2. You find an awesome message board that inspires you to do nothing for 2 days except sit and review your old FOL tapes in hopes of being able to help out other obessed FOL'ers with their video's.

SPEAKING OF WHICH...DO you have "We Get Letters?" About Mrs. G?

Anyway....someone should try to find our old list...but...in case we don't...

3.) The Preacher at your church titles his sermon, "The Secret" and you get excited because you think he'll give you a review of the episode of FOL titled "The Secret."
4.) When you know the titles of FOL episodes just by seeing about 3 second of the episode.
5.) When you have a section of your room dedicated to memoribilia of the show or it's actresses.
6.) When you can recite episodes WITHOUT them playing.
7.) When your friends say ANYTHING out of the blue and you can come up with an FOL quote to fit it or tie the thing they say into something that has to do with FOL.
8.) When you name your children Edna, Blair, Natalie, Jo, or Dorothy, because those are the only names you can think of.
9.)you call your daughter, whom you named Dorothy, "Tootie."

ok...I'll give someone else a turn..

12) when you name all you fish after everyone in the show.

13)When your missing less the 25 eps of the show.

14)when on AIM your convos turn into FOL convos.

15.) When you watch FOL with your friends and they're like, "That sounds like something YOU would say!"

16.) When your locker and binders have more pictures of FOL or the actress on FOL than they do your family, pets, friends, or anything else.

17.) When people expect you to name your pets "Charlotte" or one of the actresses/characters names from FOL...

18.) When you start screaming at people if you haven't watched FOL in a few days.

You hear of something that happened in the 80s and right away wonder what season FOL was in.

When you're watching TV and you see a commercial for lysol or paper towels that goes "facts of life, you can...." and you freak out screaming "FACTS OF LIFE!!!!"

Half of your closet is filled with your Facts of Life videos.

When you go to Disneyland and see the Dumbo ride, or think about Disneyland, you think of that quote by Blair and Jo......
Blair: What were you doing at the library, reading dumbo?
Jo: I don't have to read that, I bunk next to her.

When you have a notebook filled with FOL quotes.

When you search for hours to get a quote by one of the characters.

When you want to kill your Biology teacher because he has a picture of Kim Fields from Star Dates behind his scientific abcs that he passed arroung the class, but, you can't get it out because he taped it or something. (that's me!!)

When you're answering machine message always has SOMETHING FOL related on it!

(At the moment, mine is a clip of FOL with Blair saying, "I just had another one of my brilliant ideas!" and then I say, "Why don't you leave a message and we'll call you back!")
