Lillyross | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 04:13 pm     Okay, Beruthiel if you're feeling too sorry for them, let's put things in perspective. They can sleep 16 hours a day. They are eating meals from 4 star restaurants...they're biggest challenge of the day is deciding which bathing suit to wear to the pool. Sounds like my idea of a vacation..no phone, no t.v., june to do all the cooking and allison and robert melting down for entertainment. Not to mention sun, food and drinks and getting paid for it. |
Beruthiel | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 04:41 pm     I know, Lillyross, but I would go stark, staring mad without anything to read, no TV, nor a canvas to paint, or a garden to weed, just to name a few examples! But I could go for the stipend!  |
Cinder | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 06:35 pm     I can't stand Ali acting like she is gagging. She has been doing it since day one- it showed itself again during Scott's banishment, and she continues to do it tonight. I understand she may not like the food- but she does not have to do that at someone merely mentioning the different types of food. |
Gina8642 | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:04 pm     Personally I'm getting really sick of Jun and Robert's "I'm better than Ali (or Nate) because I like exotic foods". Hello? This attitude just makes you look stuck up. Ali may not be very graceful about trying new foods, but Jun and Robert have irritated me with their attitudes more. Did they ever consider some people cannot digest some of these foods, or may be allergic? I eat very little seafood. Why? Because if I do, I will spend the night in the bathroom. It will come back out really fast, one way or the other. I like hot(spicy) foods, but can't eat very much without crying. Does this make me a bad person?? A culturally insensitive person? I don't think so. Never once have I heard them say - maybe Nate only wanted to eat chicken and plain rice because that is all his digestive system could take. Personally, I would not want to be trying an exotic, spicy, new food less than a few hours before a competition that decides my fate in the game. Just my opinion! |
Cinder | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 07:11 pm     I do agree- they seem to enjoy making Ali uncomfortable. She is so LOUD asking "Who the He** puts rice on everything" I think had she not started it when Justin walked in- and when Scott left- it may not have irritated me. I was thinking of the Scott incident and remembering how much I hated some of the HG's that night. |
Spear | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:39 pm     It's obvious that Ali, Nathan, and Justin were unwilling to try new food and not just avoiding foods they know they can't eat. Anyone with allergies or digestive problems would just say so (as Erika does with certain meats). Of course, no one should be forced to try unfamiliar food but there are a lot of ways to decline food politely. Tonight, Alison was continuously gagging and saying "Eew! Yuck! I'm going to throw up!". It's incredibly rude to do that when other people are enjoying the food. To her credit, Alison did try some of the tamer stuff and as she grows up, she'll probably become more adventurous with her eating choices. |
Beruthiel | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 12:25 am     Just got up from my sick bed to see what was happening with the POV... AAARRRGGGHHHHH! Okay, back to bed now that I won't have to scream aloud in anguish and traumatise my budgie. Wish I'd stayed in bed and remained in happy ignorance until tomorrow.  |
Misslibra | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 12:54 am     Beruthiel LOL I want to complain about BB showing the front door so long now that we are back Ali and Erika are in bed. I wonder what we missed. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 07:16 am     LOL at Beruthiel I guess I'm not as addicted to this show as I thougt. I laid down 'for just a minute' at midnight (9pm BB time) with every intention of getting back up and finding out who won. And bam!!! The sun is out. LOL |
Lorry | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:06 am     I have a great "attention span"... so I read the long posts, and unfortunately, in the case of Sunrose, I write the long posts. I apologize for being a rather long winded gal, but at my time in life, with my health problems getting out of hand, all I have left to brag about is my "long attention span"... hehe Sun, I tried to make this short just for you... but look.... see?.... I need someone to take my hands off these keys.... haha If you skipped my posts due to length, you did not miss anything too great or exciting... I bore myself sometimes. lol |
Tera | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:07 pm     I was just checking my RealOne Superpass subscription to see when my billing cycle ended. As luck would have it, it ends on the 22nd. (I signed up on day 1 with the 14 day free trial) That means I would have to pay for another full month of service just to watch the last 2 days! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR  |
Kalekona | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:08 pm     tera sign up for the free trial (i think it's 7 days now) using another e-mail. |
Tera | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:09 pm     OMG Kalekona... You are a genious!!! Thank you! |
Cinder | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:11 pm     Besides- the last two days aren't usually that exciting. I checked mine- it is the 23rd. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 02:22 pm     My complaint.. WORK and a TROPICAL STORM got in the way of my logging in this week! |
Lyn | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:14 am     I've been watching the LFs for four hours, and everyone but Erika is still in bed |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:17 am     I bet they're letting everyone else sleep as late as they want because there will be an endurance comp. tonight. |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 03:51 pm     I'm complaining about someone running down my squirrel. The one that's been getting into my house through a gap under my front steps. Today it's been hit by a car and is lying in the middle of the street in front of my house. It was so tame, it never ran away when we went outside, and would almost take a peanut from my hand, but it was running back and forth from the front yards of my neighbours, including those across the way, collecting all the spruce cones and tucking them under the plants in my flower beds, and under my steps, after it had finished collecting all of the cones on OUR spruce, and I kept saying that it hasn't enough fear, and now it's gone to squirrel heaven. I didn't want it in my house, but it had a personality, and I didn't want it to leave that way. Bummer.  |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 03:53 pm     Ohh........ I'm so sorry. That's awful. I'll send you one of mine if you want. I'll even throw in a rabbit if you like. |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 03:58 pm     Thanks, Clio, but I respectfully decline. Don't want to offend my squirrel's ghost.... |
Auntiemike | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:00 pm     Beruthiel: I'm sorry about your squirrel. We have plenty that run through our yard. They are now in their nut gathering phase, getting ready for Winter. Wish I could share a few with you. Unfortunately, we had one recently that was fried by the electrical wires. Ugh, a crispy critter. Anyway, I hate to see death in any form, so my condolences for missing your "friend". |
Lostintheglades | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:04 pm     Awww....I'm sorry Beruthiel...I had a squirrel at work like that and one day I actually had to witness him getting hit. I put him in a box a took him to a vet friend of mine but it was too late. I really missed him but it wasn't too long before I had another squirrel come to visit. |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:06 pm     Thanks Auntiemike. I know it's silly to feel sad about it, with all the other awful things happening in the world, but every living thing deserves to live it's life. |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:09 pm     Thanks Lostintheglades. I'm sure there will be another one next year too, I just hope it has more of a sense of danger than this one did. |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:10 pm     I feel so fortunate that were I live there's a small clump of trees, a mini forrest that houses all of this wildlife. We even have opossum (which I could quite frankly do without.) I saw an iguana one time, but iguana aren't really native to Tennessee. So I think he must have been a naturalized citizen. |
