RIFAN

Indeed! Just gorgeous. 💕💕💕 Love the new banner as well. Fun to have so many thud worthy pictures the last few days. Just like old times. So happy for Clay and for us.

It just came up on my Yahoo news under entertainment. So glad they are promoting this!!! Wish so much that I could go. Most of all I’m just happy for Clay and Ruben and hope it is a sell out!!!

Looks like lots of stage makeup—maybe for the Clay and Ruben show. Always love that crooked smile-one side goes up and the other goes down. He looks like he has a big secret. Wonder if this is the picture that will be used to announce the show! Bet he is just bursting to tell.

THUD!! That’s the one! I must have that people magazine stashed somewhere in the depths of our basement. I have my Clay tote bag that I got when I joined the fan club and those special magazines and concert programs are in it. I may have to visit it!! But, in the mean time I will just come here and feast my eyes on that picture. I knew you’d know which one I meant. That “All is Well” hair is also a favorite as is the song itself. I use my iPhone for an alarm and it plays All is Well every morning. Seems like a good message to begin each day.

The funny thing is that when “Tried and True” got delivered to my mailbox (Amazon order), I had a house full of company so I knew I wouldn’t get a chance to really hear it until they left. We had ordered pizza and I immediately offered to drive in to town to get it so I could listen on the way in. I took my time and sat outside the pizza place while Unchained Melody was playing. I was in sheer heaven. So, I listened to both of those albums for the first time while driving—lucky that I was able to stay on the road. Oh, God. And that reminds me of the time I went to Walmart and got the People magazine with the center spread of him—I opened it up and left it on the passenger seat so I could keep looking at it. Talk about a distracted driver!!! Does anyone know which one I mean. It’s the one with the crinkly shirt. One of his best pictures ever.

I didn’t go to any release parties. Lived in RI at the time and not sure if there were any. Wasn’t even on any boards back then, but I think I read at CB so I knew when he’d be on my TV, etc. I do remember rushing to the store after school to pick up MOAM (which I had reserved). The ride home from the store was only about 15 minutes and I wanted to hear more of the CD while I was driving, so I took a real detour and went a long way out of my way. I wasn’t as familiar with this route and almost missed a stop sign. It would have been awfully embarrassing if I’d had a fender bender! How would I have ever explained what I was doing over in the next town on my way home from school!! I think “Touch” was playing when I came to that stop sign, so it has always been kind of special and when I play it I think of the first time I heard of it. I know Clay hates that song, but I love it. I love everything he has ever sung.

Twilight—Congratulations on your award—so deserving —just thrilled for you!!!

What is the eHP? For all of you who are going—have a wonderful time and show him the love!

Happy birthday 🍰🎊🎉🎁—one day late!!

.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow, ldyjocelyn. Hope the procedure will make you pain free after it’s done.

I am definitely using the right log in and password. And it’s the WiFi from our house. Not really getting an error—just that nothing happens when put my info in and then hit “log in”. Funny thing is that I just tried it on my iPhone with no problem. I don’t have a twitter app—I always search and log in that way. I guess as long as i can get it on my phone I’m ok since I hardly ever use it. I was shocked to see how many followers Clay had lost. I read that they had done a “purge”. Do you know if he’s going to be on BOLD tomorrow? I’ve missed him so much that i went to his facebook page and played part of an April episode!!! That was when he had the VERY BLOND hair!!! Love 💕 his hair in the above pics of the show he’s going to be on! 💕

I have a Twitter question. First of all, I cannot get onto my account at all on the new iPad a got several weeks ago. Secondly, when I use the old iPad and do get on, the format is different and I cannot access anything. It just freezes up. I can see that I have 6 replies or retweets, but cannot get them. I did a search for BOLD since I wanted to see if Clay would be there tomorrow. Got their page, but it would not scroll down and then it froze. I am really frustrated and feel out of the loop since I always enjoyed looking at Clay's page and liked to retweet his tweets--Can't do that now either. Just wondering if anyone else has problems and if their format has also changed.

What a nice surprise to come and find this!! Those last two notes were just so pure! One of my favorite Clay songs and I will never forget hearing it live when he did the PBS taping. OMG—that note—what was that note?! Will forever love that OMG concert. Hope all who are at the concert are loving it! Thanks for this ldyjocelyn.

You are so right. I haven’t listened to his music in a while. I know if I listen to one of his songs right now, it’ll be like hearing it for the first time and I will be gobsmacked all over again!! 💕

Ldyjocelyn, I'm sorry to read about your husband's accident and to learn that he is still searching for that job. I have thought of you so often and hope that things will all work out for you both. i feel like a bad fan--totally forgot about Parker's birthday--first time. In some ways I'm afraid I do feel myself drifting away--no news, no BOLD, no Clay. But, when that has happened before, he makes an appearance and I'm drawn right back in. I do hope he's having a great summer with Parker--he deserves it and also deserves his privacy.

It may be BS for Clay's season, but how would Clay know what happened (or didn't happen) during Taylor's season? Speaking of Taylor's season--favorite moment was when Clay appeared singing DLTSGDOM. That's all anyone talked about for days.

Hoping that phone interview turns into a job for your DH-fingers crossed!!

Oh no!! I gasped when I read this. So glad your hip seems ok, though. Take care.

Exciting news!! And--yes, about the insurance--I though of that! He is a practical man. Wonder if he is already filming. He has been back to having hair that looked a bit more like AI Clay. Hope he has that look for the show.

Glad he has Thayne for a friend--wish Thayne would post a video of Clay. I noticed the loaf of bread and was reminded of the time Clay talked about how "the twisty ties confused" him every time when he tried to make a sandwich. I also remember that he said things in his kitchen had to be blue and I noticed a couple of blue items. Have to finish watching BOLD--got busy today--I always savor it--so glad I still have some left.

I'm sure Clay wil receive plenty of hateful comments, but he is spot on!! He's really criticizing the judges--not Catie. Although I personally am amazed that she even got this far. I listened to that song--it wasn't just that she forgot the lyrics--just didn't sound good at all. She seems extremely immature and perhaps the judges sense that she wouldn't take criticism well--who knows? In any case, he said a couple of years ago that she was not ready--she still isn't. It really is doing the kids a disservice to say that everything they are doing is wonderful. Kind of like giving everyone a trophy who participates. Constructive criticism doesn't hurt anyone--it helps them to grow and it helps to prepare them for the tough music business.

This is wonderful!!!!!

It is a looong flight. We fly Southwest to California twice a year. They don't have entertainment either, but we manage just fine. The flights are a bit cheaper and we figure you get what you pay for. I bring newspaper articles that I've been too busy to read and use my Kindle and bring my iPad. I can play word games on the Kindle when I get tired of reading. I also listen to my iPod (Clay) a bit. I notice a lot of people have downloaded movies onto their iPads also. I actually find it refreshing not to have tv or a movie. I don't understand why Clay doesn't fly a different airline-one that does have movies. He certainly can afford to do that.

Thanks! I think I'll skip the Google alerts. I used to get them and then got so upset when lots of unkind ones towards Clay would come through. So, I stopped.
