Homesteaders on TV (Wife Swap)

TxCloverAngel · #81 07/27/06, 03:21 PM

lol this is just too funny.. I am just sitting here laughing.

last week, It was calm... cool, every day life.. (well as calm as life on a farm w/ 5 kids and a buncha critters can ever be)
and today "Their People are calling My People" setting up meetings w/ Network Folks, Producers & talking contracts! lol

Whoo Hoo! so much for the slow paced country life! lol

it is exciting, scary, & surreal all at once.

ROTFL!!! That sounds like boys everywhere! I am hoping everything turns out well for everyone involved. Sounds like the best TV we have had in a long time. Here's to ya!

Lynne · #86 07/27/06, 04:11 PM

Three weeks away!!! Your mind and heart must be going a million miles a minute!

When do you think you'll find out more about the other family?

TxCloverAngel · #87 07/27/06, 04:16 PM

I wont find out anything about them until I get to their house! eeeek lol

Rosarybeads · #88 07/27/06, 04:38 PM

Do us a favor, and when you DO have an update, can you add it to THIS thread?

That way all us folks that don't browse HT very often can still keep up on it!

Very exciting, I am hoping they won't show it until later in the year, when we get access to tv. Otherwise I too am going to have to have some folks tape it.

TxCloverAngel · #89 07/27/06, 04:49 PM

from what they told me it takes anywhere from 4-8 ish weeks after they tape for it to air. Sept - Nov maybe? I don't know for sure.

Maybe on their website it'll show upcoming shows. look for the one w/ the "Clover Family". I don't know. will ask tho.

TxCloverAngel · #90 07/27/06, 05:02 PM

the boys are sooo excited! they just hope the new mom will take them shopping and get them name brand shoes & video games (I threw ours out!!).

Brooke has no clue whats going on. I plan to have my mother/sister watch her during the daytime, she wouldn't handle being alone w/ a stranger well at all.

Qwispea · #91 07/27/06, 05:13 PM

This is the most exciting thread I've seen in a long long time ..and I am extremely happy for TCA.

What a fantastic opportunity! We're all just pleased as punch for you. The other threads set records for viewers ..but this ones going to surpass them and soar to unimaginable heights ..may never be reached again! :baby04:

When the show airs ..Everybody's going to be glued to their TV set ..and if they don't own one ..they'll be visiting their homesteading neighbor who does.

You go Girl!

Spinner · #92 07/27/06, 05:22 PM

The swap week would be a good time for everyone to call asking for advice on some homesteading subject. I wonder what kind of advice the temp mom would give when the water goes out and the well isn't working? or the cow won't let the calf nurse? or? or? or? LOL

Just kidding. It's going to be hard enough on her without adding to the stress. Looking forward to hearing about it and seeing the show.

But....it will go crazy as soon as they roll the credits!

I'm going to be glued to the TV, and gonna tape it too.

But I'll have my browser open to HT. We'll need a thread to post in while the show is on so we can comment as we go.

ThreeJane · #94 07/27/06, 05:30 PM

TX, I just sent you a PM asking your last name so I'd know when the show was on.

Silly me, I should've finished reading the thread.

Looking forward to it! I like that show, even with creative editing and probably some outright "acting", it's always interesting to see what other people consider to be "normal" in their homes.

The lady at the radio show gave Christians a bad name. I think she had some serious psychoses going. Sometimes you see people treated badly, sometimes indifferently, and sometimes some real good comes out of it.

Hubby says he hates that show, but ends up watching it, usually yelling things at the TV like "That's why your kids HATE you, lady!" or "No wonder your husband never talks to you, you stupid woman!"

wonder if you will be on the Premiere show it is in Sept>

Let me say first that I am very happy for you if this is what you want to happen. Some people like that sort of things while others would not do a show like that for any amount of $$$. I am in the group that would not want to do that sort of thing. I like them sort of shows but would not want to be involved with it at all.
Now on to the main reason for this post :-)
You know if they said to me that I would have to get my guns out of the house they would have went right out the door. The guns that we have here are here for a reason and them coming into the home is not going to take them reasons away. The guns are here to be used to protect the family from both 2 legged animals as well as 4 legged animals.
I would ask them if they are going to have someone there to make sure no one is going to break into your home and kill every one. I would also ask them if someone is going to be around to protect the animals from both humans and predators. If they say no to one or the other then ask them what is going to happen if one or the other happens.

It is not like I am some sort of gun nut or something. But I bought the guns and keep the guns for what I feel are very important reasons. To me my family is the most important thing in the world and I will do what ever I have to make sure that they are safe and protected from any sort of harm. No one is going to come in and tell me that I can not protect them while they are there.

I did list my morning & nighttime quiet time and said this is usually where I spend it. I'll leave the info. I agree.. she could learn alot here!

I hope she posts here. That would be a lot of fun for us, and maybe insightful for her. She certainly could learn something of a different way of life.

They have people there 24 hours a day while it's being filmed.

When you watch an episode on TV, you don't see the crew that's behind the cameras.

Very clever idea, Ladycat!!! Let's make sure we're all here when it's on!

Hm. Have to move the computer to the basement or the t.v. upstairs... OH! I can use the laptop!

YAY!

Pony!

Now I know a "celebreetee!"

I also love the way you think. The part about what it would mean--sweating-- in no AC behind the locks. Ha!

Please, please tell us when it airs. We can critique how you do your chores, or where you placed the outbuildings while the rest of America will be shocked at your "redneckness."
