Moodylibra | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 03:28 pm  ....you waste a wonderful Saturday glued to the computer trying to figure out if the HGs will or won't walk out.. and why.. ...a plane flies over your own house and you have to fight the urge to see if it is a sign plane.. and you live on the East Coast |
Jan | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 04:38 pm  Moody -- thx for that great laugh. |
Jana | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 04:43 pm  for the first time in your life you have come up with a conspiracy theory |
Jana | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 04:46 pm  you are staring at some stupid tennis match on the tv wondering and praying that it will be over in 10 minutes....they aren't going to not show it are they? i'm not going to miss it am i? will someone post the show? i'm dyin over here....the show is sposed to be on in 10 minutes...Make Venus hurry! HURRY! |
Ricmunoz | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 07:30 pm  Jana: All I could think of while watching Venus kick Lindsay's a$$ was "Oh no, the match is not going to end before 8 o'clock EDT--those poor BB fans in the East must be going nuts!" Ahhh, one of the (very) few benefits of living on the West Coast: watching my favorite tennis tournament in peace AND settling in at 8 o'clock for a stress-free viewing of my favorite TV show! Oops, it's 7:30, I have to run out and buy some take-out dinner to keep me company while I take in "An All-New Big Brother." |
Voyeur | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 07:34 pm  Except we're being preempted tonight for a stupid baseball game. |
Reader2 | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 08:02 pm  uggggg...when you realize it is 10 pm and you havent eaten dinner yet!! (fed the kids leftovers so I wouldnt miss any of the 7pm show!) and you read the post to discover you have most of the same addictions in common!!! roflol! |
Hokum | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 08:06 pm  You start to think that George has a brain and is actually playing with the internet audience. |
Puttergirl | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 08:14 pm  When you wake up in the middle of the night, bump into your dog (named Rascal) and yell- "Go&*$%^$, EDDIE, get out of my way"! |
Ebeckhusen | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 08:15 pm  Your mom (also a BB addict) is scheduled for hip replacement surgery on a banishment day, and you tell her that you won't be able to visit that night, and she actually understands!! (BTW, surgery has thankfully been changed to next day, so we won't have that scenario!!) |
Shipwreck | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 08:20 pm  ATTENTION! There is a self help group for you guys, but unfortunately, you have to log on to http://bigbrotherfanclub.com to join. LOL |
Enbwife | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 08:23 pm  When you are sitting in your dark basement on one computer, reading all the posts, with your husband, who is sitting directly beside you on his computer, also reading posts, and you start arguing because one person talks to the other person about something they read, and interupted the other person's reading. Man oh man - we need serious help (LOL). |
Chris | Saturday, September 09, 2000 - 08:30 pm  oH Geez... I just caught myself whistling a duo with Eddy on the live feeds... |
Chrissy808 | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 08:57 pm  when you start learning how to juggle with the houseguests! |
Flint | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 09:00 pm  You start putting your dog through an obstacle course so they can be like Pugita. |
Wendy | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 09:09 pm  When you sit at your computer anxiously awaiting Curtis to get back from the Emmys and you can feel the excitement building as you patiently wait to hear what happened while he was out. |
Flint | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 09:15 pm  Wendy; You forgot to add "and you are as excited as the HG's for Curtis to get back." Thats just ... Your 2 cents from another thread.  |
Rt124 | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 09:39 pm  You spend two days on this site posting dozens of suggestions for a Jamie plane banner. Though it was a fun weekend! |
Katie | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 12:58 am  When you are on the west coast and try to wait out all of the west coast posters so you don't miss one post and then have to get back up in a couple of hours so you don't miss the first of the east coast posts. Or this one. You never swear or use that f-word but find that Eddie is wearing off on you when you say it when you stub your toe trying to get back to the computer so you don't miss anything. Or you get up in the morning and go to your computer and it is dark and you get up from it at night and it is dark and you wonder if it ever got light that day. |
Really | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 01:21 am  After responding to my spouse with ummm-hmmm 3 times in a row and had to smile and then say "Absolutely... you know...Cassandra...on Big Brother"...(rolling my eyes - like he doesn't know) Also, having anxiety attacks/withdrawals when they were talking about really walking. And one more, I thought nothing could break my TV addiction I had for the last 6 months (previous 6 mths went w/out TV due to travelling & moving, so I had to make up for lost time) then came the internet feeds. Now I only turn the TV on to see the BB show. |
Really | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 01:47 am  ok I have a few more...as I sit here 4:30 am East coast time watching Eddie sleep. ...when you actually watch the Emmy's only because you hope to see Curtis somewhere in the audience (and of course wave to him on the TV screen) ...the other day while in the kitchen, hollered to the other room..."what? what was that?" (silence) then walked over to the doorway and asked hubby again..."what did you say? the water was running, I couldn't make out what you said" he said, "I didn't say anything - oh, I think that was Josh" |
Echo | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 05:45 am  when you actually print this thread out to prove to family and friends that you are not the only one that has this problem. |
Dulci | Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 08:35 am  Yikes, this thread almost fell off the board. Ok lets see, you know you're a BB Addict when... you're an East Coaster living on West Coast time. [Not easy when you have elementary school kids to see off in the morning]. You start to resent the houseguests living in your own house for not doing their own laundry. You start to eye your own recyclables and wonder if you could come up with any crafty ideas. You hear an airplane overhead and rush to check the quadcam to see if there is a new banner. |
Addicted | Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 09:46 am  Thanks echo for the idea of printing this thread to prove to others that you aren't the only one. ...when you practically run through the grocery store on Saturday so you can make it back in time for George's 10:00 meeting. ...when you speed through the streets so you don't miss anything between the time you leave work and the time you get home. ...when you are at a family reunion on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and all you can think about is getting back home to the computer. ...when you are out for your cousin's birthday on Saturday and you want to sing Happy Birthday to Brit and Eddie's father also. and probably the worst: ...when you offer to help your step-daughter type her English Assignment Saturday night because you are a quicker typist and you must have the computer back. |
Matty | Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 10:00 am  ...when you wish there were a way to hook up the live feeds to your radio so your hour commute home doesn't seem so bad ...when you and your husband are both cracking up over the BBFC discussions on separate laptops and you look at each other at one point and ask "What has happened to our social lives?" ...when you keep saying - I'll only read one more thread - then I'll get back to my job |
