It is really hard to wait for answers. When I left the MRI yesterday they said it could be as long as 5 business days for the results. In two weeks I am suppose to ride my bike on a 300 mile trip and would like answers before I go. I am one of those who really like GOG. It is in my top 5, but then again I do not skip any song when I listen. My stereo in my new car is great and I love turning up the sound when I have my hour drive to work. Makes that trip go fast. Yes, it is scarry out there. So much doom and gloom. Now I am reading how he needs to change the way he does interviews. I love his intelligence and humor. He does not need to change. Better make my way to bed, got lots to do tomorrow.

My husband listened to my CD last week, and placed three songs unto his computer to play while he is working. I was surprised at his choices, because if I would of guessed three that he would of pick they would not of been these. His choices where OMWH, GOG, LAAL. Could use some good thoughts, in the last couple of weeks I have had two mammagrams, ultrasound, and a MRI of my Lt. breast. It is hard waiting for answers. Next I expect to here I will need a biopsy. This is a area that is not felt either by me or my doctor, so it was a suprise when the results came back. I keep telling myself that 80% of lumps are benign. This week starting on Saturday for the next 8 days I will be working alot at the Buick Open. Tiger has announced he is not coming so our crowds will be lower. I know our sport teams at the High School use the parking revenue to supplement some of the cost that occur during their seasons. Hope they still do well.

I always thought that pictures and video with CLay and Jaymes in it showed two people who thought a lot of each other. Do not know if this is just respect or a true relationship. Either way is fine with me. I just know that he has looked very happy. It is one beautiful day here in Michigan. Rain last night, but very sunny right now. We went out and rode our bikes this am. We manage to get 42 miles in before that darn wind begins to pick up again. So now I am doing laundry, hubby just got off the roof from repairing the fireplace, and I think I am going to watch a video I have wanted to see. Check in later.

I was reading all of your comments last night and agree with the majority. I will just say that I believe Clay until he says differently. I will love him no matter what and will continue to support him. It was a long day at work yesterday and with all the talk of drinks, I wished I had one. Left my bucket of margaritta(sp) mix at my sons house on Sunday in his freezer. We were out on the lake when the tornado sirens went off and we barely made it back to his house. Not in time to get the chairs that flew into the lake, and also he lost the canopy over the boat hoist. They are saying we did not have a tornado but horizonal winds at 150 miles hour. Whatever it was it was scary. Also, I was really getting hungry over the peanut butter and choc. pie. RHODY, I was almost ready to jump in my car and drive over to your house. It sounded so good. Still can not get my bold to work, forgive me.

Went out again and tried to weed some more, at least I made a dent. Now the thunder storms are beating down on us, so most likely will have to shut down in a while. Because I work in a Pediatric Intensive Care and Neonatal Intensive Care I see the little ones who have been born early. It really breaks your heart when parents have been through IVF and have so much hope and their little one is born so early. Sometimes a good outcome, sometimes not. I remember a family who went through IVF and their little guy died after about three months, they did not know if they would even try it again. Not only was it extremely emotional but very costly and did not know if they could handle it. I just hope that this pregnancy goes close to full term and that the baby is healthy, and this wish is with the thought that this be so even if it is not Clay's.

I do not understand the hate of Jaymes or anybody else associated with Clay. I do not know these people so will not put anyone down. It does appear he thinks alot of her, and we do not know of what degree. I just know up to last week he has looked so happy and content. These people who constantly write about the demise of his carreer just irritate me. I understand that his fan base is less but he was never going to maintain the amount he had right after idol. I look at his sales and wish for more, but nobody is selling in overwelming numbers. It has really changed even more in the last year. Groups that my children listen to are now selling one-half or a third of what they did 2-3 years ago. I just want him around to entertain us, and to have respect on the people who are important. Be damn the bottom feeders. I just attempted to pull weeds. It is 90 outside, I lasted abour 30 minutes and had to come in. It is suppose to be like this tomorrow and I am suppose to bike ride 40-50 miles. I may have to rethink that. I will be working the registration first so I may just change my mind when it is mine time to start.

I sitting here, probably a little slap happy, because I worked at our High School Post Grad Party last night. I was their from 1pm yesterday to 3am this morning. Came home and had had so much coffee could not go to sleep for another hour. I have been reading and agreeing with parts of everyone post. If this is true, and I believe it is, I hope that they are happy with their decision. I would not of dreamed of this scenerio for him, but I also think that this did not come out of the blue and was well thought out. He is just an incredible person with a great spirit and an even more incredible voice, that I want the world for him. Sometimes when I see all the hate from the media I hope that he will just not decide to chuck it all in. That would be very heartbreaking. I have decided for me to, just let him whenever he is ready, communicate with us and not get myself all upset over all the media .

Been lurking all day and reading. Did not have much to add to any conversation so I was satified just to read. In response to comments being made on any statements I write, I do not expect it. I am new here and just happy to be part of a good group of people who respect and appreciate Clay. I do not think he is perfect but I am one not to make any critical comments. If I do not like something I usually just keep quite. Mostly because I am not very articulate and may have a problem stating my opinion so most people would not get what I was talking about. I do like to read all comments good or bad. Sometimes they really get me thinking in another direction and that is not so bad. I stated a few days ago about Clay and the baby. I still not sure what I feel, I just hope that whatever is true that he remains happy and will continue to be part of our lives and entertain us. I would like to think, if it is true, that Jaymes and Clay both knew what would happen when this came out and are prepared for whatever the news will bring. He has looked so happy lately that I hope that is not taken away.

Sorry guys about the abbreviation, just did not feel like writing it out.

I have been online on and off all day and it was a real shocker. I have to agree that he has looked so happy in the last few months. This had to have been well thought out and I hope both of them are happy with their decision. We do not know what took place, wether they tried the conventional way and could not concieve or decided that AI was the route they wanted to do. I also believe that they know what will be said on all the tv show, be it late night comics or the more tabloid show. They both must be a lot stronger than me. I hope they have a healthy baby and congrat go to them.

I enjoyed every one of those songs. Noticed the ruffness in his voice especially on OMWH, but live performances are not going to sound like the CD. His voice on SAU was beautiful and sexy at the same time. This was not one of my favorites from the beginning, but as I listen to him and see him sing it I am loving it more and more. It is going to be hard waiting for a tour. Also, he looked wonderful, very handsome, sexy, and confident. Sometimes I am not sure I like his hair, but this looked great on him. Those hands are another thing, I am glad they focused on them several times.

I saw IJ last Thurs. and enjoyed it, alot of it is just fun to watch, though farfetched. I was suppose to work today but got called off becuase our censes was low. During the winter months we are busting at the seams but come summer we are slower. All the nasty winter bugs the kids get slip away, so most of the admissions are trauma, surgeries, or asthma. I am hoping that we do not have a repeat of last summer. I think we had 7 gunshot victims, all around 14-16 years of age, most gang related. I am still loving every bit of this CD. There is probably two songs I am not found of, but I usually do not even skip them. I know I mentioned before that I wanted him to tour on his own. I am just not sure who he could tour with. He takes command of the stage so much it would be hard to match him with someone.

This will tell my age, but the very first concert was when I was 15 and at our local teen club I heard Sonny and Cher. Thought it was great, then my second concert around the same age, was at a teen dance at the local ymca. There I heard Simon and Garfunkle. I lived in Saginaw, Mi. at the time and couldn't believe they used it in a song. Saw many concerts during college years but of late the worse concert I have been to was Randy Travis. Phil Vassar opened up and he was really good, then Randy came on. It was 95 degrees that night in a ourdoor venue. He wore a turtle neck shirt and a jacket. He did not move from one spot all night, or even showed any personality. I could of listen to the CD and enjoyed it more. I do not know who Clay could tour with. I am spoiled and enjoy his two hours on stage. I have a hard time sharing. If he opened up for somewho is bigger he would probably be on for only 30-45 minutes, and I would hate it. I rather see him in a small venue then have a bigger crowd and less time. I know that is my opinion. I know he needs new fans. I just do not like to share.

Off to bed but am glad that this place is the voice of reason. No matter what happens with the numbers I will just remember that Clay has appeared very happy lately. Just have a feeling he has something going on but is not ready to reveal, and if he doesn't then I hope he gets the rest he deserves. I know that I would of been exhausted after his schedule the last five or more months. Have to go to class tomorrow and with a 50 minute ride will be enjoying his CD. My new car stereo is fantastic.

It is nasty out their reading all the doom and gloom. Even though I am not happy with sales, reading all this makes someone like me who is normally a happy person, really depressed. All I care is that his fans love the CD. It only took less than two weeks for people (his so called fans) to start being critical of his music and his voice. Why can't people be happy for him. If I hear one more time that his voice is to pretty I am going to puke. His voice is why I am here. I love it on this CD and I find it so hard to believe that his fans are now starting to question him. I could say more, but I will leave it at that. Rant over.

It must be the weekend for book sales. Just got back from cleaning up ours. We hold ours three times a year, and it is alot of work. We accept donations in between and store them. We them moved them into a big room and sell them for 5 days. We charge $.25 a book either paperback or hard copy. We have many people come and usually make between $2000-3000. Some of our left over donations did go in the dumpster tonight, they were mostly old text books that will not sell and we just get rid of them because storage becomes a problem. I just know that after setup and takedown my back is killling me. I am loving this CD. The 50 minutes ride into work now just seems short because I get to listen to the whole thing on my way. For all the complaining people did about Kimmel, I could care less. He looked and sounded great. I just do not get worked up over little details. I have realized that this CD may never sale what I want it to, but it is beautiful and that will be a great lost. I listen to many artist who get complimented and good reviews and to not also understand why, some of their music and lyrics are so bad. I hope that someday Clay will get the respect he so deserves.

I know everyone has a opinion and sees thing differently, but that was the most god awful performance that I have ever seen from a previous winner on idol. I have never understood the Fantasia love, but I hated what she tried to sing. I just got screaming out of it and could not understand any words.

As much as I wish Clay's number were higher I am just glad he did as well as he did. I hope that he gains respect. The Fox station that Playbiller mention was just mean spirited in their comment. He is one talented man and deserves to be treated that way. I stayed up and watched Leno last night. He was wonderfull, and sang that song great. I had to go to a computer class this am and got up at 5am, but I could not miss the performance and knew that even though I taped it, waiting to late this afternoon was not going to do. Surprisingly I was not to tired even though I had an hour drive to get to the class. He is always worth being a little tired. I just can not believe how gorgeous he looked last night. He just gets better looking all the time.

I am sorry but David A will never hold a candle to Clay. This is one "menopausal fan" who will not follow him. I am in love with one, Clay Aiken.

I am back. I am so bored with David A. I know he will be in the finals but can not figure out where he is going to fit in todays music. He surely can not sing the type of songs that the tweeny's will like and I for one will not buy the sappy songs he will sound the best on. I really think he needs to work on his stage presence. Seysha I feel bad for because no matter what she would of done tonight they would of been critical of her. They do not want her in the finals. David C did well on the last song but did not sell it to me. I sometimes wonder how they will support two rockers.

OK, second round. I guess I am in a bad mood, hated everyone of them. I thought David C was terrible, and I normally like him. David A can not do comtemporay music.

I do not know if it is just me, but I found all three of them boring. David A especially, he can only do ballads. David C was pitchy on some notes. Sesha sang well, just not great.

Every spring I remind myself that when the start of biking season starts it is going to hurt. Today we went out and actually did 35 miles.It was very chilly this am and I had to wear my lycra leg warmers(that is not a pretty site)and a thermal bike shirt. I am looking for some warm weather to start. My legs feel great but overall I am tired. It did not help that for three hours this afternoon I helped set up for our library book sale and hauled books,many heavy boxes, from the back room to another room and we did not even make a dent. Came home took some motrin and then took a nap. I enjoyed your listening party last night and will be here to view tonight. I really love your comments. I always feel I am not very articulate so I will not offer my comments but will say I am in love with this CD and have many favorites.

That had of been one of the funniest interviews he has ever done. It was so funny when he tried the beans. I did notice the shrimp on the grill but I am not sure it was on his plate. Maybe they removed it when they were not filming him. I have listened to the CD many times. Still can not determine my favorite. When some critics say these are all ballads I wonder what they are listening to. I am hoping the total amount sold increases this weekend and he can come closer to number 1. You know he will comment on being number 2 again.

I was shocked this morning, my K-mart actually had the poster. This is a very small K-mart and hardly has anything. Then I went to Walmart and looked and every other CD was out including Neil's but not Clay's. I found a man who opened boxes and found them. They only had the special edition one but it scanned for $9.72 so I was not going to argue. I listened on my new car stereo and it sounded great. I am in love with this CD. Damn those critics, what were they listening to. Because I sure am not hearing what they are. I am going to just ignore!!.
