FromClaygary That baby is the cutest thing EVER!!!!

I'm sitting here in the dining room waiting for kids. The first two just arrived. I'm pissed out of my mind because I purposely got no candy that I like so I wouldn't eat any. What in the hell was I thinking?????!!

Couchie, I've been working as a medical writer from home for the past couple of years, and I find that it can be hard to be disciplined about "work time." Most people just don't consider it work when you're at home--but I have to say that it's a lot better than going out to a job.

I've just come to whine, so feel free to ignore me. I've had the most hellish two weeks. Mom's condition has worsened, so I got a referral to the home Hospice program and the nurses turned her down!!! One of them actually said that she "could live for years!" (She's NINETY-EIGHT!!). Apparently, if you have Alzheimer's disease, you have to be completely incontient, bed ridden, and unable to speak (I guess gibberish counts) for Hospice services. I tried to explain that she has heart failure, among other things, but since the doctor hadn't written it on the form, tought luck. Since then, I've had to call the fire department twice to pick her up off the floor, she's been incontinent most of the time (but not ALL) and changing the bed is hell because she kicks and fights and thinks I'm trying to molest her when I wash her. I'm so exhausted. In addition, a lesion on her arm ulcerated, and she developed a MRSA infection and is on antibiotics. I somehow strained the muscles in my arm, and I'm covered with bruises from being hit. Let's see, is there anything else I can whine about?? SHIT!!!! Oh, yes, my diet is totally screwd because of stress eating. I made carrot cake cupcakes and pretended they were a vegetable. Two little bright notes: The person who takes care of her a few hours a week insists that I'm to go to LV and she will manage. Her husband is an RN and works evenings, so she said if she has a problem, she'll call him and make him come to help and one of my other friends volunteered to be on call to help as well. Thank God for friends. My friend Carol's friend works for a DIFFERENT Hospice and called and said she'll come out and do a free evaluation to see if she can get Mom on Hospice so I can get some help.

Good morning/afternoon (evening?), I'm so behind, but I'm trying to get caught up and have some random thoughts. I--personally--think it's grossly insulting to Clay to assume that he's not capable of managing his own business affairs, and that includes RCA. No artist gets a free ride, so I expect he has to put up with his fair share of shit, just like the rest. Promotion--well, a lot of promotion is [barely disguised and sometimes outright] payola, so I'd just as soon not see Clay smeared when the shit really hits the fan over it. I think that Clay has had a reasonable amount of promotion for a covers album. I imagine it sold about what RCA expected (make a quick buck and run.) I'm not privy to the decision, but with all the crap that went down last year, maybe giving Clay some breathing room and putting out the REAL CD next year is the best move for Clay's career in the long run. At any rate, I'm just going to listen, love, and lust and let Clay figure it all out. I think it's just wonderful that he is spending his usual break time in tights. I'm thrilled he's addressing some (frigging lucky) group about UNICEF, and I can't wait for AYSTAFG and LV. As far as I can see, with Clay, we have a wealth of riches.

There was a moth outside my window , and it was hitting against the window over and over. I thought at first it was a suicidal bug and then I realized the house was shaking too.

RCA was Elvis's label. There is hope. Clay's next CD will be great. I feel it.

We'll be arriving on the 5th at the Orleans and leaving on the 7th. We're in section 118, Row FF, seats 11 and 12. I have no t-shirt or pin. I'll be at the preparty with my friend CarolJean.

I was born pissy. I f$%king love pissy.

I just watched SecretlyLovesClay's Solitaire video. It was an orgasmic experience.

I just watched the video by Mustbeme, and it's great too. It's further back, so there aren't the great closeups, but you can really see the reactions of the musicians--and the high five with DF. I can't get a thing done. Shit. I'm completely addicted.

And ..... not to something that just magically mushroomed? That's it. It wasn't a fold. He had a mushroom in his pants. How magical. :cryingwlaughter:

A gift from the gods is NOT smut. (No matter where it dangles)

Honestly, watching this video is almost a holy experience. Clay's voice has matured amazingiy. Under the spiritual circumstances, I suppose it would be just disgustingly prurient of me to suggest that you all look DOWN at about 4:48 into the video as the camera pulls back and you can see Clay below the waist.

Scarlett, yoo hoo, Oh, Scarlett........are you home? Downloading? Just waiting for showtime. :club0:

Ya'll go ahead and fight it out. He has other bones that interest me. bwah... Sluts

I would say: The world is full of cowards who just turn their back because they're afraid to get involved. I'm so proud of you.

Good morning/afternoon, I can see I'm behind on topics. Kids: My daughter was hell on wheels as a teenager, but she is a lovely young woman now and gave me TWO GRANDSONS!!! All is forgiven. Clay and Christmas: Do I understand angsting about ticket sales in October for a Christmas show? NO. Do I think that Clay is tired of Christmas shows? NO. I mean, aside from the fact that most Christmas songs are in the public domain and he doesn't have to pony up money to sing them, he's said repeatedly that he likes to tour and loves Christmas. But what do I know? I just got a call from Shubert Theatre asking if I REALLY wanted two sets of tickets to Spamalot 2 nites apart or if that was an error. LOL. They're going to be making a lot of calls, I'm afraid.

Couch Tomato Congratulations!!!!!!

Couchie Maybe you'll get lucky! LdyJocelyn I'm so sorry about your hubby's mother. I hope she is improving. I didn't realize that the fires were so terrible because I haven't been watching the news. What a tragedy! I just spent the last few hours making air, hotel, and theater reservations for NYC!!!!! I got tickets (mid-March) in rows B and C for Tuesday and Thursday. I'm WAY to cheap to spend twice that to go on the weekend! Jeesh! I can't wait!!! My friend and I are running away from our families! I love NYC!!

Scarlett F$%kem! You're a giant in the Clay Nation (and that's all that counts!) Couchie Good luck with the job!

Are you going to tell us more details????? I HAVE one of those kinds of jobs (writing), and I don't care what anyone tells you about working from home, it's WAY better than working someplace else. At least you can work with your feet up and snacking (which explains why I'm on a diet.)

Oh, God, (whimper, snortle), I just noticed the little emoticon with the heart Clay put at the end of his message. ACK!!! I cant hardly stand it, he's so frigging sweet.

AIKIM???? AIKiM????? Wake up!!! Breathe!!!! Breathe!!!

I would see Clay in a brothel Where the clientele is awful. I would see him chant with Buddhists or (PLEASE GOD) a camp for nudists. I would travel on a horse, Motorcycle, boat, or worse. I would surely go to hell just to watch him cast his spell. My lust is constant and it's steady. Packed my bags and I am ready. The Big Apple's in my sights Just to see Clays ass in tights!!
