This has been such a fun thread to read. I'm a 43-year-old, married, work-at-home medical transcriptionist with 2 kids, a boy 17 and a girl 7. Like some of you, I'm still wondering how this show hooked me so completely. I know for sure without this fan club and all of you who posted so faithfully and transcribed the live feeds so well, the ride would not have been so fantastic. Oh, one last thing....GO EDDIE!! <g>

I am single, white 30 y.o. female. I live in a college town in Tennessee. No kids but 5 cats - one of whom is not litterbox-trained despite all my efforts and is driving me crazy with the pee and the poop. Any suggestions from Cat-Lovers?

Although I have a couple of advanced degrees in Psychology I work at a Marketing job that bores me.

My semi-annual review is coming up in two weeks and I live in fear that my boss will tell me that because I spend all day, every day on the internet at BigBrother sites I no longer have this Marketing job that bores me.

I take 40 mg of Prozac but I think it should be at least 60 mg.

I think I should drink more and smoke more pot but I never get around to it.

I am the youngest of 3 children and think that explains alot.

I am a Saggitarius for those of you who care about that sort of thing.

My hair is blond my eyes are green and I really need to get laid.

I am 48 years wise, have two grown sons - both over 6'6" and hotties. I am a writer and since BB has been on the web my phone is never available for my agent. This is a point of contention I am ignoring until BB is over. Besides I am manic depressive and after BB is over I can go off meds, hit a manic state and do my rewrite in two weeks. (I've done it before. It works!) I would love to be able to follow the hgs on a daily basis after they leave the show. It would be interesting, wouldn't it? Even more interesting would be to follow all of you folk going through your withdrawal symtoms. Oh gee, I guess that includes me.

Gonnagetfired, read the last line of your profile. I knew there was a reason that I've always loved Tennessee. I'd be happy to accomodate you, but I live 2000 miles away. Maybe if I hurry I can catch the last flight out.

I am 52 years old and married with 2 adult children from the west coast of Canada. I was a R.N., but left that to be in a business with my husband; he has done very well with all the "time off" this past few months. I have to keep him up to date; sounds fair to me, right? Grateful for all those who provided the live feeds and for all the comments on the message board. This group has proven there still can be some fun in life. Enjoy your break before the next BB show comes.

Better late that never!

I'm 45 years old, married 20 years and live in Oklahoma. I work in a factory, but I've been off on medical leave for the past six months.
I had a mastectomy, and four rounds of chemo. But I'm doing great, and I'm returning to work on Monday.

I wish I would have found this board sooner!!
But I'll be here for BB2!!

Zelda, I've already been invited down to Tennessee to visit Gonnagetfired for some naked trampolining. Since you're in Memphis, I might as well kill two birds with one stone (if there's a double entendre in there, I'm not clever enough to have intended it). Just let me chow down on a couple of bowls of Wheaties first.

Woo I'm a bit late for this one . . sooo . .

Originally from Pittsburgh -- I'm "The President" -- in all honesty that's my nick name. Has to do with a strange incident that occured during a drinking game. [No, not that!] I'm a 19 year old intern, interning as a Production Assistant for a local TV station -- which means I get coffee . . . well no I don't. My job is actually to, lately, "log" film/video footage for sale to buyers who want to use it -- and in between that I get coffee. I spend most of my day in the logger pit looking at . . . lighthouses. [I'm logging that series now.]

I'm also a film student at a major university. I'm interested in television script writing. Currently I'm working on the production of a few short films, and eventually a couple of my own -- which shouldn't suck . . . too bad. Oh yeah and film students *are* some of the most desperate people you'd ever meet -- this major is killing my pockets.

In conclusion -- I love this board, don't like Bolex's, love the people . . . well most of the people, and also enjoy watching Big Brother. [I am a sicko, aren't I?]

I am a 40 year old woman... wife of a wonderful husband who's totally perplexed by my addiction to BB... mother of 3 (22,18 and 10) owner of two businesses ( a resort in Northern Minnesota and a retail flooring store) who races to her computer during any free moment to get her "fix" of reality TV and read all the crazy, silly ,thought provoking messages from all the wonderful people in the same addictive boat as me! I am certainly going to have a lot of spare time on my hands when this all ends. It's been GREAT!

Adven... from your posts on the board I am beginning to think you should visit! I used to live in Memphis but I am in California ... Am I getting closer or farther from you! :)

I'm a 29 (and 11 months, sounds better than 30) year old attorney from Southeast Michigan. I have an amazing wife and a 2 1/2 yr old daughter with undiagnosed developmental disabilities.

I started watching BB because it was something to watch at 8:00 while eating dinner. I wasn't all that impressed with the show, but I saw its potential. I can't remember the reason, but at one point probably two or three weeks into the show I found the live feeds, and I think I've at least scanned every one since. My wife thinks I'm odd, but she thought that already.

I agree with those who contend this is the first show that is far better on the Internet than it is on broadcast TV.

Zelda - I think you're actually closer to Adven39 than I am. You can try him out first and if he's any good, send him down to me. :)

Zelda - I would also like to know your advice for toilet training stubborn cats. Please email me at lactose_intolerant@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Well Everyone else seems to have add these profile here, so I will follow along.

I am a 29 year old SWM, from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. I started watching the show fromt he very start. I came home and it just happened to be on. I only caught the last 20 min. of that show.

I started on this board about 2 weeks into the show. My Favorite HG was and is Jordan. I currently exchange e-mail several times a week with her. I have found that there are many more sides to these HGs then those that we have seen on the FEEDs.

Abpout the time I found this board I became additted to the live feeds. At one point I wanted to take my 6 weeks of vacation time so I could follow the live feeds closer. But the thought of all that work stacking up on my desk scared me out of that Idea.

I work as a computer geek, for the some of the elected officials here in the province. Proud to be political staff.

I have made some friends here, and I hope to stay in touch with them after friday. I will return for the next show. ;)

I am a 34 year old female San Francisco native, who lives with a hubby and two cats, Molly and Chompsky (named after Molly Ivans and Noam Chompsky). My husband is responsible for me getting addicted to reality TV, starting with Survivor. My husband lost interest in BB when it became clear no sex was going to happen.

I am a web designer, writer, and activist. I am currently volunteering at our local SPCA which has a no-kill policy, socializing cats for adoption and taking care of neo-natal kittens. Previously, I have worked with women's issues, domestic violence, adoption and adoptee rights issues, and worked on political campaigns. I have an intense interest in civil rights and love constitutional law. Gay/Lesbian rights and the death penalty are other topics of interest.

I am on a sabbatical from being a computer geek and graphic artist. I also enjoy multiplayer computer games like Diablo II, Everquest, Online Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit.

My heroes are: Martin Luther King, Thurogood Marshall, Eleanor Roosevelt, Molly Ivans, Michael Moore, Edward R. Murrow (See it Now broadcasts) the parents who raised me and my birth and adoptive ancestors who got me where I am.

Favorite films: "Boyz in the Hood", "Network", "Awakenings", "The Killing Fields", "Atomic Cafe", "Roger and Me", "Dr. Strangelove", "Being There", "Breaking Away"

My favorite quote(s):
"Peace is not the absense of tension, it is the presence of Justice" - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"No one can disrespect you without your permission." - Eleanor Roosevelt
"You can't spell class without Cass" - me in a letter to Cass I sent to Tony before her banishment.
"Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes. "
Lewis Grizzard
"There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?"
Robert F. Kennedy

Favorite houseguests: Cassandra, Curtis, and to a lesser extent Jordan.

Astrology: Taurus
Chinese Astrology: Fire Horse
Favorite Commercial: "Think Different"- "Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do."

I was wondering where this thread went!
Zelda - sorry, you're moving further away by the minute. I 'm a Canadian,( eh?) and live in the picturesque, but alarmingly isolated, province of Nova Scotia. I do have a weakness, though, for southern women and am willing to break my vow to never have a love affair with a woman who lives 4000 miles away in this instance.
Gonnagetfired - what do you mean "if he's any good"? You've obviously never been with a man from the picturesque, but alarmingly isolated, province of Nova Scotia before. Besides, you never said I had to be any good. I'm not sure I can deal with that kind of pressure....yeah, what the hell, I'll give it a shot.

Adven ... I was beginning to think I scared you off!
So I have my orders from Gonnagetfired... I usually do what I am told... at least once. I live in wonderful sunny California at the beach. I was born in Kentucky and raised in the South ... So when can I expect ya? Southern hospitality goes a long way :)

Zelda, I think it's wise of you to listen to Gonnagetfired. She's offered you sage advice, in my opinion. We've got to stop meeting like this, though. The other posters are starting to talk and I think what they're saying is, "For Christ's sake, why don't you two get a room." I'd hate to dissappoint my fellow BB fans, so I'm on my way. I may take a quick detour into Tennessee for a little trampolining, if you don't mind.
