Edisgreat | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 01:41 pm  The new topic VIP lounge (located beneath Big Brother USA) is for family members of houseguests to post their thoughts with us. Thank you BBFAN! |
Edisgreat | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 01:43 pm  With that said, plese Mrs. McGee, let me be the first to respond. Let me be one of the first to thank you, and your son, for allowing me to share this special time in your lives. You both share a wonderful sense of humor and is a joy to listen to you both!Eddie is a love him or hate him kinda guy. I think the lovers see right through him. We see a boy who loves him Mom and family. Someone who is so self-confident that he doesn't care what other people think. He is his own man. That is the boy we adore. The haters, well, they just can't see what we do. It is their loss. "Mick", I know you are proud of him. So am I and many, many others. May I compliment you on raising such a self-assured young man. Job well done! |
Chicksdigeddie | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 02:49 pm  Hello Mick... Let me be the second to respond ;)! I'm so glad that I got to know you and your son Eddie. As stated by Ed is Great AP, Eddie is the type of guy that you either love or hate. Fortunately, I love him. What a spit fire. Remains me of when I was younger, except, I am a female. I can relate to Eddie because I myself come from a handicapped family both my parents were born deaf. Growing up as a child with deaf parents was not easy. However, I learned to cope the best I could. There are many people in this world who are ignorant to the handicapped. I can always remember adults staring at my parents because they were signing to each other. I remember thinking to myself how can grown adults to this, don't they know any better. So from there I learned to stand up for myself and let them know that what they were doing was wrong. What I would do is stare right back at them and I was around twelve. Boy, you never saw eyes move away so fast. I tell you this so that I can share with you my experiences that I went through. I'm sure you can relate. Eddie has been upfront about who he is and what he wants and that is what attracted me to him. I wish Eddie, you and your family all the best. |
Irishluvseddie | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 04:13 pm  Hey Mick !!! Sure has been a bumpy ride eh ??? but a fun one too!!! So glad to have met you, and love your son to death on the net =o) He is a great kid, with a great heart!! I am sure it runs in the family. We are very happy to support you and Eddie in this game....can't wait for him to come home and show you da money!!!! lollol It's been a pleasure chatting with you and talking with you. You ROCK on girlfriend!!!!! you and Eddie are the BEST !!! We love yous!!!!! |
Twiggyish | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 04:17 pm  You have done a good job with Eddie. He is outgoing, independent, intelligent, cagey and has a good heart. |
Max | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 04:31 pm  Just want to add my worth (with apologies to Flint for borrowing his trademark). I think Eddie is very funny. Crude? Yes, but he's a young guy and that's pretty darned normal, in my experience. I'm very impressed with his perseverance and determination to win. I hope he does. I'm also impressed with his musical range. He's got a great selection of tunes in his head from Louie Armstrong to Bruce Springsteen to Bob Marley. I like to see someone Eddie's age keeping the classics (like Louie) alive and having tastes that span several different musical genres. It gives me hope that MTV isn't ruining all the youngsters with middle-of-the road, monotonous music. I also think Eddie has been (and will continue to be) a wonderful role model for kids facing physical challenges. I've read several articles already that indicate he's having a positive effect on kids. He's a great example of taking lemons life handed him and making lemonade. Mick, kudos to you for raising a great kid!  |
Noslonna | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 04:43 pm  Eddie is honest, compassionate, intelligent, loyal and faithful, with a passion for life and the courage to be himself. Those are wonderful qualities for any human being. He also happens to be good-looking, physically beautiful and strong and very funny. I admire and respect him very much and I love the way he makes me laugh. If I had the pleasure of knowing Eddie I would love him just as dearly as I love my own great kids. Denise must be a very good mom to have raised such a fine son. I am praying Eddie wins, he has already proven he has what it takes to be a Champ.

Bkmac | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 04:50 pm  Hello Eddies Mom! When he's awake your son has been a GREAT source of entertainment for me- he is definetly one of the more colorful houseguests. I have never felt offended by anything he's said or done. Of course I am also married to a sailor...haha... so colorful language doesn't shock me. However far he gets in this game- it's great that he is actually PLAYING it!! |
Chicksdigeddie | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 04:51 pm  Max, Just wanted to commend you on a great letter. I feel the same way about his music knowledge too. EDDIE ROCKS!!!!!!!! |
Lazzarus50 | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 04:58 pm  Mick: Thanks for dropping a line and clueing us in on Eddie. While I have tried to keep my opinions of the houseguests mainly to myself here and be as noncommital as possible, I feel that I must let you know that I respect the way Eddie has played the game. I surely hope for the best for him in the next couple of weeks. Oh yeah, Lava might be a good choice since its been quite a while and no one seems to have toned him down any....LOL. My best wishes for you and yours. |
Kiari | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 05:18 pm  Mick, You were so GREAT on the live show just now! I am still laughing with tears from Eddie telling all that your gunna wash wash his mouth out when he gets home. Way to, Glad you joined us have eddie visit us when he gets home....IN 2 WEEKS! |
Rmgreco | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 05:27 pm  Eddie is my favorite by far! Anyone who is part of Eddies life is a very lucky person! He has really taught me alot about honesty and perception. He has really changed how I see handicap people and I am so grateful for that! You did a great job raising such a terrific young man! You should be very proud! Don't be too hard on him about his potty mouth, Ive heard much worse from guys his age!!! Eddie is truly a joy! |
Brutus | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 07:18 pm  Hey Mick, This is actually Straw! Well you know how I feel about that son of yours! He is the best. Funny as can be, confident, honest and with a heart of gold to go with it. The thing that gets to me the most though is the intense love and devotion he has to his family. No matter what happens in the next couple of weeks you know that Eddie is a winner! He has changed perceptions and has touched hearts. I know he (and you) have touched mine! You couldn't have raised a finer young man. And about the soap...come on Eddie's Eddie we love him mouth and all! Good luck!! |
Sundancer | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 07:36 pm  Denise, I want to thank you for being able to use your few seconds to tell Eddie that everything in the sky is true!!!!!! FINALLY the message has been relayed, and he just told Josh about it. If nothing else, now maybe they will watch their backs!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! |
Tootseug | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 07:42 pm  Mick I am no "CHICK" (I am 48 y/o), but I sure DIG YOUR SON! |
Jade888 | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 07:44 pm  Hey Mick! Eddie has grown on us over the weeks and like Max said hopefully he will grow out of the cursing and swearing thing with age. But if you told him you were going to wash his mouth out with soap...I'll send you a case of soap because Max stated all young men that age swear, I think that is inaccurate as I have two sons that age, and all of their friends hang out at my house and I have never heard them swear like that ever before. Really never. I think sometimes kids use foul language to express inner feelings that they are unable to discuss out loud. No I am not a psychiatrist but my husband is and after twenty years as a physician this is our observation about self esteem and emotional balance. But Mick...as far as having excessive medical bills, I hope you will email me to discuss this matter as I have never heard of a hospital putting a lien on a home of a patient and this is crazy. I would like to know what hospital to round up doctors and their families to go after them for doing this. GO MAX>>>you are the best at this sight! |
Battlestar | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 07:46 pm  I recommend Irish Spring Soap for the potty mouth punishment ;) |
Bbrock | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 07:51 pm  Mrs McGee, Wishing you and your family the best! Hoping Eddie takes the prize. =D If you go to the "limerick" messages on the boards you will see the parody song I wrote about Eddie. So, ya' know I want the Ed-man to win!! Loved your "soap" comment tonight! LOL BBRock |
Tootseug | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 07:58 pm  JADE888, BELIEVE IT! Hospitals DO put liens on house's! They will also do it to the person's house when the patient dies, so that the remaining family when they go to sell "dad's house", the family has to pay the bill! I am an intensive care nurse in a 450 bed hospital. Our hospital does it all the time. How about this one. This happen just last year in our Catholic hospital. The parents of a newborn baby who died, got a phonecall from the hospital, BEFORE the funeral service occurred, asking them "when they were going to pay their bill" that they owed, for their dead newborn!! You might say, "how cold"? Yes, it is. IT's BUSINESS! And that's the real world! Please get out more, and lay off Mick. YOU owe her an apology! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!! |
Rozforeddie | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 08:08 pm  MICK!!!! You sure did a wonderful job raising a great son. Thank you for sharing him with us. I love you both. Ive been watching BB since day 1 and Eddie is still the same Eddie. GREAT~~~~ He gives 100% p.s I have a daughter 21 also to bad Eddie has a girlfriend LOL ;o) Love Rose xoxoxoxo always |
Pugrules | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 08:24 pm  Hi Mick! I love Eddie's sense of humor. I also admire him for speaking up and letting the others know that his family comes first. I think that shows how well he was raised. I do wish he would tone down the language though, maybe your comment about the soap will help. I am rooting for him to win! |
Skwmom | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 08:38 pm  Mick, You did a great job on tonights show! The love you and Eddie have for each other came through loud and clear. |
Myedespagetti | Saturday, September 16, 2000 - 10:19 pm  Mick, As you can tell by my name I am a 100% Eddie fan. He has hutzpa (sp?) hehe. I must say that it took a few weeks for him to grow on me. He really started to open up after Will left. I could see him sharing more and really forming bonds with the HG. He is so forthright and sticks to his guns. My favorite Eddie moment is when the HG refused their "surprise" because they did not want to see the videos of them nominating each other in RR. Eddie's speech after it was all said and done was so appropriate and to the point. It needed to be said and he said couldn't have said it better..GO EDDIE!!! |
Zelda | Sunday, September 17, 2000 - 02:23 am  Mick We tried to include what Eddie neededin the special packages the Angel's sent over the wall tonight. Of course when we heard Eddie was the one in the yard, we started tossing ... Just wanted to let you know we care and support Eddie! |
Sentinel | Sunday, September 17, 2000 - 07:32 am  Hi Mick! Just wanted to add my sentiments to this thread. I've really enjoyed watching your son on the show and I got a kick out of your phone conversation with him on last night's show. From one mother to another, you've done an excellent job raising this young man and he's got a really bright future ahead of him. Best of luck to you and your family. I hope you all take a nice, long vacation once this is all over, you'll all certainly need it. GO EDDIE!!! |
