Simple updates. (I posted examples earlier but they "disappeared"...ahem) Eg. Jesse won HOH. POV was not used. etc. etc. i.e. The way the Important Happenings thread has always been until this season. What we have now in that thread is LF updates. People who work or have little time need something like the old thread.

Thank you for starting that thread Bee, but we are going to remove it as all of that information that Holly mentioned is already included in the table at the top of the Important/Interesting/Entertaining House Happenings (No Discussion) thread. Very easy to find.

Okay, Jimmer. No problem. I guess it will take a while to get all of this running smoothly and cohesively for everyone.

Thanks for doing that Bee! I'm glad you finally pointed out the table at the top, Jimmer. I'd never have noticed it as I access threads through the 'new messages' list.

It is a derogatory racial slur against Hispanics, stemming from the idea of eating beans.

Ah, I've been gone from Cali too long. I've never heard that expression before. I like beans. A lot. Guess that makes me one too. I'm okay with that. Thanks Beek.

LOL, I am from NJ and I never heard it. I thought it was something like getting beaned in the head and then being stupid afterwards.

So at the top of the Live Feed NO DISCUSSION thread can you add links to the youtube and twitter? or are we just twits that cant remember where to find things? I was thinking about this as I found a youtube of the fight with Braden and Lydia - but I figure it will be posted on our own youtube thread... (and I'm just thinking outloud online outloud that is!)

No Reader...I believe Holly was referring to IMPORTAANT house happenings, who is playing in POV, who is nominated, etc. We used to have a thread where just those things are posted, but now it seems that some of the posts from the live feed discussions are being duplicated over there. But Jimmer explained the chart at the top of the page so that may help some.

That's what I've always thought a beaner was...from Boston or Bean Town as it's called.

Well, being in California here, I can guarantee you that when it's said out here, ain't nobody thinking about Boston.

It is totally a racial slur meant to indicate someone of Hispanic origin (NOT necessarily an immigrant). While the original word may have meant "throwing a ball at someone's head" I've know what the slur has meant since I was a very little girl. And it had nothing to do with Boston!
