about going to high school next year. She just cut off her hair and dyed part of it pink!! Can we say she likes to express herself LOL. I'm what they call in between jobs. Lost my job of 2 years due to company restructure in December and after 4 months found one through a temp service but that one didn't pan out so after 10 weeks I'm out looking again. So until I find a job or we can't pay for the light bill I'll be on here well except for about 3 weeks where I'll have to lay low while hubby is home in between commands. Glad to meet you all:-)

Hi all, I'm Victoria and a 57 yr old disabiled old woman. Had a knee replacement in '06,then 1 yr. later had an infection and they had to remove the hardware. Then had 2 have my leg fused at the knee and now unable to bend my right leg. But I am here to keep up with everything. Got the feeds this year for the first time. I don't post much but like to read all the good posters and read the updates. Before I worked for a mens Max. prison tn the foodservice dept. The inmates loved BB and I found I could come here and find out what happen before it was on t.v. They were going and making bets on who would win certain things like who would be put up. Had to stop that because I could have been charged dealing with inmates. Oh well that is in the past. Now I can stay up all night and watch live. Sorry, this old lady is running on to much. Nice to be here this year.
Victoria, Ohio

Hi Everyone and Welcome! You are at a most wonderful board for Big Brother! I've been at this board since season 2 and have loved every minute of it! Finally a few seasons back I had enough of just reading and decided to start posting here and there. I couldn't imagine Big Brother without this board.

My name is Pascha. I am married now for 14 years and have 2 boys ages 14 and 11. I live in Texas, in the country. My husband lives and works about 3 hours away from us in what was supposed to be a temporary arrangement and now we're trying to figure out a way to get us all back together again without going broke. My mother has moved in with us and she also is a huge Big Brother fan! We are eagerly anticipating Sunday night and the next couple of months of sleepless nights and never-ending munchies, lol.

It's nice to meet you all and I look forward to posting and chatting with you.

Hi, I'm Laura. Just got married in May but we've been together for 10 1/2 yrs. I have 2 kids 20 yr old son & 18 yr old daughter. My son lives on his own. My daughter lives at home and is going to Paul Mitchell beauty school. She graduates in Oct. My husband is doing an adult adoption for my daughter.
I have Meniere's disease, which is making it hard to find a job. I haven't worked in 4 yrs.
I just love TVCH. It's the best board with the GREAT people. I've been here since the 2nd season.
It's great to meet you all.

Hi everyone!! I'm Bonbon! I have been watching BB since season 1 ... (Dang I liked that season where they had week long challenges and had to work for their food... but I digress) I am a single mom with 4 wonderful kids... Ages 15, 13, 11 & 10. We like to watch BB as a family, but boy the last season kinda put a damper in that family time... I live in California so I am lucky to be in BB time zone... Well sorta, the HG's stay up way later than I do...

Lori... great idea for this thread, every season is new and I think it is a great idea to introduce our selves to each other whether a new poster or a seasoned one...

Good Morning...I'm Carrie. I'm 30 and live in the Great Lakes Region of PA. I have watched BB since season 3. My in-laws got my husband and I into watching it. They have watched every season. I found TVCH about 3 season ago by 'accident' and have been back every season since, mostly just to see what's going on. I didn't start to post until last season.

I have a 5 year old daughter. My husband and I have been married for almost 9 years. 5 weeks before our wedding I was diagnosed with Borderline Malignant Ovarian Cancer, I had one ovary removed at that time. Just last year I had to have a complete hysterectomy. Can you say "HOTFLASHES" at 29???

Thanks, Lori, for coming up with this idea. I think it's a great idea.

Taysmomcj I can say HOTFLASHES, but I am just a tad bit older than you (I will be 46 in October)

Nessietessie good luck with your biopsy, I had the same scar a year and a half ago. Thank goodness it was nothing, but I do understand your concern.

As for me I have been a Big Brother fan since the beginning of time and found this site by accident as well. I love this site. Very easy to find things.

Hi there! I'm Erin and from PA. I found this site in the 2nd season but have had to change my screenname a few times (can never remember passwords!). I teach in an alternative education school and have an 11 year old daughter who used to be allowed to watch BB (last season killed that). Anyway - can't wait for Sunday for this to start!

Great thread!

Hi All!

I was lucky enough to find this site in S1, and have been here ever since. It's the best BB site on the net!

I live in Orlando, and my claim to my 15 minutes of fame is that I met DR. WILL at the Southern Women's Show in Jacksonville in 2006!

I'm looking forward to this season and chatting with all of you!

Hi - I'm Jane from OK. I'm 55 and I don't have hotflashes instead mine are called power surges. I've been a BB fan from the start and love TVCH and just lurking and reading what others think. Looking forward to the new season.

Hi I'm Shelly and live in OK I don't have hot flashes but it is because I take hormones (I thought it would be best for my hubby lol) I had my hysterectomy in november 2005 after many years of pain. I have been married to a wonderful man for 10 years after being a single Mom of 1 son for many years. My son is now soon to be 26 and is a wonderful young man he is in the national guard and has served his country overseas twice now and has returned safely both times. He is married and has one daughter she is the love of all our lives! My son and daughter in law are fans of BB also, my hubby is kind of a fair weather fan. lol My son and I love TVCH I found it and and let him in on the secret. lol
Let's hope this is a great season! Ok I KNOW I have rattled on ENOUGH!

Hi, I'm Patti from Louisiana and I LOVE BB. Have watched BB since season one and while I try to break the addiction every year, I just can't. I can't seem to find any support groups to help me break the addiction, so I come on here with all my fellow BB addicts and feel at home. This is a great site, with people who accept that it's OK to agree to disagree. Glad to meet everyone and while I don't post a lot, I do read as much as I can. I am recently divorced. I have a wonderful 16yr old son who is now as addicted to BB as I am. He gets so mad that I come on here and read what's happened and then tell him before the show. I've promised not to do that this year. But I'm not very good at keeping secrets. Come on Sunday.

Folks, just as a word of warning...

There are areas on TVCH that can be viewed by members only. The Big Brother area is NOT one of those areas. Public viewing areas are searched and cached by all major search engines, and may literally be in cyberspace FOREVER.

Please be very cautious about posting personal information on ANY message board!

Thanks for the words of wisdom Karuuna.

I am Debra and I am 29 plus 17, lol. I work for a non profit interfaith group that does advocacy work for the poor.

I have a son who puts up watching bb with me when he is home. I also have my wonderful Cali (see profile pic) who is going to be 8 this year. My Mom is also a fan but she doesn't get the feeds so I inform her of the other goings on.

I mainly lurk and post screencaps. I can't wait for Sunday!
