Bigbrother2000 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 03:48 pm  I'll go first....I admit that I'm powerless over Big Brother and Live Feeds....next |
Chixdigeddie | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 03:52 pm  i'm just gonna get drunk tonight so when i wake up in the morning it will all be like a big fuzzy dream

Gubblebum | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 04:00 pm  I take back control of myself, and if that means shrouding my computer, then so be it I can't hang around other addicts lest we regress to our former addicted selves break out the bonbons |
Enbwife | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:32 pm  I admit I am powerless over BB and my life has become unmanageable. I can barely get through work without talking about Eddie, Brit or Josh. The only conversations I have with my husband are about the BB house guests. I have come to believe in a higher power that will restore me to sanity (CBS for ending the show) and will try to get my life back until the next BB in February (hopefully). I hope to start the insanity all over again with you at the new website The TV Clubhouse. |
Battlestar | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:33 pm  Hey---I just look outside---it must be autumn , the leaves are falling. What happened to summer?? |
Nybob99 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:45 pm  I can't see outside windows are too dirty |
Rmgreco | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:54 pm  LOL! I admit I am powerless over BB. I can't even get through a day without talking about the Houseguests. I have neglected my friends, family and apartment. I am disgusted by the shambles my living enviornment is in. ANd I will be dealing with my BB withdrawal by doing 25 loads of laundry and washing every single dish in the house!!!!!! |
Battlestar | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:55 pm  My hands are shaking!!! I just went and deleted most of my BB bookmarks.....argggghhhhhhh---gasp gasp |
Sparky | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:59 pm  Battlestar, it hurts. I know. |
Soconfused | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:03 pm  okay, okay...I admit I have a problem but I'm not ready for a cure yet. Which one of you guys are willing to put cameras up in your houses? Then, since I have a very old computer and no access to the live feeds I'll need some of you others to transcribe them for me. I promise we would only need you all to do this for a little while. Maybe just until February or so! |
Bigbrother2000 | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 09:03 am  I'm trying to make amends with my family and friends....I haven't talked to them in 3 mos..LOL

Ocean_Islands | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 09:17 am  I'll start the 12 step program tomorrow, after I have time to look at all the "Best BB Moments" from the BB2000 website. It's like living them all over again. How can I record these, by the way? |
Jana | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 09:23 am  I don't want a cure...i want my BB back RIGHT NOW....they'll put it back on for me won't they...we can get at least brit, curt and ed to go back in the house can't we? we could just storm the house and live there ourselves couldn't we?....or, HEY! we can get the angels to go follow the HG around couldn't we?....agggh i'm still in denial...i'm not ready for the first step yet....my 25 loads of laundry and beer pyramid have still not been touched....and there is no way in HELL that i'm ready to get rid of my bookmarks yet...are you crazy!?!?!....i'm afraid i am a bad case...i'll come back to you guys when i am ready for the first step... |
Kearie | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 05:45 pm  Hi....(looking around nervously) My name is Kearie and I, (pause, sigh, looking at floor and shifting my stance) I am a Big Brother addict. (big sigh of relief) I am also a (tears form in the corner of my eyes) a Big Brother Fan Club addict. (Sits down on floor, covering my face and crying loudly) What am I going to do? I don't think I can take these withdrawls. How could have I let myself go like this? Ohmigosh. Someone help me or I'm afraid I will need institutionalized care to recover. |
Singblueeyes | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 08:29 pm  Chixdigeddie - LOL...yup..there was a bottle of Glenlivet with my little ol name written aaaallll over it..hehe |
Luddite | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 10:49 pm  *shiver* I can't get over this BigBrother addiction. In fact, I think I'll learn two or three more languages so that I can watch Big Brother in German, Dutch, Italian . . . Please, just one more hit, and I'll stop. |
Heyteach | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 12:12 am  I've been trying to taper off...just looking in my neighbor's windows a few hours a day...I had trouble keeping up with their movements late last night and made a little noise...thought I was busted...But then I heard a voice from within say, "Bob, is that you?" and I knew it was alright. But then this morning I went into my living room and startled my roommate...She had forgotten I lived there and called the police to report an intruder...We can do this (recover) together... Can't we?...Luddite, don't you know how to use a translator? |
Kstme | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 12:18 am  I agree with ALL of you!!! I WANT MY BB BACK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I've traveled the Internet Highway of Many Languages tonight and found nobody was home! Seems most of the sights have passwords and you can't register if you can't speak the language! Desperation is setting in!! Switzerland didn't recognize either Canada or USA as countries! LOL I got through in Sweden only to find out my puter found "NET Congestion" more entertaining than the show!! I would've stayed tuned...at that point I didn't care if I understood or not! I feel like a closet junkie without my dealer! I am willing to take classes at Berlitz School of Languages! I'll change my address to suit their needs! I want my LIVE FEEDS to work! I want to laugh with the "posters"! I want to HEAR all those familiar voices saying NEW things! I thought I would be "getting my life back today"...well...that sure didn't work out well, did it???  |
Kstme | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 12:27 am  Translator????? Hmmmm...where? How? Free? All other countries?? My heart is starting to pound! My mouth is beginning to foam...this is NOT a pretty sight! Will I be able to see AND understand Ricardo in Portugal or that cool, tan guy in Sweden? Italy awaits!  |
Whit4you | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 12:54 am  Well, MY addictioni wasn't with the CBS game show Big Brother but the "live feed transcripts" They made me laugh, and cry, and feel left out and feel frustrated and laugh so hard my tummy hurt.. make me envy them. I type 120 WPM and I could have helped out-and kept up with the best of the live feed posters the only thing that I couldnt have done and that I admire them for is keeping the integrity. As much as I respect what THEY were doing with keeping it "in the house" I couldnt have done it - not as well as they did....... The 1 line editorials from them - would have been 10 page rants from me... I have to think that in the LONG run - CbS's Big brother will have effected ME more then it effected the 10 houseguests... because I lived and breathed it for months on end... while THEY tried to "go on with live despite it" at the same time... I'm happy that Eddie won - happy that Josh placed 2nd but I wont be *over* BB or willing to look for another addiction until I vent and I do mean VENT about my take on the Rockwell-George-CBS-Playing-God-situation.... |
Kitkat | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 01:13 am  I am up at 4.04 EST. Can't sleep. I Miss Curtis. Wanted him to win so much. I go back and look through old live feeds. play everything over that I down loaded. Just watched the trinitron dance. Are we ever going to hear from anyone ever again? Will Curtis and Josh get any live interviews? Will we find out if Sloshy dates Brit? Will Curtis get her? I am sooooo lonely. I took a picture of them one day and am going to have it as my screensaver. |
Heyteach | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 10:34 pm  Kstme--Only catch is you have to get a written transcript first--which from what everyone is saying is tricky. I tried the Italian house myself and also found they wanted a password. I didn't stay around long enough to see what I'd have to do to get one. Assuming you can get something written, go to any site (quepasa.com is one of many) with a translate and copy and paste the passage into the appropriate box, choose the languages you need and voila! You get a bad translation that at least gives you the gist of it. (Someone had a German translation from the Swedish house here not long ago). Maybe if we can figure out how to break into the houses to watch the live feeds we can learn the language by listening! No???  |
Luddite | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 10:49 pm  Heyteach, you only have to register on the Italian BB site to get the extra feeds. Registration is free. You have to click a few privacy disclosure texts to verify that you have read them - I think those are either Italian or E.U. regs - I skimmed over them, but didn't read carefully. Next, you give them a few answers to demographics - be two-faced and lie about yourself if you want . Also, don't click on the boxes next to the demographics answers, or else the info becomes public. The regs in Europe require you to explicitly waive your privacy before the website can make use of the info. Ah, who cares? Big Brother is watching you anyway! Why is it that the feeds for the foreign BBs are about a hundred times better than the AOL feeds were? Blech! |
Heyteach | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 12:21 am  Thanks Luddite. I have spent the last hour following the instructions I found in the Italian house thread here on the board but have not successfully gotten the live feeds to work! I should quit while I am ahead, but I will probably give it another try tomorrow...weak creature that I am... |
