Big Brother 8 is coming…

sawing and pounding noises fading away There! I think I’m going to like it here! When p2 gets here with candles for some atmosphere.. It’ll be justlike home. Is that AC that I see coming down the cyber highway?

Ok, Satellite Dish installed, internet connect up and running. Be back later. I left some cyber crumbs for K11, P2 & Stra. I’m sure they’ll find ’em. Hope P2 dosen’t vacuum them up. 😀

justa, thank you so much for building us this treehouse. who is your avatar?

thanks, AC. though it was someone from Survivor, but didn’t recognize her with the “war paint.”

ok, but if k11 doesn’t show up by tomorrow i’m sending out the hounds. he hasn’t been on SS either. and yes, half a page of comments would be right!

thanks for the smile. late for work, justwanted to check in. more later, of course…

i have snake’s personal e-mail address. this was the “thing” i was going to tell you.

i contacted him when F-off Ben was writing and explained that aggie (a grandmother?) and I had been called bitches, PK, k11, et al had been personally attacked and it was terribly inappropriate language and use of the space. also, that the women who post to the site should not be subject to his vitriol. apparently snake agreed ’cause he contacted BBBlogger and all F Ben’s comments were immediately removed with the note from BBB and a follow up from snake and an e-mail to me.

it was just over the top, justa. i apologized to snake for using his personal email that he had given to me for something else, but he told me he didn’t mind.

however, i think you are correct. he works very hard on his SS blog and is doing a great job. i was concerned about his feelings, if he found this and felt left out of the tree house club. (remember me and feelings, no not that horrible song!) i wondered about the same thing. we can always touch base with moose and snake on SS but the 4 of us (plus star if we can find her) would be great to have here.

should i bring a floral wreath for the door? these are all things i already have in my home, and i’m trying to clear out some of the excess. remember, i moved 6 months ago and still have one room completely full of boxes. i also have several spare sets of china if we want to have dinner together one night.

love to you all, kevin come back, i’m worried.

k

A “guy” club? Hell no. It’s no fun without the ladies. 😉 Hmmm. A veranda for a treehouse. I’ll leave that up to JT. He has the hammer and nails. I’ll throw on a coat of paint. 8) Wheres my binoculars? I wonder if we can see Russia from the treehouse? 😀

At least Mrs. Palin was the Hot Governor. 😉

BTW pretty new flowers. 😀

Hmmm. K11 hasn’t been on since 9/29. Thats the day F Ben’s comments were removed from the SS blog. And I’m guessing F Ben was banned. And K11 hasn’t commented since. You don’t think BBB accidentally banned him too?

*huffs, puffs, tries to catch breath* Man..did you guys build this treehouse HIGHER than the last one??!! I’m not so good with heights….gets a lil dizzy…or dizzIER, considering the blonde thing……lol

I have been reading the TH blog occasionally and also the SS. I really TRIED but I actually can’t STAND Survivor, so chatting there seemed a waste of time. Sal couldn’t get the SS email to mine..and it seemed he didn’t try very hard as he totally ignored my last request so I just kinda stopped blogging. I still don’t get it cuz I got all the BB ones and all the Survivor ones last year. And really alot of peeps I liked talking to (you guys included) like Kim and Margie and Skelly and Donna Rose..the list goes on…apparently aren’t survivors fans either, and it just didn’t feel the same anymore. You really need to like the show you are talking about and pay some attention to it..it DOES come up in the blog!!lol Guess I will have to wait untill the next BB to get involved again.

And I really kind of dropped the ball here and you guys seem to have gotten so close that I really kind of feel like an outsider by now. You guys are SO tuned inio each other and have so many inside jokes, I am not sure if I can just slip right back in. But, if you don’t mind I may stop by occasionally. 🙂
And I wouldn’t worry about Kev11..he’s a big boy. He went 49 years without blogging and survived just fine! 😉 I am betting on either puter probs or he just needed a break. (I am sure k11 could give you all the odds!) It can get very intense in here and time consuming. Maybe he just needed some time to come up for air….or go outside..lol I think that’s what happened to me.

Anyway, hope you don’t mind that I *found* you guys. I AM an interior designer, BTW, so if you want any help decorating the tree house..just let me know!!:)

*waves and blows kisses* Good to see y’all! And don’t lean too far over that side..I don’t think Justa is done with it yet…..:)

i wrote that before i read your post. i just saw your name and started (blonde) jumping for joy. mind, we WANTED you here. you haven’t read all the where is Star and we wish she was here stuff on the original treehouse. that was BB11’s 1st post, if i’ve got it right. can’t say it enough. miss you.

an interior designer? i almost went into that field. i do it unofficially for my friends. it is definately a passion. but we’ll combine our tastes and make a nice home for the men-folk. it is more intimate here. that’s why we wanted you girl, you ARE one of us, you and justa and k11 and AC let me in the club.

i put new flowers in the house just to welcome you. some cerise sprigs. thought they would go with the nice outdoorsy (yet not to quaint) feeling of the treehouse. gotta love a treehouse with indoor plumbing and a dishwasher!

LOL!!

love, k

p2…WOW!! Thanks for the warm welcome back!! *hugs*
S0rry to hear you are under the weather..and the quilts. It’s that time of year tho…FLU SEASON!! I got my shot this week, just to be safe! Good thing too if we are going to be sleeping in a possibly drafty(no offense Justa…justhenatureof)treehouse!!lol) Boy, both blonde, both into decorating…was one of us adopted??;) I didn’t read ALL of the posts from the last TH, but I will go back and do so when I have time. Pretty close tho I am betting. Glad we have all the modern conveniences of home here..I don’t *ruff* it well!! Good thing BB is in the summer months or Justa would have to be putting in AC too!!(not OUR AC..he’s already here!!)

Scarecrow!! So good to cya!!*hugs* I can totally relate to the weather you are having..exact same here! It BITES! At least 10 degrees colder than it should be! And I’m sure that isn’t helping you but you prolly aren’t getting enough sleep, kiddo and are justplainexausted from all the OT! Your immune system is on it’s last legs right now! And if you feel like you are getting sick, well…your body is giving you a heads up! Doesn’t sound like you have the priviledge of a sick day right now.:( Drink echinecea tea ..it really helps me when I feel crud coming on. PLUS it just feels good cuz it’s HOT! Celetial Seasonings is the best! It’s called echinecea complete care . Sometimes you can get it in a grocerystore but I get it at a health food store…too *potent* for the poor grocer, I guess. Anyway, it’s full of good things for your immune system. We can’t have our founder and builder faltering!! We’d be up a tree!!!hehehe *tucks him into bed all snuggly warm*

Did Franks ever find us?? He’s our 4th in the Wiz Kids ensemble. Miss our Lion!

And P2..yes! Mercury WRETCH was over on 9/29!! We are FREE! Free at last!!lol And Justa..I am doing better now, thanks! Was just one of those days/weeks.

How are we supposed to cook for eveyone ,p2?? IS there a stove up here?? Getting cold, gotta have warm comfort food! Hope it’s electric tho..don’t think we want a WOOD burning one , if ya know what I mean….lol Candles might be a lil dangerous too….but if we get electricity….*hugeassgrin* Are we asking too much here guys??LOL

Well, it’s off to see the Wizard for me. But don’t worry..won’t take a HOUSE to fall on me next time to know I am always welcomed!! 😉 I’ll just follow the yellow brick road back home……..

Peace, love and light,
Star, Stra, Dorothy

Welcome back Dorothy? We been waiting on you girl.

No need to climb. Just click them heels and say “There’s no place like Treehome, There’s no place like Treehome” and….
*Poof* 😀

Ladies, ladies. Dishwasher? Stove? Kitchen? Bathroom? Blowdryers? Makeup Mirror? Is this still a treehouse? We may never have to leave. What day does the trash go out? 😆

P2…. Star was referring to Franks as 4th in their Wiz Of Oz click. Franks is the Lion. And BTW Jordo, he would be 6th if you were counting us all. 😉

p2, Good call! i was thinking of some type of elevator as well. i feel better now… still not sure if I’m catching/caught something. I felt absolutely horrible this morning.. justwanted to throw the alarm across the room. I remembered what you tode me, and I just pushed on. I think it helps to be up moving around.. we’ll see what I feel like in the morning. I know how much you love Monday Night Football.. so I wont keep you long. Are you feeling better? I gotta go take out the treehouse garbage now.. Kev11?? Vikes-Packers and still not a word from you? I’m not the paranoid type, but throw some words in here to put us at ease. Hey p2, make you a deal.. you can have all the things you want in the treehouse.. if I can put the big-screen in for football…. and tv/movies Tuesday through Friday. Deal?

oh, justa. i was thinking about the issue of moving. i think we’ll (you) justfind a new spot when necessary and bring the already built and decorated treehouse with us. that way, we don’t have to keep rearranging furniture and you and AC don’t have to spend very much time on building. just clearing the land.

a mobile treehouse, so to speak. sound good?

hi star, here is where the candle light is, if you got my message at the end of the 10/5 SS blog.

where can i locate a decent, free horoscope per day, kinda thing. just been curious, lately.

so sorry you lost your long post. i was looking forward to connecting with you… you alway give us something to think about!

AC, looking at your avatar… the BEST rendition of “When the Saints go Marching In” is on the Bruce Springfield CD of his live concert in Ireland, Dublin i think. also think it can be located on You Tube. we found it for the funeral of a friend’s family member (who had specifically requested that song). Even for the nonreligious or non spiritual, it is a really great version. justanote…

justa, keep up your strength while you’re working so hard.

k11, looking forward to seeing you again when you pop back in.

AC, it took me until late Sunday afternoon to count to 6 “your” way. sigh…

oh, please. i was doing inventory – NOT firing on all cylinders. had to get in a nap on Sunday before the brain worked on numbers again.

and the only relation to jordo is im strawberry blonde, today.

the attrition rate is getting desperate. no k11, justa working too hard, star popping in and out….

i don’t know AC, how do we keep our dysfunctional little family together until July?

If I’m not mistaken, midnight (BBblog time) will be exactly 11 days since we have heard from kev11 (at the treehouses). I still can’t believe how touched he was about my little tribute to a friend. I teared up a bit reading how moved he was by that. It just reinforced what we all already knew.. kev11 does have a huge heart and these woods feel a bit empty without him here. Hopefully there’s some magic left in the 11 connection and he’ll post something tonight. I know that until I have something new to read from him, I can’t think of 2 more meaningful posts for me to read than his last two. I have re-read those quite a few times. Where you at bro? Miss ya.

So I didn’t sleep for the 16 hrs… I gave it a hell of a try though. I did wake up early and peeked out the window.. a dusting of snow! WTF? I was more than happy to pull the covers back over my head. High temp today of 39 degrees. Brrrr… F that!! I caught up on watching SS today. I guess it is pretty obvious who will get voted off.. most of the time. Depending on who wins the next challenge, Monica or Ashley seem most likely to go. We need a veto in this game.. too predictable. I still enjoyed watching though. The next step is to catch up on reading SSblog.. not tonight though. psst.. AC, don’t tell p2, but I think I’ll kick my feet up on the coffee table and watch some football.. maybe a little LSU-Florida. SEC on a 65″ HDTV, care to join in AC? Hell, you prolly went to that game. If I close this door, p2 wont even see my feet on the table… maybe she doesn’t care if I put my feet up.. as long as I do it in the man-cave room. First, I gotta go back to TH-1 and check out the “blacked out” comments. That has me very curious.. I didn’t think this was being monitored any more… “dormant”, I believe was the term BBBlogger used..

Snow? I’ve seen that once or twice. lol.

Didn’t go to the LSU-Fla game, but I did watch it. Was a disappointing outcome. Too many stupid penalties (Lining up offsides). 🙄 No offense (Jordan Jefferson just frustrates me sometimes). Defense can’t stop the dive play (How many times can Fla run the same play on you before you figure it out?) And they got away with one on that touchdown pass. But I gotta say the best team one tonight. K11, what you think?

Yeah. Saints off this week. We got the 5-0 Giants next week. Gonna be Eli Manning’s first game in the Superdome ever. Battle of the undefeated. We gotta keep up with them Vikings. 😀

AC!! It’s funny that you mention the movie Race With The Devil. That was one of my favorites as a kid.. and I can’t figure out how it scared me back then either! I saw it in the theaters back then and was blown away by the final scene!! A circle of flames around the motor home was too much! I guess the cult angle was scary to me. Other movies from my childhood that scared me were Burnt Offerings, The Omen 1 & 2, Phantasm, and The Amityville Horror. I was also a huge fan of The Omega Man, The Warriors, & Escape From New York Did you see those as a kid? Whenever I think of Race With The Devil, I think of a mini review that was in TV Guide. They would list the movies in the back and give a short critique and number of stars rating…… Like: Gone With The Wind ..a Civil War time love story.. 5 Stars. For RWTD it was simply this (not making it up). Race With The Devil… for the exits! I liked the movie, but had to give the nod to that writer… that was funny.

The Omega Man has been remade in many versions.. most recently, I Am Legend with Will Smith. I didn’t like that version, but you should check out Charleton Heston’s version from the 70’s. It doesn’t hold up that well with time (as most of these movies don’t).. so maybe it’s one of those that you had to see as a kid… and leave it there. I would still recommend reading the book. We had to read it in 7th grade and it is still one of my favorites. Of course the book is way better than the movie… as is true in most cases. I watched The Ametyville Horror a few years ago for the first time in ages… talk about not holding up!! Finding Nemo was scarrier than that piece of sh#t! I watch Dexter on Showtime, it’s funny to see James Remar (from The Warriors) on there as Dexter’s Dad!

Thanks AC!! pay attention to that man behind the curtain... he knows what the f#ck he's doing!! Do HTML codes work on SSblog??

Thanks again AC.. let me try it… :smile:… :arrow:… :!:… 💡

guess that answers that…. about HTML.. does it work on SSblog? I haven’t tried it yet but have noticed some italics in your posts.

oh for the love of moose! when you guys disappear into the man cave i lose my nicely decorated, candle-scented, full loaded treehouse with all appliances and a elevator!

i tried 08/05, where i thought it was, but no luck. will one of you get me home, please? star’s not here and my ruby slippers just don’t work in the man cave!!

You went through the wrong door 😀

jt, life is much better. i called the local border crossing which is 15 minutes away and talked to US Immigration. ok, back up, i’m speaking princess.

i had a bad feeling about the enhanced driver’s license last night and i just KNEW it would take a few weeks to get one. went on-line (yes, i’m detail oriented when i don’t need to be) and found out i can’t get one because i’m not a US Citizen. i’m still canadian, and have had my green card for about 20plus years. (got my first when i was married at 20 and my second one when we moved back from justouside Hope where they filmed First Blood/was there heard the stories/Sly’s helicopter crashed into a tree) to return to Chicago for the second, Clarendon Hills, trip. just across the hiway from where k11 grew up, we shopped at the same Jewel food store, remember). so i called the Blaine US immigration office and explained my problem regarding the death in the family, etc. apparently, according to the lovely lady i sobbed to, there is no problem. canada cannot refuse entry to one of its own citizens and the US only requires my green card as proof for my reentry. so, since we have a preplanned family event on sunday afternoon, and i need to go up to be with my mother – unless my sister calls me and tells me what the results of her visit to the funeral home are/were – i’ll get a trial run w/o a passport.

my boss was worried about me so he talked me into coming into work this afternoon. put out some fires, answered e-mails and came home. i think it’s just the shock. there are literally hundereds of people to contact. she had an orphanage in India for about 40 years (with her husband who passed away 3 years ago) pastored a church for 30 years and wouldn’t retire until 88, and belongs to several ministerial organizations. fortunately, we are getting assistance with the notifications from the new church pastor and the western head of the association. the national head called mum this morning (she’s also a minister, missionary, and pastor if i didn’t mention that…) to offer his condolences.

definitely a little worried about my mum. she’s getting more frail and this was so sudden to us.

anyway, sorry for the novella, but thank you for asking.

Glad to hear that things are working out as good as can be expected at such a bad time. I hope all continues to go well.. under the circumstances anyway.

funny p2, I was thinking the same thing (about PK). I just don’t want to say anything because everybody really eats up all his stories. I like personal info… but he often takes it a bit too far.. and does come off as bragging. He is funny and interesting.. but there is a fine line there.

ohhh, a possible game? p2 knows what I like! Anything to make things more exciting and I’m all for it! I think he’s been dancing over that line for quite a while. I kind of feel bad for Vanessa. She got left hanging and must believe that we are all blind. I guess she asked for it though. I agreed with most of what she said.. just couldn’t bring myself to chime in any support.

p2 plans + evil chuckle = great fun for JT!!

they erased my awaiting moderation comment. this may be more difficult that i first thought.

Loved the movie First Blood. Didn’t remember where it was filmed. There are a lot of movies that were great that almost turned into a running joke because of too many sequils(sp?). Rocky was good. Nightmare on Elm Street was good. Halloween was good. Friday the 13th was good. Saw was good. Alien was good. I think people tend to forget the greatness of the original when there are so many (I’m going to mispell this again) sequils? HELP spell check!!

sequel

80 miles outside of where i grew up in Hope, BC. 20 miles or so from where i was then living in Chilliwack (no joke) BC. Hope is 100 miles from vancouver. Sly was staying in a private residence because there were no suitable amenities. he was supposed to fly into a club in vancouver, helicopter crashed and he broke several ribs, bad bruising. had to postpone shooting for a little while for him to heal. the business woman he stayed with has a credited bit part near the end of the movie, walking a baby carriage in front of, i think, her own house. credited! no speaking lines. she owned a business in “the mall” and i worked on the other side of her store. her employee and i got to be friends and i heard stories…

i can’t do all those smiley things, but that’s ok. we’ll find a way to spice SS up a bit. snake is working VERY hard on it. i really appreciate everything he’s done to keep us interested in a once per week show.

i swear, i did not have sexual relations with his women!

oh batshit, now starfish is doing it. an ode to the roaring free love 70’s.

Awaiting moderation?… You must have a new alias. 😉

Guess I better go check out SS. BBL

Be Back Later 🙄

why, whatever do you mean?

what did i ever do (right) to deserve you, JT.

There is another game afoot btw. You 2 got it figured out yet?

RUV?

😆

Just having some fun with “J Peterman”. (Seinfeld reference… if you’re not familiar)
