Beautiful banner!!!

One of the funniest Friends episodes evah.....Bwahahahahaah!

Lord, those pictures are yummy! I think he got a little sun while he was in Mexico....only on his face, though!

Is one set of videos better than the other or should I download all of them?

I know! I know!!! The board was formed by some disgruntled members from RHT/Eayor. They were the positivity patrol. They left because they didn't like that some people in Eayor thought there was a chance that Clay could be gay. I joined the board to stay in touch with friends, but most of them gravitated to CV, so I can contact them there. How in the world did they get my email info.? That kind of bothers me....I certainly was never one of the "positivity patrol" and couldn't care less if Clay is or isn't gay.

Yes, and it's a shitload of fun!

Hmmm.....clayrefugees? I've never heard of them, but one could take that either way. Either they're former Clay fans who have emmigrated to another Nation, or they're fans that have been exiled from their home boards for some heinous crime against the governing body....you know, like being too positive, or letting him make his own career choices or something. Sounds like an interesting situation. Will you reply? I hadn't planned to respond. I am a little gunshy about stuff like that since asswipe came on the scene.

Does anyone here know of a board called "clayrefugees"? I just got an email from them and I have no idea who they are or what the board is...

True...unfortunately patience is not my virtue. I'll be fine...*sniff*....really.

AAACK....tomorrow?

He is a manly man in that shirt and jeans....YUMMY!

What would it be like to be able to bid $20,000 dollars for a dinner? That's just about a half a years salary for me. I can't imagine having that kind of money. I think I went into the wrong profession!

Per CV: the dinner went for $20,000 and they ended up with 2 of them!

from CV: I hear a lady's voice which I think is Diane. My guess is that it was Jerry Aiken speaking before about the foundation from the word here and there I could get. more: eeeeee - I think Clay is speaking now

I don't think she is going to Spamalot because she feels it interferes with his recording time. Please, please, please don't let that be just a dream I had.

I half expected him to show up in a Payne Stewart type outfit...knickers and plaid!

I should be home tonight...I can bring over info. from the CV cellcert if no one else has volunteered....

I always wonder why people care if someone is gay or not. I've been married for 26 years, and the only person whose sexuality is remotely my business would be my husband's. So, if I'm not planning on sleeping with Clay, and he's not singing with his pecker, why the hell should anyone think I would care what he does with it? I think the next time someone feels it their duty to inform me that Clay is gay, I'm going to ask them if they were planning on sleeping with him? Especially the guys. This wasn't even about Clay and it was so bizarre. Would he take Groban's CD back to WalMart if he happened to be gay? Does the way he sings "Ave Maria" sound differently if he's gay? I don't understand that kind of narrow minded thinking. I'm sure part of it is because he grew up in a different time....he's about 20 years older than me... He and his wife both love Clay's voice...he thinks Clay's rendition of "IYDKMBN" is amazing....would he throw away his cds if he found out he were gay? Too weird for me. It changes my perception of him...honestly. I have a hard time talking with him now that I know he views gay people as less worthy or something.

I've never stayed home from work because Clay was on tv...I have stayed up a couple of times waaaaaay too late to see him on Leno or Kimmel but not very often. Girl needs her beauty sleep... I don't talk about Britney much...I think she is very ill and needs help....she has enough money to get it but hasn't yet figured out she needs it. I actually don't talk about any celebrity much...even Clay. I don't really see the need. I guess that's why it's always amazing when someone tries to foist their opinion of Clay on me. Didn't ask for it, don't need it. Here's a story that still has me picking my jaw up off the floor. A friend's husband was chatting with me at a Christmas party. He was talking about how much he enjoyed Josh Groban's Christmas album...I told him I thought he had a good voice, yada, yada....to which he replied: "God, I hope I don't find out he's gay!" I kid you not. Now, my first question is WTF does that have to do with his ability to sing? I still shake my head in wonder....

:F_05BL17blowkiss: heee OK, sometimes I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. I have not had any issues with anybody regarding Clay..oh one guy 2 jobs ago but he was obsessed with Shakira so I had plenty of ammunition. I thought he was juvenile and I never let him upset me. I don't how I'd feel if it were a family member. I have an aunt who likes to tell my mother that Clay is gay but she has never said it to me. I also know she has issues as she also talks to my mom about her children all the time and one time was very upset to find out one of her sons was going with a white girl. Hello? This is 2008 and both my brother and sister are married to people who are not African American. To me she just doesn't think so nothing she says bothers me. My brother in law was another one who used to be on the but he didn't win kick and felt he was eclipsing Ruben. At first I just tried to tell him they are in the real world now and they are on their own...but after he went to the IT tour (only to see Kelly BWAH) he ended up respecting Clay and liking his set more. My family helps me sometimes when I want to get to Clay things or mailing pins or helping me when I help host our JNT05 party. I just don't know how I'd respond if they dissed to my face something that makes me so happy. So hugs to all that have to deal with this on any level. Do you think they are jealous of your time or affection or just being bratty? Jumping Jacks..yeah I've also said in the past that it's a respect issue between the people involved but now I believe that may be only one of the reasons. I think maybe jealousy or crying for attention may be another as well. Hell, do we have any experts around here My "Dr. Phil" hat says she thinks I'm being taken advantage of because, somehow, I'm not old enough or smart enough to make my own decisions. I also think that the arrogance of the one is directly related to her being a "music major" and thinking she is far more qualified to determine what is and isn't good music...even though I've been involved in music since elementary school. Third, I think the fact that he was on American Idol makes him a joke to her and I'm a fool for buying into the hype. Lordy, how did I ever make it this far in my life without her helping me decide what is best for me. The saddest part is she isn't even family.

Someone mentioned on CV that the family members and friends who continually make comments about Clay are actually taking swipes at us. They can't call us idiots so they take a swipe at Clay every chance they get. I think that makes a lot of sense and it hurts. I only have one person who tries to harass me about him and I shut her down and out very quickly. She seems to think her taste in entertainment is so much more evolved than mine. Right. I get sick of people thinking I know nothing about music or what makes me happy. I'm not stupid...I've been involved in music all my life. Do they really think I follow this guy because he CAN'T sing? WTF?

Is there anyone on this board who isn't obsessed? Heeee, I think not. :PickMe-1: I don't consider myself obsessed....nu-uh, not me, nope, nope, nope......

I love Clay's comment about the golfing tournament being a great way to "swing" into 2008. What a card!

Holy crap! Surely you didn't include NBTT in that printed stuff! I've printed it out and it's mumbledymumbledy thousands of pages! Wow....... :F_05BL17blowkiss: I think I read NBTT all on the computer....during one weekend! My eyes have never been the same!

I used to read fanfic all the time, too, but have since moved on except for one at CV I keep an eye on. Here's a confession, though....I have your stories printed off and in a notebook...muski...every once in awhile I'll take a big ole notebook outside and reread them. I have a couple of other stories that I printed to read. I can't bring myself to throw them away.
