sorry: I meant Jacqueline and Louise in the second paragraph of my last post. (I need a proof-reader...)

Enigma: I took the comments as tongue-in-cheek, don't worry <grin> I can understand how you might feel a bit outnumbered at times!

Thanks so much Enigma, I hope the same thing. Yesterday I spent literally 9 hours painting. Ack!!! Took a 45 min break while some stuff dried but that 45 min was spent cleaning other stuff. Finally got some food in the belly at 4:30. I am so looking for to some peace....oh yea!

Oh, I just found this thread.....I love it. Hi Everybody!!!

My name is Ginger and I'm a grandmother (twice).

I live in Louisiana just north of Lake Pontchartrain. I'm retired from aerospace (Space Shuttle Program) and need something to keep me busy, so I do the newsletter for my subdivision and the Newcomers Club here and spend a lot of time at TVCH. I also like to spoil for some of the reality shows, but I keep it all in the spoiler section.

TVCH and the friends here are the greatest!!!

LOL Love the pic! I was wondering about all the bead necklaces and Catfat has said Mardi Gras!!

Looks like a pic for GRANDMAS GONE WILD!! Woo hoo

It must be so much fun!! Are there non alcoholic areas during Mardi Gras? It always looks like a huge out of control party when I have seen it on TV.

I have been reluctant to post this, but

Where is Lorry?

Since the first time I came into this Survivor chat room, Lorry had been posting several times a day –and in every thread– and I have gotten used to seeing her name over there on the left, and paying special attention to what she had to say. She started this thread and –if you look back a bit– she has always been kind-hearted: specially welcoming 'lurkers' and making them feel wanted.

But she has not posted for two days.

Well, I'm telling myself that it's silly to be worried because someone has not posted in a chat room, but there it is... I keep telling myself that this is 'just' someone in a chat room; or that maybe she became bored; or maybe she has gone on a vacation. But...

I have noted that some of you folk know each other outside of the chat. I do not want to intrude on her privacy. But I would just like to know that she is alright.

From someone who is feeling rather silly about posting this....

Enigma...I did a search on Lorry and found where she made a post early yesterday morning in the Brothers of Poland New Hampshire thread. She probably just got busy with real life and hasn't checked in lately. I'm sure it will make her happy that you have missed her. :)

Here I am Enigma!!! lol... Gosh, Kady looking for my posts, you wondering where I am... makes an old gal feel young again!!! hehe

I'll tell you what went on... When the Survivor Pearl Islands started, I had this great idea to invite my family, and some friends over to a Pirate Theme get together, to watch the show.. and I made them all dress up a bit like pirates...

It was fun... great... but... lol Now they come over each Thursday evening... and we watch the show, and then talk and talk and guess about who is next to go...... and keep threatening to fly a banner over the islands...hahahaha

You know how it is.... I kind of wish I could watch alone, but hey, my daughter-in-law made a huge platter of coconut shrimp and her famous Ambrosia dessert.. so who am I to complain??? lol

I kept saying all night that I couldn't wait to hear what everyone here had to say about the show, but anyway... better late than not at all.

Btw, you have no idea how good it made me feel to know you cared enough to ask... that is why TVCH is the absolute best... the people... all of you... are indeed the best.

Lorry: Well, I 'am' feeling foolish now. But things didn't seem quite-right here without you. And here I was worrying while you were just partying.

After your last post, I was afraid that your sons had taken away your computer in an effort to protect you. (I got up early this morning and wrote a summary for Woofy. I received a 'thank you.' As of yet, I have not been contacted by the FBI or CBS or a process-server or anyone. –joke–)

It's just good to see you 'home' again.

I'm giving this thread a bump so that it will hopefully encourage any lurkers to please, please join in the fun!!!

We need you!!! We need a diversity of opinion, and we can't talk to ourselves all the time... lol most of all we want to make you feel welcome and part of the group.

A really nice lady (Whit4U) has been trying her best to find out what TVCH can do to help all of us feel like part of the TVCH family... She's going to eventually write up a little guide to help those of us not familiar with posting on the boards.. how to get over our shyness of posting.

One thing we can do is get to know one another... and be ourselves and take the plunge... so come on all you lurkers and shy ladies and gents... this is my first time (after lurking for years) to really contribute to the discussions. If I can do it... anyone can. Join me and the other great people here... we can't wait to meet you!!!

Well, let me add something to my bio:

Is anyone else as addicted as I have become to HBO's "Carnivale?" It is so, so wierd. (And those opening credits!! I think I can duplicate the process in an animated 3-D computer program, and am looking forward to trying...)

Hi all, just thought i'd take the plunge, join TVCH, and actually add a post. I've been in lurk mode here for several years, enjoying BB, through the eyes of TVCH'ers. I held my fingers until BB was over before signing up because...I was afraid I'd cause way too many brawls during BB4. Not to mention how intimidating the BB boards were. So once again Hi all, and Enigma if you want to bend my gender to up your tally of men, feel free(lol).

Hey StillLurking... change your name.. now that you aren't lurking... and it's great to have you aboard.

I read your profile... sounds a lot like my bed at home... hehe

Welcome... keep posting... enjoy yourself.

Lorry

Enigma: Yep, count me as a Carnivale freak...lol

I have no idea why I watch it... it's almost depressing, somewhat disturbing, and not all of it makes sense... but like a car wreck, I can't stop watching.

I'm trying to figure out why the Reverend has the same dreams as the young guy... I am think it might be his "father"??? Or am I waaaaaay off base here??? lol

Welcome, Stilllurking. Yes, indeed, you are welcome to join the all-male team (no descrimination here). I have found 5 guys for a challenge against the Morganites, but I'm a bit short for a challenge against the Drakettes. If it came down to a one-on-one, you would, of course, be pitted against Rupert (It's not that we guys are –ehem– afraid of Rupert –ehem. It's just that we would like to affort you the –ehem– honor...) (You may have to scratch yourself, ocassionally, in unaccustomed places.)

Lorry: exactly my feelings (re Carnivale). Sometimes I don't have a clue...but I just have to keep watching...

Regarding the two inquiries above about Mardi Gras in my area. I live North of Lake Pontchartrain and the parties and parades there are very, very, very mild compared to what you may or may not have read about New Orleans. What did I have to do for the beads.....just stand on the side of the road and catch them being thrown off the floats. The stuffed animal you see me holding was thrown to me by a dear friend whose hubby was on my prayer-chain and he is in remission right now!!! As for the drinking....I'm the DD (Designated Driver)..........(LOL)

Wow!!! Thanks for such a warm welcome. Thanks all, you were right it wasn't as scarey and painful as I thought it would be.
Enigma, count me in, I'm your man, eh,... I mean woman.
Nice to meet you Squared and Lorry.

Hi my name is Gloria but most of you know me as Eggie, Eg, or just plain old Egbok. I'm 49 years old (eeekk! can't believe I actually confessed to that age...I sure don't feel 49! LOL!!), and I work full time credentialing physicians who want to hold clinical privileges at our hospital. It's a great job and I love what I do!!

I've been married to my dh for 25 years but we've been going "steady" for 33 years, we are high school sweethearts. I (we) have 3 kidlets, DD is 22 and working on her Credential/Masters in Education, DS#1 is 19 and is studying Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering and DS#2 is 18 and is studying Communications and Music. The two DS's are only 13 months apart and I swear, I don't remember how that happened and I totally blame it on my dh! LOL!!

I only participate on this board, ever since BB1. I've been on a TVCH BB Angel mission with Moondance before the start of BB2. That "mission" was a fun, fun time and I'm so glad I got to meet Moonie!

I've come to know many other posters and some of them I intend to meet someday...

I hope that all of you come on over to the Community and General Discussion threads and get to know me. I'd love to get to know you!

And Eliz, I've bookmarked your Basket site and I'll be placing an order soon!

Hello! I just wanted to jump in and say hello to the lurkers. I normally lurk myself but this year I keep jumping in with my comments on Big Brother and now on Survivor!
