RIFAN

I think that being judgemental is just part of Tayor's shtick. My issue with her is that often she doesn't let Clay finish his thought. (Of course, it's her show--not his--but still....) As the show ended, he said he had some stories and didn't get to tell them--and would likely forget them by next week. Honestly, the best part of the show for me is Clay's stories. That's why I listen.

And happy birthday to ldyjocelyn!! Was that Chicago trip an early birthday present?? I don't know how you will find time to celebrate today--there is so much to read on Twitter right now that you won't have time for anything else!!

Sorry, Nina--have to disagree. Never have seen him as sexist AT ALL. I think the man just calls it as he sees it and doesn't make allowances if you are a woman. Making allowances would be sexist. But, don't worry--I never throw tomatoes!! LOL

Thanks. I do remember him being on--just cannot remember that particular one from seeing the (BEAUTIFUL) screen shot.

What a great look for him!! Still my favorite hair. When was this taken and is there video to go with it?

Enjoy, ldyjocelyn !! DH had deep dish Chicago pizza today. But, it was at UNO'S--so, probably not as good as what you'll have!

Awfully disappointed to read that Clay will not be on BOLD tomorrow. Friday's are just not the same without him.

Well, I feel better!! Someone on CV who is watching said that in the comments section it was stated that he is still traveling and will be back. I should have had more faith!! I couldn't believe that he and Carrie would end everything because of how that last show went. I remembered him saying (on Tayor) that he didn't bother to argue with people he didn't care about. But, he could really argue with people he was close to because he knew they wouldn't leave him. I think he and Carrie really do have a good relationship! Now I need to watch the rest. Guess it was petty of me to stop watching when he wasn't on.

BOLD is on and I watched the first few minutes. Not even one mention of Clay. Very, very disappointed. I noticed that the last time he was on there were 7.7 K viewers on the Periscope site. The following weeks didn't have anywhere near a that number of views. Cannot bring myself to watch the rest of the show today. Too bad--I loved it and looked forward to it on Fridays.

Well, it would not have happened without an organizer--YOU!!

Love the ad!! Thanks for doing it.

Stealing this since I don't know how to do anything fancy on this board!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

I hope we see this handsome face and are exposed to his brilliant mind this Friday on BOLD. Have missed it so much! Merrieeee--so relieved that you are ok. Enjoy that well deserved bath and nap!!!

What bothers me is that it gives his location. Not sure that was public knowledge.

Wish BOLD had gone on vacation during the time Clay was with Parker!! It's been a while and I miss it. Just read "Finding Gobi" on the plane from Callifornia. I highly recommend it. It was one of the books from the Bookster segment of BOLD. It's a heartwarming story and an easy read.

My first thought was also 'what a lot of sugar"!! I'd never be able to stomach that in the morning. But, I have a grandson who is just a year younger than Parker and he'd love that!! Nothing wrong with a little extra sugar on your birthday!! I may copy that idea for when our grandkids have birthdays!! They all love whipped cream (and so does my DH who can be like a little boy when it comes to eating treats)!! I still remember the excitement the morning we got the news of Parker's birthday. I was recuperating from foot surgery and spend the entire day on the computer!! It was so exciting.

That little bit is just quintessential Clay. I LOVE that laugh. Just hearing it brightens my day.

I've listened to most of yesterday's Wake Up With Taylor. This is the first time I haven't enjoyed it--actually have to take a break and finish later. It's not Clay's fault at all--it's Taylor. I'm tired of her monopolizing the conversation and obsessing about her weight. Clay gave such good advice--stop obsessing and don't rely on the scale for a number--numbers don't always represent your ideal weight. He talked about muscle being more dense than fat, etc.. He's smart and sensible. But, she kept right at it anyway--kept obsessing. Now they are talking about country music. He's trying to explain what makes it country and she WILL. NOT. LISTEN!! She just keeps right on talking over him. It's driving me nuts!! Usually I enjoy her, but not today. Sorry for the rant! But, I just wish she'd give him a chance to finish a sentence. I swear he has the patience of a saint.

Welcome back, Merrieeee!! Love the new banner!! Also love that Clay turned down the PR opportunities--have so much respect for him.

I totally agree with you about there being so much misinformation out there!! After following Clay and reading nearly everything ever written about him, I came to realize just how bad it is. And it made me distrust much of what I read about other celebs!! I wonder if Clay had any idea how big this "UndertheDome" interview would become and I wonder how he feels about it. BOLD is going to be very interesting on Friday (assuming he is there and I sure hope he is)!!!

Two of the articles (Daily Mail) and the one from New Zealand have a glaring error! Both articles say that Clay had planned to vote for Trump. Cannot imagine how they are that confused--they must have him confused with his mother. Sloppy reporting for sure!!!

I think we celebrated pretty much the way you did, Leroy!! Did some cleaning and spent a lot of time weeding while DH mowed the lawn and used the string trimmer. Beautiful day with low humidity. I should have gone for a walk!! Big meal was an omelet with ham, peppers, onions and cheese!! It actually was delicious. We had planned to go for ice cream sundaes, but we're just too pooped from the yard work. But, all in all it was a good day!! We taped the Boston and DC fireworks so we can watch tomorrow. I did listen to Clay sing "God Bless the USA" a few times today!! I still remember when he did it--we couldn't get the station to come in so there was a frantic call to my parents to record it!! They loved it also.

I remember having a third grade student with ADHD. We didn't have fidget spinners at that time. He had a small, smooth rock that he would hold in one hand and "fidget" with it. It did help him to focus. At the end of the year he gave me the rock. I collect heart rocks and keep them in a ceramic bowl. But, there among the heart rocks is a small, smooth rock.

Thanks! We are going to Deerfield, MA--it's kind of a mini Williamsburg and we are going to stay at the inn which is on site. I just sent you a message (email) and said I thought it had been therapeutic for him to be on WUWT!! They are great together. She is compassionate and she gets him!!

I caught part of the show this morning--heard most of the letter (missed the first part). I was in tears. Anyone who doesn't realized after hearing a letter like that what a true friend and wonderful person Clay is does not deserve his friendship. Imagine pouring your heart out like that and being rejected. I was broken hearted for him. I paused the show since I had to leave the house before it was over. When I came back I resumed and started listening again. Decided to fast forward through the long commercial--big mistake. I started listening and could tell something was off. It was a different show--Jenny McCarthy, I think. So I had lost the Taylor show and will have to wait until it is up on demand or until some kind soul provides a link. I really want to hear a the whole letter and Kim story again from start to finish since I missed part of it and I want to hear the last hour or so that I missed!! But, right now I have to pack--going on a two day trip with DH for a late anniversary. Hoping the show will be up when we get back!!!
