ClayManiacs

SESSION 120 OH MY GOODNESS, OH MY GOODNESS, OH MY GOODNESS!!!

Here is how we started:

Welcome, everyone to the very first meeting of the "OCD Support Group". (Obsessive Clay Disorder)

I am shy, so I walk slowly into the room and find a seat in the back. The meeting begins and there is a room full of claymaniacs. It is very quiet. I raise my hand very slowly. Pamela notices and asks, " Do you have something to share?" My knees are shaking, but I am able to finally get the words out.
"Hi. My name is Woodstock. And I suffer from OCD." The room erupts with applause. I hear so many things around me..."Welcome, Woodstock, what a great step to admit that!" "I do, too..." "We're all with you..." And I knew immediately that I have come to the right place.

We all talk about it, and joke about it, but this can be a serious subject,too. I love Clay, but quite honestly, I have worried about why I spend SO much time listening to him, downloading everything..talking about him on-line , taping EVERY TV show . And more than anything, simply thinking about him night and day. He enters my thoughts in the middle of just about everything! What is going on???
I am a 50-year-old (yikes) wife and mother of three children aged 18, 21 and 23. I have a career and am involved in many things. Then somehow, Clay has entered the picture and I fear he has taken over more of my life than I care to admit.

I realized awhile back that I suffered from OCD. But it was hard to admit to anyone. My 18-year-old son kept telling me that I was obsessed, and after awhile, I began to think he was right. And I spent night and day wondering what was wrong with me. Why are my thoughts going to Clay in the middle of a a school lesson or a church sermon? Why can't I wait to get home and turn on a Clay CD or check out claymaniacs.com to get new info on Clay? If Clay was going to be on a TV station that I didn't get, I HAD to find someone to tape it for me. I was beginning to think I was losing my mind. REALLY!!!

Then I found claymaniacs. It has been wonderful for me to talk to you. The more I got to know you guys, the more I was able to let it all hang out. And what did I learn? I'm NOT the only one. There is something about this guy that grabs you and wraps around your heart, and you're hooked. You are NOT going crazy, I have come to learn after talking to so many of you. I get pms and e-mails from people after I have posted something I couldn't admit anywhere else, and I realize I'm not alone! And it has been a great comfort to me. It took a little while, but I now know that I'm OK. And I feel much better. Now, I am enjoying Clay SO MUCH MORE, because I am not worrying about myself.

Let me make this perfectly clear: I am not over my OCD! I still think about Clay all the time (24/7?) and listen to him sing(OMG) constantly, and download, and chat about him. But I no longer worry that there is something wrong with me. I know I am not alone. There is something so very special about this man. He is the whole package. Because I was able to feel better after admitting things to you guys here, I decided that this is a thread that is needed here. Here is your place to vent. Admit your feelings, or confess something that you have thought or done. It is our hope that by doing that, you will find out that it's OK and you will stop worrying about yourself, and now be able to enjoy Clay even more. I hope this is a place everyone can come back to as needed.

Rules, rules, rules.... Everyone must promise to be kind, respectful, non-judgemental, and supportive. (Easy for claymaniacs.) Again, this is your place to get something off your chest, or just admit your OCD and accept it. So, let the discussions begin!
Just for fun, if you join in the conversation, you then become an official charter member of the OCD Support Group, and can add that to your signature if you wish. I look forward to each and every one of your posts.
Woodstock
P.S. Please feel free to pm me.

That was the beginning of Session 1.

And now on to Session 120.  WHO WOULD EVER HAVE THOUGHT??? We are moving along. I am SO happy so many of you have stayed around for the long haul, and welcome each and every new friend here. I say WOW!!!!! Good times with good friends. That is what this is all about.

I am no longer including a detailed description of our Therapy Center (just pretend, for those of you that are new.) I will just say that we meet in a Cyber Cottage on a Street With No Name. We have to continue the THUD room, as it is such an important part of our therapy. So please feel free to frequent it as needed. For more details, please read a past thread.(Located in the Archives.) And Pepe did ask for a Cybermaid to come in once a month. These girls have always been high maintenance, but worth it.

As for the rules, these are to keep the place somewhere we all are proud to come to:
I will repeat the rules, because we now have 6!!! At the request of Bocaqueen, we have added #6:
YOU MUST BE: 1. kind 2. respectful 3. non-judgmental 4. supportive
AND 5. YOU MUST NEVER SAY THE "s" word. (sorry). No need to apologize for thoughts and feelings. 6. No dieting when at OCD meetings. Period.

And I am going to take it upon myself to add a suggestion (one that many people make to me), but not make it a rule. It is your choice as your time allows. But I am going to say that if you don't have time PLEASE DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO KETCHUP !!! Jump in and say hi, tell us what is up in your Clay world, and have good conversation. Yes, you may miss someone's post, but we never want being here to be so time-consuming that it causes frustration, family problems, or a cause to drive you away. We never want ANYONE to feel they need to address each person. It is simply impossible and no one expects it anymore. If some people choose to do that, it is their choice, but simply not expected. We have grown so big, and happily so!!! So, let's just jump in, read one page behind, and enjoy the conversation. Not a rule!!!! Just something that has been suggested to me many times...

And our OCD pact: No hard feelings if someone doesn't mention you in their post. We are getting far too big for that to ever be a reality again, but we are blessed by many new friends. We are a happy group here. And we intend to keep it that way.

Every now and then someone pms with me a concern, idea, or observation. I appreciate and take to heart each and every pm. I feel we are all equal in this thread, equal partners, but because I started this thread some people come to me, and I am happy to help if I can. Recently, someone came to me asking me to remind everyone that we are a PG thread, we are "family friendly", as Clay would see it, and we do welcome in friends of all ages. If the spirit moves you, and you feel your comments may not be within PG, claymaniacs does have threads for this.  There is the Black Leather Pants thread and the Motor City Red Thong Mafia thread in Current Community Central, and the Adult Playground forum in Communities. Thank you for understanding this. I do not think we have crossed the line, in my opinion, but it does not hurt to bring this subject up as one of concern to some OCDers.

This has come up again. People want to have fun here, and we do, don't we??? Let it continue, but we welcome friends of all ages, so let us keep it PG.

So, WELCOME one and all to Session 120 of the OCD Support Group. I hope you are comfortable in our home away from home. Please feel free to join in and be a part of a warm and caring group.

 Thanks for hanging around so much that we had to start Session 120.  May the session begin!!!

Love you guys,
Woodstock :bouncy X120

We’ve grown to be so big…one big, happy, caring family. Woodstock had asked for a description of our OCD Meetings—but with this thread, thoughts from our members:

WANT TO TELL YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART HOW SPECIAL CLAYMANIACS IS TO ME, BUT MOST ESPECIALLY OUR FAMILY HERE ON THE OCD   .  I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT THE OCD IS LIKE A VERY BIG ROUND TABLE  THAT WE ALL ARE  SITTING AT  ; LAUGHING, SHARING OUR RL STORIES OF HAPPY & SAD, SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER THRU  TOUGH TIMES AND BOTTOM LINE JUST BEING A FAMILY OF CARING FOR EACH OTHER.
I HAVE MET SO MANY OF YOU & SHARED SO MANY HAPPY & WONDERFUL TIMES TOGETHER--I ONLY WISH THAT I COULD MEET YOU ALL.
Angela
*****************

Here is a toast to all of you that we may be here for 100 more sessions.  We stick together thru sickness, trouble, happiness and we are always here to pick each other up and put a smile on your face.  I talk to more of my OCD family than I do my own blood relatives.  You are so important to me and are a main part of my life.  I have never received so many cards or gifts before and every day is exciting to see what you are all doing and who needs comforting and who needs feeding.  My heart is full of love for each of you !       

Pepe

***********************
     
Happy 100 Everyone!

Sometimes when I think about coming to Claymaniacs and finding the OCD, it's hard for me to believe that it's been over 2 years since I first started coming here.  Like many of you, I was one of those people who wasn't sure about the feelings I had about how much I enjoyed Clay's music and how I wanted to know so much about him and how I couldn't wait to see him on another show.  I felt like it was an "obsession" and that word doesn't normally have a good connotation.  When I found the OCD and realized that there were many other people with the same "condition" I was so relieved.  I felt welcome here from the very beginning.  I lurked for awhile and then I started PMing with Clandy as we were getting ready for the big North Carolina concert weekend and she convinced me to start posting more.  What a great decision that was!

I have been lucky enough to meet most of the people that post at the OCD.  I have made many, many friends here and was lucky enough to meet one of my best friends here.  It may have been Clay that initially brought us together, but that's not why we stay.  We stay for each other. 

Here's to 100 more sessions!!

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT ME- TIMID, SHY, RETIRING- WOULD TRAVEL SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES TO SLEEP WITH TWO STRANGE WOMEN (I MEAN THAT RESPECTFULLY, LINDA AND LORRAINE)

WOMEN WHO BECOME VERY CLOSE FRIENDS- WHO WELCOMED ME WITH OPEN ARMS, WHO LISTENED TO MY MOANS AND GROANS WHEN I WAS DOWN, WHO SUPPORTED ME WHEN I NEEDED IT

AND I FOUND, STRANGELY ENOUGH, THAT THE MORE I POSTED ON THIS BOARD, THE MORE PEOPLE I FOUND THAT WERE JUST THE SAME.
THESE ARE NOT JUST FRIENDS, THEY ARE FAMILY- WE BELONG TO EACH OTHER, THROUGH THICK AND THIN.

AND MY LOVE AND OBSESSION FOR CLAY AIKEN HAS NOT DIMINISHED IN THIS TIME, BUT GROWN STRONGER- AS EACH LAYER OF THE WONDERFUL MAN HE IS BECOMES CLEAR.
NO, HE IS NOT PERFECT, YES, HE MAKES MISTAKES- BUT HE HAS MY HEART FOR AS LONG AS HE WANTS IT.

"The Starfish Story"

A little girl was walking along a beach that was covered with thousands of starfish left dying in the sun by the receding tide.  Seeking to help, she picked up a starfish and tossed it back into the ocean.

A man, amused by her action, said to her "Little girl, there are too many starfish.  You will never make a difference."  Discouraged, she began to walk away.  Suddenly, she turned around, picked up another starfish, and tossed it as far as she could back into the sea.  Turning to the man, she smiled and said, "I made a difference to that one!"

The man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had said and done.  Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing the starfish back into the sea.  Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved.

Somedays this site can be hard when we come for fun but real life seems to get in the way.  But I truly believe that one of us whether it be a hug, a post, or a little positive comment that we don't make a difference in someones life here.....Lorraine


This is what the OCD is all about....caring, kindness and sharing Clay in our lives.   Thank you Woody for beginning this thread and thank you to everyone else that weaves the thread to complete the masterpiece I call friendship..XOXOXO  HER
   

PRAYER LIST

Welcome to The OCD's/Claymaniac's Prayer List. Many of our OCD/Claymaniac members have expressed a desire to share our Love, Care and Concern for each other through the Love and Faith we share in Our Lord. This has resulted in starting a Prayer List that includes the names of our members that have requested to be prayed for and therefore, reflects the needs or petitions of/for the individual.

We will divide this list into three areas for prayers.  The first will be for a general/daily prayer, next is for Urgent/"SOS's" to God as emergencies arise, and last is for circumstances that we are aware of or that the individual has they, themselves requested.

We are doing this away from the main pages as not to offend anyone who is not of likemindedness. We ask that as we respect your decision not to join us in Prayer, that you accept our need, as believers, to minister to each other in this fashion.

We do, however, invite you to read our list, and if you would like to, just take the time to think good thoughts and well wishes for those who are suffering or in need.

I hope you all bear with me in overseeing this list. If you find I have not included someone., it is either because they requested not to be included or that I am not sure where you stand on this issue. If you would like to be added to the list, please PM me with your request. If I have added you in error, my apologies and please notify me thru PM asap.

Everyone who has requested to be part of this group will be listed daily. If there is nothing beside your name, it is either I am not sure if something that you told me was announced publicly or privately to me and therefore for privacy issues, I would not take the chance to include it. Know that if it is not there and I am aware of it, as any of you may know things about one another that we ALL are not privy to....please remember to include those in your private prayers. ------------------------------------------------------------
Let us begin:

LORD,
WE GATHER HERE TOGETHER TO GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE FOR ALL YOUR WONDROUS GIFTS. WE ASK THAT YOU LOOK UPON US WITH MERCY AND GRANT US FORGIVENESS. MAY WE LIVE EACH DAY REMEMBERING THAT WE ARE YOUR CHILDREN AND ARE TO CARRY OUT YOUR WILL. PLEASE PROTECT US FROM ALL EVIL AND GIVE US THE DIRECTION TO FULFILL OUR SOJOURN HERE. WE ASK NOT ONLY FOR OURSELVES, BUT FOR ONE ANOTHER........AMEN


DAILY PRAYER'S:

CLAY AIKEN The Catalyst who has brought us all together:

FATHER, WE ASK FOR YOUR PROTECTION, AND THAT YOU MAY GRANT US HEALTH, COURAGE, COMFORT, HAPPINESS, STRENGTH, PEACE, AND HOPE.  MAY YOU FILL US WITH LOVE, KINDNESS AND KNOWLEDGE, SO WE MAY SPREAD YOUR WORD AND DO YOUR WILL...AMEN   

URGENT:


CLAY AIKEN: Most merciful Father...our prayers are for Your obedient steward, Clay.  Lord, Clay does Your work utilizing his beautiful voice for Your praise and glory and the benefit of children and all people..we ask that you guide him to where he can best share Your love and aid those without a voice.  Thank you for this young messenger you've sent to us who exemplifies doing Your will and sharing Your word.  We pray for Clay's protection...please keep him safe on whatever path he may be at the moment.  Keep Clay strong for the journey ahead.  Let his good deeds shine forth and forever change the lives of the less fortunate who have been victims of horrendous hardship.

Father, Clay is going through difficult and personal issues....meanspirited people are constantly attacking this wonderful young man.  We ask that You give him the strength to get through these vicious attacks and let him continue getting through these hurtful times with grace, dignity and a continued faith that You are always by his side carrying him through.
Also, we ask that You watch over Clay's brother, Brett, who is serving in the military. Please, keep their Mother, Faye Parker strong, in the midst of such worry for both of her beloved sons. Father, grant us, these, our urgent requests.



Alli_Aiken/Alli: Father of Mercy, we come to You over and over, always asking something of You.  In Your Love and Mercy, You listened to the prayers of Your faithful.  Our young, sweet friend Alli had been diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease but is now, thankfully in remission.  We knew that medically, this is one of the most curable of Cancers.  However, we had knowledge beyond that of the medical type...we had knowledge of You....the Master Physician and Healer.  We knew that You would be carrying Alli through every step of her healing.  We ask You continue to lay Your healing hands upon this wonderful young lady. Thank You O Merciful Lord.

Wordsmith1223/Lynn: Father, orchestrator of all things, we came to You in prayer and implored You to lay Your healing hands on Charlie and restore him to perfect health. You heard us and have taken the Life-Threatening threat away from this young man.  The news looks positive, however Charlie is suffering with eye issues and he will need a Cornea Replacement in the aftermath of his illness.  We ask that there will be no permanent damage, and we are confident knowing You will heal him.   Father, You are the Master Physician and we place all faith in You and thanking You always for allowing us to come to You with these our prayers.

ILOVETOWRITE /SHANNON HAS SENT US THESE LOVELY QUOTES:

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24-25).


"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23).
-----------------------------------------------------

.......and from me,


Give me eyes Lord, to see hidden tears,
Help me to comfort those filled with fears.
Give me ears, Lord, to hear the plea
Of those who depend and rely on me.
Give me strength Lord, for those, weaker than I,
To share their burdens and not ask, "WHY?"
Give me courage,Lord, to forget pain from the past,
To know in Your arms, I can find peace at last.
Give me wisdom, Lord, to plant the seeds,
In those who question what this world really needs.
Give me Your grace, Lord, for it's only through You
I can find the insight to know what to do.
Give me hope, Lord, when new challenges begin,
Through a joyful life, that comes from within.
Most of all, Lord, as You taught from the start,
Just give me a kind and loving heart.

Shirley Wlodarczyk

------------------------------------------------------------------

Lord, You are kind and
forgiving, most loving to
all who call on You.

Psalm 86.

May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord
be glad in these works!

WELCOME TO SESSION 120!!! :ghug

May Session 120 be filled with friendship, sharing, and fun!!!! May this always remain a place to share our Claylove, and sometimes obsession.   :wink  May the path to our cottage remain a smooth one.  May past disagreements fade away and new memories and friendships be made. This is my wish for this, and for every session of the OCD Support Group.

I wanted to make sure the new session was up and running for the morning crew.   :bigsmile

I have to get to bed as I work in the morning.  I will get caught up and read my pms tomorrow.

Clandy posted this in Session 119 and I wanted to bring it over to make sure everyone saw it.


That is SO cool, Clandy!!!   :clap :clap :clap
Woodstock :bouncy X120

 Woodstock: :wave I think Jerry is locked up in the other cottage...you didn't see him prowling around anywhere over there did you? I am glad i got my post written, previewed, edited, and posted before the doors were locked and bolted tight.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/ACcountryFan/clayaiken26/ahh_clay.jpg)

AC -  :wave  That's why I always give a little warning, so someone doesn't lose a post.  I also think it's a little safer in the middle of the night because MOST people are sleeping.   :wink  If I see Jerry I'll tell him you are looking for him.
Woodstock :bouncy X120

 Woodstock: :wave This is Jerry...i made it out of the 119th cottage but not without a series of incidents along the way. This black eye i have is a result from the ensuing events from a few minutes ago. I was strolling along the halls of the cottage minding my own business as i'm wide awake and ready to tackle a grizzly when the lights went out. Now this being a cottage, when the hall lights go out, it's pitch black. So you'd think i would have the hall-way memorized by now but i don't. I was walking along thinking of how great it would be if i could whistle...thinking how walking and whistling to one's self go hand in hand. Well, as i was walking and thinking about whistling, the lights go out. It gets spooky scary. I hear crickets...i hear frog's croaking...i feel my heart pounding out of my chest. ~thump, thump, thump...thump! thump! thump!!~

I freeze where i stand and make my way forward thinking i know what i'm doing.

After about 4 tiny steps i stop...i hear heavy breathing. No...it isn't what you or i are thinking. I hear heavy breathing and realize it's my own breath...panting like a dog whose just ran for 3 minutes on a treadmill. Well, i continue walking and i run into something. It hits my eye...upon later examination after i make it to the light i see the eye is black. I got on my knees and crawled on the floor...i came across the trap door near the edge of the light socket. I knew it was around somewhere. I lifted the door in the darkness and made my way downstairs to the familiar wine cellar/brain buzzing beverage combo and stripper bar provided as a courtesy by Lorraine, Tammy, and Linda. Their slogan is "Give us a wink and see us drink! Yay!!!" :clap :clap

There was some light down there...i stood up and walked near the French section of the cellar. Uh, yeah...Lorraine was certainly being french down there. There was a poster of her down there. She was holding a bottle that said French le Femme Dirty 1607. I noticed my eye being black once i left the wine cellar and exited the 119th cottage via Tammy's emergency exit in the OCD shoe closet. 

So, Woodstock, rest easy! Have no worries about my being locked up in the 119th cottage! I will soon meet up with AC and slap him in the face just because of my ordeal i went through and he's sitting back watching You Tube videos, the nut-case!!

AC -  :lmao :lmao :lmao

I knew we had a wine celler, but I didn't know there was a strip bar or a shoe closet.   :no  You learn something new every day!!!   :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy :lol :wink
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Goodnight AC and Jerry!!!   :lol

I'm going to try to get back to sleep.   :tobed

Wouldn't mind a little of this, either.   :claydream   :wink
Woodstock :bouncy X120

 Woodstock: Oh...well...as you said, you learn something new everyday! I didn't even know about the strip bar until tonight...do you think that's why Lorraine gets so tired sooner because she spends most of the time down there in the cellar showing off a bit more than what all of us bargained for? Maybe she does? :dunno As you said, we learn something new everyday. In a tipsy moment, Lorraine was quoted as saying:

"Hell, it's what every woman wants...so, yes, i think it's absolutely 100% accurate and it's accurate 100%, absolutely ~hiccup~ Now, go away...i don't feel too good..."

She had been asked if she felt Kohl's needs a side-line selling adult toys and that was the response she gave the reporters.

About the shoe closet...that's something Tammy had built down in the wine cellar. Each successive cottage ironically looks identical to the one you evict us from, isn't that something? Well, Tammy has this closet filled to almost capacity with walking shoes. Well, you have to pull out a few specific shoes to find the emergency exit. The combination to Tammy's emergency exit is a complicated process. You have to pull out a few name brand shoes, in certain order, in order for the exit to appear. If you don't do this right, you will not be able to make it to her emergency exit and all you will have is just a pile of walking shoes staring you in the face. I took the liberty of copying down the shoe combination when i was peeping through Lorraine's diary so only Tammy, Lorraine, and myself know how to get out of the OCD once you lock it's doors if one of us happen to be in the cottage during the night :yes

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!! :ghug

 :wave happy hubby, Tammy, Jayne, ANGELA, Lorraine, Lindsay, late night Frankie, Tiffany, Kat, and AC, and all the rest of the gang stopping by.

I had a GREAT day with my family.  Was wonderful seeing my mom, my sister and her family, my sister's MIL, and OF COURSE, young son.  We carried out from a favorite BBQ restaurant and it was declicious.  NOT on the diet.   :no  And we just talked and visited.  My sister has a lovely yard with a nice patio, a small pond that they built, and many flowers.  We sat outside most of the day and I enjoyed it very much.

I cried when it was time to leave, of course, because it will be another month til I see young son again, but then he will be on vacation with us for a week, but then RIGHT back to school the next day.  I guess I will take what I can get and get in the habit of going to see him more often at school.

I DID sleep in the car all the way home, and then a bit more when I got home since I was still tired, then I woke up feeling a bit sick to my stomach (the food must have gotten to me) so I got up to look for something to take and that's when I started the new session.  The Alka Seltzer did the trick and I slept very well the rest of the night.

Today's work is only a Brunch instead of a Breakfast and Lunch, so I don't have to be their til 8 am and it will only be a helf day.

 :woohoo :woohoo :woohoo  for Lindsay, ANGELA, Lorraine and all of you that have short work weeks.  I don't work again til next Sunday.   :bouncy

happy - I actually got about 4 hours sleep before starting the new session, and about 3 more after going back to bed, even though it appeared I was up most of the night.   :lol  Thanks for always worrying for me.   :hugg

Frankie - Great job on bring us all that news.   :clap

Tiffany - Thanks for the summary.   :hugg  I never did answer your question about our anniversary gifts.  Hubby brought me flowers and we exchanged cards, but we splurged and bought a sleep number bed.  I told him at our age, we deserve it and maybe it would help us both sleep better.  We just got it and haven't put it up yet.  We have to figure out what we are going to do with our old set.   We think we might put it in young son's room, and get rid of his, since our mattress is bigger.

AC - You really have the imagination....you know that???  I enjoyed reading about the intricacies of our cottage.  Good to know!!!  :lol  And when I evict you, at least I give you a new home.   :wink  I hope you get some rest today.

happy - I got much more sleep than it appears.  I slept in the car and then some more before waking up and getting on the computer.

Lorraine - I can't believe it's Session 120 either.  It seems like it has flown by.  But I'm glad we still have a nice place to come and visit. I hope it won't be much of a BLUE MONDAY since it is a short work week.  :hugg

Tammy - AC told me all about the shoe closet in the cottage.  You better go check that out.  :bigsmile  I guess you must need a lot of pairs since it seems you are walking farther and farther these days.

Charlene - Have a great day with your son.   :hugg

I had hoped to get caught up from the last session this morning, but I slept in a little longer than I thought, but it felt good.  So I've got to get ready for work.  I will catch up this afternoon.   :bigsmile
Love ya,
Woodstock :bouncy X120

 :wave Glory, Tammy and Meesa!!!

Glory - Hope your work day goes well.   :hugg

Tammy - I need to weed around my tomato plants and I may do it this afternoon, depending on the temperature.  If not, it will have to wait til tomorrow morning.

Meesa - Good luck with that M&G.   :cross

I must get going....

We may be going TV shopping tonight to replace the one that died the other day.   :bang
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Good Morning!

Just a quick hello.  The quartet is coming to my house to practice this morning, then I will serve lunch at about noon.  My usual Mexican food:  chicken enchiladas, Mexican rice and beans, and.......drum roll, please, the orange mandarin salad!! (What a surprise!!)  I did make a chocolate bundt cake that looks like a big chocolate donut.  I'll have to take a picture of it for Jan.

Maybe we will hear about Meet and Greets for Frisco and Houston today! :cross

I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Hugs,
 Prissy

Just a quick hello since I am not keeping up lately.

The sun is out and it is another gorgeous day in CT.

Prissy, I wish I were there having lunch with you and the quartet today.  I want to have some fun!

Meesa and Marilyn, is this the week you start heading out for the concert?

Woody, it's so nice to have our children come home.  My daughter calls me every day, but my son is in MA and he isn't a big time caller.   I usualy end up calling me; although, I did get an email yesterday.   He isn't in his twenties anymore, so I really can't baby him.  I want to though!!! :wink

Tammy, you sound really good.  You must be in such a great frame of mind not working this summer.  How come you are talking about food all of the time?   :lol I went for a drive??

Lorraine, you girls must be getting so excited about tomorrow night.  You will have a blast seeing DWTS.  Don't forget to yell out to Apollo.   Try to act like a lady now. :lol

Happy, thank you for the juice.  It's always the bestest!

Tiffany, love your summaries!

Have a good morning everyone!

Ok, well, I am off to the doctor's this afternoon.   My cough is much worse and I haven't slept in two nights.  That Walk-in clinic must have make believe doctors or something because what he gave me sure didn't help!!!!   :bang  Maybe I need to be donated to science for this one.   :lol

Lorraine
I hope you will be wearing clothes. :eek  We dont need any more attention.  Your flirting gets us all the attention we need.. :naughty

 Tammy: :wave :bigsmile I see that you like the comedy i try to inject around here given your references to it in your posts this morning. I did have the desire to venture out to Wal*Mart this morning but i don't feel like it anymore so i'm going to just go back to bed.

Hello Janet, Lolita, Lorraine, GLORY, when you stop by!!

Charlene: I made a quick reply to you on the review thread and George and Merle. It's 65 at the moment which is wonderful! It sure is better than it being 77 or 80 at this time like it's been the last several mornings. All the rain we got also played a role, too. It rained for 2 days straight.

OH I SO DON'T WANT TO WORK. 

LINDA - I TELL YOU THIS ER DOCTORS DON'T KNOW THEIR  :censor FROM THEIR  :censor
WHAT ME A LADY.  ALWAYS.  BUT SOMETIMES I JUST SEEM TO LOSE IT WHEN I SEE HOT GUYS LIKE APOLLO, CLAY, CRISS ANGEL AND JON BON JOVI.  THEY JUST TURN ME INTO SOMETHING I AM REALLY NOT.  FEEL BETTER AND I WILL TRY AND CALL YOU IN A BIT.

TAMMYKINS - REMEMBER WE WILL BE CIRCULATING TOMORROW NIGHT SO WEAR A GOOD PAIR OF SHOES.  I TOLD LINDA SHE SHOULD GO FOR A NICE RIDE BUT WHETHER SHE DID OR NOT I DOUBT IT.  WHEN DOES SHE EVER LISTEN TO ME.

JERRY - I DON'T HAVE A WINE CELLAR. :slick

                                              WELL I AM OFF TTYL. HOPE I HAVE A SHORT DAY I AM STILL POOPED FROM SUNDAY. LOVE YOU ALL.

 Lorraine: What is it about circulation lately? I've noticed you've used that word a lot to Tammy...i don't understand what it means. It's like the word has a double meaning since you say it so profoundly...even once posting it like this: C I R C U L A T E. What's it all about? You've never used that word before until now and it's never been featured so prominently in your posts until now, either. Spill the beans :yes

Another thing, Lorraine...don't blame guys for your uncontrollable lusts. You have that lust for all young men...well, with the except of the Bon Jovi guy...oh sure, they're the ones who bring all of that out. The truth is it's always been there...you just find victims for it :yes

Prissy: :bigsmile Drumroll please...you had mandarin orange salad again?? I'm sitting here with a dry mouth and a growling stomach. I think i'll go to the post office but i don't want to leave the house...i have nothing i'm expecting in the post office. The last thing i need is a fistful of bills. I am hungry...maybe a cheap breakfast somewhere will do the trick.

Lorraine
That list gets longer and longer.. :lmao :roflmao :lol :lol  I called up the electric company and the lady told me I had to call an electrician to find out why im using so much energy.. :bang  Doesnt she know that will cost me more money???????????????? :bduh :bang :arg  I'm off to make more stupid phone calls. :crazy  Let me know what the mortgage company says about your taxes..

I have a feeling Lorraine will be the one walking faster then me tomorrow.. Its going to take all the energy I can muster up to keep up with her in her search for Apollo.. :lol :lol :lol

 Tammy: :bigsmile I was editing something in to Lorraine about that remark she made to Linda about young men. The reason your electric bill is high i would assume it's because you live in a seaport...and maybe everyone's bill's have been raised. I don't pay the electric bill here. I pay some and co-pay others.

YEA RIGHT.  TRUST ME WHEN I GET YOU THERE YOU WILL BE RUNNING RIGHT ALONG WITH ME JUST LIKE YOU DO WHEN WE GO AND SEE CLAY. :lol :lol :lol  I WILL LEAD AND YOU WILL FOLLOW, EXCEPT FOR ONE TIME YOU TOOK THE LEAD, REMEMEBER :slick

JERRY - NOW ARE YOU EXPECTING ME TO SAY YOU ARE RIGHT AGAIN. :lol :lol :lol  AS FAR AS THAT NEW WORD "CIRCULATION" IT IS A TERMINOLOGY THAT THE OLD FOLKS USE. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol  AS FAR AS MY UNCONTROLLABLE LUSTS, APPARENTLY I HAVE HAD THEM IN CONTROL LATELY AT LEAST, WELL FOR THE LAST 16 YEARS AS I AM STILL A BAV AND NO ONE HAS ENDED MY REIGN, YET. :lol :lol :lol :lol  C I R C U L A T E - MOVE OR CAUSE TO MOVE IN A CIRCLE (TRUST ME I WON'T BE MOVING IN A CIRCLE) OR FROM PLACE TO PLACE OR PERSON TO PERSON.  NOW THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.  PERSON TO PERSON.  FROM CLAY TO APOLLO TO CRISS ANGEL TO JON BON JOVI AND BACK AGAIN. :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud

HELL I GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK.

HUGS
RAINEY

Good Morning!

Lewis has been adding pictures to our web site, and this is the first chance I've had to get on - going back to see what everybody has been talking about. HAPPY MONDAY!!!!! I'm not going to say it is Blue, because Our Honey comes back to us this week!  :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

Caught Up!

Jayne -  :hugg I think about you every day - still think that perfrect job is out there!

Happy - Lewis does fish in the pind, just for fun - we do not eat fish we know personally   :lol - he throws them back! The ducks have to stay caged for another 3 weeks.

Tammy - thanks for clairifying what Cd Jan wants - I speed read and miss a lot! Lewis walked his usual 5 miles this morning, but let me sleep since I was up late/early. Have your electric rates gone up? I keep reading about high bills up there - our house is all electirc, and our bills are about $100 per month in the winter and around $175 per month in the summer - we never turn our air conditioner or ceiling fans off - we just couldn't. Our house is heavily insulated, and we do have double windows and glass doors over the regular doors.

Meesa, Marilyn, and everyone else traveling to Clay this week (especially if you have to be in an airport!) Have a great trip, and stay safe  :ghug

Glory - have a good day at work.

Lindsay, ANGELA, Lorraine, and everyone working a short week - enjoy your time off - the summer is just slipping away.

Woody - sounds like a perfect Sunday - we had such a good weekend - just staying home.

Prissy - surely the meet and greets for Texas will be sent out today - especially for Frisco!  :purpbana

Linda - whatever you have must be  resistant to the antibiotic you are taking - hope they give you something today that will help!

AC - great pictures this morning!

I'm off to check a copuple of other threads - see 'ya later!

 Lorraine: I do want you to know that this is a DWTS performance and it won't contain the same free-for-all atmosphere of a Clay concert. Some friendly advice: I don't want you and Tammy to be moving from person to person...you don't know any of those people so just keep to yourself, watch the show, then you both go home afterwards after catching a bite at McDonald's or White Castle. I will be surprised if there will be scalpers there selling better seats. :lol :lol I think everyone has been spoiled by the fun of a Clay concert...i think by comparison, a dancing event will have a more sedate crowd but one never knows.  Upon further reading i see in your mind circulate means going from one man to another...i hope you have good breath control.

Hello Frankie :wave

I HAVE RETURNED; 1985 MCA Records; GOLD album...over half a million copies sold. Hit #1 on the country album chart in early 1986.

CT loves Clay, I"m sorry to hear about your cough and pleased you are going to the doctors. Make sure they check you out good because I had a cough like that last month and they finally found out I had  walking pnuemonia and I"m still taking antibiotics for it. Hope you soon feel better.  Hugs, Betty/Corbet

 :wave MORNING ALL


THUNDER WOKE ME UP BEFORE 5:30 THIS MORNING  :bang  :bang

IT'S RAINING IN TEXAS  :cuss

EVERYONE COMING THIS WAY MIGHT WANT TO BRING AN UMBRELLA CAUSE WE HAVE A 60% - 80% CHANCE OF RAIN EVERY DAY THIS WEEK  :bang  :bang  :bang  :bang  :bang

 Frankie: :wave You were editing things into your post...thanks for the comment about the Clay pictures i posted. I am just about ready to head off for the day. I'm listening to the local classic country radio station, George Jones is singing "Family Bible", a hit of his that reached #16 in 1961. The single was only on the charts two weeks in May 1961...it being a gospel song it wasn't heavily played on country radio. The single also got lost between two of his biggest hits of that era, the late 1960 single "Window Up Above" which hit #2 and remained charted for 34 weeks, well into early 1961. The single that was released after "Family Bible" was "Tender Years" which was an even bigger hit than "Window Up Above". The "Tender Years" song hit #1 for 7 weeks and was charted for 32. So "Family Bible" was lost between those two mega hits from George.

"Goodnight" everyone...

:dust :dust :dust

hey all
So my dad got sick and we couldn't go last night.

Lorriane I pm'd you back. god nothing is easy in my life :lmao

My goodness - No time to read back pages. But this thread is just moving along at a more rapid rate than I can read.

I'll have to try to get on more often. Usualy there are so many pages to read, that I only get half read. Sorry , gals and guys.  Well, Linda - Hope your throat is better and tammy - enjoy those long walks.

Lorraine - Your lists keeps growing honey, but that OK. We can always add a few more men to our lives!!!! :lol :lol :lol

OK - off to get some work done. Talk to you all later.

cl4clay ~ :wave how are you?

Rainey ~ hey you!!!! your energizer bunny is back :wink  :wave :wave :wave :wave :wave :wave

lolita ~ :wave hey girl!!!

debbie ~ :wave hey girl!!!!

dudley - I've been watching it rain on you all morning - I think it is headed our way - only difference is that we could use a little rain. Umbrellas are already packed in the car! (And if I have to drag a boat, that is O.K. - I want to see Our Honey!  :lol )

Kimmy - sorry you didn't get to go  :hugg

Evelyn - are you baking today?

AC - missed you again - sleep well.

Kat - I bet Evelyn had the same energy as you when she was your age - she still has more energy than most people here! Have a good day if you are going to Sylvan - learn a lot!

I came on to post a magazine - now I am gone.

Good morning OCD, :wave :wave

It is not a smart idea to be outside…the heat is in its full force. I will be back in a couple of hours, and read the back pages then. Everyone, stay cool.

My cactus has beautiful flowers, I was going to take photos but my darn camera’s battery is low. Tonight the flowers will be gone. :cry

Hugs to all,

Lolita

Hi Everybody! I hope everyone is having a  good day so far! I am so far. I cant believe it's tour time already again! I am so excited I dont know what to do! For those going to the Texas concerts, I hope the rain holds out. I heard it was supposed to rain.  I hope everyone has a good 4th of July too!  

Good afternoon everyone.  :wave

HI KRISTA - HOW'S BLUE MONDAY GOING.  I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW NIGHT AND SEEING APOLLO.  CANNOT WAIT.

LOLITA - I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW COOL IT IS HERE IN CT. BUT IT SURE FEELS GOOD AFTER THE FEW DAYS OF HUMIDITY WE HAD LAST WEEK.

TAMMYKINS - ARE YOU STILL PULLING UP THOSE WEEDS OR DID YOU DIG YOUR WAY TO THE BRIDGEPORT VENUE.

EVELYN - ISN'T VARIETY THE SPICE OF LIFE.  THE MORE THE MERRIER I SAY.

JERRY - I KNOW THIS WON'T BE EXCITING LIKE GOING TO A CLAY CONCERT BUT HECK IF CLAY IS ONLY GOING TO COME TO THE EAST COAST ONCE THIS YEAR THEN I NEED TO FIND OTHER THINGS TO ENJOY MYSELF. 

FRANKIE - HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GOOD DAY.  KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT SOMETHING EXCITING HAPPENS TOMORROW NIGHT WHEN I GO AND SEE DWTS.  CAN YOU BELIEVE CLAY WILL BE BACK IN ACTION THIS WEEK.  YIKES IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER.

HEY KAT - DID YOU RUN OUT OF BATTERIES YET.

A good afternoon to Woody, Frankie, Evelyn, Tammy, Prissy, Lorraine, Krista, Lora, Cindy, Lindsay, Jayne, Sasha, Angela, Carla, Sara, Glory, Pepe, JoAnn, Meesa, Boca, Marilyn, Bozena, Michelle, Jan, and the rest, stay cool and enjoy the day. :wave :wave


AC – I believe I had seen your thread (AC’s review) before but did not realize it as an ongoing thread such as OCD and CM. I respect your opinion and if I ever disagree with your opinion/review, I will be civilized. :wink I don’t know if the concert (Clay’s concert) that you’re attending is before mine or after, but I am looking forward to your review of Clay’s concert. BTW, I love Marty Robbins; I owned a few of his CDs. My woman, my woman, my wife is, to this day, one of my favorite.


Janet, reading your post and how much pain you are suffering, :hugg makes me feel so helpless.


Tiffany thanks for the summaries and the prayers for us all. Are you ready to celebrate Independence Day? Every year, we watch fire works out in our patio. We have a very nice view from high school where the fire works are being held annually. Fireworks start at nine; I have a lot of time to see if there is a cellcert that night. :wheee



Betty, I’m glad you and your companions have enjoyed the beach. I was born in the mountain but raised by the beach…I always prefer the mountain. Mountains to me are peaceful and I love spending time in it when I can. I hope the storm in your area was not bad. So, who walk on the plank, was it you or Sophie (the dog)? :wink How did you lose the hat? I had been busy with my garden, the more I work the more the mess I create, but I am enjoying myself and cannot wait for my plants to grow.


Linda, take care of yourself, :hugg I hope the doctor that you visited today can help you with whatever it is that you have. I can’t believe you are still suffering from the cough.


Kat, I miss you too. :hugg How are you? I hope you are behaving. :naughty So, how does it feel to be seventeen? :shappy I was seventeen once, it was a long time ago, :lmao :lmao heck; I don’t even remember it anymore. :scratch


Hugs to all,

Lolita

Lorraine, CT is probably cooler compared to California, however, Clay, Apollo, Criss, and Bon Jovi will probably turn your house into a furnace. :flame BTW, I’m glad you are enjoying your cool weather. :hugg

JEANNE AKA JAN

Good Afternoon!

The quartet just left a short while ago.  We practiced from 9:30 until noon, then we ate lunch (My Mexican food meal) and had a dessert of chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream.  We sat and talked at the table for another hour or so;  then they wanted to see the backyard.  Two of the members had not been in my backyard before. 

I came online hoping to see something about Meet and Greets.  No news yet??

We are going to the Pet Hospital to talk to them about boarding Shadow and Sandy.  They said they would not put them in the same kennel, but the dogs are used to being together.  Skip is going to talk to them in person and present a signed release and we're hoping they will relent and not separate the dogs.

I need to do laundry and start planning for the next several days;  Wednesday and Thursday morning in Frisco, and then leaving Friday for Houston and returning on Sunday.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.  So far, it has not rained today, but we are hearing the rumblings of thunder.  It must be time for our daily rain!!

Hugs to all,
Prissy

I'm ok. Busy, busy. My new supervisors are here and I've been helping them. How are you?
You will love the DWTS show. Aside from Apolo (who I didn't see), it is a great, entertaining show. I had so much fun. I can't wait to hear all about it. PM me, ok? For I will be in the cave beginning on Wednesday until I see Clay on Friday night.  :smile

IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE HE WILL BE BACK.  I HAVE A WAYS TO WAIT SO IN THE MEANTIME IT WILL BE APOLLO. :thud :thud :thud

JAN - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.  I HOPE YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL. :confetti2 :confetti2 :confetti2 :confetti2 :confetti2  WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT I WAS A BIG LOVER OF NEIL DIAMOND AS WELL.  NOT LATELY THOUGH.  A LITTLE TOO OLD FOR ME.  KEEP CHECKING OUT CRISS ANGEL, HE WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE YOU THOSE GOOSE BUMPS BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

LOLITA - YEP JUST THOUGHTS OF THOSE GUYS TURNS ME INTO A FURNACE NOT JUST MY HOUSE.

PRISSY - HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME CLAY TREKKING.  MAYBE NEXT YEAR FOR ME.

HEY KAT  :wave :wave :wave

OKAY I AM CHECKING OUT A LITTLE EARLY.  YOU KNOW BOSS IS AWAY.

HUGS
RAINEY

  :lol

I love our new banner :fruit …can’t wait to see our Clay in action. :purpbana


Kat, I know, I shouldn’t asks whether you’re behaving or not, because you are always misbehaving, :wink but I can’t help it.  :lol I can’t believe you’re “A little tired,” being a year older must have gotten to you already. :shappy :lmao :shappy


Lorraine, you’re going to turn CT into a one big furnace. :yes :laugh Tammy and Linda won’t be happy with you. I notice that the two men (Bon Jove and Criss) you added are older than usual…are you getting tired of the young ones. :wink :lol


Jan happy 43rd wedding anniversary to you and your husband, :yay enjoy the “Waterfront.”


Prissy, have a safe trip to Fresco and Houston. I hope Sandy and Shadow will be safe at the Pet hospital and will not miss you as much.

What A Day! My Dr. came by this morning. He had called Walgreen's and ordered me some Lasix and Potassium but I told him I didn't have any way to go get it so he called another drug store that delivers and it is supposed to be here after 6. Then the phone has rung off the wall all day. MYdaughter had callsd and talked to the DR. and she called me and she wants me home before August so I don't know when I will be going back up there but it won't be long I guess.
JERRY, I loved  your ramblings through cottage 119. You are so funny,
Well it is almost pill time so I will talk to  you guys later. Thanks again for all the beautiful cards. Meesa and Kat Sorry I didn't say Happy Birthday to you guys the other day but hope you both had good ones.

ooooh loooorraine :lmao

Rainey you crack me up! :lol :lmao

                                           GOOD EARLY EVENING,BEEN HOME A WHILE WORKING ON BECCAS COLLEGE FUNDING. :bangTHEY RAISED IT SOME.BUT IT WORKED OUT

                                                I HAD A GOOD DAY MARY DOING GOOD I AM FAMISHED AS USUAL. I HAVE TO CATCH UP BE BACK IN A BIT.

Well, I just got back from my own doctor.  Turns out the Walk-in doctor gave me something to make me cough!!!  What the------!!!  I went there because I was coughing, the fool!  No wonder I couldn't stop all night.  Anyway, my own dr. gave me a cough medicine with codeine; that ought to shut me up now.   I will be glad to pass out for a couple of days!!

Lorraine, I can see you are all wound up.   You would think you haven't been anywhere in a long time. :lol :lol :lol  I hope you will be controllable when we see Clay. :lol :lol :lol  By that time, I will be one big whacko myself after all of this crap the last month has given me.  Keep your mind on the road now when you are driving tomorrow night; no yelling and whistling to the young guys passing you by.  Okay, on the pm.

AC, circulate to Lorraine is to mingle with as many guys as she can.  Yeah, that's what circulate means.  So, she is still in circulation mode most of the time. :lol

Tammy, have fun tomorrow night; come back and tell me all about it; well, I don't mean tomorrow night, but the next day would be good.  I will probably read about it in the newspaper. :lol

Kimmy, sorry dad was sick.

Frankie, what an adorable card mom got today.  She always says it makes her smile, especially since she never feels good.  Well, now she is getting what I have and I am not even up to taking good care of her right now.  I just hope she doesn't get pneumonia again.   She needs some good days.  I don't know who gave who the germs, but at least I am younger and do things for myself.   Next week, oh boy!  Can you stand it.  Did you say CT in the winter????  There is always Spring or whenever Clay comes our way next year.  We just need to find you a flying companion.  We started the new medicine for Samantha; so far, not much difference; maybe in a few more days.

Kat, are you running, jumping and whatever else with all of your joy and energy!!  Do it now, honey; that is what youth is all about.

Evelyn, yes, there is always room for men in our lives.  In my life it has to be in my dreams, but that can be fun too. :lol

Jan, I have to tell you how beautiful the sketch of Clay is for our cookbook cover.   I will cherist it once again.

Pepe, I owe you some words.  Soon.  I hope you are feeling better this week.

Hi to everyone else I didn't mention.

I have to go and get this #%#%^)%#^#()% cough medicine that I should have had three days ago. 

Glory, glad the funding worked out.   Didn't Becka get the full scholarship?

Dudley, can you believe it.   Rain again every day.   I think you are going to have to wear rubber suits to that concert!!  We need some fast rain stopping dances.

                                     LINDA ALMOST FULL SHE WAS 2700.00 SHORT FOR THE WHOLE YEAR WE TOOK OUT A LOAN TO COVER IT. LIFE IS GOOD.

                                     I NEED TO DO SOMETHING BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO A THING, CAN YOU BELEIVE THAT.

                                  DUDLEY I PRAY THEY DO NOT HAVE TO CANCEL THE CONCERT DUE TO RAIN THAT WOULD BE JUST HORRIBLE.

Hey Glory :wave Hey Linda :wave

Linda ~ yeah!

 :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang GOT TO ENVAULAT AGAIN!!

 :wave

Good afternoon! I have been shelling peas and my hands are a nice shade of Claymaniac Purple!  :lol

Jan and Mr. Jan - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!  :cheer :cheer :cheer2 :dance I am glad that at least your computer lets you come here (the most important site!) Your PhotoBucket account with all of your pictures is still there, and maybe someday your computer will work wel enough for you to access it!

Krista - I am going into the Cave with you until Friday - hard to do, because I am going to write the ANN Thursday!   :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao I am going to just post all of the articles that come through about Frisco without reading them! I want to be surprised Friday at the concert - it is going to be so hard to not attend the CellCert on Wednesday - I'm just going to drop by to say Hello, then leave.

lolita - I love the new banner, too - looks like Clandy has been hard at work again.

Janet -  :hugg so glad your doctor came to you and that he found a place to deliver your medicine. I'm praying that your move won't be too hard on you.

Kimmy and dudley - Oh, No! looks like Lorraine is going to have to erase one man from her list! Chriss Angel is not the type she needs!  :naughty


Linda - I think you, Mom, and Samantha need to bundle up and head on down here - maybe the heat will make all of you feel better! I hope you are all better soon, and I'm praying that your Mom does not get sick - she has enough health problems already.  :hugg :hugg :hugg (That is a hug for each of the three of you! )

Boca - where are you?  :para

Glory - I think you should be here soon - you said you were working a short day.

Prissy - You will see Clay day after tomorrow!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! And I will see him Friday!  :thud

I'm off to cook supper - think I will cook eggplant Parmesan! (lots of eggplant and tomatoes from the garden). See y'all later!

Linda, I need some of those codeine, me wants to pass out for a year. :shappy :shappy :shappy I'm glad you had your cough straighten out. I'm looking forward to chatting with a new and healthy you. I will answer your pm tonight or tomorrow. Your second pm had me laughing. :lol Thanks for the two pm and the laugh.


Kat, I will send myself in a pm and tickle you silly. :shappy :shappy :shappy :lmao Thanks for the pm, i will answer it tonight. :hugg


Dudley, I love the little "Criss article" you posted for Lorraine. :lol :lol

Glory - there you are!   :hugg I took an hour long nap this afternoon - I have just been a Slug! And I still don't want to do anything but sit here and talk (why do some people expect for there to be food cooked every day?  :bduh )

                                    FRANKIE EATING EVERYDAY IS SO OVERATED. :lmao :lmao

                                                     I AM A SLUG TO. HI MISS LOLITA AND KAT.ARE YOU GOOD TODAY.
                                       

 :wave :wave :wave

Work went fine today.  I did ALL my errands, and then went and sat outside with a book for awhile.  Then I came in and a friend called that has been trying to get ahold of me.  She wanted to tell me that her youngest got engaged.  Not a surprise since they live together, but she is very excited.   :bouncy  They are both from my young son's class and he has been friends with them since 1st grade.  I guess he saw it on their MySpace and already sent his congrats.  My family kept it from me so my friend could tell me herself.   :wink

Any news on the M&Gs?????

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO JAN AND MR. JAN!!!!  :yay :cheer :gish :confetti2 :highfive  I hope you have a wonderful night out.   :hugg

Linda - Hope this gets you straightened out.   :hugg  I will do the ward off the illness dance for you.   :wink

Lorraine - You make me laugh.   :lol  BAV.   :lmao  So what do you think about the new Criss news???

Tammy - Hope AC didn't mess up your shoes too much.   :lmao

AC - You always make me laugh, too.   :lmao  I guess that's why you are our funnyman.

Janet - Glad you could check in and let us know how you are.   :hugg  I hope you will be feeling better in time for the cellcerts. 

Frankie - Yeah.....they expect food here, too.   :lmao  ANGELA has the same problem with her hubby, too.   :naughty

Glory - I don't feel like doing a thing, either.  Let's go sit outside in the back yard and listen to Clay.   :bouncy

Lolita - Hope you are surviving your hot weather.   :hugg

Kat - Can you pass your energy to me and everyone else???

Dudley -  :pray  for good weather for the TX concerts. 

Prissy - I would LOVE to come to one of your luncheons as we both love Mexican food.   :yum

 :wave and  :hugg all around.

I see our drinking buddies are back.   :cheers :cheers2 :chug I think they are so funny.   :lmao  Thanks to Clandy or whoever saw my post about that and brought them back.  They will be well used at parties.   :wink :lol

Hubby just got home from work 30 minutes EARLY!!!!!  HECK!!!! So here I am at the computer, and so now he thinks that is all I have done all afternoon.    :bang

Off for supper hour. I am making breakfast for supper.  Sausage gravy and biscuits, fried potatoes, and eggs. 

I may watch Age of Love tonight.  I like watching that kind of show... I don't feel like shopping for TVs tonight.  I think I am going to ask hubby if he will hook up our little TV from our bedroom down here until we get another one.

OK....not sure what time I will get back here.....
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Frankie, how do you make eggplant parmesan? I would love to learn it. BTW, I hate cooking every day. I told hubby that if we ever become rich,  :wink I would keep on mowing the grass as long as he hired a cook.

Miss Glory, how are you? I keep missing your post and you keep missing mine...but here we are, so I'm not complainging anymore. :lol

 :wave lolita!!!  :hugg

I hate cooking everyday, too.  Just too many years of it.... And eggplant parmesan is one of MY favorite foods!!!  I LOVE eggplant.  Maybe Frankie can post her recipe in the Recipe Swap thread.  I just do my own thing....don't follow a recipe, but I would be glad to share with you how I make it.   :bigsmile

Gotta go to supperland.   :wink
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Hi Lolita, kat, Woody, Frankie, AC, Angela, Glory, Corbet, Prissy, Loraine, Meesa, Marliyn Jayne, Pepe, AND EVERYONE!!!!

   We just had our 2nd bad rain/thunder/lightening storm of the day!!!!!!   I'm in Fort Worth,Tx and it is less then an hour's drive to Frisco.  Clay will have a nice overhead on his stage, but we will be in the stadoum stands in the rain.  On the OCC, one person reported that NO UMBRELLAS  allowed in Frisco, they are encouraging rain coast, rain hats or ponchos.  Hot, hot, hot and sweaty.
      Maybe this poster will bring in the sunshine for Frisco and Houston.

Joann - it is the same way with ball games - no umbrellas allowed - we have several large ponchos for that very reason  - and dudley - I love the decorated ponchos picture - I think everybody should decorate, sit out in the rain, and just enjoy Our Honey - one of the "fun" things about an outdoor concert!  :lol

Woody - I just made up my own recipe for eggplant Parmesan - and, lolita, I will post it in the recipe thread just as soon as I have time!

We were about to eat supper when Lewis got called out - had to meet a doctor who is moving away from here over at the office he has been renting to get the key and give him his deposit check back. Lewis will be back in a few minutes, and after supper we are going over to our office to mow the grass - maybe after I get the flower beds watered and weeded, I can get on the computer over there! See 'ya later!

                                                  I WISH I COULD SEND OUR BEAUTIFUL WEATHER TO TX  MAYBE IT WON'T RAIN. I SEEM TO REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHEN SOME CLAYMANIACS HAD TO THUD IN THE MUDD, SEEMS SO LONG AGO WOW TIME FLYS.

                                                    WOODY I WILL BE RIGHT OVER TO SIT WITH YOU OR MAYBE NOT, I WISH I LIVED CLOSER TO SOMEBODY. :soapbox :soapbox

 :hugg

Glory I know the feeling - I am hours away from another Clay fan - it would be so nice to just have somebody come over and watch a DVD, scrapbook, look at Clay magazines,  work on some Clay crafts, or just talk about His Clayness - thank goodness for the internet!!!!!  :clap :clap :clap :clap

Still waiting for the husband to get here - and I cooked, too! At least he called and said he would be here in aobut 15 minutes!

I could post that recipe for Eggplant Parmesan, but I am going to have to think about amounts - I just go in the ktichen and cook it - I've never really measured anything  :lol

I posted in the ANN a little while ago - the producers of "Idol: The Musical" are giving tickets to Clay fans free for the first 4 Performances - if I lived near NYC, I would go!

I'm off do do something productive - hope to see all of you al little later  :ghug

YEA HE IS SAVING IT ALL FOR ME. :thud :thud :thud :thud

Lorraine, Dudley beat me to it.   You are all set now.  His wifey wants to set him free!!

There is a new audio message from Clay up in the Media section of the OFC!

FRANKIE - MY GARDEN IS GROWING LIKE CRAZY BUT STILL NOTHING I CAN PICK AND EAT.  EGGPLANT PARMESAN SOUNDS YUMMY, ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

WOODY - I WASN'T TOO SURPRISED ABOUT CRISS.  HE IS A BAD DUDE BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHAT DRAWS ME TO HIM.  HECK I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIP.  JUST MAYBE A ROLL IN THE HAY. :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao  YEA I AM BAD.  IT MUST BE THINKING OF APOLLO TOMORROW NIGHT AND HOPEFULLY CLACK ON WEDNESDAY OF MY OTHER HONEY.

GLORY - WHEN AREN'T YOU HUNGRY.  GLAD YOU HAD AN OKAY DAY.

Lorraine
The way you sound tonight I'm afraid there ain't going to be nothing left of Bob or Diego by tomorrow.. :lol :lol

Linda
 :hugg  I feel horrible that you are still so sick..  How am I going to handle Lorraine all by myself? :para  I'm going to need back up help..  :para

                                   lorraines on a roll. :lol :lol :lol

Lorraine, sounds like a good idea, some tea.  I stopped in this evening to say :wave and wish everyone a good night.  I plan on sitting back and watching some TV now before I head for bed. 

My friend, I know exactly what you mean about livng alone, I have relatives right next door, but at least they never complain when I have Clay up as loud as I can.:clap  Enjoy your tea, see you in the morning :hugg 

 I would venture to say, GLORY, that she's on something else altogether :yes Or she wishes she were :slick

Charlene: I read your comment on my review thread. Buck Owens sang "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail". It was written by Harlan Howard. Buck passed away a few years ago. He was one of the hosts of HEE-HAW as you know. He was co-host from 1969-1986. Roy Clark, the other host, remained with the program until the show ended in 1992.

                                 i was trying to be polite ac. :lmao :lmao

Lorraine doesnt know what polite means.. :lmao :lol :roflmao

 GLORY: Haven't you learned by now that you don't have to be polite to Lorraine. :no She is the one who posts to the world that she's into group sex...so as the old saying goes, "you made your own bed, so lye in it", and with Lorraine her bed has quite a bit of company.

                                     SAY WHAT TAMMY. :lmao

 GLORY: Tammy was making reference to the stripper pole...i had written a skit this morning about the last OCD cottage. If you didn't see it, go back to page 1 or page 2...i know it's on one of the early pages. I said Lorraine and Tammy had a strip bar in the OCD cottage. That's what Tammy was talking about...now, then, GLORY...what was on YOUR mind?? You can tell us...you're among friends here...

HOLY SMOKE!!!  What's going on????  We have people pole dancing..... :lol :lol :lol  I guess I better read a bit....
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Lolita, How are you doing? It sounds like you"ve been pretty busy in the garden it"s good that you enjoy it so much. I like gardening but it"S SO HOT HERE. I take Sophie for a walk early because it storms a lot later in the day. She does"nt like the thunder but if I sit on the couch with her and pat her gently it seems to help..WHenis your concert? Ours are not until August 17th and 19th so you will have to tell me all about yours. Tea time now, don"t be late.  Hugs, Betty 

THEY ARE MORE YOUR STYLE THAN MINE. :slick

WELL ISN'T THATS WHY WE ARE GOING TO SEE APOLLO TO MAKE HIM MY BACKUP HELP. :lol :lol :lol

NOT NECESSARY.  I HAVE BEEN CALLED WORSE IN MY LIFE.

TAMMYKINS - I DID REMEMBER "LITTLE PEOPLE" AND NOW ON I AM WATCHING "BIG MEDICINE"  I ALSO SAW SOME PREVIEWS FOR CRISS ANGEL TOMORROW NIGHT WHICH I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE.  HE HAS BEEN A VERY BAD BOY SO I AM GOING TO PUNISH HIM.

JERRY - WISHING I WAS ON OTHER THINGS. :slick  HEY I HAVEN'T HAD COMPANY IN MY BED FOR YEARS.  REMEMBER I AM STILL A BAV.  I AM ALL TALK, NO ACTION.  WELL FOR NOW.

NOT MY FAULT, NOT MY FAULT.  I JUST SAY THINGS AND THEY ALL START STORIES.  HONESTLY WOODY.

RAINEY

I'm not Woody but the concert starts at 8:15 central which is 9:15 eastern.  :smile

reeeeeeeeeally???? I might actually making it to the end then :bouncy

Yep. There is a soccer game before it.

Hey all. Summery time.

Thanks Woody for the new session!

Glad you had a great day with your family at your sister's and seeing your young son.
That's good you can see him again in a month.

Sorry your tummy was hurting. Glad you are feeling better now and slept well.

Congrats on your friend's son getting married!!!!

Thanks for remembering my question about what you got for your Anniversary. The new bed sounds nice for you and your hubby. Hope you like it.

AWESOME it's a go for the the cellcert conference call. Can't wait to hear the 1st concert.  :wheee

Charlene-Have a nice visit with your son and other company.

Angela-That's great you have a short work week.

Frankie-Sorry you didn't have any luck finding a camera.

I remember you said Aaron was mean as a bodyguard but still you had a great experience meeting Clay.  You do deserve another chance. Hope Jerome is with him on this tour.

Prissy-The Mexican food and dessert you made for the quartet sounded yummy.

Hope Shadow and Shady can be ok at the Pet Hospital while you are gone.

Jan-Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby!!!! :congrats Enjoy your dinner tonight.

That's good you are able to post here from your computer at the studio now but sorry you losted a lot of things.

That's great you can pet at least one of your kitties now.

Tammy-That's good you could sleep in a little this morning.

I think Elliott's song was called, A Song For You.

Janet-That's good that the doctor will have someone deliver some pills to you tonight. Hope they make you feel a little better.

Welcome Jerry.

Great mini skit on you walking the halls of the cottage and finding the hussies wine cellar, strip bar and shoe closet. :lol You were hilarious with Tammy and Rainy this morning. :roflmao

Thanks for the pics and songs.

I sang along to the Gilligan's Island theme. :lol

I've seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit a few times.

Glory-Sorry your boss woke you up while you were sleeping this morning but at least you didn't have a long day at work.

Glad to hear Mary had a good day.

That's good you got Becca's College fund straightened out.

I was one of the people who Thudded in the Mudd. :lol It was the NAT tour at a fair in Deleware where it was storming the whole time. That was the 1st concert I saw Clay.

Rainy-Enjoy your short week week too.

Can't wait to hear all about you and Tammy seeing Apolo tomorrow.

You are being a very bad girl today but that's why we love you. :naughty :lol

Thanks Linda.

Can't believe that doctor from the Walk In Clinic gave you medicine to make your cough worse. Surprising the antibiotic didn't even help. That's good you got to see another doctor today. Hope what he gave you can help it feel better.

Dudley-Is the rain in Texas ever going to stop? Arghhhhh

That would be funny but cute if everyone had pics of Clay all over their poncho's/cloncho's. :lol

What a cute pic of Raleigh with one on.

I don't get what's funny about that article on Criss Angel. :bduh

JoAnn-It's going to be a miserable day if it's raining and hot at the Frisco concert and also at the soccer game during the day. They probably don't allow umbrellas cause it will be in the way. That's good at least the stage will be covered on Clay.

Nice HOT blend.

Krista-That's good you don't have to be in the cave too long this time before you see Clay.

Welcome Lolita.

Sorry it's so hot outside. You stay cool too.

Sounds nice you can see the fireworks every 4th of July from the patio at your house.

Not doing anything special cause I want to be here to hear about Clay's 1st concert. Ofcourse they'll be a cellcert.

Lindsey-Enjoy your short work week also.

Meesa-Thanks for the heads up on Clay's voice message wishing us a Happy 4th. He hasn't done that in a while. That was sweet. I missed his voice.

Thanks also for the concert time.

You and Marilyn have a safe trip tomorrow and have a WONDERFUL time at all 3 Clay's concerts. Can't wait to hear all about it. :bouncy

Clandy-Great shot of Heather at the Woman's Open. So cool you got to see her on TV.

Love the Capital 4th banner!

Kimmy-That's too bad you didn't go to the concert last night cause your dad got sick. Hope he can feel better. It's a good thing the concert was free.

Kat-Can't believe you came home today and you have to back to the hotel tonight. I know you are sick of the flooding. At least we know you are ok.

This is crazy that the OFC hasn't announced the winners of the 1st Meet and Greets yet.

Thanks for the gorgeous pics of our man Woody, Jerry,Kimmy and Meesa.

Prayers for Janet, Boca, Papa B and her daughter, Alli, Thea, Linda's mom and her dog, Dudley and her family,Frankie and Lewis and family,JoAnn's mom,Prissy's niece and Skip's son and baby Taylor, Meesa's grandma, ChristieD's MIL,Carolyn's hubby,Janye's stepmom, Lindsey's office manager,Michelle's dad and Moonshot, Shannon's dog,Glory's lady Mary and Hollie, Kat's Papa, Bozena and her cousin's family, Sasha's hubby, Kris and her family, anyone getting bad weather and anyone else that needs them.

 :wave

I know everybody is probably asleep by now, but I came in to say Good Night anyway!

We didn't go to the office  to mow grass - I put peas and tomatoes in the freezer instead, and Lewis worked in the garden.

Meesa - I will go listen to the new Audio at the OFC after I post this - surely they have announced the Meet and Greet winners for Frisco! If not, they have to do that tomorrow!

Lorraine - Hope you and Tammy have fun tomorrow night seeing Apollo and all of the DWTS dancers - BEHAVE :naughty - you know I need to save the bail money for when you see Clay!

Woody - I am so happy that the CellCert worked - now everybody can have a chance to hear Our Honey!  :purpbana

Joann and Lorraine - it really has not sunk in yet that I will see Clay this week  :thud

I'm off to the OFC - I have a haircut appointment at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow - see y'all sometime in the morning!

I just posted this in Clay Daily!!

YEEHAH!!

I just received an email that I have been selected for a Meet and Greet with Clay in Frisco!!! :shappy  Now, how am I supposed to sleep tonight!!

I am really surprised and thrilled!!  The Clayman himself!!  And I only have a day and a half to obsess over it!!! :para :bigsmile

If you've had a Meet and Greet with Clay, I'd appreciate any advice or ideas.

Prissy

PS:  I will tell you I have been trying for weeks to find out which local orchestra is performing with Clay in Frisco so I could  join it and be on stage with him.  :violin I never could get any information, so if I can't be in the orchestra, I'm happy to get the Meet and Greet!!! :clap

Congrats Prissy!  :clap

PRISSY WON A MEET AND GREET!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee So happy for you girl. You are going to meet our honey tomorrow. :bouncy :purpbana  Remember to breathe. :wink Can't wait to hear all the details!!!! Yeah for Prissy!!!!! :cheer

Congrats Ms. Prissy!!  And to think you debated about going to Frisco, didn't you??  That is wonderful!   Our first M&G representative.  :purpbana

CONGRATULATIONS PRISSY!! AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU DECIDED TO GO?? :purpbana :purpbana :purpbana

Thanks, guys!

When Nokia was cancelled, I was really ticked off.  No!  I'm not going to sit at a hot soccer field in July to see Clay!!  But then, Marilyn had two good tickets to the Frisco Concert, so JoAnn and I decided we would go after all!!
:wheee  :wheee  :wheee  :wheee

Hugs,
Prissy

Betty, my time for gardening is limited because of the heat. I do my gardening in the front yard from seven to eight in the morning. I start at six to eight-thirty pm again in the back yard. I wish I could work longer but the heat is unbearable. Sophie is very lucky to have you, you and Corena love her very much and she knows it. My concert is August 3; I will share every little detail with you, if I remember that is. :lol Thanks for the tea and cookie; it was delightful having teatime with you. :wink BTW, how old is Sophie?


Linda, my dear, I hope you had a good rest last night and is feeling a little better today. :hugg I still can’t believe your walk-in doctor gave you the wrong medication. I wonder if he even pay attention to your complain. I own you a pm.


Janet  :hugg :hugg


Tiffany, thanks as always for you hard work on the summaries and the prayers for us all. I can hardly wait for the cellcert. I hope our Clay rocks the place. :purpbana


Prissy, Congratulations, :purpbana is this your first time? Dear Lord, how did you sleep last night? I will be looking forward to your post and of course photos. We want details; we are spoiled, are we not? :bigsmile BTW, it would have been even better if you get to perform on stage with him. :wink Heck, he might even dip you as he did with his back-up singer, Angela. :lol


Lorraine, I’m so sorry that AC, Tammy, and Linda, picked on you last night. Are you planning for a payback soon? :wink


Lorraine and Tammy, enjoy DWTS concert, I hope your seats are close enough to see Apollo’s every sexy move.


Woody, so you are in the process of purchasing a new television. Are you getting the flat screen type (I don’t know what they are called) One of this days, I’d like to get one and hang it on the wall. No more television stands.


Frankie, thanks and no hurry, I will be making my way to the recipe thread very soon.


Kat, I read Tiffany mentioned that you are back at your hotel. Take care and stay safe. :hugg I lied about sending you a pm last night, forgive me. :hugg

Go back and read the posts of all of us who have had Meet and Greets (they will be in the Tour threads). The time goes by in the blink of an eye - just have fun, and take a very reliable camera for the one picture you will be allowed to have! Are you allowed to bring something for an autograph? what will you take? I wish I could be there for you as you were there for me in Atlanta - you will have JoAnn, Meesa, and Marilyn, though!!!!  :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

Have a great morning, everybody - I'm off tohave a haircut (just a trim) at 7:30 - see all of you a little later!

It almost makes me cry with happiness to know the Summer of Clay is OH-fficially upon us.

Good Morning Everyone!

Congratulations.. :yay :dancingparty :yay :fruit :fruit :tour  I have one bit of advice.. If its hot and your sweaty, don't attempt to wipe your face with tissue.  It leaves a horrible residue on your face. :smile  I agree with Frankie on reading the thread on the meet and greet experiences..


Hello to everyone else I didn't mention.. I have to map something..

Heather update!!!!!!!

Talked to her about 10ish last night, very tired.  The Open is over BUT there is about 2-3 weeks of post-Open clean up, etc that needs to be completed so it will be a while before she is a fixture here again.  She did ask that I post so that y'all would know that she is still out there and will return as soon as she can.

Debbie

                                                 PRISSY  CONGRADS ON M&G, IF I EVER WIN ONE I WOULD TURN TO PURE MUSH. :roflmao :roflmao YOU ARE SO LUCKY.

                                       BTW TONYA TOLD ME LAST NIGHT BROTHER WAS FUSSING ABOUT ME SITTING ON THE COUCH SUNDAY HE WAS NOT EVEN THERE. HE NEEDS TO GET A GRIP BEFORE I GET A GRIP AROUND HIS NECK. HE DOES NOT EVEN OWN THE COUCH. :lmao :lmao

Clay has gone from #9/ 2 weeks ago, down to #10 last week and now #11 this week.  I am back on the job with all of you, so let's get our little "paws" to work  :bigsmile


 :wave Everyone....

Well, you may wonder where Mama has been.....The computer was down for about 4 days.  We thought the server was down and FINALLY, after much time with reps from Comcast, we figured out the problem stemmed from our router. 

 ANYHOO.....the last 3 days have been hectic as well.  Turned out on top of all our other expenses, we had to go and buy a new car.....we found out the car we were driving was about to have about $8,000 in repairs, so we traded it in while it was still OK but for 2 days straight, we ran from car dealer to car dealer and it just knocked me out.  I can't believe how attched I was to my car... I felt like crying when we had to give her up.  It was 7 years old, but looked like it just came out of the showroom.

 I have to leave in a little while for the Dentist and 2 other appts.  I have not read a thing and I hope to spend time here later tonight.  I miss everyone and want to know what is going on in all of your lives.  I haven't even checked my PM's :bang :bang :bang

I left a real biggie out.... will tell you more detail later, but my POOR DAUGHTER....my soon to be ex-son-in-laws girlfriend has been harrassing Nikki calling her through the night, every night for the past 4 days.  Nikki is going to the Police this morning to file a complaint.  It is surely draining all of us.

It's been awhile since I stopped in to say hello...I see Prissy Is gonna have a Meet and Greet!!!!!! that is wonderful...I can't wait to read  all about it!!!!

Boca.... computer problems :bang Car Problems :bang Dentist :bang Dr Appointments :bang  Thanks goodness there is a concert to look forward too!!!!!! :hugg

Hello to everyone!!!!!! and have a great day!

Boca...just saw your post about Nikki...what the heck...can't they just leave her alone...she doesn't need that!!!!  neither do you!!!! :hugg

:wave


Glory ~ no you do not need a cellphone.  You can call in using any phone.  The only big downside is that it will not be a free call unless you have unlimited long distance or free nights/weekends.  It is a regular phone#, not an 800# so your regular long distance rates will apply. (gee, I sound like a commercial!)  Pamela will be posting more detailed instructions today and we will try to answer any questions you may have before it gets started.

Debbie ~ thanks for the Heather update.  :smile

HELLO EVERYONE :wave :wave :wave :wave  BEEN SOMEWHAT BUSY HERE AT WORK BUT WHO THE HECK FEELS LIKE WORKING BEFORE A HOLIDAY.

MEESA - WELL HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND KEEP YOUR MIND ON DRIVING.

LINDSAY - YES IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THE "SUMMER OF CLAY" IS JUST HOURS AWAY.

TAMMYKINS - CANNOT WAIT.  A GORGEOUS DAY TO SEE APOLLO.  DOWN BY THE SHORE AS WELL.  BUT TRUST ME YOU DON'T WANT TO GET LOST IN BRIDGEPORT.

DEBBIE - THANKS FOR THE UPDATE ON HEATHER.  ONCE SHE GETS ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT I AM SURE SHE WILL BE BACK.

GLORY - I THINK I HAD AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE THE SECOND TIME I MET CLAY.  THE FIRST I WAS A NEWBIE.  NOW I SURE WOULDN'T MIND A THIRD.  NEVER ENOUGH.

BOCA - NOW THAT IS IT.  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ONE HUNDRED TIMES OVER.   :hugg

CLANDY - WELL I HAVE FREE MINUTES AFTER 9:00 PM SO I SHOULD BE IN LUCK AND WILL KEEP MY PHONE CHARGED FOR SURE.

Well, I am signing off now- my sister is picking me up in half an hour, we are going to lunch, and then to the airport!! I am soooo excited!! I meet Meesa in Tulsa tonight!! WOO HOO!

and tomorrow...................... :thud :thud :thud :thud

Hello!

This day is going by too fast!!!  I am finishing up laundry and then I need to run a few errands.  I am also still planning our trip for the weekend to see the Clay concert in Houston.  We will also see my niece, Kristy, and Baby Taylor, on Saturday.  We will return on Sunday.

I am getting things together to take to Frisco.  I am working on a notebook to give Clay with my Clay poems and also a page that tells about Claymaniacs and how close we all are.  I told about the four friends we have lost.

I also wrote about Janet and included her phone number.  Maybe Janet will get a call from Clay!! :cross

Luckily, my house is in pretty good shape and fairly clean from getting ready for the quartet practice and luncheon yesterday.

Here is a picture of the chocolate cake I made.  (Jan, doesn't it look like a giant chocolate donut?)

This picture is of one end of my dining room set up for our practice and then the quartet having lunch.

Hugs,
Prissy

PS:  I am trying to remain calm, but TOMORROW I MEET CLAY!!!! :clayfan

Just a quick post to tell Prissy how glad I am that she received a M&G.  Prissy, - tell us all, please.

Lorraine - You are too much girl. Tammy - how are you going to be able to handle Lorraine by yourself!!!! :lol :lol :lol

Only kidding Lorraine -  I know you and Tammy will laugh the whole way. Have a great time.

Prissy, congratulations.  :hugg You will do so well. Just remain calm.  :smile

Rainey and Tammy, have fun tonight.

Meesa and Marilyn, be safe traveling and have fun tomorrow night. See you on Friday in Houston.  :smile

Debbie, thanks for the update on Heather. She will need to be here for all the cellcerts. She is one of our cellcert experts.  :wink

Hi Evelyn, Glory, Lindsay, Debi, Clandy, Lolita and Jerry.  :wave

 :wave

I just lost a long post  :bang Internet has been on and off all day - we have gotten rain finally - got an inch in about 15 minutes!

Phiily has posted this in the ANN, but in case you missed it - Nominations are open for this year's Relly Awards - go here to Nominate:

REGIS AND KELLY (http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/regisandkelly/contests/rellys/nominations.html)

I don't know how long Nominations will be open, but the Awards themselves are on September 21 this year - I'm going to have to think of people to nominate (except for the Best Cohos Category!)

Boca -  :hugg things just have to get better for you and for your family.

Tammy and Lorraine - have lots of fun tonight!

Prissy - I smile every time I think bout your M & G!!!!!

Marilyn and Meesa - have safe travels  :hugg


Clandy - the phone cell cert is such a great thing!  :clap

Debbie - thanks for the Heather update - we miss her!

Debi - good to see you stopping by!


Glory - IGNORE The Brother!

Lindsay - Hard to believe that Our Honey is back with us!  :purpbana

Hey, Evelyn!


Off to read what is going on around the Board....................

I just went over to the OFC to read the names of M & G winners - All six are listed for Frisco (including Prissy!  :clap ), only 5 are listed for Houston, and only 4 are listed for Tulsa - I'm sure the other winners will step forward soon!

I'm headed out. See you all Sunday night!  :wave I'll try to check in when I can.

SAFE TRAVELS TO YOU & ENJOY!! ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY TOGET CLAYED ??

Yep. I better get going. I have to pick Marilyn up in Tulsa.

                                   WOW EXCITMENT GROWING AROUND HERE WONDER      WHY. :lmao :lmao HAD A GOOD DAY BROTHER GONE ALL DAY. HAVE TO EAT AND CHECK OUT THINGS BE BACK.

Hello.

Gonna try a post here..

computer STILL extremely Jacked Up!! :bang I can hit "post", then it goes to a white screen..then nothing. I can hit refresh, and it comes back to the Maniac screen that said I already posted...I can get into the thread by resigning BACK into the Maniacs and checking the thread and 9 times out 10- then post is there. But I can do one at a time, sign off and sign on everytime. Just really not worth it. Still not happy about the situation.

Glad to see Prissy won a meet and greet! Very exciting! 1 more day....amazing, it is finally here.

Not lost my fandom for Clay Aiken but certainly has changed. I am excited about hearing him sing, but I enjoy many others now.

I did buy Kelly C. new CD. I have only heard it once so far, with folks talking in the background of my car, so not a fair shake. I will will try again this weekend. I DO hear the Reba McIntire duet on our country station. Awesome.

Seems so many missed opportunities for Clay have passed...I can't tell you what they are exactly, but it sure as heck seems as if he could have been, (should have been ?) doing something more with his music this past year, especially on the heels of a new CD. I Don't get it. He sold 500000 CDs...not something to sneeze at and it just sort of all...went away. Poof.

I don't know where "blame" lies"....but it sure didn't seem like his "team" or himself pushed really hard this time around. Maybe it is what Clay wants...

anyway- the 21st of July is my only concert...and honestly, could be my last if his "music" doesn't fit where I am right now. I will always love his voice, but not necessarily the songs. I would likely buy the CD he puts out, but not attend a "concert"..

I am only saying this now, because if my computer never gets well...I didn't want you to think I was deserting the fandom in its entirety...I will always enjoy his voice.

I hope this finds you all well. Health wise, fat and sassy here. Heading off camping tomorrow for a few days. Cedar Point next week for a couple of days...Bucky Covington concert in August... My son recovered well from his wisdom teeth being cut out, thankfully, with no complications.

Other than that- just plain old L I F E.

Maybe I can talk soon. I can read when I have  some time, but I just can't post.

Have a great 4th of July.

Lora

Hi everyone. Gypsie is sick again. I think it is time for her meds, she only ate a little bit.

I am off work today and tomorrow yipeeee. I will most likely go out on the beach and watch the fireworks.

HEY RAINEY I FOUND THIS AND I KNOW IT FITS ME!!!!! :wink

(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/ClayBrettsgirl2006/bunny-1.jpg)
OH BTW CRISS ANGEL IS ON TONIGHT :shappy :shappy :shappy

 :wave

Very quiet on the Board tonight - not just on the OCD - I guess this is the quiet before the Clay Storm!  :clap :purpbana

It is still hard for me to realize that I will be seing Clay on Friday - I guess I will believe it when I start to pack my suitcase Thursday night!

Back to work - this house never gets completely clean!

                             DID SOMONE SAY STORM A COMIN  WHO MIGHT THAT BE OH YOU MEAN CLAY :lmao :lmao I REMEMBER MY FIRST CLAY CONCERT LYNN PICKED ME UP SHE GOT LOST GOINGTO MCDONALDS NEAR INDY.  THEN WE GOT LOST WHEN WE GOT IN INDY,THEN WE GOT LOST ON OUR WAY HOME BUT WE HAD SO MUCH FUN JUST GABBING MAYBE THATS WHY WE GOT LOST. :roflmao :roflmao  SUCH GOOD TIMES WITH PEOPLE I DID NOT EVEN KNOW AND HEAR I SIT THREE YEARS LATER WITH SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE THAT I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE DEEPLY.  A TEAR FELL. GOODNIGHT I HAVE WHIPPED THE WORLD TODAY AND WILL DO IT AGAIN TOMMORROW. :hugg :hugg

Hey all. Summery time.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you're only a day away to see Clay!!!! :woohoo :tour

:congrats again Prissy on your Meet and Greet with Clay!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee Have a good feeling someone here would win for one of the Texas concerts.  :bouncy

Welcome Woody.

Hope you were able to sleep a little more this morning.

Hope we can be able to hear the whole concert clearly with the cellcert conference calls.

Boca-That's awful your ex-SIL is harrassing Nikki like that. I was hoping things were getting better for her but it's only gotten worse. I'll pray for her something can be done to stop him.

Sorry your computer has been down. That's good you found out what the problem was and you are back on now.

Sorry also about you having to get a new car and you had to give up your old one. That's a lot of money for repairs.

I'm sure Clay will be in the top 10 again on Lycos after the concerts start.

Angela-Have a nice 4th of July with your parents tomorrow at the beach.

Frankie-That's good you got some rain today.

That's pretty early to have your hair done.

I saw that a few weeks ago about the Relly nominations. You don't have to fill out all of it. Only put Clay's name as Best guest host and musicial guest.

Prissy-So happy for you you get to meet Clay tomorrow!!!!Hope you can be able to get on a computer sometime tomorrow before or after the Meet and Greet or concert if you have any time to let us know all the details. Can't wait to hear all about it.

It was fate that you decided see him in Frisco. :wink

That's really sweet of you to write a letter to him about Janet and give him her phone number. Hope he can be able to call her.

Great pics of your quartet eating at your house and you and Skip at the Woman's club buffet.

That's a cute little doll playing the piano.

That cake does look like a chocolate donut.

Tammy-You and Rainy have fun tonight seeing the DWTS concert. Tell us all about it.

Glory-Your bosses brother is a such an A-hole to say that. That's good you didn't have to see him today.

That's too funny about you and Lynn getting lost so many times when you 1st saw Clay. :lol I'm sure it was a blast.

Lora-Sorry you are still having computer problems.

Glad your son is doing feeling better now after he had his wisdom teeth taken out.

Have fun camping and going to Cedar Point next week.
 
Rainy-Sorry your tummy hurts and you couldn't sleep good last night. Hope you feel better tonight before you see Apolo.

Hope you can survive seeing him before Clay. :lol Enjoy the concert.

Marilyn-Have a safe flight to Tulsa and you and Meesa have a great time seeing Clay and seeing everyone that's going from here.

I saw Susy said you had a long delay. That stinks.

Welcome Lolita.

Lindsay-Have a good visit with your parents.

I know. I'm crying with happiness too to hear that VOX again.

Meesa-Have a safe drive to Tulsa tonight and Texas tomorrow. You have a great time too seeing our boyfriend for 3 nights and have a lot of fun with Marilyn. Can't wait to hear all about it and see your pictures.

Clandy-Thanks for the info on the cellcert conference calls.

Debbie-Thanks for coming in here to let us know about Heather. Miss her.

Lurker Debi-Nice to see you.

Shannon-Sorry to hear Gypsie got sick again after she was getting better. Hope she can feel 100% better soon.

Enjoy your day off tomorrow and have a good time at the beach.

Kat-Welcome back. I'm sure it's good to be home now even though you are at your grandma's. Did your house get flooded at all?

Remember Rainy said she will miss Chris Angel tonight.

If it's raining tomorrow in Frisco, hope it won't be too bad. :pray

Thanks for the gorgeous pics of our man Clandy, JoAnn and Meesa.

Prayers for Janet, Boca, Papa B and her daughter, Alli, Thea, Linda's mom and her dog, Dudley and her family,Frankie and Lewis and family,JoAnn's mom,Prissy's niece and Skip's son and baby Taylor, Meesa's grandma, ChristieD's MIL,Carolyn's hubby,Janye's stepmom, Lindsey's office manager,Michelle's dad and Moonshot, Shannon's dog,Glory's lady Mary and Hollie, Kat's Papa, Bozena and her cousin's family, Sasha's hubby, Kris and her family, anyone getting bad weather and anyone else that needs them.

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo happy one of my friends won a M&G and will be meeting clay(according to another friend in 19 hours) :purpbana :purpbana Just thought i'd pop in. Fireworks ended having problems so they started late. We got home about 30 minutes ago. Just thought I'd pop on and say hi. Didn't read through back pages yet. Night all! Incase I miss some of you tomorrow. Have fun tomorrow night!!!!! :clayfan

 :wave

Good Night, OCD!


Glory - I first saw Clay in Houston with my daughter Amy three years ago - and now we are returning to Houston together again to see him!  :clap Having Amy at a concert always makes it more special for me - this will be the third concert we have gone to together!

Kat - I am excited for you, too - I wish I could see you see Clay!

Tiffany - Regis and Kelly officially announced the Relly Nominations would begin on their show today - I broke my rule and watched the show today just for that reason. I think it would loiok better if we filled out the entire ballot - not just the "Best Co-Host" part. Great Clay picture tonight!!!!


See y'all tomorrow!

:wave

Just wanted to post about this in case some of you missed this in Clay Daily.  We have a new Claymaniacs logo!  Myself and Marilyn both made some concert badges also using the new logo.  There are some instructions in this thread below on how you can print them up and wear them to your concerts and spread some Claymaniac love!!

CHECK IT OUT HERE! (http://www.claymaniacs.com/forums/index.php/topic,14505.0.html)

Frankie ~ personally I've decided not to nominate Clay for the Relly's.  I really would rather that whole :drama not be rehashed again and I think if he were to be nominated it would bring it all back up again.  Just my thoughts though.

Hope you all have a Happy 4th tomorrow!

Hi yall I just woke up from a nap. Gypsie is sick again she is so sick I guess with her neck pain that she can not lay down. I sure hope she will be OK for the 4th because I can not afford the emergency vet bill. Please continue to pray for her.

Prissy congratulations You are one of the greatest people I have ever met. See good things come to good people. We love ya.

I am off to be with gypsie. Love yall.
Shannon

 :wave :wave :wave

LATE check in for me.   :wink  Had a busier day than expected, and I am awake, but need to go to bed.  It is thunderstorming outside right now. 

Older son and girlfriend are having a cookout at 11 am so everyone can still see the parade.  So we will be there probably most of tomorrow.  Will have to catch up with you all later.

Boca - I'm s*rry Nikki is going through more CRAP.  Prayers are with her.

Marilyn and Meesa - I hope your travels went fine and you are enjoying your time together!!!  :bouncy

Prissy - Thinking about you ALL day.  Can't wait to hear how it goes.   :hugg

Lora - So good to see you.   :hugg  Miss you when you are not here.  Hope your computer woes are over soon.   :bouncy

Shannon - I pray that Gypsie will be 100% soon.   :hugg

Tammy and Lorraine - Can't wait to hear from you about Apolo and all the rest!!! Did Lorraine get arrested?????  Frankie didn't say anything to me about spending bail money.   :wink

Glory - Glad you whipped the world today.  Please tell me how to do that.   :bigsmile

COLOR OF THE BLUES
1958 #7 hit for George Jones

Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the color of a blue
In the mail your letter came the ink and paper looked the same
Blue must be the Color of the Blues

Bluebird's singin' in the trees seems to sympathize with me
But he's not singing like he used to do
The pretty waters in the sea feel as cold as you left me
Blue must be the Color of the Blues

There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red
Blue must be the color angels choose
A blue dress you proudly wore when you left to return no more
Blue must be the Color of the Blues

Blue days come and blue days go how I feel nobody knows
Life is mighty empty without you
There's a blue note in each song that I sing since you are gone
Blue must be the Color of the Blues

DEVELOPING MY PICTURES
1970 by George Jones

I'm Developing My Pictures, my mind's my darkroom.
The proofs I'm searching for will be made clear soon.
I'm Developing My Picture of the girl I admire.
Soon I will see you, and know you as you really are.

I'm told you wear two faces to hide things from me.
I've heard you've spoken very unkind words of me.
I don't believe hearsay, and take what I see.
But I've got to believe you love me.

So, i'm Developing My Pictures, my mind's my darkroom.
The proofs I'm searching for will be made clear soon.
I'm Developing My Pictures of the girl I admire.
For I want to see you and know you as you really are.

Yes, I want to see you and know you as you really are

I'M WASTING GOOD PAPER
1968 by George Jones

I know I shouldn't do this but I will anyway
I'll write you this letter and I'll mail it today
I've told myself you won't read it but I can't tell my mind
That I'm Wasting Good Paper, a stamp and my time.

You may take what I'm writing as some sort of joke
For I said all this before in the last one I wrote
I know it won't be opened for you won't read one line
I'm just Wasting Good Paper, a stamp and my time.

I sent you so many I can't count them all
And just like the others in the trash it will fall
I know you won't be wearing this name I now sign
I'm just Wasting Good Paper, a stamp and my time.

I sent you so many I can't count them all
And just like the others in the trash it will fall
I know you won't be wearing this name I now sign
I'm just Wasting Good Paper, a stamp and my time.

HUNDRED PROOF MEMORIES
1993 by George Jones

Love on the rocks that's all he said
As he sat there beside me shaking his head
I said, Mister, you look like you're taking it rough
The next round's on me, he said, "I don't touch the stuff"

'Cause these Hundred Proof Memories are stronger than wine
It don't take but one taste to send you out of your mind
No, I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
'Cause with Hundred Proof Memories, Lord, you don't think and drive.

He said, I quit drinkin' the day that she left
I come here out of habit in spite of myself
But there ain't no liquor that money can buy
That's stronger than what's bottled up inside.

'Cause these Hundred Proof Memories are stronger than wine
It don't take but one taste to send you out of your mind
No, I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
'Cause with Hundred Proof Memories, Lord, you don't think and drive.

No, I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
'Cause with Hundred Proof Memories, Lord, you don't think and drive

No, I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride
'Cause with Hundred Proof Memories, Lord, you don't think and drive

 ALL CAPS: :wave I changed my mind about Wal*Mart...i'll go over there later. I was about ready to head off and i thought "do i really want to get out and about this early..." and so i walked back in my room. I'll probably head out this afternoon/evening. Lorraine and Tammy are probably at this very moment trying to find their legs.

JERRY- ME TOO, GOING TO WALMART IN A WHILE.  YES, AND GET A SUB TOO.  SHOPPING ALSO.  COULDN'T TAKE MY WALK, STARTED TO RAIN :bang IS IT RAINING THERE?  OK I WILL CHECK OUT YOUR AC THREAD LATER TODAY.  BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GO OUT! :bigsmile

ANGELA :wave GOOD MORNING TO YOU!  HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY. :hugg

                              WELL I AM UP NOT TO HAPPY ABOUT IT  :soapbox :soapbox I AM LATE NOT TO HAPPY ABOUT IT. :soapbox CLAY IS BACK VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. TTYL GOUNG TO BE A BRUTAL DAY.

 Hello GLORY!! Thanks for the PM reply...i read it a few minutes ago.

Charlene: I sort of went crazy on my review thread...i was talking about Crook and Chase but i kind of went into a history of The Nashville Network, 1983-1999 :lol :lol I know you won't mind it, though.

Jan: Have you ever thought about taking a trip to Htrea? The planet is pronounced "Ha-Tray". It is actually Earth spelled backwards and home to the Bizarro's. A little explanation is in order...Bizarro is a character created by Lex Luthor in his quest to duplicate Superman but the experiment went wrong and Lex created a monster. In a way it was like Dr Frankenstein creating the "Monster" that everyone calls Frankenstein. Anyway, Lex was horrified by his creation and it was given the name of Bizarro. The Bizarro character was a backward version of Superman...meaning he was as strong as Superman but had very little intelligence at first. Bizarro's weakness is blue kryptonite. The planet of Htrea is populated by Bizarro versions of every character in the Superman comic books. There's a Bizarro-Lois and a Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen, etc etc.

AC: Halt! Who goes there!!???

"Not hault...me run...me am Jan-Bizarro...me am strong as Superman!"

~Jan-Bizarro hurls a canvas at a terrified AC~

AC: "Jan-Bizarro! Great scott...the only thing that can stop Jan-Bizarro is a blue kryptonite!!"

"Me am gonna destroy AC...bwahahahahaha...me gonna destroy AC, for good!!!

~Jan-Bizarro leaps up and stomps upon AC's back~

"Bwahahahaha...AC defeated...me Jan-Bizarro winner! Hooray!"

AC: "Guess again Jan-Bizarro!!! Try this on for size!!"

~AC pulls out blue kryptonite~

"Noooooooo....me Jan-Bizarro feel yucky...me feel weak...blue kryptonite...noooooo...."

~With that, a defeated Jan-Bizarro flies off to Htrea to rejuvenate...AC laughs to himself and makes a confession~

AC: "That simple Jan-Bizarro! She couldn't even tell i had painted the green kryptonite blue. hahahahahahaha!"

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

THIS IS ONE HOLIDAY I SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER.

TODAY I NOT ONLY GET TO SEE CLAY IN CONCERT BUT ALSO GET TO MEET HIM.

 I HOPE FOR SOME GOOD PICTURES TODAY, TOO.

EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND ENJOY TYE CELLCERT TONIGHT!

HUGS,
PRISSY

Woody - that is hysterical!  I just listened to All is Well in the car yesterday!!!  I was toast too - hard to do when driving  :lmao

http://50.lycos.com/

Good Morning everyone and Happy Fourth of July

Well, it was MY turn at the Dentist yesterday and now I need to have a Root Canal in a Tooth that already had one about 8 yrs ago :bang.....not to worry, the money tree in the backyard FINALLY started growing and yielding $1,000 bills...NOT  :lmao

As for Nikki...she went to the Police Station yesterday and filed the complaint.  They told her that they could go and arrest the girl immediately because of the severity of the harrassment. (She called NIkki over 50 times in 1 night and then called her for 4 days straight) She said to wait and see after she gets the notice from the police to see if she stops..if not, then they will pick her up and charge her.  Nikki's 2nd anniversary would have been this past Sunday...the 1st.  To think how happy we all were 2 years ago.  Nikki had a Bridal Shower Sunday and when my in-laws got there, they found Nikki hysterical and alone in her car....my heart broke.

As for this girlfriend of my ex-SIL's.....not only was she drunk as a skunk while she was doing this...she was saying things to Nikki such as....I am going to marry Michael on the same day you guys got married and we are going to use the same song as you danced to for your first dance as our first dance, etc...is this girl a NUT JOB or what?  She also said Michael is soooo  in love with her that he cries for her when she threatens to leave him and she has even punched him in the face and broken his finger.

Do I believe any of this?  Who knows, but as you all said...he did NIKKI a BIG favor by leaving if this is the trash he chooses to have instead of a good , kind  and loving wife and family.

I have so much housework to catch up on as I have been running all week and before that was out of commission for such a long time.  Can Laundry do itself?????  :lol

We are supposed to go to our Pool with neighbors this afternoon and to the Firework Display tonight but the weather is not going to be good....I really want to stay home anyway but I can't keep saying no to everyone as I have been doing for quite sometime now.

I only read a page or two.

LoraLynn...Sorry you have computer woes as I do know what that is like.  Glad your son is OK after his ordeal with his teeth...understand that too well also.  HOw are things with your sister?  Enjoy your camping trip.

Woody....I am so glad you will be with your kids today as I know what that means to you my friend :hugg

Jayne...We must be crazy..we got the Chrysler 300....but the one with the big butt engine AKA the GAS GUZZLER :bduh :bduh :bduh 

GLORY...YOu are too funny with your talking to Glory sagas :lmao  HOw are you feeling?  HOw is Hollie doing?  Will you be seeing Faith anytime soon?  I miss you :hugg

Meesa...Have a safe trip and have a blast....bring back lots of stories for us.

JoAnn...thank you so much...what a surprise when I opened my mail last week.  You're a sweetie

PRISSY.... :purpbana :purpbana :purpbana :thud :thud :thud :purpbana :purpbana :purpbana
I am thrilled for you as you surely deserve this.  I am glad you are writing things for Clay but I would put something in BIG print and point to it (since you are not allowed to chat) to make sure he has a reason to read your letter ASAP as I am sure hundreds of people write to him.  Think of something catchy as only YOU can do extremely well.  (Ahem....AKA, your "Happy" Part of a certain Poem" :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao)

OK...gotta get started..... :wave

BE SAFE and ENJOY your day!!!!!!

:wave Just dropping by to wish all of you a Happy 4th of July! :bouncy

Enjoy the day and the time with your families.

Good Morning Everybody, Just want to wish you all a very Happy July 4th. Enjoy it . Love, Corbet/ Betty

 :wave

Good Morning! Happy 4th of July!

I just woke up - can't believe I slept until almost 9!

Clandy - I don't plan to sit on the computer and vote for Clay thousands of times for the Relly - but I am going to put in my vote - I still think Ms. Ripa needs to know that not everybody agrees with how she acted - and if by chance Clay won, I do not think he would be unahppy at all!


dudley - I love your fireworks!

Prissy - this will be a 4th of July you will always remember!  :clap :purpbana

Where are Tammy and Lorraine? Nobody called for bail money!  :lol

Woody, Glory, ANGELA, Jayne, AC, Lori, Lindsay, corbet, everyone else who will be here soon, and to all Lurkers - have a wonderful, fun 4th!

We found our legs in between Apollo. :thud  :bouncy :bouncy :bigsmile :yum

 Very funny...i didn't know jokes were still sold in bottles :dunno

Good Morning!
This is Lorraine and Tammy from Lorraine's house with Tammy typing for the both of us.  We have recovered from all of the  :thud we did last night.  Apollo has the most gorgeous smile  :smile  and the cutest a$$.  :yum :yum  He fit his pants rather nicely.  Thank God for binoculars.  They came in handy. :lookie :lookie  Lorraine was so hot her thighs were sticking together. :shappy  My clothes were sticking to me but I resisted using my tissue to wipe my sweat..  :giggle  Besides focusing on mostly Apollo that night..  The show was great.  The singing and the band was fantastic and we liked the trio singing and talking routine between Joey Lawrence, Joey McIntyre and Drew Lachey.  The girls costumes were gorgeous and they didn't have an ounce of fat on their bodies. :bang  The guys fit very nicely in their pants, especially Apollo.  :thx  Did we mention he has a cute a$$ and a nice smile? :giggle  Anyway, It was a great show and we had a wonderful time.  The only thing was we sat back a little farther then we liked and ended up with eyestrain from looking at Apollo through the binoculars all night..  Did we mention the had a nice smile and a mighty fine a$$  :blush

We went to bed wondering if we would be wanting kielbasa for breakfast but ended up with sausage links and wonderful banana walnut pancakes. :yum  We are stuffed!  I will be heading back home around 11 and may head to see Transformers at a matinee and Lorraine is supposed to  have her boys and Catherine visiting today.. We are both looking forward to being on the cellcert if possible. Hope to see you there..

Jerry
We managed to have a good time without. :cheers :cheers2 :chug  Apollo was the drink of choice last night.

Frankie
No bail money needed.  But thanks for looking after us.  Have a good time on Friday and we hope to hear all about it.

Woody
Will two hail Mary's and three Our Fathers be enough for our wicked thoughts last night? :please

Linda
We missed you last night.. :hugg  We were so good we didn't even go out on our meat run that night. :shocking  We couldn't have gone without you.. It wouldn't have been the same.. :cry  We hope you are feeling better and have a nice time with your family today.

Angela
As you see we behaved ourselves as usual. :lol  Enjoy yourself with Tony and your parents today.. :hugg

Sasha
22 more days to Clay and getting together again... Enjoy your time off the rest of this week and next week. :hugg


Here's to Apollo  for last night.. :bigsmile

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/ldistefano/APOLLO/APL.jpg)


And to Clay for the kick off of his Soft Rock Tour.. :bigsmile

 I think i'm gonna throw up :puke

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/ldistefano/APOLLO/apolo.jpg)

HE DOESNT MAKE ME THROW UP... THIS THREAD NEEDS SOME EXCITEMENT.  WE THOUGHT WE WOULD GIVE IT SOME LIFE..

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/ldistefano/JUKE%20BOX/62466685-M.jpg)

COULD YOU HAVE HAD SOME BAD SUBWAY? :comfort  :hugg 

 Three can play this game...here's some excitement for you two...

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE!


AC - Don't throw-up :lol :lol

Tiffany, thanks for the summaries.

Hugs to all,

Lolita

Love the freeze ray.. :clap  We could have used that last night.. :flame

Hey Lolita
Hope we didn't make you sick too. :hugg We were just having some good ole fashion fun.. :shappy

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was on here acouple of times for a few minutes but by the time I read and got caught up I was hurting too bad to post.  I feel a little better right now. Don't know how long it will last. At least I don't think I will have people running in and out all day today.  Since it is the 4th everybody is taking life easy today.
JERRY,  Please don't :puke  That wouldn't be a good way to start your 4th.
RAINEY, AND TAMMY, and whoever else went to see Apollo last night I hope  you had a great time. He is good to look at but don't compare to our Clay.
PRISSY, Is it tonight you have your M & G? I am so happy for you. I know you are nervous but I feel like it will be just like Rainey and some of the others said----------I think he will make you feel so comfortable the it will be like greeting an old friend that you have known forever.
Well while I am feeling a little better I am going to catch up here and then check out the ANN and the Clayboard if I keep feeling better.
I love you guys.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!! :ghug

 :wave Jayne, Glory, Charlene, AC, ANGELA, Prissy, lori, Boca, Lindsay, dudley, corbet, Frankie, lorraine, Tammy, lolita, and the rest of the gang!!! 

HEY, it looks like you need a referee here.   :lol :lol :lol

How about THIS one????

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/woodstock854/Clayface.jpg)

His body parts ain't that bad, either.   :blush

We're supposed to be at my son's in less than an hour and I haven't been in the shower yet.   :sonic  So this is a quick drive by post.

Tammy and Lorraine - Glad you had such a good time.   :bouncy  Sounds like a LOT of fun!!!  And what was that you said about Apolo's a**?????   :naughty :lmao :lmao :lmao  Hey, at our age we are allowed some wicked thoughts.   :slick

AC - Calm down....the girls are just having a little fun.   :bigsmile   :wink

Boca - Hope it all works out for Nikki.   :hugg  Can you give me a cutting from the money tree so I can start my own???   :lmao

Lori - That is funny that we were both listening to All is Well.  To be honest with you, to me, it is not just a Christmas song.  When I am feeling a little blue, it is a "lift me up" song.  Clay is telling me all is well....and when I listen to that beautiful voice, I believe him.   :bigsmile  Hope you are doing well.  :hugg

Prissy - Thinking of you every minute, my friend.   :hugg You so deserve this.

 :wave and  :hugg all around.

Have a WONDERFUL day everyone.   :ghug2

Let freedom ring!!!!!
Woodstock :bouncy X120

I think the freeze ray was manufactured by Einstein...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/ACcountryFan/einstein_thinking.jpg)

Yes, at that very moment he's contemplating mass plus height and weight multiplied by the square root ratio of division by subtracting the power neutron minus the equivalent comes to who knows?!?

Lolita and Janet: :wave Don't worry...i'm not going to throw up on anyone. I just wasn't expecting a lot of a$$ talk when they gave their review and i was surprised. The two of them are mature enough to know i was joking with them...that's why i quickly posted those LeAnn pics and the one of Captain Cold and his freeze ray.

Janet - Good to see you.   :hugg  Glad you are feeling a little better today.  Just knowing Clay starts the tour today is SO exciting!!!   :bouncy  YES, Prissy's meet and greet is today.  I can't wait to hear all about it!!!  Hope you have a good day today.   :hugg
Woodstock :bouncy X120

 Woodstock: :wave I'm calmed down :bigsmile I am having my little fun as well exaggerating their reputation's even more than they exaggerate it themselves.

Prissy: I hope you have a good experience with the Meetin' and the Greetin' with Clay! I know you will...s***y i didn't make a remark about it earlier...as you saw i was posting something to Jan and then got caught up "discussing" the Apolo a$$ :hugg

I'm going to head off for the rest of the day...even though i don't work tonight i'm still operating under a work-day schedule. I'll be back later this evening sometime.

 :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

Lorraine, there will be no vomiting for me…I expected a report of excitement upon yours and Tammy’s return. I’m glad the two of you have experience Apollo’s sexy smile and moves. :lol :lmao


AC – I know and I’m sure Lorraine and Tammy knew you were joking about vomiting. I’m sure they’ve cooled down…thanks to freeze ray. :lol :lol


Betty, I don’t have special plan for today, we will watch the fireworks that the City held every fourth in our patio. We have great view. Be safe, I will answer your pm before the day is over.


 :wave :wave Woody, Janet, and the rest, have a safe Independence Day.


Hugs to all,

Lolita

We've been outside washing cars - finished just in time for the rain to start! One of the toys I got Lewis for his birthday is a power washer - and it works great - got everything washed and moved into the carport in no time.

Shannon - earlier I forgot to say that I hope Gypsie is O.K. I know how it is to have a pet you love very much not feel well - I am thinking about you!  :hugg

Lorraine and Tammy - glad you are not in jail!  :lol :clap I know that it was fun to see DWTS in person!

Janet - I missed you posting yesterday  :hugg

Son invited us down to his house for a cook-out, but we are sticking close to home - we are supposed to have a wall of water coming in from the Gulf (looks like Houston will get the rain, too  :bang ), so we plan to do fun things like clean up the office here at the house!

I have my car clean inside and outside now, so I can go ahead and pack for Friday - and dudley - I have three umbrellas in the car so far - may add a couple of extra ones!  :lmao

I'm praying the rain will go through Dallas early today, and that all will be fine by concert time!

See all of you a little later.  :ghug

High 84F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Locally heavy rainfall possible.
Tonight: Variable clouds with scattered thunderstorms. Low 71F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%. ------I KNOW HE HAS HELD CONCERTS IN THE POURING RAIN CAUSE HE WAS COVERED BUT AM WONDERING WHAT THE ORCHESTRA WOULD THINK ABOUT GETTING ALL THEIR INSTRUMENTS OUT  AND INTO THE RAIN JUST TO GET ON STAGE TO PLAY....ALL WE CAN DO IS WAIT AND WATCH....WAITING TO HEAR FROM PRISSY, MEESA OR MARILYN TO SEE WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING UP THERE.....

**FRISCO CONCERT SPOILER**

Prissy asked that I report in for her.  She called me and said a couple of words and hung up.  A few minutes later she called and said she was outside the park now that a guard had caught her on her phone and told her no cell phones allowed.

Prissy and JoAnn got to hear Clay practicing.  They said his hair looked a little long, he was in wonderful strong voice and he was singing a medley of older TV shows, such as a song from CHEERS, Welcome Back Kotter, The Jeffereson's theme song, a song from the Golden Girls.  They said it was starting to rain and Prissy said she would call me as soon as her Meet and Greet was over.  Will report in later after she calls.

i JUST SHOWED MY FRIEND THIS AND WE'RE BOTH FREAKING OUT :whoot :whoot :whoot

Pepe ~ that is sooo freaking awesome!!!! I love cheers and all that is listed!!! whoot can't wait!!!

Hi All, Happy 4th!


Lorraine and Tammy - that's my girls.  You gave the kind of report that I could just use the rest of my imagination with.   Yup, the hussies describe body parts like no one else!!!  I wish I could have gone too, but this ailment has just kept me down.  I can't wait to feel better.  I couldn't have done a midnight meat run if I wanted to.   When you first said Lorraine was so hot, her thighs were sticky, I got scared what else you were going to say! :lol :lol :lol  But, then I realized it was the temperature inside the theatre.  I am surprised because it was pretty cool out.   DWTS just had to be one awesome show.  There is always next year.  Those pancakes sounded so good.  I should have dropped 5 pounds by now, but NOPE!!!  I'll tell you, when I am over this, I am going to have a good exercise and eating regiment.  I think I will have to join curves.   I need to "have" to exercise since I paid for it.   I need to feel stronger mentally and physically.   I never realized how low my resistance must have been.   Well, carry on.  I will try for the cellcert too, if I can.  I have to figure out how to mute my cellphone.   My minutes are free after 9.

AC, I loved that picture so much of Einstein that I made it my desktop background.  I have always admired and loved that man's face.   It's just so interesting.  I don't think LeAnn will get Lorraine and Tammy excited, but I am sure it does something for you.   It wouldn't the CT girls, if they didn't say how they feel, right?  That's been the fun for years here.  I just wish I was in a fun mood. 

Lolita, missing you.  We sure dropped off the face of the earth with PM's.   Soon, I hope.   Will you try to listen to Clay tonight.

Pepe, thank you so much for telling us about Prissy.  She must be beside herself with excitement.  I can't even imagine it anymore.  It's been so long since I have been that crazy mode.   I wouldn't mind some of it right back at me though.   I am anxious to see him, although I was never crazy for the theme songs from tv shows.  Oh well, we will see.  I will email you when I am feeling better and can spend more time thinking.

Everyone at the concert, have a fantastic time.  I know you will!!

 :bouncy :bouncy yep PRISSY said all the songs sounded really upbeat!!!  Kimmy and Kat glad you sound like you like the medley.  I hope the audience is appreciative of Clay's voice.  Don't know what to expect!!

SPOILER










hELLO,

jOANN AND I ARE AT THE EMBASSY SUITES AND THERE IS A COMPUTER IN THE LOBBY!!  WE DID CALL PEPE EARLIER FROM PIZZA HUT PARK.  I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHERE MY MEET AND GREET WAS AND WE HEARD CLAY REHEARSING A MEDLEY OF TV THEME SONGS.  A GUARD CAME UP AND TOLD ME TO TURN OFF MY PHONE AND PUT AWAY MY CAMERA.  CLAY SOUNDS REALLY GOOD.  WE WERE EXCITED TO SEE HIM BRIEFLY REHEARSING.

I WAS DISTRESSED THAT THERE IS AN ORCHESTRA PRACTICING WITH CLAY AND I'M NOT DOWN THERE WITH THEM! :cry  BUT WE ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PREPARTY,  MEET AND GREET, CONCERT AND FIREWORKS.

PRISSY

Hello!  Yes, we got to see Clay on stage for at least 10 minutes before the security guard told us to leave.  Clay looked great.  Faded bluejeans and a long sleeve light green shirt.  His hair was at least to the collar in back and the front was brushed over to the side.  He was laguhing alot and also we saw Jerome, Qianna and Angela. EEEEEEEK!
  Can't wait for only a couple hours.
JoAnn

Janet, I hope your patch is helping some.  Are you still wearing it?   Does someone come and change it for you?

Boca,  it never stops does it?  I think that is why we have such a tendency of getting sick all too often.   I always thought getting to be a senior met less stress and more time to relax.  #%*#_%*_%*#% that!!!!!! :bigsmile

Prissy and JoAnn!!!! :purpbana :purpbana :purpbana  Go get him!!!  Knock those guards over!!!!   :lol :lol  We always have that bail money waiting for any of us that need it.   Seriously, have a fantastic time.  Come back with the details.  Say hi to Marilyn, Meesa and any of our other girls there. :hugg

Prissy ~ i hoep you guys have fun and don't get into too much trouble now!!! :lmao :lmao :naughty

Linda ~ fine don't say hi!!! :nener :nener :nener hi!!!!!!!!!

Hey pepe :wave

spoiler:  word has it clay's singing Lover All Alone :whoot excuse me while I tud continusly :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud

Hey Kimmie :wave

Kat, sorry, I am not myself this past week; just still too sick.  I am glad you are having a good time here.   Prissy must be glowing, huh?  I have met Clay too.  I didn't get a M&G, but Lorraine had the opportunity to bring someone with her a couple of years ago.  Out of all her friends, I knew her the longest, so I got to go.  It was very fast and organized, but still a thrill at the time.  Tammy will have to tell you her experience some day.   She also met thim the same day.  It all took place in PA.  Those were the good old times.

How come I can't remember if I have heard that song.   Geez, I am losing it.  Good thing Clay is back for awhile again.  He needs to rekindle my memory of songs.  I am sure it is beautiful!  I hope I will get to hear some of the cellcert tonight.   Don't worry about spoiling anything, you know we all get the news well before he even steps on the stage.  Claydar is everywhere!

I will seriously die during the cellcert if he sings it. I'm waiting to hear back from a friend if its true or not. The wait if kiiiiiiiiiiiiiilling me :lmao

hey kat!

 :wave

Well, as the song says "If you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans!''  :lol Electricity is off at the house - we are down at the office until it comes back on - still raining, and it is hot  at home without the air conditioner. Glad to see that Prissy and JoAnn are already at Frisco, but I didn't read the details because I am trying not to learn too much before Friday! It is going to be so hard to stay away from the Cell Cert tonight! I will pop in to say hello, though - hopefully, Prissy will post her Meet and Greet in that thread, so I won't have to wait to read it!

Off to pay some bills................................................

Linda ~ you know i was kidding right?!....thats my sarcasim so yeah! Yeah i bet she is..I would too...hey i got a question...like after the concert does he sign t-shirts and everything to everybody or most people????....anyhow oh thats cool you got to meet him by that....hahha yeah i so can not wait..everyone is like talking about it and im like grr i just want it to come! anyhow how are you?

Frankie ~ :wave hey girl!!!!!

Dudley, OMG, you have to do a rain dance!  Mine don't work lately!  Maybe that is why I am sick.  I have been dancing out in the street too much trying to make your rain go away!! :lol

I would been out to my niece's picnic today, but at least my husband is home for three days.   He'll get sick of looking at this ugly face by tomorrow.   :lol

Ok, off to rest for awhile.

Linda ~ awww your so funny!!! :lol :hugg

Of course, I know you are kidding.  Don't worry about that.  After the concert, you don't see Clay!!  Well, he might come out near the bus he came in, if he came in a bus, but you will still have a very, very long wait; sometimes, to no avail and then sometimes he may surprise and come out to shake some people's hands.  NO, never does he come out after a concert and sign anything!   The only time he may sign anything, if he has time, is at a Meet and Greet.  Meet and Greets are very, very organized, though, and if he doesn't have time, that won't happen either.   For the most part, he will try to sign at least one thing for the person that won a M&G.  We will have to wait and see what Prissy says because it's been awhile since he has had M&G's.   Maybe you will get one this year too.   Good luck.

Yeah, that's what the mirror is telling me!!!!  Really, I need a big powder puff slammed in my face with some serious makeup tricks right now, but I will settle for feeling better.  The next few days should help.  It better, Kat, or you better send someone to restrain me, because I will scream so loud, the earth will probably shift!!  See you later.

okay thats cool....darn! that sucks but i might get my mom to wait if i can :para .....anyhow aint the M&G's you have to be in the OFC? If so I'm not in the OFC....because my mom won't let me! :bang :bang :bang .....This is my 2nd concert I have been too..My 1st one was back  in 2003 when Justin Timberlake and Christina went on tour together! It was awesome but man the Christina concert was  WOAH! She had a guy dance in a cage with a speedo on i was like :jaw no way! lol and m,y dad took me for my 13th b-day..it was June 25,2003! whoot!!!!


hahahhhaha Linda gosh you crack me up!!! :lmao :lmao Don't worry i send Clay out to get you!! :wink :wink  :lmao :lmao See you later!!!

Hi everyone. I know everyone is all excited about the cellcert tonight and prissy meeting Clay, but can I ask that yall remember me and my Gypsie in your prayers. I was up until 3 A.M with her. She is so sick and there is nothing I can do for her. I will try to make it to the cellcert. That is if I do not go watch the fireworks.I may be asleep also. I just cried and cried last night over my gypsie. I need to get a few things done. I will check back later.

Good afternoon everyone.  Well plans changed a little, no Danny or Catherine but Jamie is here for a little while.  We ended up going to a restaurant as he was very hungry and I just ate an appetizer after eating such a big breakfast.

Tammykins - I miss you.  Sure wish you could have stayed a few more days. :hugg  I am sure we would have found things to do.

Prissy - I am getting goose bumps just reading your post.  I cannot wait until later to hear what our honey sounds like and hope the clack comes really fast.  Want to see our Clay.  It has been way to long.  Give everyone a hug from me.

Jan - wished the encounter could have been up close and personal but I am so happy I did go and see him.  What a cutie.  That smile, that a$$, the whole package. :thud :thud :thud

Pepe - thanks for the spoiler.  I cannot believe he is back.  I am hoping those old feelings come back again. :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy

Linda - Just rest and hopefully between all those meds you will feel better.  It sucks. :bang :bang :bang  I am trying to figure out how to put my cellphone on mute as well. :bduh :bduh :bduh  I may have to call cingular.

Janet - I know we can't compare Apollo to Clay.  Just needed a little diversion.  Glad to see you here my friend.

Jerry - What no response to my pm. :para

Kimmy - Oh my God I hope so.  Maybe he will sing more songs from his new upcoming cd.  I haven't heard from you about the tickets.  Anything new.

Woody - thats right at our age we earned the right to have some hot fun.

Lolita - Glad you enjoyed our report.  Hey we are honest right.

Frankie - Well never say never.  One of these times we will surprise you and ask for the bail money.

Kat - I knew I was going to miss Criss Angel.  Hopefully they will be repeated.  Hell he is such a bad boy and I like bad boys. :lol :lol :lol :lol

Dudley - Sure hope they don't cancel the show.  All those instruments my goodness can be a problem.

Boca - I hope and pray things just stop and nothing but good things happen.  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. :bang :bang :bang :bang

Well off to check out the cellphone.  Will be back later.

Hugs
Rainey

Shannon - I'm so sorry.  I sure hope Gypsie gets better.  Does the doctor know exactly what is wrong.

I just lost a post - they just diappear when I am typing! This happens very often when I am on the computer at the office! :bang

Kat - I was the first Claymaniac to win an OFC Meet and Greet with His Clayness - lots of us have won since! :clap
To read my Meet and Greet Review, go to the Juke Box Tour Thread, and look on Page 2 - there are also some M & G reviews from other members on Page 1 - it is an experience that none of us will ever forget!  :purpbana

Linda and Glory - you two depress me talking about the way you look - if you think you look bad, what must you think of me?

Shannon - I know what you are going through, and I wish I could help.  :hugg :hugg :hugg :hugg

Frannkie ~ oh thats cool you was the 1st ones :clap :clap whoot whoot!...antyhow how are you?

Clay was practicing the Golden Girls song?  :bouncy

I think I love him.

I own all seven seasons on DVD and watch them ALL the time.

Is there clack yet? :lol

~~~~~~~~~

Shannon - :hugg

jDSJFBVkaj I'm getting so excited with all these spoliers!!!!!!!!!

Bills are paid!

 Kat - I'm doing really well - if the electricity had not gone out at the house, I would be packing for Houston right now! It will probably come back on in a few hours, though, and I will get it all done - I don't like to wait until the last minute to do things!

Jan (and everybody else, too!) I wish you were all going to be in Houston!

It is POURING rain now - where is that ARK?!?!?!  :para

Kat - I am sure there will be repeats for sure.  Hey it was Apollo time.

Frankie - Oh no rain again. :bang :bang  It doesn't look good for tonights concert either. :bang :bang :bang  Sure hope the band won't get rained on.

Well I am going to get a power nap until later.

Hugs
Rainey

You are very pretty Frankie.  I guess we are all very critical of ourselves aren't we.

Lorraine - I think all women (and girls) are too critical of the outside part of ourselves - I'm trying not to waste the rest of my life doing that!  I just want to be as healthy as possible for a long as possible - I am working on that! Have a good nap, so you can stay up and cell cert tonight!  :purpbana

SITTING AT MY FRONT DOOR LOADING UP MY ANIMALS  :lol  :bduh  :bang  :bang

report from a friend -- the sky is bue and no dark clouds!!! :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy the weather might be good for the concert!!!

Well no luck so far.  I was trying to lay down and then I get two phone calls so I am up for the night.  Well until after the cellcert at least.

Well hopefully we all can work out this cellcert conference call.  I am still confused.  Since Clay is sleeping maybe I will try again.  Check in later.

Hugs
Rainey

dudley -  :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap Thanks for telling me where the Ark is!  :lol

Lorraine - I am trying to get Shirl/ClayObsessed on that conference call - home she can listen in  :cross :cross :cross :cross :cross- especially since she will not be able to get to a concert this year.

We are finally back home - power is on for now......................

                                WELL I AM HOME EARLY ONLY AN 11HR. DAY :lmao :lmao


                                         I AM PUMPED ABOUT TONIGHT BE BACK IN A FEW.

Just got caught up  again. I will either be  here or at the Clayboard for the concert tonight if nothing happens. I am hurting worse than i was this morning but nothing can keep me away from this first cellcert.  I can't wait to hear what  he sings. I sure  hope he sings "Lover All Alone"
LINDA,  I have missed so much that I didn't realize you are sick.  I hope you feel better soon.

:wave Lorraine & Frankie.  I am confussed about the cert conference too. 

Not sure if I will be able to be at the cellcert tonight.  My service has been running so slow latley and freezing up on me.

I wanted to stop by and tell eveyone to have a good time tonight.  Hopefully there will be some photos soon.  Have a good evening.  Do hope to see you there tho! :hugg

HE IS SINGING LOVER ALL ALONE.....

Elliot is on the Captital fourth now and he sounds fabulous.. :shappy :shappy :shappy

PRISSY just called about her Meet and Greet, just posted what she told me on the cellcert thread!!!   You will find this exciting time on the middle of page. 3

JANET - I AM SO HAPPY YOU WILL BE LISTENING IN ON THE CELLCERT.  I HOPE BY LISTENING TO HIM IT WILL EASE YOUR PAIN MY FRIEND. :hugg

TAMMYKINS - NEXT TIME WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE IT A LONGER VISIT FOR SURE.  GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE MOVIE.  NEXT TIME WE MUST GO TO SEE A MOVIE BUT MAKE IT EARLIER SO YOU WON'T FALL ASLEEP.

GERALDINE - I AM SURE THERE IS GOING TO BE PLENTY OF CLACK TOMORROW.  THIS SHOULD BE VERY INTERESTING.

GLORY - I THINK WE ARE ALL GETTING PUMPED UP.  THE NIGHT SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING UNTIL WE CAN CALL IN AND SEE WHATS HAPPENING.

Clay will be back with us in less than an Hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :purpbana I hope everyone can get onto the conference call O.K. (Not Me!) I am holding out for Friday!!!!

Pepe - I read about the cell cert - sounds wonderful, but I'm praying that Prissy at least got a group picutre!

See all of you a little later!

FRANKIE, no group pictures just the picture posted on the OFC

Hi everyone. I just woke up from a much needed nap. I will be taking gypsie back to the vet tomorrow. She is still so sick. I called the vet and she called me back and said I could give hher a baby asprin. I hopefully will make it for the cell cert.

WELL THAT WAS INTERESTING.  WHAT A WAY TO SPEND THE END OF JULY 4TH.  I AM SO GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO WORK UNTIL MONDAY.

JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO CLACK REALLY SOON.  I CHECK ON THE OFC TO SEE IF ANY PICS OF THE MEETS AND GREETS AND SO FAR NOTHING.

SWEET CLAY DREAMS.

HUGS
RAINEY

Hey all. Summery time.

Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!!! :usa

And Happy Concert time!!! :fruit :yahoo :clayfan

Meesa, Marilyn, Prissy, JoAnn and anyone else going to see Clay tonight, have a fun time. Can't wait to hear your reports.

I listened to the cellcert and what we could hear Clay sounded wonderful. :thud

Thanks to Marilyn, Susy, Pamela, Clandy and anyone else that was involved for doing this for us. :notworthy Even though we couldn't hear everything glad we could at least hear a few songs.

OMG I can't wait to see him sing Like a Virgin and Sexy Back. :lmao And Lover All Alone, Without You, God Bless The USA and Because You Love Me was beautiful. Surprised though he didn't sing 1000 Days or Invisible.

It was funny we could hear some talking going on the phone. :lol

Woody-You were up late last night.

Have a nice time at the cookout with your family at your older son's.

Boca-Praying for Nikki. Thought you said yesterday that your ex-SIL was harrassing her. It's his girlfriend. That's horrible she's been calling her that many times in one day. She does sound crazy. Hope the poilce can arrest her.

That's sad it could had been their 2nd Anniversary but thank god they aren't married anymore.

Hope it could end up a nicer day if you go to your neighbor's.

When you get your root canel, hope you won't be in much pain.

Janye-Have fun with your family at the BBQ.

Angela-Have a great day with your parents at their beach house.

Thanks Frankie.

That's too bad you weren't able to go to your son's cookout today cause you are getting a lot of rain.

Sorry you losted your power at home all day but that's good you got it back on tonight.

It's a good thing with all this rain in Texas that the Houston concert is indoors.

If Shirl can't see Clay hearing a cellcert is the next best thing. I heard her voice tonight on the cellcert call.

Dudley said that the concert tonight was shorter and a little differant then what he will do in Houston.

Prissy-Can't wait to hear more about your Meet and Greet. :bouncy I'm so happy for you. You deserved it. :hugg You will always remember this day for the rest of your life.

You, Skip, JoAnn and Jennie have a wonderful time at the concert.

Glad you and JoAnn could check in from your hotel. That's awesome you got to see Clay rehearsing earier. He sounds gorgeous and I think that's too funny he's singing TV theme songs. :lol

Thanks Pepe for letting us know what Prissy told you and a little bit about her Meet and Greet. I bet he was wonderful and so sweet with her. Sounded a little differant. Sounded cozy everyone that was there were sitting around on a couch next to him while he was talking.That's too bad though she didn't have a camera to take a picture with him.

Jan-Sounded like a beautiful place to eat on your Anniversary.

Tammy and Rainy-Glad you had a great time at the DWTS concert.

That's too bad about your seats were high up but glad the binoculars worked well. :wink

Tammy-Glad you enjoyed the Transformers movie.

Janet-Missed you yesterday. Understand if you couldn't post if you are hurting bad. That's good to hear you felt a little better today but sorry it was only for a short time.

Jerry-Enjoy your day off.

Great skit with you and Jan.  :lol

Thanks for the pics and songs.

Poor you getting sick after Tammy and Rainy talking about Apolo. Glad posting pics of LeAnn and the freeze ray made you feel better. :wink

Glory-Sorry you got up so early and your tummy hurts. Hope you are feeling better now.

You are hilarious talking to yourself. :roflmao

Rainy-It's a good thing you didn't need any bail money. :lol Apolo sounded hot.

That's too bad you couldn't see Catherine or Danny today but that's good you had a nice lunch with Jamie.

Linda-Hope you can feel better soon.

Have a nice time at your nieces picnic.

Dudley-Pretty fireworks and beautiful 4th of July blends of Clay.

Thanks for the weather update for Frisco. Thank the lord it didn't rain.

Thanks for posting all the spoilers you heard and all the reports in the cellcert thread.

Welcome Lolita.

Enjoy the fireworks tonight from your patio.

Lindsey-I want clack NOW too.  :lol

Clandy-Thanks for the PM about the badges. Love the look of the new Logo.

Kimmy-Congrats to your friend getting a Meet and Greet!!!

I'm going to cry when I see Clay sing Lover All Alone in person.

Shannon-I'm so sorry about Gypsie still being sick and you have to take her back to the vet tomorrow. I'll pray for her that she can feel better soon. You hang in there with her. :hugg

Kat-Missed you too and glad your house is ok.

Have fun with your cousin.

Heather was at the cellcert for a little while tonight. It was good to see her back.

Thanks for the gorgeous pics of our man Woody, Rainy and Dudley.

Can't wait for clack and pics from tonight.  :bouncy

Tiffany ~ I posted a M&G report from someone that was there tonight and Clay said that this show was a little different since it was much shorter.  He said the Houston show will have more including old album stuff.  It will be interesting to see how tonight's show will differ from the actual tour concert.  I know there will be an intermission somewhere which there wasn't tonight.

:bigsmile  Prissy's initial recall of her meet and greet and her day at the venue and concert are up in the Frisco Meet and Greet thread that she started :yes

Jerry ~ yeah i read it....that is so awesome!! DUDE I GOT 2 DAYS AND IM LIKE FREAKING OUT!!!! LOL
WHAT'S UP JERRY?

PRISSY's M&G POST (http://www.claymaniacs.com/forums/index.php/topic,14516.msg827477.html#msg827477)

 That's the link for those who don't have the time to track it down. Maybe she'll copy and paste it on here, too?

Kat: I'm eating some things i bought at Taco Bell. Their drive-through was open until 1am and so i left the house a little after 11 and drove over. I just finished eating a steak quesadilla and am working on a few soft shell taco's. I bought some hard shell taco's as well but i'll save those for later...

Jerry ~ yum yum! :yum hey want some of my strawberry b-day cake? it has strawberries in the middle and white cake! its good!! lol

dudley ~ those are hott!!! HEY did you guys have fireworks too celebrate the 4th?? just wondering!!! im glad you had fun!

 I was in the process of saving some of those pictures when i saw them on the cell-cert thread...my concert isn't as close away as your's is...i read the set-list that was posted. I don't know if it'll be the same set of songs, though, when each of us see him. My sister will enjoy it if he happens to sing all those theme songs :yes My concert is July 21st.

 Okay...i plan on doing the same thing late Saturday night after the concert i'm going to. Well, i'll post what i can remember. I always carry a little note-pad thing and an ink pen if i happen to be anywhere that i'd want to comment about later.

Tiffany: I'm glad you liked that Jan-Bizarro skit from earlier and my punishment of Lorraine and Tammy with my freeze ray. It wasn't actually me, it was Captain Cold. I think Jan liked the Bizarro skit, too :bigsmile It was all in fun and artist-driven with paint and colors, etc etc. 

Me! I think im be different im gonna be sooo hypered up and this is my 1st time seeing him so yeah!!!! its going to be fun and one hot experience!!!

It's like the Clay Aiken of old with the thick, red hair yet the picture was from yesterday's concert or rehearsal :yes

Informally dressed, too...no blacktie affair...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/ACcountryFan/clayaiken26/IMG_0097.jpg)

hahha soo he went back to his old hair????....i guess he has and i just realized it! :lmao :lmao anyhow yay!!! love the new and old hair..both ways it hott!

 I had been reading posts from others off and on saying his hair wasn't the way it was on Idol at the time that he changed his hairstyle to all dark and punky...the way it appears on the ATDW cover, either...but i wasn't expecting it to look almost identical to what everyone recognizes as "Clay hair" and am glad it's back...but for how long... :dunno

This was posted by Clandy first over on the cell-cert thread...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/ACcountryFan/clayaiken26/IMG_0344.jpg)

hahahahahhaha your so funny Jerry!!!

well i think im heading! i had a long day and have a long day tomorrow love you guys and sweet clay dreams! :hugg

:whootwave A late MERRY FOURTH OF JULY Dahlings!!! :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy :hugg

Just wanted to come and say howdy. :bigsmile Prissy sounded like she had a grand meet and greet. :bouncy So lucky . . . I would've hopped on the couch with Clay. :angel :lol :lol

I skimmed, I'm a skimmer nowadays. :para So, hello to everyone. :wave I miss the lot of you when I don't get around to here. :hugg

Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer was very good Friday (or Saturday, which ever day I went :lmao). It was quite a bit better than the first one. First one, just really kind of cheesey, though the second one is a bit too, but it was pretty good. :bouncy And for a silver man (a CG one at that :lol), the Silver Surfer's pretty cute. :slick :lmao

Jerry Skit!, have you seen any Marvel movies? Stan Lee makes a small appearance in all of them, well, the character ones that he created anyway. :giggle It's grand fun. :bouncy

Fourth was pretty fun. :bouncy I went geocaching with friend Simon (it's basically kind of like treasure hunting :lol Just call me Cap'an Carla, arrr :lmao), and I went and watched fireworks with him and his family. Was fun. :bouncy I still have a giant firework to set off. :angel I couldn't tonight, was too late when I got home. Hehe. . .

But anyway, I just wanted to come say hullo. :smile I must have sleep. :tired

Love you all so much :hugg

Carla :tobed

P.S. My sunburns better. :bigsmile

P.S.S I have quite the dreadful farmer's tan going. :para :lmao :lmao

P.S.S.S. My choice words as of late have been dink and pifel. :para :lol I don't know why. I'm still a spiffy sayer as always, though. :wink Just thought you'd like to know. :lmao

P.S.S.S.S. I want to play with Clay's hair even more now with it like that. :giggle :lol Okay, off I go, for real . . . well, soon anyway. :lol

 :wave  I thought somebody would be up and here by now! I am just going to bed - see y'all later in the morning!

Frankie what are you up for this early???  have a good day

I skimmed the cellcert....am d/l 2 videos that are up...can't wait to hear Prissy's report...

Have a great day everyone!

GOOD EARLY MORNING!!!  :ghug

 :wave Jayne!!! I guess I just missed Frankie.   :wave late night Carla!!!

I woke up at 3:30 for my usual middle of the night bathroom break and had to see if Prissy posted about the M&G and I see she did!!!  Sounds like it was great!!!

I didn't do the cellcert either, as it was the holiday and all.  It'll be nice to have the house to myself again today.   :wink  I have several pages here to read and I am going to read the cellcert.  I am anxious to hear what songs Clay sang.   :bouncy
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Hi Woody!

I'm watching the 2 d/l's....SPOILER:   I wonder how Paula feels...Clay doing her song!

Jayne - Thanks....I'm going to have to go over and d/l what I can.   :sonic :thumb

Linda - I sure hope you start to feel better soon.   :hugg

Shannon - I will be sure to keep you and Gypsie in my prayers.   :hugg  Please let us know what the vet says today.

Dudley - Great 4th of July Clay pix, and great concert pix, too.  :bouncy  I haven't read the cellcert yet.  is Clay wearing flip flops???   :lol

Frankie - Glad you got your power back on.  I missed the cellcert, but because it was the holiday.  I am going to try to dial in for the next one.   :bouncy

Pepe - Thanks for posting Prissy's info for us.  I am SO happy for her.   :clap

 :wave and  :hugg for everyone!!!

I'm going to read a little of the cellcert and then go back to bed.   :tobed
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Hey Tammy...have a good day

Good morning Jayne, Woodstock & Tammy.

Jayne,  Enjoy your day!

Woodstock, Your up early too. I woke up cause it is so hot and humid in here.  Rain last night and today.  I hope for nicer weather for you.  Have a good day. :hugg

Tammy, no walk for me either this morning,  raining out. Yucky weather!  I can use my Aunt's stepper today to.  Have a good day.

Jerry, Hello, when you get here.  Did you have a nice 4th yesterday.  I went over to my sister's and watched them do fireworks.  Seemed everyone around us had the same idea in the neighborhood.  It was awesome.  Be careful if you go out today.

Lorraine, yep, I saw a picture of Clay already this morning.  Missed the cellcert but, just seeing him in a photo made it ok. He still looks great!  Have a good day, my friend.

Well I guess I better get busy here and take my trash out, then get ready to go to my Aunt's.

Have a wonderful day everyone still waking up! :hugg

i just got done watching the uptempo medley and it was so good. I'm not going to give anything away, but the way he got into character for each song was so cool. i literally almost fell out of my chair watching it i was laughing so hard. he is such a nut.  :lmao :thud

 :wave Hello Carla Sketch!! The only part of me that sunburns is my arms and face...especially since i wear pants all year long. Well, not all the time...but out in public or outside i do. We have strange neighbors on all sides of our house so i stay dressed as much as possible. I hadn't seen, believe it or not, any of the later comic book movies :eek :eek It's because i work at nights now and sleep through the day i have little time to watch movies or anything except if i'm in bed. I post all the time about throwing in a DVD of cartoons as i'm laying down. I also put the blame on our cable system not airing any new movies...they want us to pay to view movies. Since i live at the house, my parent's have the bigger say so in what's on the TV line-up and they didn't want to pay extra for the movie channels like HBO and Showtime and all the others. The movie theatre's aren't my thing...the last time i was at the movies was when the first NINJA TURTLES movie was released :yes My brother had won free tickets in school for some reason? The movie was playing at the local movie theatre in the town i grew up in that's no longer standing. I'm 30 but i write like i'm talking about something that took place in the 1930's :para Is one of your new words you are using "dink" as in Dinky Dalton? Winky Dink and You? Mr Dinkle from SHIRT-TALES...what does pifel mean? Lorraine kept wishing she'd be able to set off a giant firework, too :yes

Charlene: Hello...i looked out my window and seen some of the firework things shooting up in the sky. They were being set off in the woods in back of my house. Our electric went off for a split-second last night but the lightning storm continued...i didn't think anything would happen because of the previous storms we've had, the electric remained on...anyway, i had the computer off from the time i left the OCD earlier until this morning. I'm shutting things down again around 9. I go back to work tonight. It's paynight, though!

 :wave Tammy, Charlene, and Candace!!!

I am still awake.  :lol  I just read all 23 pages of the cellcert.  WOW, quite interesting song choices.  It sounds like he might be trying out some things and then looking for feedback.  Should be interesting...

Tammy - S*rry it's raining.  I know you'd rather be outside.  I have some walking tapes that I like to do sometimes...when I'm motivated.   :lol  Which, unfortunately, isn't often enough.  When it's hot out I like doing the walking tape indoors with a fan blowing on me.   :wink

Charlene - I was sleeping SO well and then I just SUDDENLY woke up.  :bang  I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, so I just get up and do something.  I've been up since 3:30 so I am going to need to go back to bed.

Candace -  Good to see you.  :hugg  I couldn't get any of the downloads to work.   :bang  I'll try again later.

Tennis is on already...Wimbledon.  I LOVE tennis.  Yesterday I found the Wimbledon website and it posts all the scores of the ongoing matches and you can just keep refreshing the screen to see the progress of the matches. It was fun!!!  MY favorite, Justine Henin, won her match and is in the semi-finals.  I hope she wins it all!!!

OK, back to bed for a few or I won't be good for much today.  :naughty
Woodstock :bouncy X120

 :wave AC!!!

I see you've saved some of the new pictures already.  I like Clay's hair.  I like that it's red again.   :bigsmile  I hope you enjoyed your day off.   :bouncy  My daughter had the day off but didn't get paid for it, so that made her mad.   :bang
Woodstock :bouncy X120

 Woodstock: Fortunately, we got paid for not being there last night. One of the few good things about working there is you get paid holiday's. I was skimming through some of Frankie's last posts in her profile and was reading one of her additions on the News Network, a Q&A with Clay where he once again embraces his career and clearly knows who his fans are and what sound works for him, vocally :yes

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/ACcountryFan/clayaiken26/IMG_0065.jpg)

 :wave

Good Morning! It is hard to be on this site and not learn anything about Clay's concert!  :lol I just posted Frisco concert information and a Frisco Set List from Clay's Daily Double in the ANN - without reading either one!  :lmao

I will be in Krista's cave today, as I try to not see or hear anything about the new tour - except when I find an article for the ANN - I just searched 8 Texas newspapaers looking for a concert review - nothing yet!  :bduh

Hope everybody will have a great Thursday - I am going to pack for Houston!  :purpbana

Good Morning everyone.  I am confused as to what day today is but I think it is Thursday.   :lol :lol :lol :lol  I have been up for a while just lurking and checking out some of the pics from last night.

Kat - I actually got to see Criss last night when I was trying to fall asleep after the cellcert.

Dudley - Thanks for posting the pics of Clay.  Very nice.

Carla - Hey Carla the skimmer. :lol :lol :lol  Nice to see you as always.

Jayne - Prissy gave such a nice report of her M&G with Clay.  I am so happy she won.

Tammykins - thanks for the pics of my other honey. :thud :thud :thud :thud  Have a good day and we will talk later.

Geraldine - Well it poured all night and even this morning so I am going to just do some housework and try and walk later.  Have a good day yourself.

Woody - Enjoy our tennis.  I was never a big tennis fan except years ago when Andre Agassi was playing. :thud :thud :thud  I know, I know.  Another young one back then. :lol :lol :lol

Frankie - not sure when you are leaving but enjoy my friend and I hope you get Clayed BIG TIME. :hugg

 Frankie: Maybe the concert review will appear in the papers later today or tomorrow? From reading concert reviews written about Barry, some of the reviewers would wait a couple of days before submitting a review. Also, whatever the main newspaper is in that area, perhaps didn't assign a critic to the concert...it's hard to tell...plus with it being July 4th yesterday, the critics probably will dream-up a review to publish after reading fan reports on-line...you never know... :para

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/ACcountryFan/clayaiken26/L_IMAGE.jpg)

 :wave  Tammy, AC, and Frankie!!!

I keep trying to get away from this place.   :lmao

Dudley just posted an interesting interview with a Houston newspaper and Clay, of course. 
Frankie - I don't know if she put it in the ANN, but that would be a good place for it.

Tammy - I know QVC carries some of her exercise tapes, as that's where I got mine.  HECK, you did 4 miles!!!  I'm impressed.   :yes

AC - Hubby gets all paid holidays.  We don't at school.   :no But at least we get them all off.

Well...since I'm STILL wide awake, I may run my errands and get them over with.

See you all later!!!!!
Woodstock :bouncy X120

JAYNE, hope  you get some good downloads!  I can't wait till you make the DVD's, would love to hear Clay sing some of those songs!!!  Someone said last night she didn't like the selection of songs but with such a variety of people there was last night I think he choose wisely as there was something for everyone to listen too.  Loved his hair!!!  He looked like the Clay I love!!! 

DUDLEY, thanks my friend for giving us all the information you could I for one really appreciated it as I was not on the conference call.  According to the weather report this morning you had better get that Ark ready tons of rain for you again today!! 

PRISSY, are you still floating on Cloud 9 ?  Did you get any sleep last night?  What a wonderful day you and JoAnn had yesterday and so glad it did not rain on the concert! 

FRANKIE, have a grand time in Houston!!

Good Morning!

I'm at the computer in the lobby of the Embassy Suites.  JoAnn will be down soon.  I didn't sleep that well.  Lots on my mind, as you can imagine!! :bigsmile  I did write a review in the M&G Frisco thread, and added a little to it this morning.

Hugs,
Prissy

:wave Morning everyone!

Had to come to my safe place.

I know all of you can find the humor in the "upbeat" songs from the concert last night. My family ... not so much. I thought the Baby Got Back and Like A Virgin songs were hysterical!! I was laughing so hard everyone came running to see what the commotion was about. Within 30 seconds ... "He's so gay;" "Why is he trying to rap?;" "What is he doing?"

Why can't it just be funny, people? :sigh I guess I'll wait until I get home to watch the rest of the clack. How annoying.

 Lindsay: :lol I'd say your family has no sense of humor at all...or at the least, no appreciation for silliness. I'm sure they'd say the same about Barry, too, when he used to run around on stage in an exaggerated frilly outfit during "Copacabana" instead of them getting the comedy of it all. Who knows!?

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/ACcountryFan/emoticons/S3708_01.jpg)

Charlene: This is very ironic!! Remember my post on my review thread the other day where i was talking about the Million Dollar Band on HEE-HAW? Well, the news was released this morning that Boots Randolph passed away Tuesday at the age of 80.

 :wave

Woody - I did find dudley's interview last night as I was searching for News - it is in the ANN, too! A really good article!  :clap

Lorraine, Pepe, and everybody else - I will be leaving for Houston tomorrow morning - it is two hours south to daughter Amy's house, then a little over an hour west from her house to Houston - we are going early to (hopefully!) meet up with dudley, Bozena, Prissy, and JoAnn before the Preparty. I know that Meesa and Marilyn may be with some of the KC group, but I'm pretty sure we will all be in the same hotel - the Hyatt. I also think that most of us are going to the same Preparty - there are several going on. the Louisiana Clay Fans are having one of their own in the Hyatt - but I will not be going to that - I opted for the "Official" Preparty instead! I'm hoping somebody will stay up and talk to me after the concert - I can never sleep! In Atlanta, Daine and Amy slept while I stayed up all night and journaled about my Meet and Greet - nobody would stay up with me!!!!!!!

Lewis is out (in the rain) helping neighbors down the road search for their little rat terrier. She got scared and ran away last night when some fireworks went off (they had let her outside to potty). They have been driving and walking all night looking for her - I bet she is hiding underneath something - I hope they find her.

dudley - I just saw on the News that there is danger of a river overflowing its banks in Houston  :hugg Maybe I should really bring a boat!  :bang

I will not get anything done today - I just know it!

My physical therapist was here this  morning and he got on the phone with Hoveround and handed the phone over to me and i gave them all the information and they said they would fax it to Dr. Kursch and that all he had to do was sign the papers  and send them back to them and I would get an electric wheelchair so it's all up to him. Surely he won't block it.
I am going to read a little on here and then get off of here in case anybody should call me. TTYL

                                            wow THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY OFF TO WORK TTYL.

 :wave EVERYONE THIS IS Q VERY QUICK DRIVE BY POST---I JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO & HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL.
I VERY MUCH ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE CONCERT OVER THE PHONE--ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T CATCH EVERYTHING , IT STILL WAS FUN & GREAT TO HEAR CLAY'S VOICE THRU LOTS OF US SCREAMING FANS  :lol. AL I COULD THINK WAS  POOR CLAY, IS THAT ALL HE HEARS WHEN HE SINGS  IS ALL OF US SCREAMING LIKE MANIACS  :lmao :lmao.

I ASO LOVED WATCHING ELLIOT SING AT THE CAPTIAL--TAMMY  THANKS FOR THE LINK  :hugg.  HE WAS TERRIFIC.

JANET, I AM SURE YOUR DOCTOR WILL SIGN OFF ON THE CHAIR  :hugg.  PLEASE TAKE CARE & HOPE YOU ARE PAIN FREE TODAY.

SASHA, DID YOU HEAD FOR WORK TODAY?

LORRAINE,  THAT WAS FUN LAST NIGHT--GLAD I DECIDED TO LEAVE THE BEACH A DAY EARLIER.  HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.

PRISSY, YOUR M&G EXPERIENCE SOUNDED GREAT!!

SHANNON, PRAYERS FOR GYPSIE.

LINDA,LL HOPE THE COUGH HAS STOPPED NOW---MY DAD WAS ON A MED THAT HAD A SIDE EFFECT OF MAKING HIM COUGH--BUT IT ALSO GOT HIM WEAKER  :para--SO GLAD YOU ARE DOING A LITTLE BETTER NOW  :hugg

WELL I WISH I HAD TIME TO ADDRESS EVERYONE, BUT I AM VERY BEHIND ON WHAT I NEED TO ACCOMPLISH TODAY.

HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING TERRIFIC--WISH I HAD TIME TO POST TO EVERYONE.

HUGS TO ALL,
ANGELA

WELL I AM OFF AND RUNNING.  REAL LIFE ERRANDS.  WILL CHECK IN A BIT LATER.

FRANKIE - HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME AS I AM SURE YOU WILL.  I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT YOU.

JANET - THAT IS GREAT THAT YOU WILL BE GETTING THAT WHEELCHAIR.  I HOPE CLAY MADE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BETTER MY FRIEND.

ANGELA - WELL IT REALLY WASN'T GOOD BEACH WEATHER.  HAVE A GOOD DAY AND DON'T SHOP UNTIL YOU DROP. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

LINDA - FEEL BETTER AND MAYBE CHECK OUT THAT NEW DR.

TAMMYKINS - CALL ME ON MY CELL PHONE IF YOU NEED ME.   :slickNEW NUMBER WON'T BE UNTIL MONDAY.

OKAY I AM SO OUT OF HERE.

HUGS
RAINEY

Hi Everyone,

Well, I thought it was a good attempt for the cellcert last night no matter what happened.   At least we know Clay did a good job.   I might have not chosen some of the songs, but, hey, it's his stage time and the people will love him.  I thought he looked pretty good.  Let's face it, some of the pictures we have of him he is still in his growing stage.  I think he has put on a little weight.  Before we thought he was too thin, but he is almost 30!  He has to have some changes.  I sure thought he looked better than the last time I saw him on Kimmel doing that advertisement for the mustache. :lol   I can understand why he is nervous.  If you take a person out of their singing environment for awhile and then put him on the stage again, it can't be too easy.  I think he will only get better and better as each concert goes by.   He still has that smooth voice.  I used to think I would sell my house for that man.  Boy, I am glad I calmed down!!!!  I must have grown up too!!!!  I'll be excited to go to NH and see him, but I won't think about selling my house anymore.   :lol

Frankie, have a wonderful time and safe trip.  Come back and tell us all about it.   I just wish the concerts weren't so far away so we could see other a little more often, but we have to go and do what we have to when it comes to seeing Clay, especially since it is a tour that takes him farther away from  CT this year.   Show him the love, Frankie!!!

Kat, well if you ever meet Clay, you will know what Prissy meant about not sleeping.  The M&G goes by so fast and then  you try to remember all of it when it's time to lie your head down on a pillow; not a good time, but, hey, who can stop the sub-concious when it wants to keep you awake!!!  Clay can do that to you sometimes.

Prissy, I loved your M&G recap.   I wish I could have been a fly on the wall, or even better, been right there with you.  Isn't it surreal??  I bet you felt like you were in your twenties again?  Wait, we still do feel that way, right?? :hugg

Tammy, I downloaded the link for Elliott.  I know it will be amazing.  I am so happy for him!!!

Angela, I agree; some pills can bring you down even more.   Is it my age?!?!?!?! :lol   Maybe I need to be put on some new kind of batteries?  I will have to beam myself up to my past leader for some advice.   I don't have a lot of patience with this thing I have.   My poor hubby has three days off too.  Poor guy!! :wink

Janet, I, too, am glad that you are getting your wheelchair.  Doctors don't usually have a problem getting whatever you need when you are in so much pain.    You probably should have had it a long time ago.

Lolita, thinking of you in sunny CA.   There is no sun in CT!!!   Everyone is afraid to come near me!!! :lol

My daughter is going to stop by quickly, but I don't want her to stay too long since she is pregnant and I have germs.  I think she got me a little present from the Cape so I would stop whining about being sick.    :lol

Shannon, I am thinking of you and Gypsie as I could through this Cushing's disease with my dog Samantha.  I don't think much is going to help her.  She pants very fast all day long and at night, drinks a lot of water and then has to go outside alot.  I don't think she is in pain right now, but you can just feel her bones when You pet her now.  It's sad.   We just love our animals so much!!  Good luck.

Well, I hope you are all having a good day and I will see you later.

Lorraine, so far we all think alike, but it's been that way pretty much in the past years.  I am sure glad I didn't sell my house; hubby wouldn't have appreciated that either!  I had to grow up.  For awhile there, I didn't think I would; not that I don't still think like someone in their twenties, but I don't put it all into action like I did either.   :lol

Evelyn, are you around? thinking of you.

Pepe, thank you for all the info you passed on to us from Prissy.  Wouldn't you have loved to see her face?

BREAKING NEWS:

Houston.....he...is...here  :purpbana  :purpbana  :purpbana  :purpbana and All Is Well...........

Quite by accident, I saw where they were staying on my way out of downtown this morning. I wouldn't have put them there, but what do I know? I'm just glad they arrived safely.  

BOZENA HAS ARRIVED SAFELY AND IS IN THE HYATT IN DOWNTOWN HOUSTON  :purpbana  :purpbana   :purpbana

TAMMY....BIG BROTHER 8 PREMIERS TONIGHT  :purpbana  :purpbana  :purpbana  :purpbana

 :wave

dudley - I would have bet anything that Clay was spending the day at Six Flags - he does love those dangerous rides! If so, I hope he won't expect us to watch video of him trying to kill himself like we had to the last time he was in Houston! Isn't that where Meesa and Marilyn are today, too? I sem to remmeber that Marilyn said she was not getting on a roller coaster!

Linda and Shannon - I hope both of your dogs improve.

Janet - you need that chair - your doctor should sign the papers!  :soapbox

AC- I think you are right about the newspapers - the concert may have ended too late to get a review in the morning papers - I wonder if Dallas has an afternoon papaer - I will have to check for reviews again this afternoon.

I just went to the bank and got some extra money out (Clay shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I'm going to start packing now - this time I plan to actually remember to pack the binoculars! I also have all of the hotel, preparty,  map, and theatre information printed out, and I have all of that together with my list of Claymaniac phone numbers (as Prissy says - my travel packet!). I also plan to call OnStar to see if the maps I've printed are correct this time - the last time I was in Houston, MapQuest had me totally lost! I wonder if Clay will be out at the buses - after all, he has a long drive to Tulsa, and may not have time. I stood out in the rain in Jacksonville last December, and I can do it again!  :lol

Hope everybody is having a good Thursday - it seems like Monday!

I just remembered that this morning.. :shappy :shappy

JUST STOPPING BY QUICKLY.  LOOKS LIKE THE TEXAS PEOPLE ARE HOPPING.  ENJOY OUR CLAY AS I AM SURE YOU ALL WILL.

FRANKIE - EXTRA MONEY FOR A CLAY SHIRT I SEE.  IT IS A NICE SHIRT AND WILL SO NICE ON YOU.

TAMMYKINS - IS IT AS HOT THERE AS IT IS HERE.  YIKES WHERE DID ALL THIS HUMIDITY COME FROM.

PRISSY - YOU WILL BE ON CLOUD 9 FOR QUITE A WHILE.  NO PICS YET OVER ON THE OFC.

KAT - CRISS IS ALWAYS INTENSE. :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud  HE IS SUCH A BAD BOY.

LINDA - THANK GOD WE DIDN'T SEE OUR HOUSES.  I AM STILL PAYING OFF THE NORMAL BILLS THAT ADDED UP OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS.    LOOKS LIKE WE ALL DO FEEL THE SAME WAY.  BUT THATS OKAY.  IT IS STILL FUN.  WE JUST GREW UP A TINY BIT.

DUDLEY - GLAD BOZENA MADE IT THERE SAFE AND SOUND.  HAVE A GREAT TIME ONE AND ALL.

WELL THE GUY NEXT DOOR GAVE ME SOME SHRIMP SO I JUST MADE A NICE LITTLE STIR-FRY, NOTHING FATTENING.  SEE EVERYONE LATER.

HUGS
RAINEY

I HAVE A FEELING THAT WITH ALL THE RAIN AND FLOODING ALL OVER TEXAS THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR WEEKS/MONTHS THEY PROBABLY DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND COME ON DOWN HERE LAST NIGHT WEEKS AGO AND HAD ALREADY MADE THEIR RESERVATIONS.....AND HE HAS BEEN TO SIX FLAGS....AND THE CHANCE OF RAIN IN DALLAS TODAY ISN'T GOOD...IN FACT THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWING DALLAS/FT WORTH ON THE WEATHER CHANNEL ALL DAY AND THEY SAID IT IS A WASHOUT COMPLETELY FOR ALL DAY SO MEESA AND MARILYN MAY BE IN THEIR HOTEL ROOM ALL DAY TOO.....AND THEY WOULD OF HAD TO COME DOWN HERE TONIGHT AT THE LATEST ANYWAY TO BE HERE TO PRACTICE EARLY TOMORROW SO HE CAN TAKE HIS NAP IN THE AFTERNOON  :roflmao  :para

I WENT TO GET MY EXTRA MONEY ALSO THIS MORNING.....

Hello!

I've been home for a few hours uploading pictures into photobucket.  If you're interested, p. 4 of the Frisco M&G Thread.  Skip and I are going to run some errands and then I need to get things together for our trip to Houston tomorrow and then on to Galveston on Saturday.

Busy times!!

Hugs,
Prissy

PS:  We were so lucky with the weather in Frisco.  Just a few drops of rain in the morning, and that was it!!  No rain in the afternoon or evening!!  I wish we could be that lucky with Houston!! :cross

Prissy -  :wave :wave :wave  That is SO cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy   I'm glad you had such a wonderful time.   :hugg

Trying to get things done around home today.  It is WARM here, so no sitting outside today.  I never went back to bed.   :naughty  I've been up since 3:30 am so I see a nap in my future.   :bouncy  I picked up my friend, Eileen, and went to Kroger in the town 15 miles south of us for groceries.  Got some good stuff....spent too much.....so what else is new???  If I can stay awake, I am making steaks, spinach salad, and corn on the cob for dinner.  The corn is a splurge for me today, but I have had a taste for it.

LOVING all the pictures of Clay!!!!!   smoochies

Will go read back a bit before getting back to things here at home.
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Lorraine - Are you adding Andre Agassi to your list???   :wink  I LOVE him.  He retired, though, so we will see less and less of him.  You certainly have a nice neighbor that would give you shrimp!!!  :bouncy

Linds -  :hugg  It's hard when other people don't understand Clay's sense of humor, and sense of himself.  Just remember, WE do, and that's why you are going to concerts with us and not them.   :bigsmile

Janet - OH, I SO hope the wheelchair comes through for you.  I know it would make a big difference for you.   :hugg

Dudley - Thanks for letting us know that Clay and Bozena are in town.  It would be nice if they were staying at the same hotel.   :bigsmile

Frankie - I thought I had enough Clay shirts, but I REALLY like this new one, so I may have to break down and buy it, too.   :bouncy

 :wave and  :hugg all around.

Off to finish things around here and get supper going EARLY for a change.  I need Evelyn's batteries today.  Where are you Evelyn?????

Will check in with you later, my friends.   :bouncy
Woodstock :bouncy X120

Dudley, Clay and Bozena, what a nice couple!!   :lol  Who knows, they may run into each other.  I think Bozena's mouth will drop.  I miss her.  You can tell her that if you see her.

Lorraine, so what are you going to give him now??? :purpbana :purpbana :purpbana :lol

Woody, you sure do have a lot of shirts.   This new one does have a nice saying.  An evening with Clay Aiken.   See, you can just use your own thoughts on that evening and what you would want to put into it. :lol 

Sasha, where the heck are you?  Did you and Jim get out for the holiday?  What inconsistent weather, huh?  I remember, was it last year, when you kept getting that bronchitis.   I need some magic syrup.

Prissy, that cookbook could probably bring in thousands on E-Bay.   I know you wouldn't give that up for millions.   What a great idea.   His head must have gotten two sizes bigger after seeing that. 

I do think the pictures of Clay are pretty cute.   He does kind of remind me of the younger Clay.  I just can't find the younger Linda now.  :lol

Daughter and SIL will be here in an hour and I haven't even gotten dressed; well, why should I when I am a patient in my own home.   :bouncy

 :wave

What great new pictures in the Coppermine - I think the count is up to 59 Frisco pictures now!  :clap :clap :clap :clap

Prissy - what a great autigraph! I hope he is doing individual autographs for everyone now, instead of writing the same thing for everyone. I still hope you see your Clay picture soon.

Woody - I just woke up from a nap - I only slept about 3 hours last night, and just couldn't stay up any longer. I thnk I will allow Lewis to take us out for supper tonight!

Has anybody noticed that most of the Clay shirts have a lot of blue or black?

I'm off - it's time for me to really get moving here.

Hello OCD,

I had a long post and my darn computer freezes; I think I might murder this darn thing before the day is through. :bang :bang


Hello to Woody, Lorraine, AC, Tammy, Glory, Krista, Boca, Angela, Evelyn, Pepe, Frankie, Lora, Lindsay, Cindy, Bozena, Meesa, Sasha, Michelle, JoAnn, Dudley, and the rest, you all have a wonderful Thursday. :wave :wave


Kat, your nanny Lolita is melting away; she needs tons of ice to keep her whole…hurry.  :shappy After watching a couple of clack from last night, I feel wonderful… our honey is back. :purpbana  :lmao I hope you are misbehaving. :wink BTW, I hope you get to buy some good Clay stuff with your thirty dollars. :wink


Linda, are you telling me that whining would get us stuff…interesting. :wink :lol :lol I have been asking you to come visit me…we have more than enough of sun to share. :lol


Prissy, thanks for the report on your meet and greet, you make me feel as though I was there with you…you lucky girl. Thanks for the photos of Clay’s signature.


Janet, I am very happy that you will be getting your wheelchair.


Shannon, I am thinking of you and Gypsy, :hugg I hope she/he can get better soon.


Tiffany thanks for the summaries and the prayers for us all. I am thanking you as well for providing the link for download. I was very lucky that I could not sleep last night otherwise I would have never seen Clay in action. I could not click the same link you provided last night, this morning. BTW, Clay was great. :purpbana


Betty, how are you this warm Thursday morning, did you see the clack yet?

Hugs to all,

Lolita

I'm starting to believe this is going to happen! Amy borrowed a GPS device from Greg's neice - all we have to do is plug it in, put our destination address in, and it bosses us all the way there!  :clap :clap I won't even have to call OnStar! Now I need to decide what to wear - what does one wear in Monsoon season?  :dunno I do have some rubber shoes (Crocks) and several swim rings! I have several things out on the bed trying to decide - I have no idea what the weather is going to do - guess I will get on a weather site and see.

 :clap  :clap I HAVE A GPS AND I AM GOING TO USE IT TO GET FROM MY HOUSE DOWNTOWN TO THE HYATT  :lol.....OH AND THE WEATHER....RAIN.....RAIN....RAIN  :bang .....I AM WEARING JEANS AND A TSHIRT...AND SO IS BOZENA....

SPOILER: SONGS FOR HOUSTON



















I just recieved an email from the woman I have being talking with at the Houston Symphony. Here are new songs Clay is planning to sing for the rest of the tour!


Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi ******,

This program is subject to change but it looks like Clay will be singing the following songs:

Here You Come Again
Everything I Have
I Wanna Know What Love Is
When I See You Smile
Everytime You Go Away
These Open Arms
When The Lights Go Down
Without You
Measure Of A Man
After All
A Thousand Days
The Way You Make Me Feel
Listen
Lover All Alone
Because You Loved Me

plus the ones he did last night in Frisco
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I'm guessing After All is going to be a duet of the Peter Cetera & Cher song.  I am guessing, also, Listen will be the award winning version from Dream Girls.

:whootwave Howdy ho, one and all. :hugg

Frankie, quite the late night post. :bigsmile Hope you slept well. :hugg

Jerry Skit!, I usually only get sun burnt on my nose, a bit of my cheeks, and when I’m wearing a low cut shirt, on my chest. :para :lol Other than that, I can get quite tan in a short amount of time. :slick :lol
You should rent some Marvel movies sometime! :bouncy They’re great fun. :bigsmile The Spiderman ones are really good (third not so great :sad I was quite disappointed in it), the X-men ones are good too, and Fantastic Four, even though it’s a bit cheesey. :giggle And it’s not Marvel, but Batman Begins is super good. :bouncy
Pifel is not even a word. :para :lmao But I say it anyway, not just pifel, but I say, “Oh pifel”. It’s like saying “Psh” to someone, or I say, “Psha” quite a bit too when I don’t agree or disappointed or something like that. :lol And dink, well, I’ve just been calling people dinks lately. :lmao :lmao I don’t know why . . .

Lorraine, I’ve been confused what day it is all week. :para :lol It’s a confusing week, really. :lol

Janet, :bighug Hope Dr. will sign off for your chair. :hugg

Prissy, that’s so cute! :giggle You better hop to it and cook something for Clay! :lol :lol

Howdy to Jayne, Charlene, Tammy, Candace, Kat, Woody, Pepe, Lindsay, Glory, ANGELA, Dudley, Linda, Lolita, and all that I missed. :wave You’re surely not forgotten. :hugg

The skimmer has skimmed quite a bit again. :para I'm just tired. :tired I slept til 3 this afternoon. :shocked But I didn't fall asleep til 5, so, yeah. . . :lol

But anyhoo, I wanted to stop on in while I was checking a few things. :bigsmile

Love you all :hugg

Carla :bubble

                                     HAS ANYBODY NOTICED I HAVE BEEN MIA FOR A DAY OR TOW. :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

Didn't you post yesterday or am I losing my mind? :bduh  We miss you anytime your not here.. :hugg

Dudley
My dad's tom tom led us astray the other day..  It led us down these dark and dark dirt trails.. :para  I will never rely on the 100%

TAMMY ~ GIRL WHAT IS UP????????????
BTW *TICKLE TICKLE TICKLE* hehehehe

LOLITA, It has been pretty rainy today but we are in the stormy season now. Went to lunch with two friends and then we hit the sales----lots of stuff on sale. I bought shoes, pants and three tops. Corina asked what I was going to get rid of and I said nothing. I"m a keeper Corina is not. How"s the weather where you are?  Hugs, Betty

Not much Kat .. Whats up with you?  Are you staying out of trouble?  When will you be seeing Clay and who are you going with?

Nothing to much Tam, just trying to figure out this guys myspace that i got like an hour ago  :blush .....he was at my table at sylvan and he asked me for my myspace and i was like yeah i got one so he gave me his!! :roflmao then i was like :jaw no way! and he is in the 8th grade! lol
hahahaha you know i was try and stay out of trouble but you know i can't....what happens if i say no? :para ....I am going THIS SATURDAY 7/7/07!!!!! WHOOT!!! and my madre and coming with me!!!!!.......*tickle tickle tickle*

hey Betty :wave

 Woody, I did"nt know you were a tennis fan! I love it although I don"t play now. WE miss all the great American players it was very exciting, was"nt it? Clay and Andre Agassi are my two favourite people they  have so much compassion and love for children. It"s pretty much a washout this year, it took Nadel 5 days to complete one match. I went one year and the atmosphere is fantastic. Enjoy your concerts.  Betty

PRISSY, JOANN, FRANKIE travel safely to Houston!  DUDLEY has the ark ready if it is still raining!  I told DUDLEY to take Mr. Casper and Mercedes over to see CLAY's dogs since he is so close to her and DUDLEY isn't sleeping much these days anyways.  HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME WITH EACH OTHER AND CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Pepe :wave

Just posted in the wrong thread,Frisco!   I just wanted to add to Prissy's wonderful review,  Jerome came up to us and started chatting  after Prissy's M&G!  We were bombing Prissy ant the others just outside the building where they had go to and Jerome came out.
   I thanked him for getting Clay back to Texas. He looked at my Long Tall Texan Clay shirt and said, "Hey, I like your shirt."  Then he told Prissy again about wanting a Claymaniac cookbook and talked to us for about 5 minutes before going back into check on Clay.
      I've never talked to him, but he was very nice and shook our hands and really responded to us.
JoAnn

Just thought I'd come and say hullo again while I was doing this and that. :bigsmile I found my Wicked CD that I had lost a while ago. Turns out it was in one of my bags. :para Silly me. :blush

I was on YouTube and there's quite the spiffy music video by No More Kings called Sweep the Leg. It's like a little movie, and has the original cast of The Karate Kid in it. :lol :lol It's quite funny. Here's the link if you want to check it out:

Sweep the Leg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFlQNtL8F9s)

Glory ~ just hanging around..chilling! LOL..omgosh i found this one card today and it said something about you chilling well old people need ice or something it was funny tho! anyhow....you going to any of his concerts this year?

 :wave

Is anybody here?  :para Came on to answer a couple of messages!

Carla - I was up in the middle of the night writing the ANN - I took one of Marilyn's days since she is Claytrekking!

Glory - you have not been gone for 2 days! You just popped on and said you were going to work! You are missed anytime you are not here, though!

Kat - it's good that you are making friends at Sylvan - is the reading getting better?

Corbet - good shopping trip!

Pepe -  :hugg I am so looking forward to Houston - to seeing eveyone again (and for the first time!) as much as seeing Clay.

JoAnn - I love the rehearsal picture  :clap See you tomorrow!  :purpbana

Lorraine - sounds like a nice cable guy - and just the right age for you! Love the bunnies, too!

We just got home from the funeral home - a friend passed away suddenly - had a rare lung condition, but we all though he was doing much better. Now I have to finish packing. (Everything is ready - I just have to actually put it in the suitcase!)

I'll say good night later, or I will say goodby in the morning before I leave.  :ghug

Frankie ~ :wave HEY GIRL!!! What's up? ....yeah thats my only friend i made well a few but yeah the reading is getting better they bumped me up a level to level 17 which i think its highschool level so yeah!!!!

                                 FRANKIE I WAS TEASING I KNOW I WAS HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE. HAVE A GREAT TIME. LOVE YOU MUCH PLEASE BE CAREFUL DRIVING. GIVE AMY A HUG FROM ME PLEASEEEEEEE.

Frankie, it is so true.   It is very exciting to see the friends that have been made through the different Clay sites.   It used to be all about Clay, until we realized it was about the friendships too.   I am so excited for you!!

Kat, you are still going strong.  I think you  have some good batteries!   :lol

My daughter and SIL just left.   It was so nice to see them.  I still can't believe she is going to have a baby.   We were sitting in her old room and she said, "you can put the crib over there."   I said, "Yes, that is exactly where your crib was."   Funny!  She should be eight years old and me talking to her in her room.   Ahhhhhh, memories.   At the end of the month, she will find out what gender the baby will be.  She wants to know.   That's fine with me. 

 :waveCarla and Corbet.  Nice to see you both.  Have a good night.

Glory, I could swear I posted to you yesterday, or at least saw you here.   I thought you said the brother was out and you didn't have to see him; maybe that was the other day.   :hypno

Linda ~ hahaha yeah i do.....i got the rechargeable batteries! :wink :wink
so what you up too???

JoAnn, Jerome is a sweetheart.  I'll never forget our first Clay concert in Worcester, MA.  Lorraine and I were walking the halls because we didn't feel like listening to Kelly at the time.  Jerome was in the hallway too.   We just stopped and talked to him and was so willing to take a picture.  Always smiling from ear to ear.   He can be stearn too.  We have seen both sides of him.   Our Claymaniacs cookbooks are going to get some good publicity from him. 

Prissy, are you around or still dreaming?   I am so glad the weather held out for you girls.

Nothing here.  I need some of your batteries.  Are they from another planet or can we get them on earth???  Whatever, send me some real quick.   :lol

hahahahahhaaha your sooooooo sooooooo funny! :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

you want energy?...alright here it comes... :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :sonic :highfive
that should be enough!!!!! hahahaha

Miss Glory, I am glad you were only kidding, I keep thinking if I miss not missing your posts.  :bduh What I just wrote does not make sense to me; I hope it makes sense to you. :lol :lol


Kat, thanks for the tons of ice, I am not melting any longer.  :lol :lol Hey, don’t spend your thirty dollars in one place. :naughty :shappy :shappy


Betty, I am a keeper as well, if it fits, it’s mine to keep.  :wink Hubby’s co-worker is a big Andre follower…she tells hubby that Andre is a very nice person. BTW, stay out of the storms.


Frankie, have a safe trip tomorrow and enjoy the concert.


Lorraine, I love the bunny Clay.

 :wave Carla


Hugs to all,

Lolita

Honey ... I'm home!  :smile

I can't wait to show you all pictures of my little cousin. I love her more than life itself. She's 20 months and can count to 10; say her ABCs; recognize basic colors; and recognize written letters. She talks so clearly and says so many words!

Tomorrow, though. I am going to pass out. It's been a long three days. See you in the morning! :tobed

Just got through watching the movie "The Beauty Shop" with Queen Latifa.  It was a cute movie.  My god this rain just won't stop.  I am not even outside and I feel all wet.

Glory - I think they are brothers the cable guy and the plummer. :lol :lol :lol  those were the days.

Corbet - Andre is such a nice guy and was glad to see his life turn around and yes definitely I think Steffie had something to do with that.

Frankie - not sure what time you are leaving in the morning but happy trails and I know they are going to end you up on the right Clay road. :lol :lol :lol

Linda - it is so hard to believe that you will be having a granddaughter or grandson but time goes by so very fast.  It is a good thing and will change your life.  You will never be the same.  All good though.

Lolita - So you like that Clay bunny. :lol :lol :lol  I wonder if it energizes by itself or you have to help it out. :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

Tammykins - you are probably doing nighty night.  I think the cup of coffee kicked in.  I am so tired of this rain.  Hopefully it will all be gone by tomorrow.  Talk to you then.

Glory - you are so right.  To be young again and know what we know now and not make those mistakes.

Looks like it is pretty quiet here tonight.  I am sure lots and lots of people are traveling to see Clay tomorrow and Saturday. 

I am going to say good-night now and see you guys in the morning.

Sweet Clay Dreams.

Hugs
Rainey

Hey Rainey :wave what's up?  your energizer bunny is still going see :sonic :sonic hahaha

"Clay better be ready because us Oklahomans are gonna rope him up" :wink hahaha

Hey all. Summery time.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee The Clay excitement is back!!!!! :woohoo

I was up late last night waiting for some of the clack to come and saw everything. I'm in love all over again. :heartburst Clay is truly amazing. Every song he sings it proves that he can sing anything even rap. :lol

Woody-Sorry you couldn't get back to sleep this morning.

Hope you had a great day at your older son's yesterday.

That's a shame your daughter couldn't get a pay day for having the day off.

Enjoy watching the Tennis game.

Your dinner sounds yummy tonight.

Clay did wear flipflops then decided to be barefoot for the rest of the concert. :lol

Charlene-Glad you had a nice 4th at your sister's seeing the fireworks.

Have a good day with your aunt.

Angela-I heard you over the phone last night saying you were Angela from MA.

Frankie-Aww That poor dog running away cause she was scared of the fireworks. Hope Lewis and your neighbors could find her.

Sorry to hear about your friends passing.

If you don't see this tomorrow, enjoy seeing our honey in Houston and have a great time seeing everyone that's going here at the preparty.

Have a safe drive there too.

Sounds like a good device for your car.

I don't know how you and Krista do it with not wanting to know anything about the concert til you see it. I wouldn't be able to stand it.  :lol

I'm sure Clay will be out at the buses every night. Haven't heard anything though if he did it last night.

Prissy-Your Meet and Greet sounded wonderful. So happy for you!!! Clay sounded so sweet to you. That's funny what he wrote signing the cookbook. :lol That's cool Jerome wants a cookbook. That's sweet Clay would had let you be in his orchestra.I liked the question you asked him about if he could ever have out a DVD of his live performances.

Glad you had a fun time at the concert and you got to see Marilyn and Meesa at the PreParty.

Loved all the pictures you took.

So glad it didn't rain for you all there. You were very lucky.

Have a great time in Houston!!!

Pepe-It's good to see you posting here again.

I'm easy. I love Clay singing anything.

Tammy-Sorry you couldn't walk this morning cause it was raining.

I caught a little bit of Elliott last night on the Capital 4th. He looked and sounded great.

Janet-Hope you can be able to get the electric wheelchair.

Welcome Jerry.

Thanks for the heads up about where to read Prissy's Meet and Greet.

I see Jan responded to you about something yesterday but she didn't mention the skit.

That's good you could get paid for having off yesterday.

Thanks for the pics.

Glory-I know you say Wow! cause you don't want to get into trouble.  :lol

I know you posted yesterday before you went to work but didn't post last night.

That's great you don't have to work too late everyday anymore.

Rainy-Enjoy your long weekend off.

That's nice the cable guy did all that with your computer. Good for him if it's single.  :lol

Linda-Hope you won't have this cough for long.

Glad you had a good visit with your daughter and SIL. Hope she is feeling better and not that sick all the time with her pregnancy now. That's great she will know if it's a boy or girl in a month.

You're right that Clay gets better and better at every concert.

Dudley-That's awesome you spotted the bus and what hotel Clay is staying at in Houston. Glad he got there ok with all the rain there. Wonder what he's doing on his day off. Probably right that he'll be taken a long nap. :lol

I noticed Clay was lurking a lot in the OFC today.

Glad to hear Bozena arrived safely.

Thanks for posting the pics from the concert last night and the interview with Clay in the Houston paper and Frankie also posting it in the ANN. Great interview but he needs not to put himself down and guess I'm old. :lol

Thanks for the info on more songs in the set list for the rest of the concerts. Yes!!!! He'll sing 1000 Days and MOAM.

JoAnn-Jerome sounded so nice to talk with.

That's a great shot of Clay on stage from the rehearsals.

Great pics of the fireworks too.

Have a wonderful time at the Houston concert tomorrow.

Candace-Thought the classic up-tempo medley was great and hilarious too and also loved the TV theme medley. I remember reading about him singing the Perfect Strangers theme song at AI. Can't get Clay singing Like a Virgin and SexyBack out of my head.  :lol

And I thought Lover All Alone was beautiful, passionate and emotional. All the songs he sang from ATDW sounded beautiful and God Bless the USA.

He looked cute wearing that cowboy hat.

Welcome Lolita.

Welcome for the links to the clack in the cellcert thread. Keep on checking the Clack Unlimited site. There is a lot more now. It was down a few times earier.

Lindsey-Sorry your family made those bad comments about Clay while you were watching him. Can understand how you would feel. They just will never get it.

Glad you got home safely.

Your cousin sounds smart for her age being only a year old and 4 months. Looking forward to seeing pics of her.

Clandy-I read that. Dudley posted that earier in the cellcert thread too about Clay saying the Houston concert will get more songs tomorrow. I had a guess the rest of the concerts could be differant then last night. I was curious if they were going to have an intermisson.

Carla-Sounded like a fun 4th with Simon.

That's good to hear your sunburn is better.

Glad you enjoyed the Fantastic Four movie.

If you read this, do you see Clay's coming to MN for 2 nights on the Christmas tour?

Shannon-Contuning prayers for Gypsie. Hope the new meds can help her feel better. That's good you can keep her in a cage now so her neck can hopefully not move around as much. Good to hear her tummy feels better.

Welcome Kat.

How fun you got to celebrate your birthday again. What are you going to buy with your $35 at Clay's concert? I heard they have shirts they are selling but nothing much else.
