Tksoard | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:10 pm  Tab? I haven't heard about that since the early 80"s!! Is it still around, or is it left over? |
Mishamisha | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:12 pm  I think Lance hijacked a truck of it somewhere in 1982 and is hiding it in an unused warehouse out there at Hanford. |
Wink | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:13 pm  Yeah it's waiting to go to the toxic waste dump |
Moondance | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:15 pm  Yeah... just where cheaterman should go! |
Wink | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:21 pm  I think the kitties are waiting for the naked dance young lady.   |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:32 pm  Howdy, everyone. Some of you may remember me, but most probably not. I used to be active during BB1, and followed Game 1, but fell out during Game 2 because of travel and work schedule. Would like to try to become more involved here, especially since BB2 is coming up this summer. Even though I haven't posted much, I feel like I know lots of you guys...! A little about me: I'm an American who lives in Canada, hence the user name. I am proud to be an American (most of the time, anyway!), but my heart is in Canada, I must admit. I work in the entertainment biz, but nothing salacious, I can assure you!! I travel quite a bit, but work most of the time from my home office, which is why my access to this board is sporadic -- I'm either really around, or not at all. No kids, no pets. Loved Big Brother, don't give two hoots about Survivor. Oh, and I'm female. I promise. |
Moondance | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:39 pm  HI Yankee! |
Karuuna | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:41 pm  welcome back, Yankee! Now, who do you favor in Survivor?  |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:45 pm  Karuuna -- Honestly, no one. Survivor doesn't interest me. I don't know, I think maybe at heart it seems mean-spirited. I was more interested in BB because of the possibility for me to witness and try to analyze interpersonal behavior and social structure. Unfortunately, the first BB houseguests didn't make that totally possible, but that's a whole OTHER story... |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 04:47 pm  Moondance -- Hi, back! |
Wink | Thursday, April 12, 2001 - 06:15 pm  Well gee Yankee if you want to analyze interpersonal behaviour you're in the right place. The survivor threads are especially compelling. Welcome back. |
Fruitbat | Friday, April 13, 2001 - 03:48 am  Karuuna! <laughing so loud, just awoke the household> "Walk toward the light Keith" Oh this is good, very good. Yankee...Welcome back! I remember you. |
Tess | Friday, April 13, 2001 - 11:07 pm  Hi there. I've been a lurker from the Big Brother days. You all carried me all summer long through my recovery from major surgery. I've laughed with you and cried with you. I've followed Juju across Australia and will be waiting to read about Nancy's adventures in England. I devoured every word about Big Brother and I'm in heaven checking out the Survivor threads every night as soon as my four year old goes to sleep. My darling husband hooked up my laptop so I can log on from anywhere in the house now and see what you all are up to. I am a stay at home mom who happens to be disabled. I do volunteer work in my free time and I am absolutely addicted to Survivor, Big Brother, The Mole and some non-reality shows as well. I've never posted anywhere on the internet before in my life but I've lurked on many sites. I want to tell you that this is by far the best site I've found with the nicest, most respectful and caring group of people who really know how to have fun with each other. Yes, I admit I followed Game II puzzles since I am a mystery lover and the trivia games were wild. Membership in your club was my birthday present to myself. I don't know that I'll have enough nerve to post very often but you should all know how much you brighten up the days of some people who can't always be up and about. I thank you very much. Oh, and Resort Girl is absolutely right, Minnesota is paradise in September. I've been here for 23 years now. Love the Bat. Hate the Hat. Go Rodger. Go Elizabeth. |
Maire | Friday, April 13, 2001 - 11:39 pm  Thanks for sharing with us Tess. I agree with you about the people here, although I can't say I've been around to other boards and can't make the comparison, but I like it here so much, I ain't goin' no where! I don't post very much myself, but I'm here, and I read most everything myself. Love the Bat. Love the Hat. |
Kearie | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 12:38 am  {{{Tess}}} welcome |
Tess | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 01:34 am  Thanks for the hug, Kearie. I know people have some pretty raw emotions right now from reading the different threads. It's easier for me perhaps, being and outsider, to find the good in people since I haven't been hurt directly by any of the goings on. I haven't read the Game II Discussions and probably never will so I can only imagine how people who participated are feeling betrayed and shocked. I was flabergasted myself. But I had no emotional investment yet, so while I am baffled as to why things happened, I don't feel the personal insult. This has been all like a good book that keeps me up all night. I've also read the threads that involve the discussion regarding you and Laf. Since you are definitely in the middle of what is for you anything but a hypothetical situation, again, I can see why feelings are so hurt. But, maybe it is better at this point to focus on people who you feel support you as a person. I can't believe I even have the nerve to interfere so soon. I just try so hard to find the good in people especially when it's the hardest. No one else can make us happy. We are responsible for that all on our lonesomes. Y'all may kick me back out after this post but I trust you. I hope to get to know most of you in the future. Thanks to Maire for the Hi. You really are sweet. Back to lurker mode. Can you tell sleeping isn't something I do very well? |
Wink | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 05:34 am  Welcome Tess. I too love the Bat but KEITH RULES. |
Resortgirl | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 06:03 am  Hi Tess! My dad lives in Bloomington so I get there often! Nice to sse a Minnesotan on the board. It is a really wierd time here with the tuk/Guru mess but all in all this is a REALLY nice bunch of people. Promise you will post because I for one get sick of reading my posts. It will be nice to read fresh perspectives on everything. WELCOME!! |
Fruitbat | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 06:07 am  Hi Tess and welcome. And thanks for the love note. |
Tksoard | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 08:01 am  Hi Tess!! I'm a newbie, too. I've been reading and once in a while I comment on subjects since Big Brother. I love this site and everyone on it. I have Web TV, so I can't watch the live shots of BB, but I read every single line that these fantastic people wrote on this site. I got so hooked, that before I turned it off everyday, I wrote down the time and person reporting so I could start up and not miss a word. These people here NADE BB for me, and I appreciate them so much. I don't know about the squabbles because I don't follow the games. I tried, but got confused and lost, so I gave up. I also can't get into the chats because of WebTv. I wish I could, cause I could get to know these people better, but I am so grateful that I'm welcome here. Welcome to you, Tess, and I hope you will find this THE site to get addicted to. |
Kearie | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 08:18 am  Welcome TK No worries about your input Tess. My feelings aren't so much hurt by people's response to me and Laf. I get frustrated by the sarcastic, snide remarks. I think they are uncalled for. It is one thing to disagree with a behavior or an action...it is okay to state an opinion about it; It is a completely different story when one uses words to tear a person down. Why call a person names? (the tounge is mighter than a sword).... to me it just seems mean. I certainly don't feel like you "interfered so soon". I appreciated your input. You are correct in that we should focus on people who are positive towards us. However, certain people like to push or buttons for attention or whatever. We are their source of amusement. I personally think they need to find a good book and expand their mind. After all, drama is entertainment. |
