Motor City Red Thong Mafia #38 :: There's Something About Us (Rated R)

[ILClaymate]

WELCOME TO MAFIA HOUSE #38!!!!!   

Looks like y'all needed a bigger home to play in, here's a new home and a review of how you got started:

Just as a reminder, here's how you got started here in your new home...it was all my fault.   

...because I was a heartless meanie and deleted the Masonic Temple thread...here's a new home for you guys eh?!?
I'm sorry, really. I didn't know you were still using that thread to scheme... I mean, plan your next wild weekend!

So I humbly offer you a new home, your very own forum, and hopefully a place you can congregate and plot your next gathering without the risk of being sent into cyber oblivion.

And if this isn't enough to atone for my sins, you may sentence me to a hundred lashes with a red CA thong. But only if they are administered by you know who.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 38 THREADS!!! 

Ok, all....lets see some purdies...DIESELS always welcome!

A lovely reminder of the MI Diesels! 






Now lets see what decoratin' you can add to it!

I brought this over because I spent all this time typing it, and it actually is my feelings, and I didn't want to leave it at the other house.

Beautiful family, Mary.  It has been a while since you posted.  You are always missed when you are not here.  It feels like I haven't talked to you in forever.  I miss your face!

Shirley - I have a lot of negative feelings as well.  I have never been one to really lust after Clay or think about him THAT WAY, but it does bother me that he is gay.  I really do love his voice and will continue to buy his CDs and go to his concerts, but there is something missing now.

I really am angry that I defended him, even when my gut told me he sure seemed gay!  Primarily because I don't like to stereotype people, and I didn't want to judge him on the way seemed, since he had repeatedly told us he was like that because he was raised by a bunch of women.  His Christian beliefs I felt kept him from going that route, and I wanted to support him.  So, yes, I did defend him repeatedly and he made me really angry when people would say "Clay Gayken".  BECAUSE HE SAID HE WASN'T.  He says now he didn't mean to lie to us.  Yes he did.  He has known for 4 years? 

Ye, it is his business what his lifestyle choices are, not ours, but then he gets a big cover on People and brings his kid on.  He is the one who put his sexuality out there in big letters.  Now we have to listen to every radio station and media outlet make comments like "How shocking.  LIke we didn't already know that".

Whew.  Said more than I expected.  It is scary to say these things because, nowadays, if you don't think homosexuality is  okay, then something is wrong with you.   So many people act like it shouldn't be an issue.  Well, I hate the sin but love the sinner, as we are told to, and I am very aware that I am a sinner in many ways as well.  Gluttony, anybody? That is one of my big crutches.  Still, it saddens me deeply that he has gone this route.

I hope you all still love me.

I love you Carolyn.

Whenever anyone asked me if he was gay...I said I don't know. I kinda always thought he preferred black gals honestly.

My gaydar don't work so well apparently.

[caromiller]

I love you Carolyn.
 
 

Not in THAT way, I hope.  I stayed straight all day.  (though if were going to turn to the other side, I am sure you would be a hottie)

[*joemomma]

YOu DID.... didn't you Carolyn! You stayed straight all day!

I'm tellin...!!!


 

[mcraig2]

You know...it just occurred to me that maybe Mary hasn't heard the news since she hasn't been on the puter and hasn't felt well today!

I guess I'd better call her tomorrow and "ease" her into the latest, huh?  She's gonna faint when she hears Kim has gone gay.

[*joemomma]

I wondered if Mary'd heard too.


I was only gay for today anyway. I am not officially gay  full-time until NEXT week.

If ya need me...I'll be in the closet.

[Claymaniac113078]

Mornin'!

Where is everyone today????

I guess since it's late I will just start lining up those coffees, teas and hot chocolates and just put out a big 'ol basket of Krispy Kreme's and muffins so you can just grab and go!!

[Claymaniac113078]

Carolyn - I'm glad you brought your post over to the new session.  I think everyone feels something different but we're all here for each other. I think it really helps to express how we feel.  This would be a tough subject to discuss with friends who are not Clay fans!  I am still hoping for a tour for the new CD and hope he continues to record more CD's in the future.  It was Clay's amazing voice that I fell in love with first.

[caromiller]

Thanks, CIndy.  It is so great to hear your "voice" again.  Even if it isn't said, you are missed when you are away.

[karen28]

Morning! 
Cindy, good to see you posting!  We are all having some mixed emotions about the news.  I meant to watch GMA this morning but it was on earlier than I expected and missed it.  I'm sure Clack Unlimited will have it very soon; until then, here is a link to a download.  It's taking forever to d/l, though.

Also, here are lyrics to the lullaby Clay sings to his sweet baby.

Artist: Alison Krauss
Album: A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection
Title: Baby Mine
 

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, Dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine

Little one, when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the
Right to hold you

From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine

All of those people who scold you
What they'd give just for the
Right to hold you

From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Baby of mine

Karen  When we all talked about Clay recording a cd of lullabys Baby Mine was the song I suggested...and there he was singing it to Parker.   

[Claymaniac113078]

Carolyn & Karen!

Carolyn - Thanks, it's nice to be missed because I sure do miss you guys when I don't get here!

Karen - Several months ago in another thread we were discussing what we would personally like Clay to do someday, even if we knew he probably wouldn't do it.  My comment was that I would love to see Clay record a CD of lullabies.  I think he has a perfect voice for it.  Maybe it will be a possibility!

[*joemomma]

We forgot to decorate!!

Awww, Mimi2, you must be smiling thru those tears!  It's a very sweet song; wish I'd known it when my guys were babies!!

[caromiller]

Baby Mine depresses me!  It is the song the mother sang to Dumbo when she was chained and trapped in the train car.  She rocked him in her trunk and he cried big tears.  I can never listen to that song.  It immediately makes me want to bawl my head off.  I get very melancholy.

CAROLYN, I  LOVE YOU!!!!!!!  Thanks so much for your honest post.  I felt alone out there and was so attacked at another thread for my opinion and honest feelings.  Yet I have gotten pm's voicing alnost the same opinion as mine but they felt it would be to unpopular to voice that opinion.  I am afraid my real thoughts always have to come out or I would suffocate. 

KIM you and CAROLYN, are killing me this morning.  What fun you both were, made me bend over laughing.   

CINDY, yep got your wonderful email and sent you one back at least I was positive I did,  Love David Cook and liked the song.  Thanks so much for thinking of me, you are a real pal and thanks for breakfast, my favorite kind.

I have been trying to get on the site all morning and couldn't get on.  Anyone else see the Diane Sawyer interview with Clay????????  It was on earlier than I thought.
