#BB17 - Wow, Crazy #DoubleEviction Night on Big Brother - Shelli''s Gone, Meg Stays! #Vanessa's Safe!Yahoo!

Yay!!  Meg gets to sleep in her own bed, tonight - and that's Meg's favorite place to be - in her comfy bed! lol! iTunes

And Vanessa's SAFE!  Yippee!!  Yahoo!! I love Vanessa! lol!

 Vanessa's Safe!! Fight, fight, fight! Think, think, think! : )

Oooh, I love GUESS - I love my GUESS Wallet, so pretty, all blinged out, and my GUESS purses.. love it all!

#BB17 - Wow, Crazy #DoubleEviction Night on Big Brother - Shelli''s Gone, Meg Stays!  Yahoo! Oh, and Jackie's evicted, too - how did I forget Jackie, already??

Whaaat???  Meg was in complete shock, when Johnny Mac called her name to go up on the Block, in the Live Nomination Ceremony on Big Brother, tonight - wow, I was so shocked, too - really, I did not see that coming.  I really thought that Johnny Mac and Steve were both on the Becky-Jackie-Meg-James Alliance... oh, man, that really threw me for a loop - but, man, did that ever catch Meg off-guard...

And, here, Meg had JUST started playing the game, too... which is, well, sorta funny, but I was so happy to see Meg out on the yard, actually talking game... and, frankly, I was happy to see Jackie leave the Big Brother House, because she wasn't even a fan of Big Brother, she was just on the show because she had already been on The Amazing Race... that's not okay, not with all the real Big Brother Fans, who would looove a spot on Big Brother... same thing with Becky. She has said, on Big Brother After Dark, that she didn't know anything about Big Brother, so she just studied it by watching all the seasons of Big Brother, before she went on the show.

I dunno... maybe if they had been nice, or had interesting personalities, but Jackie was virtually silent, for the first few weeks in the Big Brother house, playing second to Jeff, and we never DID get to find out if Jackie and Jeff are a real couple - sure seemed like it in the #BBhouse, but then when Jackie was talking to Julie Chen (who looked lovely, as always!), Jackie insinuated that there was no relationship... but I really thought Julie Chen was gonna ask Jackie, directly.... hmmm, maybe we'll find out at the very end of Big Brother, right? lol!

I'm curiouser and curiouser, because didn't Jeff 'develop' lots of other 'relationships' in the Big Brother house?? haha!  Jeff and Liz, Jeff and Meg, Jeff and maaay-be Jackie... whatevs... I didn't like either of them, too shady, and then at the end, Jackie was soo vehement against Vanessa, and that's not cool with me - Vanessa's mah' girl! lol!

Otay, how amazing is this?? lol!  Hilariously enough, I feel like I can smell the Lemon candle, right now! haha!  The Power of Suggestion, Baby! How exciting is that, to get a surprise gift in every candle??  What a great gift (for me?? lol!) = so much fun! : )

Now Meg and James can relax for a minute, 'til the next Crazy starts up in the Big Brother House... and since Steve is the HOH, holy schmokes, batman, Steve is such a wild card - no one really knows what's going on inside Steve's head... Steve is the one guy (well, Steve and Johnny Mac) that no one wanted to go up, since no one knows, for sure, or at all, where he really stands.

Pretty inneresting that Steve won the HOH, then Johnny Mac won the Veto, right?  Back to back wins?  hmmm... All this time, hardly any wins, only little wins, but this is what has been predicted, all along, that if Steve and Johnny Mac made it past the Double Eviction, to the Single HOH, which started last week, then they could just win every comp, rule the #BBhouse... and so it begins... let's hope they're benevolent rulers...

Otay, me gots'ta go... be right back.... Laters, baby!  Ailsa : )

I'm back! lol! 

Happy Birthday, Jason!  I loved that the #BBhouseguests gave a birthday shoutout to Jason - very sweet!

I want to see Jason on Survivor - he'd be so funny, right?  He would just have to learn how to make fire... I'm amazed at how few people who KNOW they're going on Survivor, and they don't bother to learn the basics... and would you know, in advance, where you're going, so you could study the vegetation, have a general idea of what you might be able to eat, fruit, plants, that sort of thing...

These legs were made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do...right into the Big Brother Jury House - lol! They'll be fine, together, in the #BBjury house... I can't remember if they had any issues, before, but Shelli was sure cozying up to that side of the house, this whole last week... I can't imagine a lot of riveting conversation, though - haha!  Maybe they'll get to watch a lot of movies, since they wouldn't be able to have any contact with the real world, just yet, right?  Man, I'd have a tough time, not knowing the news... I wonder if maybe I'm a news-junkie, now?  I DO watch a lot of news, now that I think of it... the US Nightly News, the CBC National News in Canada, and our local news, CTV Vancouver Island News... sooo, hmmm, I guess that is a lot o' news...

(If you're a teacher, it's a great idea to have copies of coloring pages and word games... little things like that, for kids who finish early, or use as rewards - you'd be sooo surprised at how receptive the kids are to this - all the way up through High School students, too - lol!)
  This is what they need in the Big Brother Jury House, fo' sho'!  Jackie and Shelli could sit at the table, for hours and hours, just happily coloring away...chatting and coloring - very relaxing, for kids up to 102! lol! After all that time in the Big Brother house, not being able to write anything down, it would be soo exciting just to hold a pencil crayon, or a crayon, right?? lol!

And I laughed, on Big Brother After dark, last night, when Julia, of the Julia and Liz Twin-fame, says, "I'm not the sharpest crayon in the tool box" - and repeats that line to Steve, and Steve says, "I think you've proven your point within that sentence." That's funny!  They all laughed, all in good fun, everyone seems much happier, now, and even Becky has realized she has to drop the whole 'Becky Angry' thing - that rarely works for anyone, in the #BBhouse, or in the real world - lol!


I wonder if they do get to read any books they want in the Big Brother Jury house?  I can't imagine that Jackie has ever opened a boo - maybe - who knows... maybe I've read her all wrong... bah'dum-bum... Shelli might be more of a reader... that's interesting, right?  To decide on whether someone's 'a reader', or not, just by looking at them... hmmm, judgmental much? (Me, I mean - lol!) That's terrible - what am I doing?  They could easily be readers... okay, well,on that note, let me go see if I can find the link to some of my favourite books... I loove Wally Lamb and Graeme Simsion... and Louise Hay... and about a million more phenomenal authors... let me go link those up, for you to check them out - and if you've never 'ordered' books from your local library's website, try that - it's a great way to read a lot of books, for free! It's a much better set up than it ever was, before - worth a try! And you know I love the library! They have the BEST Liberry Pie, there... yum!

Okay, now I'm off, unless I think of something else I wanted to say! lol! Ailsa : )

Here you go - lots of great choices, for lots of great reads!!  Yippee!  You'll be lost in a great book, in no time! : )  You're welcome! lol!

(You know, I was just reading some BB comments, and I know you shouldn't read the comments, or you'll go mad with the level of hatred and stupidity that can sometimes be out there, in computerland, but I am shocked at how many mean posts there are about Steve.  Steve is a lovely human being, so kind, he's getting lots of love and support in the Big Brother house, which I love to see - lots of hugs, 'n stuff...anyway, my hope is that lots of people will read The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect, by Graeme Simsion - the books are hilarious and smart, so funny, but when you read about Don, the main character, you will think of Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory, and, now, Steve, and will get them, even more... soo, I hope that happens : )

Oh, and here's a little recipe I was thinking about while I was watching #BigBrotherAfterDark last night - lol! Now I'm trying to figure out how I could make this so it would be like Churros, for my son, who really, really misses all the delicious Churros we used to get in California - no good Mexican restaurants, up here in the North - booo!  Come on up, El Pollo Loco or Chipotle, or both!!  We would looove some delicious Mexican Food up here in Canada! : ) (Pweeease!!)

#BBHaveNots - So, it looks like the BB Have Nots have a lot more options than they used to have, right?  And you know how the HaveNots have Hawaiian Buns, this week?  I wonder if they could slice them, thick slices, fry them in a pan of a little oil, then toss in cinnamon sugar?

Man, that sounds deeelish, right?  Now me wants to try that!

(Cinnamon Sugar, in case you haven't made it, yet, is just a nice mix of , say, a couple of tablespoons of cinnamon, and maybe about a half cup of sugar - you can add more cinnamon, to taste... is a good sprinkle for all sorts of wee things! lol!)

Okay, here's some other stuff me haz been a'thinkin' about, this week - lol! Ailsa : )

And here's where you can get some REAL Hawaiian Buns! lol! By the time you're done laying out on the beach in Hawaii, you'll have some Hawaiian Buns of yer own - bah'hahahaha!

I'm just amusing mah'self, at this time o' night - lol! (I'm watching the Big Brother After Dark feed... lol!)

Big Brother After Dark, where all the secrets come out - bah'hahaha!

 

#BB17, #BBComics - Great Pics... or, Great Pecs?? lol! Steve Wins the Veto, But Now Vanessa's on the Block...

Shelli says, 'Is it cool if I bring this to the #BBJury house?" lol!iTunes

Mr. Perfection - lol!  Clay's gonna looove this picture - is it a selfie? hahaha!  Wow, did Meg ever do well in the #BBComics competition, tonight!  Steve won, showing how good he really is - Steve's brilliance can no longer be hidden - not that it was necessarily hidden, but for some reason, that phenomenal memory of all things Big Brother did Jason in, early in the BB game, and Steve is still able to hold on - probably because he plays a less social game, but that all changed when the double HOH went away...now Steve's fighting for his Big Brother life... and so is Vanessa...


XFINITY On Demand™ gives you the best selection of current shows and hit movies, anytime, on any screen

My bet is on Vanessa!!  

Oh, no, that stooopid Becky put Vanessa up on the block, after Steve won the Veto.. Becky's plan, all along, was to backdoor Vanessa. Man, now I'm all personally invested in Big Brother, so-to-speak... lol! 

Vanessa is just trying to get to the bottom of things, just one clear answer.

 Poor Vanessa, she is having THE most difficult week... she feels like she's been betrayed by stoopid Becky - sorry, I was fine with Becky, before, until she showed her real colours, and now that Becky's the HOH, they put the cameras on her, all the time, on Big Brother After Dark, and now I know why they never showed much footage of Becky, before - b-o-r-i-n-g...lol! Yikes! All nutrition, all the time.

I really, really like that Meg has finally stopped sleeping, and hanging out in her bed, and got up and started to really play the Big Brother game - yahoo!  Now James, Meg, Austin and the Twins, Liz and Julia, are all working together - and, hopefully, with Vanessa...

I sooo want Vanessa to stay in the #BBhouse...and I want Shelli out - evicted - scrammo, Shelli! lol! 

Jackie is all done with her Knighthood - the strip tease was funny - James is so funny - I relaly like James, now - at first, I wasn't so sure, but now I really respect his game, and he's clearly very smart - me like dat! lol! 

And Jackie, wow, that tiny traitor... and Vanessa was soo nice to Jackie...now Jackie is vehemently against Vanessa - so weird, to get all vehement, but, then, look at me, I'm all mad a Becky, and she's just a character in a game on TV, as Steve loves to remind everyone, to help them keep their perspective in the game, because you can really lose it, on these Reality TV Games, right?  Seems like it...

See how friendly James and Vanessa are, together?  I really, really, want them to go to the very end... but not with Johnny Mac, now - I did really like Johnny Mac, but he's been pretty shady after this last week,. sooo, hmmm, we'll see.  You know what they always say, in the Big Brother house - things can change on a dime, just wait a minute, see what happens... is like a microcosm of life - lol!

  See, I thought Johnny Mac and Vanessa were friends, and were working together... hmmmm...guess we'll find out where Johnny Mac really stands, tomorrow night.  

Double Eviction, where the truth comes out! lol! 

I laughed so hard when Julia was in the hot tub, watching Austin and Liz in the Hammock, and she says, "Get off of her, Austin. Bleah!" Hahahahaah!  Hilarious!

#BBHaveNots - So, it looks like the BB Have Nots have a lot more options than they used to have, right?  And you know how the HaveNots have Hawaiian Buns, this week?  I wonder if they could slice them, thick slices, fry them in a pan of a little oil, then toss in cinnamon sugar?

Aaaand, just in case you are a smoker, or know a smoker who wants to quit smoking, maybe this will help....

And I've been thinking about this a fair bit, lately...what if people who have been smoking for years, especially if they started when they were very young, what if they are self-medicating, for anxiety, ADD, or ADHD?

So, here's the deal - I'm a Special Education Teacher, and I know what it looks like when someone is struggling, and let's just say, that some people who are long time smokers, find this massive relief from smoking...

Now, I've never been a smoker, so I can't personally verify this, it's just a little theory I've been thinking about, because I will never forget a student I had, and this is a long time, ago, in Toronto, at a stooopid private school (you have to really watch out for Private Schools - too often, they pay their staff and teachers very poorly - the one where I worked never did pay me my last hard-earned cheque...but, back then, they also encouraged, strongly encouraged, parents to put their kids with Special Needs on medication, and I begged the parents not to do it, to reconsider, but the school was soo over-bearing (that's why I left), and this poor kid was put on his meds.  He spent the whole day with his head on the desk, in tears.  That's outrageous.  That poor child. A better system would have served him, better.

Anyway, that said, I have seen meds working for other students, over the years, so the drugs are getting better, and I'm not advocating smoking or nicotine for your kids, I'm just saying, what if nicotine, or the act of smoking, really does an effective job of calming a person, completely?  Why else would it be so addictive?  There has to be a bigger reason, and not just habit, right?  You can change a habit. (Not easily, but it can be done... using the replacement method, like with the Vaping, and then just gradually reduce the nicotine, then reduce the habit - sounds like a good plan, right?)

I would like to know if this has been studied, though... I'm curiouser and curiouser... lol! : )

It looks like different companies for the e-cigarettes have a variety of flavors for you to choose from - all very interesting, right?  It's a whole new world of choice for smokers... and remember, you can decrease the amount of nicotine when you get more, so that you are gradually removing the need for the nicotine, and you still get the sensation of smoking...

AND, I was thinking about this, this morning, wouldn't you reduce the chances of you getting wrinkles from smoking, because wouldn't you inhale the vapor cigarettes differently?  Not as much 'force', if you will, so your mouth doesn't have to pucker each time you take a drag on your cigarette, right?  Am I right? hahaha!  I have no idea! lol!  Me jus' guessing! lol1  But, it makes sense to me, right, that if your lips are in a different position with the vapour cigarettes, wouldn't it stand to reason that you wouldn't get any wrinkles?? hahaha!  Well, there's ANOTHER upside, and will give you something to chat about when you're enjoying your ecigarette.

Try The Original Nicotine Toothpick Today!

Oh, and you know, sometimes you can't 'smoke' the ecigs, either - in restaurants, airplanes, in a lot of parks, stores, at work... really, a lot of places, and this can be a really big problem for people who smoke, and they feel like they really need to have a schmoke, right?  I thought these Nicotine Toothpicks were very cool (frankly, makes me think of President Obama, maybe with a toothpick in his mouth, looking all cool, 'n all, since he's not allowed to smoke, any more... but I guess not in a major meeting, right? lol! Still, it does look pretty cool! lol!), and a really good solution for a lot of people... and it's all about alternatives to smoking, right?  If you can move over, a little bit of the time, think how great you'a gonna feel! : )

Get 30% of a Case of the Original Nicotine Toothpick.

Oh, and I remember when they first started restricting where people could smoke - was pretty funny, really, when we all look back, now - remember the 'smoking section' in a restaurant?  Was right beside the other tables, just a few feet away, but there was a sign that said 'Smoking Section' - oh, and in my high school, was considered all very progressive, at the time, and had been newly built, we had a very fancy 'Smoking Court' for the students - staff just smoked in the Teacher's Lounge, like on The Simpsons - hahahaha!  Hilarious! (As a little side note, here, I wrote 3 scripts for The Simpsons, back in the day.. you used to be able to submit your scripts without an agent, back then - those were the days!)
