Msreiziger | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 06:23 pm     Ok I have been listening and watching for a while, and here is a topic for us: what do you do differently now that we'be back in the Land of BB? Obvious ones: lots of pb&j; personal scheduling at the mercy of BB4 schedules; etc. Here's another one: Today I was doing laundry, and read the tag of a light colored pair of shorts "wash with like colors." I was immediately confused, since I had always washed light colors with light colors, and thought it was telling me to wash with colors, in Michelle-speak: "wash with, like, colors." So it took me about 10 seconds to realize that I had read it wrong. Wash with, like, colors! I laughed so hard but no one in my house gets it, and I hoped someone might relate to my Altered State of Mind. |
Misslibra | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 06:28 pm     Your not alone I can relate but since I'm in denial I don't want to talk about it. LOL |
Deedee | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 07:01 pm     I was shopping for a child's birthday present and saw yellow rubber ducks. I picked up one and said to my dh we could buy several of these so he can play duck ball. He gave me a very puzzled look, instead of explaining. I just picked up another toy and asked if the new toy was okay. It was only after I said it outloud that I realized that duckball only exists in BBland. |
Azriel | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 07:03 pm     ROFL, Deedee! |
Needmylifeback | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 07:07 pm     DeeDee....as I was reading your post...I got to thinkin'...we have several rubber ducks....and I could play duckball....and our fire pit would be a great place to aim for......Hmmmmmm. |
Kira33 | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 08:05 pm     See thread entitled "BB addiction & its effect on relationships / daily routine" for my confessional *g* |
Msreiziger | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 08:18 pm     Another strange one: I actually find myself praying for certain houseguests. Last season with Jason I almost called my church to add him to the prayer chain. It wouldn't have been too unheard-of, since he attends the same denomination I do. My family is seriously thinking Intervention. |
Closetfan | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 09:51 pm     I find myself dreaming about the HGs...ugh! And doing things and hearing Dana saying 'f'ing' all the time. It's making me want to cuss more! YUCK! |
Ric_Munoz | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 09:59 pm     Having to remind myself that BB does not air on Saturday nights (as it did during seasons 1, 2 and 3) -- it feels strange to actually have summer Saturday nights free to do non-BB stuff. |
Eeyoreslament | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 11:00 pm     Waking up in the morning checking the posts. Going and showering, and coming back to check the posts. Coming home from school and checking the posts. Avoiding homework while checking the posts. Taking a break from homework I haven't really gotten into yet to check the posts. Wasting more time checking the posts. Checking the posts before bed. REFRESHING the posts "one last time" before finally acknowledging my destructive behaviour, and only check the posts one more time after that. |
Lostintheglades | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 04:39 am     Hubby watches the show with me...but when I say things like "BB" and "HOH" he looks at me oddly. So it seems as if even the Achronyms we use are lost on some. |
Cinder | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 05:43 am     Eeyoreslament- OMG- thats me. |
Corriecat | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 06:08 am     DeeDee we were at the store last night and they had the big buckets on sale. My first thought was now all we need are some ducks. |
Beachmama | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 07:01 am     I don't think that like my like totally watching the like feeds like seriously all the time is like having any like effect on me. Seriously, I like totally don't like think that. (ok.. so like maybe it is.) Anyone else find themselves picking up some of the mannerisims of the HG's? |
Sasman | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 07:14 am     When was shopping in a big department store, I kept an eye out on the security cameras as if I were on a live feed. |
Beachmama | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 07:19 am     I did that in the grocery store the other day Sasman ~ sometimes sitting around the house (usually with my laptop planted firmly on my lap) I look around wondering what people would think if they were watching in. (this show is making me nutso!) |
Naja | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 07:20 am     I am not joking or being sarcastic in any way when I tell you this little tale. Yesterday I working on a new script for a web page I am making. I got very stuck on a mistake on one line for a good couple hours. Yes, I was getting angry. I Had to write my scripting expert friend for some help and caught myself typing out "I am so PI$$ED off", but I ended up erasing it and replacing it with "I am so aggravated". Now that I hear how common "PI$$ED OFF" sounds coming out of Dana' mouth, I find I can't use the term any longer. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 07:27 am     I've found that putting one's hand up and saying "FOTH" when trying to shut down a line of conversation does not work outside the Land of Big Brother Addicts. It only incites momentary looks of consternation, the person talking will step back a few paces to put themselves out of arms reach, and continue with the conversation as if uninterrupted. |
Chelle | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 07:27 am     Duckball was the first thing that came to mind. I was playing a game with my kids Friday night where you toss this weighted things into two a large circle with a smaller circle inside. The hope is to get the object into the center circle. I was thikning how much more fun it would be with ducks. Maybe this is why my four year old is obsessed with rubber ducks. I also find that my children think that the computer is attached to my legs at this time of year. |
Secretsmile | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 07:52 am     When my husband comes home from work he asks, "Where are all the kids" and last week, I looked up from the live feeds and said, most of them are in the HOH! He did a double take, then having lived through BB before said, "Where are the ones we have to feed supper?". LOL, he never missed a beat! |
Curtisahahahaha | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 08:02 am     I gave myself a full pedicure last night and have decided that I'll work on my nails everytime I see Jun attending to hers or the HGs.

Bearware | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 08:15 am     ROFL Goddessatlaw! I am STILL LAUGHING - that is SO funny! and you're so right! but What a great concept! I may have to use that in my classroom! HAHAHAHa - you have made my day! |
Needmylifeback | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 08:43 am     Having PB&J for breakfast.... Laying in bed waiting for the "Wake Up Houseguests" call that never comes... Exiting the restroom and muttering "YES I DID WASH MY HANDS...DID YOU CATCH IT ON THE LF'S?" Thinking about what you are doing and how someone would type it....: Needs in the kitchen and gets out the PB&J uses the same knife for the PB as the J... rinses of knife and walks out of kitchen... Be very aware of each time you scratch a part of your body as to how it looks on-line... Wishing your house had a Diary Room just so you could go in and VENT!....Hmmmm...I've got a walk in closet that I could modify....big comphy chair...skylight that could be a window.... Wondering if you could really live without the General Discussions and LFP's while you are on vacation...or do you skip the beach time and find an internet cafe....(O.K. I survived the last three years without BB for 12 days...but, I was really relying on Bunny's summaries to make up for it all!) |
Bobbie_552001 | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 09:15 am     No one...no one understood why I was so excited that I had actually been awake and witnessed the first ever real live sex on Big Brother. They all think that I'm perverted or something...and she asks...is she?? |
Niceguy | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 09:17 am     Wednesday evenings are now off-limits to friends and family. That's kinda old news here. Goddess-at-law that really funny. Secretsmile that really is cute as well about the kids. |
