I am still following SparkPeople. Lost almost ten pounds so far this year. I know the weight loss will slow to a crawl soon. Mr. Fear has dropped 17 1/2 pounds so far this year.

I have come up with a few lo cal but tasty recipes and I can always use a few more if you want to share here. I hope I can continue this diet for the rest of the year without becoming obsessive.

Hi,

I've seen reference, but was "glossing" over thinking it was Sparkle.

Can you tell me a little about this and why it's working for you?

We had a family wedding in Dec and I just saw photos! Ack! Moonface!

I have got to stop eating everything in sight and stop baking for fun!

Thank you for putting this together.

It's been such a nice start to the day each day - especially since it's been so quiet on the Clayfront!

(or back, for that matter!)

:04:

Cruel! Cruel! Cruel!

Like asking me to tell you my favorite child.

That's why I have only ONE child!! hee

NOoooooo!

I don't want either one of these to get kicked off the island!!!!

Oh, Crap!

What a choice? I lurve them both!

But what a lovely way to start the day!

Well, Crap!

Profile of lusciousness?

or

Bearded Wonder?

I saw the Beard Reveal at the Gala that year and it was MAGNIFICENT and SHOCKING in the best possible way.

There were Jaws all over the Floor that night!!

So - I guess I'm owned by THE MAN WITH THE BEARD and I'll vote #2.

Dang, this is just cruel. Truly two of my all-time favorite photos.

Have to think on this one a while.

Exactly what I was going to post!

I can't choose!!

Can't I just have BOTH??!!!

I wanna vote twice!

Scuse me, but

#2 . . .

guh

profile

open mouth

closed eyes

#$%^&*()*&^%$#%^&*(&^%

Oh, my!

This is difficult.

#2 - I love how relaxed and comfortable he is. And you can just see the wheels turning in that beautiful head - he's cracking on somebody good.

I love love love the laughing cellist behind him!

#1 - yeah. Those eyes. He is so intense. The relaxed open mouth. But knowing the back story colors my thinking. He's HOT, not just HAWT. The Invisible outdooor-intheheat-wearing multi layers for some unGodly reason. Calling Sherry up onstage.

But - which one??

I may have to come back later after I've tossed a coin.

ETA:

Okay.

I threw my hat in the #2 ring!

This is so hard!

I love the look of - curious amusement (?) - in the first one.

I love the look of devious HAWTNESS in the second one.

Besides, I was THERE!

What to do?

What to do?

Guess I'll vote with - - -

I was THERE!

Oh, Hell!

No contest for me. I didn't even have to scroll past the eyes to know that would be the one!

After scrolling to give the other guy a chance - nope.

#1 is still #1!

ETA:

I got out my nosehair trimmer. *g*

Oh, Hell.

No contest for me!

Bearded Wonder.

Humanitarian.

Giving attention to a child.

#2 hands down!

That's just CROO-ELL!

Love his eyes in the SD one.

But I had to go with smoldering HAWT singing DeccaDude.

WHat a chamillion he is!

Yep. Easy. Didn't even need to see #2. Always loved that UNICEF pic !

That's me.

It's the Joy in his face as much as the cute little boy!

But I still . . .

[bart simpson voice] Awww, man! [/bsv]

That second photo: truly one of the premiere experiences of this fandom - that auction and Clay's wicked, sometimes bawdy, always hilarious assistance in pimping encouraging the bids. Jaysus! It was something I'll never forget.

But alas, this is a photo contest, right? And he has rarely looked more sexy and sophisticated and fucking beautiful as he does in #1. So yeah. Sigh.

We are so freakin' lucky!

Ahhh!

My emotions voted in this one!

I was there!

He was so damned FEISTY!

And SEXY!

And CUTE!!

But I loved that beard, too!!

I credit Sparky for that one! It cracked me right up, so I stole it!

Falling?

Yup.

Sorry. I did that late last night and forgot to come back in till just now!

:11:

I love Tir Na Nog! DS graduated from NCState, so we've eaten there a few times! Always good!

As always . . .

KAndre, that makes about as much sense in English as it does in French.

Or German.

Or Latvian.

*g*

ETA:

v.v.nice banner!

I've been out of touch for a while on a serious personal item. I spent several days in the ICU and underwent surgery but the good part is that I'm doing fine now and will be ok. I was discharged from the hospital on Saturday; I spent a few days with a friend and will be going home tomorrow.

Every day

You walk with stronger step

You walk with longer step

The worst is over

<snip>

ETA: On topic, so happy to hear of so many good things going on. Yay!!! I've been so eager to get well and get home because my BOCA's are waiting for me!!!

OMGosh, Scarlett!

I'm so sorry to hear you've been hospitalized and glad to hear you're on the mend!

I know I haven't been around. Just too hard to keep up on two/three boards.

But I had to come out of lurkdom for this!

Hope each day is better!

Sadly, I don't get ANTM here.

So I'm depending on Clack!

Thanks.

I got it now!

How do "we" know it got back to Clay?

Did he say something?

The topic got back to Clay.

I don't understand.

How do we know it got back to Clay?

What do you mean "the topic" got back to Clay?

Claygasm, the furor started again, I believe because of something Chris Seiber had said about the fans and then some people took it personal, and somehow it got back to Clay. I lost track somewhere along the way. Like someone else said upthread, sorry too tired to look it up, something else will come up soon for the boards to have a cow over. Never gets dull being a Clay fan.

How do "we" know it got back to Clay?

Did he say something?

from CV

BFS is a texting fool...and she knows I hate Texting on my cellphone with a purple passion!!!!!!

She reports that Clay sang the ahayahayman tonight.

I have a new phone that makes texting so much easier, you didn't have to answer only transcribe.... :sillygrin:

back from Spam, it was an unexpected decision, I got asked to go last night and decided what the heck, maybe there would be stage door...yayness...there was

It was mainly a NJU crowd tonight. There was a group of high schoolers in the audience. The audience was very receptive. I don't think it was sell out, but it was a vocal crowd.

I was sitting very close, thanks to Clayphan who gave me a ticket, I was in row A off to the side, so I was looking directly at Clay when he was in the tower. He gave a up and down what a weirdo look to the King before discussing using coconuts...it was priceless...

And he continued with his snotty delivery through the whole scene complete with appropriate snotty looks...especially on temperate zone...loved it...

he continues to mimic Rick's Scottish jig, which i love

During the not dead yet scene, he want to poke n0t-Tom, Tom was out tonight perhaps for the birth of his niece-so the poke was an attempt not actual...

When he got on the cart he was slapping his legs and knees in time with Rick's cadence...

Looked up the skirt of the jello girl...and in a big way...

Stuck his tongue at Rick, after Rick pulled him back during Spam, Spam, lovely Spam...

I think that Patsy's coconut cracked when tapping for the King, he kept looking at it and the tap did sound off...must have gotten some new ones for later in the show...

LoL swatted Clay back --he reached for the glove and looked quite bewildered when he didn't get it.

LOL sang the Beyonce sang If You Liked It You Should Have Put a Ring on it...Clay kept looking at his hand and was quite confused...

The dice girl kind of buffed his butt with her scarf....

Clay stood on the dice at the end and not LoL this may not be new, but didn't notice it on the weekend

he did the pray and quake

did the stupid face on the cymbal...very effective

very, very, very flirty with his flame girl...did a rather unique dance at the beginning of the flame...stuck his butt out a bit, then did his normal sway...it was funny...

Rick continues to spit on himself and then acts like it was someone eleses

Clay did the riding the hourse is soo painful face...

On the Water ...Clay touched his hair, like hey don't ruin my hair...

very, very upset at the rude gestures, it took several taps before he spit out the words

his ow wow, was kind of small and quiet tonight but it worked...

French Taunter spanked and messed his hair...and while running away he was doing the ward off evil with his fingers in the form of a cross...

Rick said they were the Knights of NI and Ni knuck, knuck, knuck (the stooge sound)

Patsy did a beautiful heel spin during his solo...i love watching Patsy and his dancing is so gorgeous...

lots of applause on the first soiling of pants...

Rick Knights of Ni was I wannnnna go out tonight and then he asked if they wanted to light his candle...

Clay flicked the beautiful blonde's butt in the YWSOB and received great applause...

lots of tongue during the bottle dance...

for the guard scene he came out and untangled the ribbons...he let Bradley really work the scene tonight, it was really funny, he reacted to Bradley, so now extra's from him

Ahayahayahaymen...gorgeous...

the Peasant seat was d101

very serious guy peasant tonight

he had on matching maroon striped socks...

he did the rockette dance at the end, and then two huge hip thrusts....

did the confetti horn

and did a chicken like dance at the end during Bright Side of Life...

So stage door...

Dyan and I are talking not really expecting anything, but chatting...so Rick comes out and we say hi and I take a picture...then Merle comes out, who is my girl crush, so I take a picture, and then I here Dyan say something it is Clay...so I start to take photos and the batteries die, this time keeping my cool i dump the batteries and change them for slightly less dead batteries...the problem is they are sluggish, so i would have him framed, and then he would do a photo with someone and i would get the side of his head...so they pretty much suck, but here they are...

I did say goodbye as he was waving and b/c it was a light stage door he looked up...and waved to me...eee....Dyan got great video and made him laugh....

recap and photos may travel...

Awwww, love that video. I can understand his terror about his first performance after the People cover story hit, though. It's a scary thing. Looking forward to possibly even more footage tonight on ET.

Especially since that was the night the paparazzi chased Clay and Jerome, right? The bastards!

I'm so glad he can say those who encouraged him not to worry were right!
