As you were.

Heh, thanks, Tsy. As always, you are apparently the only one who can count to 300 and open a new thread when it's needed.

There was a question in the previous thread about donations. I'm pleased to announce that we are open for business now, so anyone who is able to donate to Fisty's care and feeding can do so by clicking the Donations link at the top of the page. Fisty thanks you!

Hee! I was so pleased when I got the emial tonight. Ready for another season with y'all.

Don't know much what to say, that I haven't said already.

The school year was really great. Unbelievable kids. First year in my entire career that I didn't write ONE SINGLE disciplinary referral. Well, I wrote one, but it was for eating beef jerky in class- I hardly think that counts, do you? Honestly, I have never had such an amazing year with kids. they were ready and willing to learn, and if I could have kept up with the paperwork, they would have done massive amounts of work every week without complaint. They seem to really care about learning and imporving their skills- even the ones that don't care about grades. So tell that to anyone who is worried about the younger generation... there are some terrific ones out there, too. I'm not starry eyed enough to think this trend will continue forever, but I sure am going to enjoy it now!

That's pretty much it. That and gardening (for endangered insects and wetlands speicies), classic cars (1970s chevelle and corvette), hell's kitchen, cops and other shows (I love white trash TV) and of course...


HAMSTER TIME! *dances* ...break it down now...

Giving famewhores the finger for 5 years. Tee hee.

Hi Y'all! You may have read that I'm no longer on staff, but I may show up here and there. I'll be undertaking yet another international move right in time for the season, so chances are I'll need to invest my time and energy into that (hallo, Munchen!) moreso than the famewhores.

This year has been NUTS. Tons of travel - Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Canada, Austria; Crazy ups and downs at work and severly cutting back on my job to take on freelance translating; A boy, who was merely a distraction during last season, but for whom I'm now relocating to Germany. So there you have it! I'll try to pop in here and there but don't think I'll have much opportunity to watch feeds or the shows...

It sounds like we need live feeds of your life, rappy, you jet-setter! *envious*

Happy birthday, lifey!

***

ETA: OMG, it's a national emergency! I just read that Booger is listed in People magazine's new Hottest Bachelors issue!

Apparently, America really is headed on the road to ruin..

Good to hear from you, rappy!!

Hey can we come crash on your couch in Germany during Ocktoberfest?

Glad things are going well for you, Rappy; hopefully you'll at least update us here on occasion, even if you can't play with Fisty.

Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes.

Happy, happy birthday, Lifey. Hope there is sushi and martinis involved!

Happy belated birthday, Life! Too bad one of us is getting older!

*winks*

Happy Belated b-day Lifey! 21 looks good on you!



BTW - I don't think the mods should be trusted with "on topic" sticks. They'll poke their eyes out.

Off topic! BANNED!

You know they'd run with them in there hands!

Hey, *my* "on topic" stick has glitter and sequins on it. You're just jellus because you don't have one!

Well, my "on topic" stick is firm but nicely gentle.

Er, that didn't come out quite right, did it?

And buffy, what is that in your avatar? Is that the new fast food place where you're working??

Buffy's avatar looks suspiciously like a Waffle House to me. I think she's pimping our heroine Julia from Hell's Kitchen. (Go Julia!!!!)

I'm afraid to see where this "stick comparison" discussion is going to wind up.

It is a crappy picture of the Slendiferous Waffle House!
Team Julia!
And I'll thank you to not call my stint as a short order cook/ beer wench "working at a fast food place!" I have standards! If it's good enough for Gordon, it should be good enough for you!

OH MY GOD! I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it!)

Big Brother! Under 2 weeks! My show that I love to hate is back!

And now...the bad news. I won't be able to watch the feeds this year. My computer has been crashing for the past few months any time I try to watch any kind of streaming video. This is season is going to be fucking HORRIBLE (errr....even more horrible than normal, that is) without the feeds.

Thankfully I have you guys to get me through it. It won't be the same, but it'll hopefully be enough for me to get a fix.

I'm somewhat of a computer geek, what kind of symptoms does it have? Does it crash at other times, only when you watch video? Is it an old computer or is it fairly new?

Older computer. Probably about 3-4 years. It crashes on basically everything streaming (video, audio, some flash shit.)

Then sometimes, it gets into a continuous cycle of rebooting before it's booted all the way up.

*high five*

Good to see a fellow Buffalonian in here. I was born there, but was moved away against my will(as a child).

I declare the First Sighting of the Live Feeds Subscription Offer over at Real.com!

If you sign up by July 4th there is an Early Bird Discount - Code: BB8EARLY

REFORMAT!!!!!!!

I'm back for more torture excitement with another season! I haven't decided if I'll get the feeds this year, but one thing is for sure: it's time for me to finish watching the 6 or 7 episodes of 24 that are still on my DVR, along with a ton of other crap, to make room for the Chenbot and the Hamster crew. Looking forward to spending many hours on this wonderful site!

Just popping in to stand up and be counted.

:::waves at all the wunerful HT peeps:::

And I can't believe that Cristiano's doesn't make pizza anymore. I was SO dissapointed by that last time I went up. Cristiano's had the BEST. PIZZA. EVER.

Seriously.

You soooo need to get the feeds KatJam. You know you want to. You'll be wishing you had all summer, or at least till the designated old fat guy shows up in a speedo.

::: waves back to Wills :::

I'll have to agree with buffy here (not that that's a bad thing, of course!), and say that sometimes the best was to save the patient is to kill it. Unfortunately, when Windows starts doing some of this stuff, it's just easier to reinstall from scratch than to try to fix it.

Pokes head out from under workload ......

HI folks~!

Pokes head back into work so that schedule is clear for July 5th!....

I've decided no feeds for me this year. I will stick with the Sho too coverage and the recaps.

Hey Mheh!

You deserve a summer break after all that "work"!

ETA: General comment on this re-occuring theme:



Whaaaa? Are we all getting old or something?

Step up, people!

Well, I will have feeds, if for no other reason than I never got around to cancelling them from last year! Booyah!

Well, at least that's convienient!

I shouldn't throw stones at glass BB houses because I sat out the All Stars season.

I am so ready for the new season!

I lived in the Buffalo area for three years, can I join the party?

And I'm a Buffy fan. And I watch Hell's Kitchen. And...this post is rapidly going nowhere fast, so I'll just shut up now.

We need to form a Buffalo alliance the second we get into the house!

Awesome, a Buffalo party! Everyone's welcome, of course. Except perhaps, just this year, Ottawa fans.

I lived across the lake from Buffalo! And went to see a hockey game there, in which the Habs TOTALLY TROUNCED the Sabers. Rock on :).

Mheh - email me! firstname.lastname at gmail dot com.

Woohoo Buffalo!!! ok, really its Woohoo Finger Lakes!!!!! But I dont think anyone else in my area watches BB with the passion that I do......Except for the PostMaster in Manchester.....but I dont work at that place where I used to, so dont see her everyday anymore.....but whatevah!!!!
My new fav line is from the Orbitz gum commercials....has anyone else seen it?

"Who you calling Cootie Face? You lint licker?" kills me everytime I see that commercial..

Oh yea, I had cleaned up my bookmarks and couldn't find the site...couldn't remember hamster time....how could I not remember hamster time? ... and then my friend, Joyce, found a bookmark. It is just pitiful how excited I got when the site appeared. See you all in a couple weeks. And I'll send some do re mi too.

Heh - I did that one year.

Ladyjane, what the hell is that in your avatar? Turtle private parts? It's driving me nuts.

A Buffalo party huh? Will there be wings?

Hey! You guys have see the new season's promo video with the first HOH in full dramatic effect, haven't y'all?

I'd love for a screencap of that one.... oh wait! I know how to do that! Lemme try!

Thank you G! People have been laughing at me for years because I reformat my machine whenever it hiccups. Take that you TITS!

Aww! You're too kind.

I'm with Snooky! As far as PC reformatting goes, I would almost consider using some disk imaging product like this ( http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/pr...mp;pvid=ghost12, although there are a number of similar products) to allow an easy restore once in a while by making an backup image once you have all your drivers and software already loaded. Then a clean system is literally minutes away.

Not sure where to put this, but since I haven't posted in here before...

I just got home from Pride Toronto where I'm pretty sure I passed within 3 ft of BB3 Marcie while I was walking around the gaybourhood with friends.

I had absolutely no compulsion to speak to him, even to confirm whether or not it was him. It's not that I actually dislike Marcie; I think I just don't care after last season's All Star craptacular.

My first thought was: "ooo... Hamstertime.net posting." My second was: "Too bad it isn't James (BB6) or Nurse Will (BB5) instead."

Live feeds will be a budget issue unless the right promo comes along. There's no resurrecting my XP laptop, so live show chat will be a challenge from my bedroom desktop Mac.

Hope you find a way, SLuG. Chat misses your presence!

I just wanted to say how much I miss this board. I go on a few other message boards for Lost and a couple of other shows. On those boards people are so mean and nasty to each other, no respect at all. I love Hamster Time it makes my BB experience so much better. I have been reading this board for three years, I believe, and I am so happy we are getting ready for a new season.
I'm getting the feeds this year. I have a 4 month old baby girl(my 5th girl) So I got nothing to do but watch the Hammies squirm. Come on July 5th.

Welcome back, and congrats on the new addition to your family, gunshyne.

And SLuG, you are missed. We want you back!

Yeah SLuG, how am I supposed to promote the gay agenda with no back-up?

Yeah, SLuG, and whose "hag" will I be if you aren't there? You gotta show up and represent!
