25. You find yourself calling your mother/teacher Mrs. G.

26. Your friends know not to call between the hours of 10-11et-no matter what!


LOL! You just described me to a tee! I get on the forum all the time, and when I'm not searching for FOL stuff on the net, I'm watching LIFETIME trying to catch Nancy's promo.

How funny! I wrote the list with myself in mind. My mom says I have an "unhealthy obsession" and has jokingly threatened to take me to physcology.

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

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

Couldn't think of a better way to spend my winter break

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...

Blair: But if I'm not perfect... and that's a *BIG* if, then it wasn't his place to say so.
Jo: You're right. It's my place to say so.

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

foljbnt101, I'm doing the same thing! I just saw a promo! My TV is tuned into LIFETIME 24/7
