RIFAN

That is a weird comment. I wonder if there is a misprint there--trying to think of a substitute for the word "pained". I'd love to see some of the articles--where are you seeing them??

Decided to watch AI last night--hadn't seen it for nearly 10 years (except for final show when Clay was on). Was prepared to really dislike Katy Perry-but, I liked her. Knew I'd like Lionel Ritche and had never heard of Luke Bryant. Enjoyed the show enough to keep watching. Was interested to listen to Catie Turner after reading an article where she spoke about being upset when she auditioned during the last season and was told by Clay that she wasn't ready yet. She didn't take it well and didn't seem to realize that he was very qualitified to be a judge. She couldn't understand being cut by a "former contestant". In all fairness, she was a baby when his season was on and totally missed all of the excitement, etc. I'm sure she didn't know a thing about him and didn't realize just how talented he is. But, I think she should realize that he most likely spoke the truth and did her a huge favor--because now she is more ready and did get the ticket to Hollywood. She probably wouldn't have made it past the other judges had he let her through during that last show. Anyway, I wish her well and hope she realizes that Clay is actually very fair and knows what he is talking about. I liked several who auditioned last night--they did all seem so young, though. No one stood out to me the way Clay did. (I suspect no one ever will!) Wonder if anyone else is watching.

Thanks so much for this!! I watched on Periscope until it stopped working. Went to Facebook later and could not get it wot work. (I confess I pouted just a bit!). Now I will be able to watch the whole thing--thanks to you!!!

Really enjoying the Olympic figure skating. There is a Clay connection--they save it for last every night!! Remember when we'd watch shows and wait for Clay to be on and he was always on at the end--same thing!! Loving that lots of music from the 60s is being used. I went to the NIP site to do the heart challenge. I clicked on the first two I saw and it worked. Then, when I clicked on the other hearts I found, nothing happened. I went to the site three times and tried and it just didn't work. I'd see the flashing heart and the first couple would work--then after that nothing would happen when I clicked. I am on an iPad. May get out my computer later and see if that works. What a great idea, though!! Very creative.

Love it!

Here's Clay "Bringing Sexy Back" He's more entertaining than anyone I've ever watched. Knows how to have fun!! Loved that tour--he had everyone in stitches.

Nice, upbeat half time show!! And he went up into the audience and a boy got to take a selfie with him.

Watching the Super Bowl halftime show. Justin Timberlake's is singing "Bringing Sexy Back"--sorry--all I can think of is Clay singing it at the SRHP Tour!! Will have to see if I can find Clay's version on you tube!!

Also enjoyed BOLD even though it kept cutting out for me (on Periscope) for the first half hour. Will have to go back and rewatch since I missed the flow of the conversation every time it cut out. I LOVED his look--just perfection! I think when he says he's not interested in dating what he really means is that he kind of wants her to mind her own business about it!! He's a private person. But, the good natured teasing doesn't really seem to bother him. I was awfully glad to see him after all the crap on Twitter that is being thrown at him. Nice to see him looking so good!

I agree, FearofH2O--Clay and Morgan were great together. I do like Carrie, but felt that Morgan seemed more at ease--very good chemistry between them. It made me want to tune into the business show on Tuesdays--maybe I could learn something!!! I will have to watch BOLD again--it kept cutting out on me (Periscope) and I missed bits of it. Have to say--loved the hair--perfect color for him!! (Although, the hair really never matters--he always looks good to me.)

So sorry you have been so sick, ldyjocelyn!! Hope you are nearing the end of it! It's been in the single digits here in NH and the demand for oil is exceeding what can be delivered. They have enough oil, just not enough people to deliver it--and they've been working round the clock. It's a statewide problem. So, when our tank showed 1/4 full last week, DH called and they said they couldn't get to us until January 24!! We knew we'd never make it that long. Well, we ran out Sunday during the night--woke up to 58 degrees (which isn't too bad). It seems our oil gauge is not really all that accurate. So DH called and they said they could move us up to Friday--the best they could do. We cannot blame them--they've always been reliable--it's just beyond their control. Fortunately, DH knew that he could use diesel from a gas station. So, he has made multiple trips with gas cans and has put 35 gallons in to hold us over. He may need to go back before Friday. I have the heat turned waaaaay down in the bedroom and wore a turtle neck and LLBean fur lined shirt to bed--also have a toasty warm down comforter. So, we are fine--but, it was a bit scary before I realized DH could use the diesel--was worried about freezing pipes, etc. The weather is a balmy 38 degrees today and will warm up more this week, so that will also help. I will be relieved when we get our oil!!! It really is absurd that we ran out--we have two oil tanks which hold a total of over 600 gallons! But, we never realized that the oil gauge is so inaccurate. Lesson learned!!!

This is one of my new favorite pictures!! Sometimes he takes my breath away--seeing this picture was one of those times. LOVED him on BOLD. Especially loved when he said to the girl he agreed with that he'd go straight so he could marry her!! I missed last week when she filled in for him--will have to go back and watch now. Missed part of it due to an interruption--good excuse to go back and watch whole thing again.

Had to Google YAG laser surgery. Didn't know that sometimes cloudiness resulted after cataract surgery and then they'd have to do the laser. Is that what happened? I had cataract surgery at a fairly young age a few years ago. For me the worst part was all of the eye drops! What I loved was that the doctor put corrective lenses in. I had worn glasses since the second grade--could barely see the large E on the eye chart. Now I have 20-20 vision in one eye and 20-40 in the other. She did the 20-40 so I could still read a newspaper without reading glasses. (Did you bring an iPad with Clay songs to listen to for the 4 hours--bet you wished you had!!!)

This is the post I was intending to quote in my post above!! Sorry.

They didn't include his second tweet--just the first one and they really go together. Still, glad they did include him with other celebrities. When Clay tweets, people do take notice. Anticpating seeing him on BOLD tomorrow!!

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgivng as well. Have two--one tomorrow at DD's with her family. Then on Saturday my sister, two brothers and all spouses are coming to our house for another turkey dinner. DH is so clever--he goes out the day after Thanksgivng and gets a fresh turkey for a fraction of what it would have cost the day before Thanksgiving!! We always have such a good time--this second Thanksgiving is a new tradition we started four years ago.

I am so sorry to hear it. Will certainly keep him (and you) in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will be there for encouragement, but it's got to be hard for you both. Keep us posted.

I loved him singing this so much that I put the audio in my iPod and had it on repeat. He looked hauntingly beautiful to me that night. Unfortunately, I've not been able to rewatch much of that final show--such a travesty--but, this is the part that I could watch a million times and it still wouldn't be enough.

Love the new banner!! Some great new pics. I wonder if stuffedplay had puppets and was anything like the puppets that they did on Celebrity Apprentice. Clay was SO GOOD at it. He and Lisa were comedy gold. I actually didn't recognize her at first in the pics above. Clay is awfully cute in shorts!!! Actually, he's just awfully cute in anything!!!

Fun watching and loved that Clay was on with Meghan--he's pretty sharp! Maybe I am just too much of a rule follower--but, I didn't think it was fair that they gave Joy an extra 20 seconds. Then she went on to win. (Yes, I know it was all in good fun--but still.....)

I can see him even tho it's blurry. Looks as if he's wearing the same shirt as he has on in the banner! Can definitely also tell it's him by his feet. So like Clay to be there to support Meghan. He is a true friend.

I'm so glad I just came here now instead of messing around trying to get Facebook to replay! I don't know why I didn't get the notification for Periscope. Couldn't even find it when I looked. Anyway--it's there for replay and I am a happy camper. I should remember that good things come to those who wait!! Just read below about Jerome being at the Gala--wonderful news Also read below about the BOLD donation to NIP--fantastic!! SO GLAD HE IS BACK!!!!

Apparently they are using Facebook today. Have been sitting here waiting for the periscope to start. Cannot watch Facebook live on iPad!! #veryfrustratedand disappointed!! Will try to get replay later this evening. Made sure I was home from 10-11 today for BOLD. Wish they'd be consistent. You never know if they will periscope or not. Sorry to be so grumpy--just very disappointed--was so looking forward to seeing him live after so many weeks of not having him on!! I am one who loves him on BOLD.

Loved the show! But, I missed the Billy Porter part. I paused it to take a shower and then came back and listened. When I do that I can advance it and skip the commercials. But, I skipped too much when I was advancing and the next thing I knew it was the Jenny McCarthy Show. Billy Porter was the part I really wanted to hear!!! Next time I will just suffer through the commercials instead of trying to fast forward. Clay mentioned being there in October--will love having him on. But, I'm wondering if that means that the "thing" he was going to be busy with isn't happening. Hope that's not the case. Was just thinking as I listened this morning how he is always on with women who are opposite from him. He's such a news junkie and doesn't know a lot of the pop culture stuff--Taylor--just the opposite, so they complement each other. Then he has been on with Meghan and Carrie--both opposite political views. Even when he did the trial radio show with Quiana--opposites. She'd give the whacky and funny answers and he'd laugh and try to give some answers that made more sense. I still remember the question about someone saying they'd go months with hearing from a boyfriend and Quiana asked if maybe he was in jail!!! They really were comedy gold together. But, Clay is just "Gold" no matter whom he is with and what kind of show he is on.

Ditto to what ninna and ldyjocelyn just posted!! (I love that when I start to type ldyjocelyn the computer finishes it for me!!!) (Edited because I just noticed that the computer also finished ninna, but autocorrected it to make Nina!! Guess my computer is not as smart as I thought it was!!)
