Talk about Obsessions!!!I loved Facts of Life during it's first few years-and my Mom and I would see it together at times as well.I loved to see how all the girls grew in more ways than one-and the show maintained quality for a long time.
Anyhow,I can understand how obsessions on shows, actors,etcetera can lead to all the points you listed.Your lists are way too full to add much more to.

Very funny stuff. I think #'s 1,3,4,5,8,9,21,22,24 apply to me. I suppose I'm not as obsessed as everyone else here. Then again I have a job, a family, and many other interests lol.

Stanley Roper: I'm sorry Jack

Jack Tripper: Oh, thats ok, what did you do?

Roper: Me? Nothing, I just thought I saw something that wasnt normal, because it was normal, but, now I can see it aint normal, so, everything's back to normal again.

Jack: oh, well, I'm glad for you.

29. You have FOL wallpaper on your computer.


ilovefacts14, I got the same thing for Christmas! It is a jacket that looks just like Jo's and I haven't taken it off since. My parents keep asking me if it's glued to me, but when I go into detail about FOL they just shrug it off and walk away because I'm always telling them FOL stuff! I love my jacket though http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm also always humming the theme song!

Oh, and everytime I see a Nancy McKeon promo on LIFETIME everyone within a 50 foot radius knows because I clap for joy http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Couldn't think of a better way to spend my winter break http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Beverly Ann: Let's see. It's tomorrow in Africa so if I want to talk to Edna today then I should have called her yesterday...

Natalie: It's a busy day for me. I have to go down to the newspaper office, get a lung transplant...

I apply to every one except the one about naming all the episodes and proposing to Nancy! (I'm not a boy!) Once when I was playing the Game of Life (I call it the Facts Of Life!) I kept calling my mom Mrs. G and my dad George! (He really liked that!)

LOL! Now I can't stop laughing! I also got a bracelet just like the one Jo wore all through season 7 and 8. I haven't taken it off and don't plan to. It's a black band with these 5 little gold beads. I notice the strangest little things, but I love my bracelet, too http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

foljbnt101, I'm doing the same thing! I just saw a promo! My TV is tuned into LIFETIME 24/7 http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

32) you begin to liken everyone to some FOL character... (happened to me... i have an english teacher who has a very weird resemblance to jo; hair, eyes, everything and told one of my non-FOL loving friends, "she is such a jo" and my friend was like "okay..." hehe...)
33) you begin acting like them a little too much (i laugh like natalie!!!)

A.J.
12-29-2000, 11:51 PM
34.When you quote them every thirty minutes
35.If you stay up 'till 2:00 a.m. just to watch an episode they showed 5 hrs. ago
36. You start dreaming about the characters and the show(I have had two very weird dreams that didn't make any sense at all.)

Well, since I just reloaded this page to make sure there were no new posts, I guess I apply too.

37) You can update your friends weekly on the status of the reunion movie. "Will Jo die or won't she?"

38) You can tell exactly what season it is simply by looking at Blair's hair style.

39) You find yourself skipping social events just to be home at 10:00.

40) When someone goes on and on with some boring story you don't care about, you politely shut them up by saying, "Ok, Beverly Ann!"

12-30-2000, 11:41 AM
ATD = Absolutely To Die

In Tootie's words, "That's preppie talk for 'delicious'."

Blair describes Nat's grandmother's cookies as ATD in teh episode "From Russia, With Love"

I never knew just how obsessed I am with FOL! Almost all of the "signs of obsession" apply to me. If you're going to be obsessed with something, what could be better than FOL?
