I’ll add that Kar’s suggestion above is absolutely on the mark. We never know what life will bring and sweating the small stuff just isn’t worth the energy and grief.
Let’s have a great Big Brother season!

Yeah, its been a rough year here for sure. I losk my mom, and since my sister was killed in 1981, I have been her emotional support. Losing her was like losing a child because our roles were really reversed when my sister was killed. I really spent my life waking up every morning thinking of her first, and now its just weird and lonely. I work from home which was a blessing to be here for her, but now its just silent. I have two dogs which does help a lot. Definitely looking forward to losing myself in BB this year, but I usually end up bored after the first week, Really hoping for another Season 6!!!! All of us have tough stuff going on, Im sure. Im just glad to have this place to come since 2000!!! Im trying to find a purpose for my life again, since its been my mom for 30 years...I guess its NOT the OWL countdown!! lol I should have just put ISH after every number!! haha. Honestly, the whole thing is so dumb...I just REALLY don sweat the small stuff lately, Im reading the book Let Them right now...its pretty good so far!

So sorry about your Mom, Christiii.
Well, none of us are getting any younger and with age there are additional challenges for sure. It’s nice to be able to take a break and have some fun watching and discussing shows like Big Brother.
Thanks to everyone here for making it a fun experience.

I love both Christiii and Naja, and have no idea when BB is starting this season.
I am really, really old now (was only a youthful 52 when I started here) and most of us still here were much younger. I remember when Lazylu was 74, and I thought she was REALLLLy old! Heh.

I just want to say I'm really sorry. There must have been a tone in my post that was read into it. Because in my mind it was just conversational tone. After I first mentioned the mistake, I really thought the response would be something like "oops, lol, I'll catch it on the next one". I'm really sorry Christiii. I really wasn't trying to make a big deal out of it.

I am dreading this season. Timing couldn't be worse as I surely will be moving home possibly during the season so I won't be able to sink into it like usual and have the whole rebuild, getting internet and WiFi transferred, movers to move furniture, somehow treating furniture with termites, replacing appliances that were sent away. But I will keep the table up and appreciate the helpful posts in that thread.
Juju, stop saying really really old .. Makes me feel just a little bit really older.

Naja oh my gosh dont worry about it!!! People are different!! Its OK!!
Juju, I am 63....never married, no kids, with my mom passing I am completely alone. I really spent my life trying to make her proud and happy...and she could be very critical. I think is because I never married or had kids, but I am still completely immature....Ive started buying old barbies and toys from my childhood, and they are expesice because Im old!! lol. I also just got into the Labbubu craze...not getting blind boxes, butt getting the ones I really like on ebay...Ive always loved this kind of stuff over "adult" stuff lol. You are NEVER old...only if you THINK you are. I should be dating and trying to make a future, and Im on some dating apps, but they all look so old!! LOL yuck!! Yet I don't want to date anyone younger because then I will seem old to them!! lolol. So I will continue on with my old barbies, dogs, zombie movies and Labubu and not be judged by anyone haha.
Sea: I moved home in 2011, one to be with my mom, but also because my boutique when out of business during that income crash. I felt defeated. I got a job with the State of California, and have been working with Covered CA ever since. We started working from home during Covid and it was a blessing to be here for my mom. We are still home, and have no plans to go back. I and just here by myself, with my dogs and it is what it is...now its what I make it...everything is in front of me...and it is for you too Sea. BB can be a great escape.
Im here if you need to talk! Im Christi Morris in Lodi Ca on Facebook!!
hugs to you ALL!

I love my old toys. I keep them on a shelf in a glass case. I also love looking at them in antique shops.
Can't wait for BB to start! i don't watch the feeds, but I love hearing about them here.

I still have my Suki little kiddle! I don't have her walker, but I still have her and her blue dress. And I have a couple of Dawn dolls.
I'm waiting for all the fun summer stuff to start: Bach in Paradise and BB. Come all already, it's 95 degrees -- bring on the summer shows!
