My fondest memory? The start of the Ex Files. We burned that thread up for a while, didn't we?

CoCo that was so fun! I remember your knee was bothering you too but you were a BBAngel and a trooper I love reading all of these, I must post some of mine but when I tried last night I was overwhelmed... I will try again soon. One of mine is of course meeting Ocean_Islands. I was so nervous and excited at the same time. He is such a TVCH 'rock star' to me and a good friend. He will always hold a special place in my heart. He is sooooo handsome too

I found TVCH during BB1 when I did a search for BB. Well, I went to the cbs site and that board was really bad. So I did another search and found BB Fan Club and that was it for me. I never went anywhere else. I lurked here all summer. Then BB2 came along and for the life of me I couldn't remember what this place was called! So here I went through the searches again and finally found it. YAAAA! But, I was still too new to any message board to say anything, but I loved reading every word. I started feeling like I knew some of you just from your posts. I finally got up the nerve to post near the end of BB3 because I just couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer! LOL But, I didn't post much at first, but I did find my way into chat rather quickly and that's where I met some folks that made me feel so welcome and helped me out with chat and posting and all kinds of things. Draheid really helped me alot and I think he could tell I felt a little lost so he adopted me! I can't tell you how thrilled I was! At the same time I had gotten a lot of chatting time with Lance and he became like a brother to me so I asked Dra if he'd adopt Lance too so we could be siblings...and Dra DID! Now I had a dad and a brother! Both of which I sorely needed at the time in my real life. And Jmm! Wow! What a perfect match for Dra! She welcomed me right in also! I think the next person I got to really know in chat was Spy and well, what's not to love about that girl? She's so special to me not only because of chat but other things also which I'll get to in a minute. I loved having the funniest times in chat with Dra and Jmm, Lance, Spy, Geo, Merlin, Mocha, Reiki, Flint, Juju, GAL, Granny, Hippy, Wargod (lots of late night chats with Wargod when it was just she and I in the room), oh gosh, I know I'm leaving out tons of people but I just fell in love with all of them. They made me feel so welcome and that I really had new friends. Real friends! I couldn't wait to meet these great people! And I loved even more every one of them I met. One of the best times of my entire life was my trip to NYC with Reiki, Schoolmarm, and Spygirl. Those 3 wonderful women will always be very special to me. Their caring for me when I got a little sick (you've never seen 3 women move so fast to get me into A/C and get me water and a banana), Reiki letting me share her bed one night when I didn't have one, and the most fun times EVER!!! While there we met up with Ginger, who I fell in love with immediately, and Bastable and OI, both of which I adore. They are fantastic guys. Bastable was so sweet to suggest that they all walk me to the right subway station and they did! What a great trip that was for me! Oh, and I spent the night at Reiki's going up there and back and we had a blast staying up waaaay too late! LOL Another great time was when Marm came to our home and spent the night with us and she and my DH and I went to the Toronto Museum to see the James ossuary. That was awesome, in fact we did that whole museum and it was great! Back home another night Marm and I sat up late and talked and talked and talked some more. I felt like I had known her my whole life! She's come to our home a couple of times and we always look forward to it. She's so sweet and so fun! Secretsmile and her son and fiance have also come for a visit and they were a delight! We had a great time talking! She is such a doll and just so fun to be around! Also, our dearest and most favorite Sponge, Bob, came to our house with his whole family and we all watched Survivor and ate pizza and took some great pics! I have to admit though that I was quite a bit embarrassed because it was about 96 degrees and I had no A/C. I had lots of fans going but I'm afraid it didn't help very much. But, I loved having them there and he has a wonderful family and he is a very funny guy. We got hubby to take some very funny pics of Bob and I holding axes looking like we were swinging them at each other. LOL He's a great sport! The next meeting of TVCH folks I went to was my beloved Spy's wedding in TX. I told hubby i was going and I didn't care what it took and he didn't even blink. He knows how I feel about Spy. I love her dearly. She's like a daughter, a friend, a therapist all rolled into one. How could I possibly miss the most important day of her life? Nope, I was going! And boy am I glad I did! I met LOTS of TVCHers there! But I have to admit I was most anxious to meet my brother, Lance and my dad, Draheid and his darling wife, Jmm! And of course little Melodie! I can't name off everyone else I met there because there were so many but I loved them all!! How could that be?? Every single one of them turned out to be just as great in person as they are here! Not a single axe murderer in sight! LOL That was the most fun weekend! There are a few that I shared a few special moments with and you know who you are so just know I think of all of you often and miss you all. Now, I have to say aomething about the people here at TVCH in general. They are a very caring, compassionate bunch. When my hubby and I lost our jobs around the same time and were losing everything one certain person in particular sent us money every so often and that helped us more than I can tell you. I won't say who the person was because I was asked not to but know how much you are loved by hubby and I both. Also, around that time my mother died. Hubby and I had no idea how to come up with the money for gas to drive down there in a hurry. Well, TVCH came through in a big way. They told me how to set up a paypal account and the money came pouring through from so many of you immediately. I just broke down crying. The caring people here are amazing. That meant so much to me and to my darling husband and we've paid it forward a few times when others here have been in need. He's only met a few of you but he knows and appreciates just how special you all are and what you mean to both of us. He may not post (only twice, I think) but he hears all about your lives and what's going on with you and he really cares. I've gotten mad a couple of times over the years and went off in a huff but I always came back pretty quickly because I love this place. There is NO other place like it and its the people that make it so special. I've cried a few times typing this but its been good reliving my time here.  to all of you!

To Moonie.... I had forgotten about my knee pain. And there you were, giving me advice on what to do for my discomfort. You know what else I remember about that day? As we were in your MoonieMobile, heading over the "hill", be were talking a mile a minute about the BB1 players and then in unison we turned to each other with wide eyes and yelled out "Hardy!!" Did I ever tell you that I met the TVCH 'rock star' too? In Chicago....and he probably doesn't remember me, but I sure do remember him. Along with being handsome, gentle persona comes to mind. I kept taking a peek at him without him thinking I was a stalker and in my mind, I kept thinking "how am I going to get my beautiful dd to meet this gentle soul?"

*humbly steps up to the podium to accept the "The Poster Who Changed the face of TVCH Award".... I'd like to thank my Web Professor, without whom I would not have been able to win this prestigeous and coveted Award... Seriously tho, thanks for the recognition Juju... I remember thinking I was in so much trouble because I was filling up the server space with all the pictures and gifs...LOL... But the appeal of going into your personal folder and finding gifts of flowers, hearts or dogs hanging from trees was just so strong...the idea just caught on!! Wow...I also didn't realize you noticed I was gone. Had a rough couple of years...job changes, separation, pending divorce...normal life angst....Its nice to know my absence was noticed. OH YEAH... another favorite TVCH moment... ...When TVCH Members threw toilet paper over BB's fence...anyone remember who those members were?

Huh- I remember a lot of this (except the meetings of couse because I wasn't at any...)- I can't believe two archives in and I'm pretty sure the Sock thread hasn't yet been mentioned!!! Okay- I came around in BB1 at the very, very beginning when the show just started. I remember the previews for BB and I was so excited about the idea of the show- thought it was an awesome concept. So immediately I went online and looked it up- I was here but at first I probably just read a little- I signed up first as Cheesehead but posted so very little that no one could possibly remember that name. I didn't bookmark the site right away- I think I just thought it was kinda cool, then I forgot about it, then I came back and I don't know if my old name expired (seems unlikely given my start date is during the summer still of taht year), if I forgot the password I used, or what but I resigned up using my name and here I am. In the beginning, I spent a lot of time in Games. I remember one night playing one of the word games with Lance for the longest time ever and writing a little bit meanwhile- so Lance was the first one here that I eally communicated with- before that my posts were just comments. I think I've mentioned this story before. I remember writing about it- it still sticks out in my mind. In my mind I think I'm a much more frequent poster than I am- because I'm here reading all the time. I kind of take the summers off from posting because it gets so busy- I prefer to wait until the post-BB dust settles, then come out again. I was adopted by Coco 1/23/2004 09:58 am- we've negelected the family thing lately but that's fine. Later I adoped Eeyoreslament and Jeep and have been an even worse, more neglectful mum. Do you know I didn't even send Eeyoreslament a birthday greeting (but I did in my update!)...terrible, terrible! Ummm- the adoption thing is what got me talking to Eris (she would be my sister). And dang- thanks to Legalboxer and her adoption chart!!! to keep track of it all! There were a few times when I've wanted to quit TVCH. At the time a lot of people were huffing off to the point that jokes were made about huffing off- I didn't even want to huff off- I just wanted to leave...to stop coming here. I'd felt left out, like an outsider to all the groups and couldn't figure out why I kept posting and reading here when I felt like no one really gave a damn if I came around or not. I thought about (but never did) stopping posting to see if anyone "loked" for me on the board. I was a part of the early threads where there was talk of the cliqueyness of the board. I was never mad about it- I did acknowledge that I felt it was there though and that I believed it was a lot to do with the number of in person meetings. Anyway- I never left, I've never had to re-register. I have a few people here I talk to more than others but you know- it's a reflection of my life because I don't hang out with a lot of people in person either. In my "real life" I only have about 3 non-family people who I consider good friends so why should I expect to be Miss Popularity here? Plus, uh, look back to my fourth paragraph- I don't think I post as much as I think I do. One thing that made me feel good though was one of those Which Posters Would You Like to Meet in Person threads. I have never liked those type threads- they always feel like a popularity contest and it seems the most proficient posters are the ones that make the lists most often (being most well known)- I just think those threads have the potential to hurt feelings so I've never participated in them. But I have ead them. Imagine my shock when I saw my name in at least three people's lists- I think Coco, Jbean, and Eris. That made me feel really good because I think all three of those women are awesome and I think I would adore them in person as much as I do on the board. Out of curiosity one day I decided to TVCH-Google myself (my name in search looking in the text of messages)- what was I doing in Juju's folder??? What was Tess saying about me and how could she possible have so much to say about me??? HUH?! So I went and looked and there they were- the original editions of Tess's Tales! How cool was that- I read them all then came back each day for more. Then they went public! Loved them! That was back when it was all Tess- she wanted some days off and I think people were scared to step up and try to fill her shoes, add their own touch, etc- you don't tamper with perfection! Slowly a few brave souls took over a day here and there. Everyone's updates were wonderful- I wanted to try too! It took awhile for me to get up the nerve, but I love doing them. I hope they become as popular as they once were- remember the calender being full every month? Daily updates? Now it's monthly. It's so hard to do in the summer though- with BB frenzy and the rest of the board coming to a near standstill. Is anyone but Wargod in the Facts thread regularly throughout the summer?? I don't think so- she is dedicated! There are a few other posters that come immediately to mind- HP I didn't associate with much when she first joined. I actually thought she was just too nice and must be fake or hiding something because people just aren't that sweet all the time. Nope- I believe now she really is that nice of a person. There are more people here that I haven't really written a lot with/to but who I think are great and I always click when I see their names. I'm not naming names, only because that way you never know- you may be one of those people I always want to read! I don't want to leave anyone out, so I'm leaving you all out! Well, I suppose that's about it for now. I gotta go catch up on what people are saying about last night's Survivor!

So THAT'S what happened to Cheesehead! I remember Cheesehead, because I am a Yooper and as soon as I saw that username...I knew exactly where you from and laughed right out loud! You were my childhood next door neighbor in geographical terms! All this time I was thinking that you had just gone away...and you were right here in front of my nose. Kali, just for the record, I am one of those who would miss you if you were gone. Again because you are from Wisconsin, a place near and dear to my heart, I always check out what you have to say...and when you post pictures of your trips, well, you make my day! And thank goodness for your updates! I know I am really bad about not posting update thank you's. But I really love the updates (It gets kind of redundant posting thank you's all the time) and I especially appreciate it when you take time out of your busy life to do one, especially when there hasn't been one in a while. And thank you to Kep! One of the nicest surprises I've had here was when someone (I think it was Heyitslori but not 100% on that) posted a picture of Mario Lemieux in my folder. I used to go there everyday to check out that smile! Then someone "Wargodded" my folder and my Mario was lost forever. And thank you Lance for creating this thread and letting all this stuff come to light!

I feel loved! LOL! Using Kep's picture posting skills.... Loving when I finally figured out formatting posts and actually learned the codes instead of looking at Gail's handy reference sheet all the time!!! Shocked that old Cheesehead is remembered- I couldn't have posted all that much under that name...but maybe- it was a long time ago!

Some of the things that stick out for me 1. Fly passing away, she touched me so much and when I read about it I sat here bawling, my Dh came in and I remember thinking he is going to think I am stupid for crying over someone I have never met....he just looked at me and sincerely said 'I am so sorry' I think I fell in love wiht him all over again that day. Ironically, it was Fly that helped me with ideas for his retirement party 2. DOing the Revlon run with Moonie..she was my first tvch meet...I couldnt believe how we got along! It was like we were high school years long friends....and I am happy to say we still are!!! 3. TVCH heping me thru lonely times during Bil's deployment and the support during his 9-11 one 4. Meeting Weienermr at the Deaf charity event and meeting Survivor Christy...I was amazed at what a handsome and charming man he was/is 5. The long bch meet....too many fun memories to list....so many great friends made that day...all of which I am even closer to today! after this meet is when Bill saw what I saw and joined the next day!! 6. Adven;s games 7. Bob;s survivor game and the bond Mojo, hip, reiki, and I made as Wenches!! along with the other honorary wenches! 8. Vegas meet....again so many friendships made, many friendship reinforced..so many fun stories 9. the love and compassion of everyone here 10. Half stealing Dopey...Sea kidnapping him 11. starting my first thread and seeing ppl post in it....'ding dong no more pagong' 12. first mod email...I was so scared so much more.........

Wow, I just noticed that I joined TVCH exactly 5 years ago today. I was a lurker for a year before that. For the longest time I was here just for BB and Amazing Race and Survivor. About a year ago Rupertbear convinced me to go to Rabbit's Animal Farm. I had been there a couple of times but found it confusing. This time I stuck it out. I was met and welcomed by a cat named Chessie and her friend Aly. I stuck around to keep them out of trouble and to protect a poor old goat that lived there. The farm is my favorite place and that is where I feel most comfortable. I am debating about how much more I should say. At some point I realized that some posters felt like friends to me. I couldn't understand how it happened. I looked forward to seeing their posts. I cared what they had to say.I don't get close to people in my "off the board" life. I have shared my feelings more here than anywhere else. I am not one of the major players but those who are have been nice to me. Thank you all. I may share more later.
