Zelda | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 07:23 pm  I can stop... I stop anytime..... I can stop... I can stop anytime.. Okay that didn't work! |
Bookwoman | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 07:25 pm  Neil & Enbwife - It's a good thing you are BOTH BBFC addicts or Neil would have been banished before Will . Again, thanks for everything ~ |
Stevev43 | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 08:57 pm  I have been hooked since Day One! However, I only just recently (like two weeks ago) discovered THIS site. Much better than the official BB2000. Glad that I JUST found this site coz otherwise my wife probably woulda divorced me by now. "Get off that damn computer and come to bed!" "But honey, Btittany, Josh, and Karen are in the LOVE BED." "That's the ONLY love bed you will ever know if you don't GET OFF THAT DAMN COMPUTER!!!!! You are SICK SICK SICK!!!!" Thank God I can follow my friends while I am at work. Just click on the "favorite" in Real Player, shrink it down to a real small viewing window, and voila!!! I am always with my "friends." Do any of you feel like you know these folks too? Of course it is boring at times, but it is COMPELLING nonetheless. And you just NEVER KNOW when it's gonna get hilarious. I hope Eddie wins. I appreciate his candor, and depth. But my favorite is Curtis. I love his analytical skills. He often says just what I am thinking. OOPS! Wife coming home from work soon. See ya. |
Sparky | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 09:27 pm  Neil, I feel sincerely honored you spoke to me. Now isn't that odd. Anyway, you've provided us with a tremendous forum and I'm very very thankful (though I look forward to playing with my dog more when BB is over). |
Flint | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 09:44 pm  Is there a level above addict? |
Sparky | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 10:01 pm  Flint: Addict Plus? Webmaster of BB fan club? Me??? |
Ricmunoz | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 11:27 pm  I've been a long-distance runner for 17 years. In June, I flew 21,000 roundtrip miles to run a 54-mile race in South Africa. I ran well (8 hours, 32 minutes; finished 1,180 out of 20,047) and had fun visiting a country so different from the USA. That was June 16...I have not run a single step since crossing the finish line in SA because...BB launched July 5. I told myself a hundred times, "Don't watch it, don't watch it--you'll get hooked." My weakness prevailed and now...I've gained 15 pounds; if I don't eat between now and the BB finale, I might max out at a 20-pound weight gain. October 1st: it's gonna feel weird going out on a run! [I've signed up for a marathon in San Jose on Oct. 29 so that should be enough time to get in shape--if I don't run well I'll have the imperfect excuse: BB as well as the BBFC!!] It's an incredible addiction; I constantly marvel at its intensity. Thanks to Neil and Mrs. Neil for providing a "home away from home." |
Zelda | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 11:34 pm  Ric... That is amazing. I wish you luck in your up coming event! I think we all need a couple of jogs around the block...I say this as I sit on my butt and type! |
Yowza | Thursday, September 07, 2000 - 11:49 pm  If Dr. Drew did a special stint at Betty Ford for all of us BBFC nuts, do you think we could get a group rate? Questions to ponder as we wait for the next plane or the next appearance of CML. Oh boy, can my room have a window please, no chickens, and no Pugs! |
Big_Al | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:05 am  Yes, honey, I'm coming to bed in a minute. Of course it'll be just a minute--I'm not Joshing you(heh heh). What am I 'doin? Oh, just trying to be thoughtful by dropping an e-mail to your Mom and Dad to say hello and getting the checkbook out to write a check to dat dem der, er, to that charity you support. -------------------------- Yes, honey, I know it's been 45 minutes, but I can't find the address for that charity and I'm still checking Eddie's @#*&%$$ --I mean our--e-mail. Oh, sorry, ha ha ha, I not trying to be discurtis, er, discourteous, I hit my finger on the keyboard. --------------------------- Yes, honey, I know how late it is, but just a couple of more minutes. The Bible Study telethon is on and they're discussing that same outer-beauty-obsession thing that the minister did his sermon on a couple of months ago, the last time we went, remember? You don't? Well, I do. I'll be right there. ------------------------------ Yes, dear, I know it's almost morning, and I really apologize. The Olympics are on and I'm really rooting for the American team. One of the swimmers refuses to get her hair wet, would you believe that? ------------------------------- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ------------------------------ (Yeah, me too!!!!!) |
Rachel | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 12:51 am  NONE of my family or friends watches BB--just me! And I am ridiculed by all of them! In the early days, I told them I watched it BECAUSE it was so insipid--tried to convince them that BB was an art form that I felt compelled to study but slowly I felt myself dragged in. Now, I don't even try to justify it. BBFC has freed me to hold my head high! Yeah, we need help....its kinda like BBFC is the BB house on a grander scale. We've gotta stick together......where's the Love Bed..... |
Ricmunoz | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 01:54 am  Zelda: Thanks for your kind words of encouragement--come Oct. 1st I'm really going to need them. Rachel: I know what you mean about the F & Fs. I was walking down Melrose Avenue last weekend with a friend I hadn't seen all summer and he naturally asked what I'd been up to. Upon hearing that I was completely enthralled with BB, he let out a shriek of horror that caused several people walking near us to turn around in surprise. My friend looked like he'd just witnessed a live electrocution and yowled, "Ewwwwww! I can NOT believe you are watching that thing. It's SO awful...I tried to watch and turned it off after two minutes." I don't intend to tell any of my other pals of my not-to-be-missed treasure of TV land. What they don't know can't hurt them. What's it's doing to me is a whole other story, of course. |
Ellen | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 05:53 am  I'm the only one I know that watches BB and is addicted to BBFC. Is there anyone else in the Syracuse area that watches it? What will happen to all of us when the show is over? Let's start a post-BB support group. |
Sundancer | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 08:53 am  OK, I suggest someone invent a BB and BBFC PATCH!!! We can start to taper off the last week of the show, and then by the last day we will be FREE!!!! I have given up asking or explaining to anyone I know, friends, neighbors, relatives,the mystery of BB addiction. I am the only one I know who is watching, or who will admit it. That's why I LOVE this board!!! Thanks Neil, and special thanks to all of the creative, humorous posters!!!! This board is the BEST part of BB!!! |
Addicted | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 09:07 am  Glad to know I'm not the only one. I am totally addicted. No one I know watches. I want to be able to talk to people about the show, I'm so grateful for BBFC. My husband thinks I'm totally nuts, he's probably right though. Love Josh and Curtis. |
Flint | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 09:50 am  Sparky; Webmaster of the BBFC may just be the step above addict. ;) |
Rachel | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 01:48 pm  Ric, You're the wiser by keeping our little obsession a secret. People can be so mean! Save it for the BBFC where you can be appreciated...and, by the way, you're posts always are. Rachel |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 01:54 pm  At least two hours at work today. I hope nobody finds out! |
Gonnagetfired | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 04:02 pm  It's Friday evening.... 6 pm..... the office is deserted.... yet I sit in the greenish glow of my computer monitor.... transfixed by the latest happenings on the live feeds.... can't leave... the custodian is vacuuming around my feet....please, send help............ |
Perrywinkle | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 04:12 pm  Rachel, I agree...I don't tell. Last week a friend of mine told me she had a good shot at a job as a pharmaceutical rep. I lost control and said "Just like Brittney!". ::blank stare:: "Big Brother?". ::blank stare:: I've now resolved to not speak to people until after Oct. 1. |
Stevev43 | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 09:01 pm  Hey Big Al....Loved your personal spin on our common addiction! And to all you others as well.......YES! IT IS TRUE!!!!! NOBODY BUT NOBODY who I know is watching BB. So let's just make this OUR SECRET. At the lunch table at work all the folks who chatted about Survivor say absolutely NOTHING about BB. When people come by my cubicle and wonder what those voices are (I usually minimize the picture...by this time we all recognize the voices....who needs pics?) I just say I'm listening to a TALK SHOW on the RADIO!!!!! LOL LOL... I am not embarrassed about loving BB at ALL!!! But there is no one really to share it with....So I don't bother....Oh well... The problem though is that, YES, much of the time it IS boring....Too bad, don't you think? DAMN!!!! I love all the folks inside...feel like I know them...Just wish it was more interesting so it would be a bigger hit so we could all look forward to BB2....much as there is going to be a second Survivor. At this point I doubt CBS is going to say "Well, we just had the wrong cast members." There is too much money at stake to be lost if it's a flop. I doubt they'll re-up for a second group. Comes down to SEX! There isn't ANY! And I gotta admit that I was hoping there WOULD be some. oh well |
Admin | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 10:48 pm  Oh my god....I forgot about the dog! She's been outside since Day 14!! I'd better move the pizza boxes away from the staircase and venture outside and see if she's okay! |
Perrywinkle | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 11:00 pm  Steve, my problem at work is that the FanClub Header is so easy to see at a glance. I've turned my monitor almost to the wall...which has raised suspicion (and caused neck problems). |
Avalonsparks | Friday, September 08, 2000 - 11:15 pm  I agree Perrywinkle. Neil is there anyway make the site more "work friendly" to just view the board window and hide the banner on top and the menu? I cut and paste threads into my e-mail at work so it just involves a quick couple of clicks and then I appear to be working. Thanks so much for the website Neil, it's the only reason I continue to watch the show. I'm addicted, I admit it and I'm not even going to try to justify it. This is fun. I am glad it will be over at the end of the month though.... |
Sparky | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 12:03 am  Avalonsparks: does the sparks part of your handle really refer to "Sparks"? I'm curious because it's true for me. |
