Hee! Do you think it's too much?

Okey dokey, we've got our undies properly hidden again--that was embarrassing.

Yoo hoo.

Ruben!!!!!!

Yah, quote hell isn't going to be such a big deal for us, I don't think. It looks like the pre-upgrade images are showing along with the code, so not a bad deal. So far so good.... Oh, and he's pretty isn't he? The board now dings at me when someone posts. Maybe just when it's open....

OK, testing, testing, testing 1 2 3 4 Alrighty, looks like we are OK going forward. Too soon to tell about the rest, but so far I've seen quote codes and image codes. All the threads seem to be here, and the avatars.

Looks like our code is showing everywhere - lol. Makes sense. Let me see what happens if I want to quote something now........

Ninna you were actually a car washer for awhile, due to my getting cutsey, but according to the list, you should have been a bodyguard for awhile. I'm keeping my eyes out for possible board issues once they do the big upgrade. Hopefully changes will be minor. I didn't realize how much trouble I was having posting until it started working right again--I think I've had a few glitches for a long time now.

The board is working sooooo much better. I came to give it a test run and was just checking around randomly to see if all the posts in all the threads were still there, and ran across this post. All the same guy on the same night. And thank you bottlecap for keeping them in your photobucket.

I got to hear it live - yay! And I didn't know there was going to be a private concert last night. I just happened to have my iPad whistle at me. And Clay and I must have a connection - lol - because after fumbling around getting the iPad open, getting cut off once, I at last made it with a sigh of relief and hoped I hadn't miss too much, and Clay looked at me and nodded (thinking I am sure that jmh123 is here now) and started. Heh.

This is from the Philadelphia Fox station; wonder how many others have picked up the theme of Idol being boring? ‘Jesus’ wigs, boomboxes and Clay Aiken keep ‘American Idol’ auditions exciting in week 2

Clay started something. This recap from the LA TImes is full of criticisms of the judge's behavior: 'American Idol' recap: Is Clay Aiken right about the judges? For example:

Shoot, I almost finished a reply and then backspaced. Short version, thanks for the explaining. Sounds to me more and more like a way of drumming up some PR for the Idol appearance, in Feb. Makes sense. Regarding the big question of is his career over because of ... , how many times now has that been considered? Hee!! It's possible this is just the beginning of attention paid to Clay between now and then--as to later in the season, those things are so fluid. Idol will do whatever they think will work to get PR. The outlets who reported this first are respected "entertainment news" outlets or more (Vanity Fair). And perhaps he has something else in the works to gain attention as well. I'm still enjoying that concert from Monday. ETA: I went to find it so I could "save" it, and it was buried by the so-called news articles linked on his FB page about his tweets last night, and almost all of them used really hot photos. I had no idea!! There are dozens!

Not having seen the timeline you mention, ldyj, do some people think the mentoring he mentioned in his web concert has already been done? Not that I feel dramatically about it either away, just curious? Must be Major Speculating afoot. Not that Clay fans would ever speculate. If the question just happened to be "has Clay blown his opportunity to appear on Idol?" just as a wild guess, mind you, Idol LOVES controversy but someone there is hypersensitive so who the heck knows? All the coverage of this could mean that Clay = Idol still for a whole lot of people. Kanye who, exactly, merrieeee. Surprise. Stealing the show, our Clay. I agree with you that he's going to say it, whatever, always has, well I'll take that back, he did a pretty good job of keeping it under wraps while a contestant, but not since. Some people love it, some hate it, but that's Clay. What was that quote from camtheman, something about letting Clay off his leash? lol.

I'm excited. Wonder how many people will watch -- he has 57,000 followers.

I might go, if it is around long enough. I don't think I've seen any of the movies since the first one, but this one might be worth going to. So I guess I'd fall into the "kinda interested if I get around to it" category. I don't go to many movies at all though. Lots of holiday socializing for me this week, company coming tomorrow. I did see a Clay buddy today and watched some clack--a lovely diversion. OK - so while I'm posting, Ninna posted, and that makes me want to go. Who knows, will I go, or won't I? Y'all with bad weather, take care of yourselves and stay warm and safe!

Ho ho ho everybody!! I found this very good photoshop for the occasion:

Nobody sings Christmas like Clay sings Christmas.

Cool! TV and everything. Has anyone ever watched this before?

Pretty!!

I think the happenings back stage were not made into a media event by CNBC in the way that CNN did; also CNN has more star power to attract folks to come hang around.

Another beautiful new banner brought to you by ldyj!!

Owie owie - hope you've got some painkillers ninna! Honestly living in Iowa right now might be worse than teeth and nail pulling.

Another political thing--I read a good insight about Biden's running on The Daily Beast. Late one night there was a link to a Washington Post article on my news feed and the blurb below the link said Biden was about to announce that he was running, but when I clicked on it, a short line in the middle of the blank page said the article was "published inadvertently." Never saw that before!! Then there was a flurry of articles from the 24 hour news sites, whoever had an alert editor at that hour, about the Post goofing, and "why Biden was wise to wait a few more days." So, I'm guessing a lot went on that we'll not hear about, and it may have to do with that congressional committee that's been after Hilary and further blows to their credibility in the last few days...........but, anyway, this article was written during that period when, due to the Post's "leak," people were sure Biden was going to run. The article suggests that Biden can be the "go to guy" if he is needed just as easily as if he were officially running. And I think since he tends to make "gaffs" a lot, the less "running" the better in case he is needed. I don't agree the author about Sanders not being a viable candidate, but do I agree that the Dems think he couldn't win. We know Clay thinks he can't, but I think he should take heart from this. http://www.thedailyb...gets-worse.html
