Talk about the blind leading the blind! You might not be looking in the right direction for help with this problem.

Rmgreco... why should you do better than the rest of us... I have 2 loads of laundry to wash (and then fold).. a sink full of dishes (but the dishwasher is running now simply because all the houseguests took naps today).. boxes to unpack since I moved just after the show stared... and I have a tropical storm bearing down on the area ... and here I sit.. I hope I get my plants inside before the storm hits tonight/tomorrow.

Rm you have done great so far
step 1 is admitting you have a problem.

I have a lady come in to clean my house every other week (my gift to myself when I quit smoking 18 months ago). I still have to do the dishes but if you don't eat, then there aren't that many to wash. :)

Nope.. you aren't alone at all... I started out just watching the show.. then I started visiting the "official" site just for the latest news...then it was the live feeds... then I found BBFC and I have been here ever since... it's terrible.. I don't sleep enough at night before going to work.. even my cat no longer wonders who is in the room talking because she recognizes the HGs' voices.. :) (actually I am glad I am not alone too)

Don't feel too badly about this. I'm supposed to be moving in 2 weeks. Have I gotten a blasted thing packed yet? No! You can be sure I'll be scrambling around here like my butt was on fire come the 29th though! :)

I had the same problem Sentinel.. was up all night the 2 nights before I moved... arrrrgghh.. and then had to get my TV hooked up so as not to miss the show when I moved..

BTW.. my cat is still not used to BB's voice making announcements... she jumps up and looks at the speakers when they boom out announcements..

Rmgreco - drop the laundry off at a 24 hour laundromat for them to do, eat off of paper plates, move your TV and computer into the kitchen, which is probably not carpeted and spend most of your time there. When you do need to walk on your carpet do it with your bare feet and on your tippy toes to help keep the carpet clean. Problems solved.

Rmgreco... my cat isn't into the pug at all... but she sits on a bar stool next to the computer and listens all night... gives me a funny look when I finally shut down the computer..I think she expects me to leave it running for her during the day when I am at work...

Curious... hahaha wonder if my TV & computer would fit in the kitchen.. it's a bit small.. but what great creative thinking you have going there

I actually folded the laundry beside the computer so I wouldn't miss anything. Very sad. My kids are beginning to hate me for hogging the computer all the time. They just don't understand that this has more priority than homework. Good thing I work during the day so I'm only half an addict. But then again, I'm off tomorrow.

Its nice posting with you Rmgreco. We do seem to think alike.

Thankfully, I don't have to share my computer with anyone. Last week, I bought Windows ME and in the 50 minutes it took to install, I was able to clean my kitchen, wash the dishes, take out the trash, and get a load of laundry done. Knowing I couldn't log on while it was installing made it possible to take a break. It was the most work I did in the house all week long. :)

Gail.. I would have had to wait to install it... another week wouldn't be that much to wait... :)

Mbliving... this show could be a great study for a paper for school... tell the kids to take notes so you can make sure you don't miss anything...

Rmgreco.. I think we think alike on more than one thread.. this one is fun to "visit"... nice and calm and lots of humor..

Deeya: My cat doesn't seem interested in the live feeds (I usually have SOMETHING coming out of the speakers), but when Eddie started whistling a tune last night, she became quite intrigued, and made it her goal to get inside those speakers. :)

I was thinking of moving my puter into the bedroom, putting in my headphones, and sleep along with them. But alas, with only 1 week left, it doesn't seem worth it.

The dark circles under my eyes are getting darker and darker, each time I stay up later and later. It's a wonder I haven't broken my mouse button by hitting refresh over and over and over. As for the dishes, I have plugged in headphones, (very long cord) and cooked dinner and did dishes. My keyboard however is filled with crumbs and ashes. My kids say "why do you always hog the computer?" My youngest son, 9 years old, almost made me stop and think when he said,"Are you obsessed with this show?" I didn't even think he knew what that word meant...

Have been reading your comments and boy, I feel much better, LOL!

But here's my story...albeit a little gross, but very true:

On Wednesday, my dog pooped in the living room because I didn't want to take time away from the live show to let her out. The really gross thing though is that after the live show, I then watched the tape before I cleaned up the poop!

This show has taken over my life!

Deeya, my daughter has already started a paper, she called it "Big Brother-the real reason behind my mother's breakdown".

Sorry, no help available for you :(

I gave up trying to overcome the addiction a while ago and am counting the days until my real life returns.

Let's hope it's at least six months until BigBrotherII!

I have to say, though, that if the house was as interesting now as it was before Brittany and others left, it would be truly hard to contemplate not having the live feeds. But the live feeds are not what they used to be, I'm sure you'll agree.

Mb and Deeya- We do think alike and I'm glad! :)

Ive managed to fold half of the laundry but since it took me so long to get that done there is a full hamper of dirty clothes waiting to get washed! Still havent vacuumed. The dishes, well, lets just say I am considering throwing them out and buying new ones!!! I'm very lucky that I work all day too because I would be a real nutcase if I didnt!!! I deliver flowers though and have lots of driving time to THINK about the show!! It's horrible!
Mb- you daughters paper cracked me up, that really would make a good paper!! I think we are all more interesting, with our insane BB addiction, than the show itself!!! Wonder if there are any psych students checking out these boards!! :)

We get our life back in a week!!!! WHooHoo! But realistically, we will spend so much time following all the interviews and the HG's every movement afterwards, SO it could really be another month or so!!!! Gotta figure in that decompression time!! :)
