Ground Control to Major Tom

5.....4.....3.....2.....1 ....Blast Off on June 1!!!

Kim, if you're still trying to listen to the songs at OFC ... I just went into IE to see if I'd have better luck logging in there, but no. Same damn thang. BUT, I did find out that I can't get the songs to play in IE8, so this could be a browser issue. I have no problem getting them to play with the Google Chrome browser.

Belated Birthday wishes to clayzy (You share a birthday with my son), and wishing a great big happy day to my friend 00lsee and to jumpingjacks!

How about a crazy banana for your birthday?

okay, well maybe you're not materialistic?

Have a beautiful birthday and if you don't get what you want, GO GET IT YOURSELF! It's your BIRTHDAY, know you!

[aikim]

Well, they opened 45 minutes ago and still no e-mail...yeah I am a bit impatient...leaving work in a bit and then grocery shopping...If nothing when I get home..I may try the phone number.

I use google chrome at home and could not play the music...didn't try I.E.

If I ever do get in I am going straight to the help forum and give them an earful of what I think of their customer support..this is ridiculous.

Do you have Comcast email? I do, and I've heard that could be a problem.

[ldyjocelyn]

I mentioned earlier that I was having trouble logging in from work. Just on an off chance, I entered my email address, and then left the password BLANK. Guess what? THAT WORKED! So for those of you having trouble logging in, try just entering your email with no password and see what happens.

If it works...you all owe me a drink. *g*

If it's doesn't...I'll buy you some chocolate!

[aikim]

Sigh...just got home...no e-mails...tried calling the number after seeing that many have had success with that and I get a frigging voice mail...I swear it is a conspiracy to keep out.

And if course with it being a holiday week-end, If I don't get this resolved today, I am shit out of luck until Tuesday.

If it was anyone else but Clay, I would just say screw it.

Kim

Nothing to see here.

Clay Aiken Is The Only Celebrity Who Doesn't Want To Guest Star on Glee

The former American Idol runner up has been hard at work on his fifth studio album, Tried and True (and dropping next week) as well as preparing for a summer tour with another Idol alum Ruben Studdard, plus you know he is also a relatively new dad, so it isn't surprising that he doesn't have a whole lot of time for television...but we still thought Glee would be right up his alley.

"I've never seen it," he told me when we chatted on the phone the other day. As I made a funny noise he added, "My television is typically tuned to CNN." But there is one show that Clay would like to appear on. "I want to be on The Closer real bad. I'm addicted to it."

The thing is, we know what Clay would do on Glee, unsure of how he would fit into the TNT drama, but we're willing to start lobbying Kyra Sedgwick on his behal

It didn't work...I like mine extra special dark. It wouldn't even leave it blank..the dots kept coming back.

I got in FINALLY, after calling 877-463-2875. I got a busy signal about 10 times but kept trying and then Steve answered the phone and I was shocked to be talking to someone. He had me set in less than a minute. Keep trying, Kim!

Now that I'm in, I can't figure out the forum very well. How do we add friends? I get that we can click on avi's and add them, but is there a list anywhere? And is there a way to see who is online at any given time? All in all, I really like it, but I need a tutorial!

[FearofH2O]

I got a welcome email finally and it wouldn't let me change the email until I entered the old one. Just didn't work. Now it's disappeared.

I'll try tonight as we have a friend coming over for dinner. I'm sure it will work out eventually. I'm zen about it.

[00lsee]

Sorry some of you are having trouble logging in. Like the new site's color scheme! Looking good there, Clay!

And I LOVE the look of your soon-to-be new house, merrieeee!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, y'all. Resident male celebrated the occasion with a new iPad. For himself. Still, got the best gift ever when my 16-year old wrote me a heartfelt letter. *sniff* And can y'all believe my eldest graduates from high school in a few days? Lordy.

keepingfaith, how ya doin'?

Lotus, thanks a lot for getting that song stuck in my head! LOL

[aikim]

Im in! I'm In! Thanks to the wonderful Steve...muah!

Now...how do you find members?

ETA: nevermind figured it out.

Kim

[liney23]

Thanks kf for the heads up! I was picking out the stuff for my second new house!

I think the site is great. I cannot wait to get my CA mouse pad.eeeeeee Who uses mouse pads anymore?

Yep you read it right ...my second new house! When the house we were having built was about half done we realized that neither of us liked it so we cancelled the deal and found another one in one day! It is closer to my work and my DD. I will have to stay in the apt for four more months but this now means moving will not interfere with my little clayscersions.

Whatcha think? Did I do good this time? This one is my step towards retirement home.

merrieeee... I love that house!!! The two separate garage doors are totally neat. Verra verra niiiice!!!

Good morning! I am in too great a mood to worry about getting into the fanclub. Its probably Timewarner's fault anyway. I've had trouble with them before. Even getting my email address deleted twice and accusing me of being a spammer. Eventually they will get to me or I'll get back to them.

After we closed on our little house Wednesday and getting the check into our hot little hands yesterday I feel good. Only one lawn to mow, I'm doing a little James Brown dance today. Well sort of. The culmination of over one year's work on it.

Fear... CONGRATS!!! on getting your check. You and MrFear did a lot of work and deserve it muchly!

At least, I hope it will be ... eventually. This morning my new Clay Aiken website woes continue. Either I am redirected and the page won't load or I login with the URL and the page won't load. The story is the same whether I'm on IE or Mozilla.

Meanwhile ...

belatedly to clayzy and on time to 00lsee and jumpingjacks!

Have a great day, all! I hope to join you ... SOON!

Caro

Caro... My old work computer completely freezes when I try to get the new OFC. I have't had a chance to try at home yet. Crossing fingers. We get the CD on Tues, so if I have to wait to hear the airplane takeoff, I'll survive. I think... LOL

00lsee... Happy Birthday!!! My oldest is 42 today... how did that happen??? She was very difficult as a teen and then again in her late 20s, but I got a couple of nice letters in between and it does make it all worth while.

Im in! I'm In! Thanks to the wonderful Steve...muah!

Now...how do you find members?

ETA: nevermind figured it out.

Kim

aikim... Whoo hoo! Finally! Don't they know you do our fantastic countdown every day??? Geesh! LOL

[aikim]

So I have posted at the new site, blogged, asked Clay to be my friend, given myself an avatar...I really like it...I think there are some things that could be better...the reply boxes could be bigger and I wish it was easier to find members, but so far, so good!

Kim

[jamar1700]

Huh. I didn't bother to try to get in with my old email and password. I just created a new account. I did it without thinking. I just figured new site, new sign up. It never occured to me that I should do any thing else until I tried to change my user name to jamar1700. And the site said there already WAS a user with that name.

Ruh roh

So yeah. The old account is jamar1700, but I don't think I can access it. The new name is just jamar. So if you try to friend me and I don't answer that may be why.

[Carolina Clay]

I still can't get into the website, but I wrote a short 'n sweet blog about it and provided the support info, as well as a link to an article that explains why some of us may have to wait up to 72 hours.

This snort 'n sweet blog had not registered on Google last time I checked, so your visits/comments/tweets will be most appreciated: New Clay Aiken Website Rolls Out.

I also included the latest promo video for T&T. If the "caboose" means 72 hours, I wonder which will come first -- the CD or the website?!?!?!?

Caro... My old work computer completely freezes when I try to get the new OFC. I haven't had a chance to try at home yet. Crossing fingers. We get the CD on Tues, so if I have to wait to hear the airplane takeoff, I'll survive. I think... LOL

Me, too, liney. Writing about it helped a little.

Have a great evening, all!

Team Clay just tweeted and said everyone should check their e-mail for a message and link how to get in if your password doesn't work...I guess they did a mass mailing...guess what...I didn't get it. Must be something with my e-mail. I have a yahoo account through AT&T.

I too had "issues" last night...

Of course, compounding them was the fact that we had just gotten our computer back from a friend who was resolving a trojan issue that we had... We had to load the operating system and other stuff back on and JavaScript was one of those things. When I first got the website to come up (took a couple tries), it kept telling me that I needed JavaScript - there was no movie, no songs. So I muddled around until I figured out where to get what I needed and got it downloaded. Geez. But once I got that resolved, I could at least see the commercial and hear the songs! I liked them very, very much...

Then, when I tried to log in, I got what everyone else was getting with it not accepting my password. I must have done the retrieve password tango four times and never got an e-mail. I said the hell with it and didn't think about it until today. I had more important things to do, like going to the Casino to grab some Milwaukee tickets! Got good seats so I'm happy!

When I got home this afternoon and checked my e-mail, I found the e-mail that must be the mass one... I have Yahoo via AT&T also so maybe it's coming to you yet? But it worked like a champ. Updated my password right away and logged out and it let me back in so I guess it's all good now. Maybe later I'll figure out all the rest of the stuff.. I'm tired - all the excitement between the new fan club and getting tickets done worn me out...

[aikim]

Just thought I would mention...I am Ozfan4 at the OFC...just look for Golinda The Good Witch Avatar...that is me (I know after all my complaining today,it probably should have been The Wicked Witch, LOL!)

ETA: No e-mail...really wonder if it is something with my e-mail.

Kim

[aikim]

This is the e-mail that was sent out if anyone is still having issues:

[FearofH2O]

That email did it for me. All the tidbits from the various boards did it for me as far as an avatar. I should change my screen name but right now it is LL3322.

[aikim]

Glad the e-mail helped Fear!

Clay Aiken Is The Only Celebrity Who Doesn't Want To Guest Star on Glee

The former American Idol runner up has been hard at work on his fifth studio album, Tried and True (and dropping next week) as well as preparing for a summer tour with another Idol alum Ruben Studdard, plus you know he is also a relatively new dad, so it isn't surprising that he doesn't have a whole lot of time for television...but we still thought Glee would be right up his alley.

"I've never seen it," he told me when we chatted on the phone the other day. As I made a funny noise he added, "My television is typically tuned to CNN." But there is one show that Clay would like to appear on. "I want to be on The Closer real bad. I'm addicted to it."

The thing is, we know what Clay would do on Glee, unsure of how he would fit into the TNT drama, but we're willing to start lobbying Kyra Sedgwick on his behalf.

Tonic.com article with Clay content

Clay doesn't exactly say he rejects being on Glee, but this implies that he was asked about his interest, and his reply was "I've never seen it" rather than "I'd love to." Doubtless he's heard of it, and is aware that the soundtracks are big sellers, but my take on this is that I suspect Clay doesn't watch Fox period, Fox News or Fox Entertainment. I think he "just says no" to Rupert Murdoch. (But I honestly can't say I think CNN is more than a marginal improvement over Murdoch/Ailes). Can't say I'm a fan of Glee. I tried it once, and decided that I have better things to do for that hour than watch a high school musical. In fact, the ONLY comedy I watch on TV now is Modern Family.

Happy Saturday!! And to los Americanos --happy 3 day weekend.

I finally got an email from the fan club so will go check out the new digs. What's the deal on the membership? Jamar I had to do the same thing last year. I think my account was attached to an old email address and AI had so much problems that I just signed up again.

This has been a dreary spring for California. The sun looks like it will peak out today. Hopefully it's a turn for the better.

Thanks aikim for your countdown calendar. I've never seen Joy's show. Those View women annoy me. GMA won't be the same with Diane. I always got a kick out of her around Clay.
