I'm relatively new to the BBFC and I love it! Wish I'd been here from the start.

Well I am Irish, lol I'm a 30 yr old, SWF, no kids unless you count my dogs. I'm in the AF and have been for 12 years and have also been lucky enough to travel all over the world. I am finishing up my bachelor's degree and plan on becoming a social worker when I retire in 8 yrs! Yippee.

So that's me, thanks for letting me become a part of BBFC

Hi! I feel like I know you all from all the wonderful posts. I am 40, with 2 dogs, and 1 boyfriend of 5 years who thinks that I am way too obsessed with the show and this web site! (But I do find him asking a lot of questions about whats going on, he won't admit he's interested too) I have web t.v. so this site is the only way I can keep up on the lve feeds. I want to thank everyone for giving me hours of great entertainment! I am battling cancer now, and this has really taken my mind off my problems! Who knows? Maybe it will even throw me into remission! My other big obsession is gambling, so if anyone knows when the HG go to Vegas, let me know so I can join them. lol!

Hopefully this won't close the thread, it seems I am often the last poster on some of them. Sheesh.

Anyway...I'm female, I live in Massachusetts and I'm almost 48. I have 3 great sons, 25, 23 and 20 and one adorable grandson, almost 2. I have been married for 28 yrs. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs.

My nick is because I am a fan of the MoodyBlues, and I am a Libra.

I am not currently working, having taken the summer off, due to some downsizing at the ISP where I was employed as a CSM. This freedom has contributed to my BB/BBFC addiction. It has been a blast and I will miss watching the live feeds.

Hi Everyone
I am a 34 yr old Stay at home mom with 4 children. I live in Lancaster Pa. And..............I am a BB addict. I am going to miss this show very much. Eddie is my favorite cutie cutie. I also love his rough exterior I dont think those of us who like him would want him any other way. I wonder what he would say if he knew we all know he isnt that hard on the inside. YOUR SECRETS OUT EDDIE!!!!
I share my addiction to Bb with my 13 year old,my husband and my best friend in Ma. It's been a fun ride guys I hope to hear from the house guests in the future

Keeping it "all in the family", my company often has web dev needs. QA as well. If you're up for such, kindly drop me an email!

Am continuing to love this thread...I'm hopeful that our 9-5 M-F only-access friends will hop on board tomorrow. <off topic>--Got away from my computer long enough to catch a great movie and wanted to spread the word--"Almost Famous"--if you like 60's-70's rock & culture don't miss it!

Okay, I'll play too. I'll be 32 next week, am wonderfully single and am Hispanic and look completely Caucasian. Maybe that's why I'm so confused! I live in Miami and am a Massage Therapist. I'm originally from Southern California and have lived and traveled all over the world. I went years never even owning a TV because I had better things to do...now, I'm totally addicted to BB and can't wait til it's over so I can go into recovery! Thanks to all of you for sharing so much of yourselves!

Nice to meet you all. I am a Canadian person who has lived all over Canada and the US. Am 54, single, have two girls 17 and 15 who currently live with their Dad about an hour south of here, and one son who is 32 and lives with his wife on the other side of the country - Boo Hoo. I work as a chinese food delivery driver, (love it). Found this web site when it was written up in the Ottawa sun and am so glad it was.

Debi4514: I am also a cancer patient (non-Hodgekins lymphoma). I have been in remission for over a year. I, too, find this new addiction to BB & BBFC a way to keep my mind off problems and to have fun.

I am 55, divorced and live in Louisiana. My four children are grown and on their own. I have 3 grandsons and 2 grandbabies on the way.
I enjoy reading, gardening, nature walks, and travel. Prior to Survivor and BB, I have never been a regular TV viewer, except for news and news magazine shows.

I have had many jobs over the years, including several years as a certified secondary school teacher (English & social studies) and 10 years as a Director of Vounteer Services at hospitals in New Orleans and in PA. I am one of the few BB fans who is NOT in the computer field (woe is me!). I have not been working since being diagnosed with cancer, although I may start substitute teaching soon.

I have traveled extensively: the US (including Hawaiian Islands, but not Alaska -- YET), Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, many countries in Europe (including Yugoslovia before the country broke apart), Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, & Belize. I would still like to go to China, South Seas, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Greece, Spain and Portugal (all it takes is LOTS of money, time and good health). :-)

Life is good, and I've enjoyed spending a small part of mine getting to know fellow fans on this site. Thanks to all who have shared!

Hi everyone! I live in Sandusky, Ohio, on the shores of Lake Erie, right between Tolodo and Cleveland. My city is the home of Cedar Point amusement park; the roller coaster capitol of the world. My birthday was yesterday, the 23rd, so I am now 54. I`m a stay at home wife, married 36 years, and we have a 34 yr. old married son, and a 35 yr. old married daughter. We also have a 7 yr. old grandson and a 10 yr. old granddaughter. I am a life long cat lover and have a 16 lb. male orange tabby cat who likes to sit on my lap and help me type my messages on the computer..

I have loved watching Big Brother. I also love the BBFC, and am addicted to both. I found you sort of late, but ever since, I`m here every single day for HOURS. I really feel a part of the whole show with you people. This board brought it to actual reality for me. I love everyone`s effort on the live feeds, and all the great discussion here. TP Angels, you brought me much excitement and hearty laughter! You gals were great!! I hope to remain involved in your new site, and hope to make some friends here. I hope we can keep tabs and updates on the HG`s after they leave. It would be great to follow "our family".

What a great thread!

I'm 40.. single.. female... living on the Eastern Shore outside of Mobile, AL..(actually moved during the show which made packing a royal pain)

I'm a database management assistant by day who sneaks onto the BBFC site about twice a day at work even though I am not supposed to... and then rushes home in the evening to see what I have missed... thank god for the great live feed posters...

My only kid is my cat.. Stache... who is currently snoozing on the bar stool beside my chair (put there for the express purpose of keeping her off the keyboard)..

My addiction to BB has given me something fun to focus on these last few months.. which I have desparately needed.. my brother was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in July and we are working through that now (yes I have faith that we will get through this).

Of course I have also lost 20 pounds while watching this show.. so I am crossing my fingers that BB2 starts up (SOON)... so I can lose a bit more...

Thanks for all the fun here.. hope I see y'all around for whatever else Neil has in store for us.

I'm a 26 year old single lawyer in Montgomery, ALabama.
I am a TV addict, so of course I HAD to watch a show that was going on 6 days a week PLUS a place to go to see what is happening every single second. I started off as a big fan of Britt. I am not a Jamie hater and would like to see her win although my favorite left in the house is probably Curtis. I read the Curtisms thread under general favorites today and reading all his quirky remarks at once had me rolling. My friends will be ever so happy when BB is over so that we don't have to keep rearranging schedules around the show. Personally, I don't know what I'm going to do when there are no longer live feeds to read!!! How will I ever manage when I have to wait a whole week for a new episode of my favorite shows??

Hi, I'm a 36 year old, single woman living in Little Rock, Arkansas. I live alone with my cat, Levi. He's 13 years old and dying of cancer.

I've been addicted to BB since it started and I haven't missed a show. If by chance I'm away from the TV, I tape it! My friends give me such a hard time, because I always leave Happy Hour at 6:45PM so I won't miss the shows. They tease me and say that they are going to 'vote me out' of the happy hour gang! Too funny!

I watch the live feeds quite a bit, even at work! I have a great connection at work and can minimize the screen so I can listen in all day. When things get interesting, I'll pull up the fan club site and type away. I'm the boss, so i don't risk being fired, but my employees think I'm crazy!

It's been a wild ride and I'm a little sad that this will all be over in a few days. Let's have fun this week and pray for BB2. Good bye all!

Dilligaf ... I am from Fayetteville, Ark! Glad to see someone from Razorback country on the board. I live in LA now and that was a culture shock!

Just wanted to tell you that my Kitties & I have Levi in our prayers!

Love BB and hope it is on again next summer...but hopefully when I return from my one month holiday!

I am an author and radio show DJ.

Live in Hawaii.

Have too many darn kids (3) that need to finish college, med school and law school so my husband can stop working so hard. They need to get a life and move out of my house...Ha! Ha!

Married 24 years.

Too old to tell you how really old I am.

Hate to say it for fear of being harassed but my boys are very much like Curtis...I guesss it is the Chinese Dad thing. All sing. All play more than one instrument. All speak at least 5 languages. All are real gentlemen. And one went to USC like his MOM and Cutis. The other is at Stanford.

Hi, I'm a 30 year old, married for 10 years, have 2 wonderful boys 8 and 10, and 1 cat.
I baby-sit in my home so I stay tuned to big brother about 14 hours a day, lol. I'm from Louisiana.
I'm a huge BB fan and also an Atlanta Braves fan and they will both be ending soon, so I'm dreading what the next few months will be like.
My husband can't wait until BB is over, he says he feels like he has been widowed for the last 3 months. He won't admitted it, but he enjoys it also. Thanks everyone for keeping this board and live feeds posted. It's truly been a fun ride.
Go Josh!!!

47 yrs old male from Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Married , no kids. Wife is just addicted as I am. Work for the local County government in building maintenance. Was rooting for Cassandra, but alas she is gone. Now swinging between Eddie and Curtis. I REALLY REALLY appreciate all the work you all have done on the live feeds. As I have said before, with my hearing impairment, this is not a show that I would normally follow very well. But by being able to read the transcripts and watching the show, I feel like I haven't missed a thing. BIG THANKS TOO ALL !!!!

[this feels like what I imagine introducing yourself at a 12-step program is like...]

42 yr old female, service brat [father in Air Force], but family from Arkansas [Hi Dilligaf and Zelda, my sister lives in Little Rock, and we hope to retire to Hot Springs one day.]

Presently I am a stay at home mom for our 9 yr old daughter, but I was a US Army captain near Baltimore when I met my wonderful husband [who is still in the Army.] Right now we are at Fort Stewart, close to Savannah, GA. Our favorite assignment was the 5 years we lived in Cairo, Egypt, before coming here.

I am a cat person, one large orange male tabby named Kitty, but that pug is adorable...

I love gardening, and got my master gardeners certification when we lived in Virginia, but I totally neglected my garden this summer. Maybe next week I'll move those tiger lilies.

I started lurking on this board about the time Karen was going crazy, but it didn't take me long to see this was the best board around and start posting. My dh likes the show too, but depends on me to fill him in on the live feeds and the confusing editing on the show. [Actually, I think he tolerates my constant turning the conversation to the houseguests. True story: he asked me the other day when are the clocks turned back, and I told him I heard George say on the live feeds that it is always around Halloween. Is that pathetic?]

I'm already getting the shakes envisioning the empty house, I'll guess I'll have to get back to doing genealogy and family history until the next web/tv event comes along. Anybody know when British BB starts up again? I'm going to give ABCs "The Mole" a try, [I kinda like the host Anderson Cooper.]

Hi all I am a 55 yr old bookkeeper, married 38 years two sons (37 & 32) two of the best grandchildren (13&11) one dog, 5 cats 11 fish. I have been addicted to BB from day one. Execpt for the trip to Honolulu to visit the one son this summer I never missed a day or feed on it. As far as my husband goes when I talk to him about BB and the HG (like it is family I am speaking about) he just looks at me like I went crazy. So if this is my last post you know he has sent the white coats for me. LOLOLOLO

Hi! I don't post much here but I enjoy reading this BBFC when I can. I just celebrated my 10 yr anniv. and have the cutest little 3 yr. old girl.

I'm asian. My mother is Korean and my Dad is half chinese and spanish. That might explain why I'm such a huge Curtis fan :0) I really do relate to him. I was born in S. Carolina and grew up in Kentucky where I still live. I don't speak any other language but English.

I just came back from a 10 day vacation and found out that I didn't program my VCR properly! I was just sick about it!! If it wasn't for this site to fill me in, I probably would have broken down in tears.

THANK YOU BBFC!!!
