They’re having a great sale on “things I don’t really need but must have”.

That's like 80% of what I spend my money on. ;-)

Oh, and bless you for that lesson— I just clomped by my husband in a pair of new very high heels and I said “I’m almost 40, it’s about time I learned to wear these!”. I’m watching tivo’d idol & reading this thread, but delighted to find posts more in line with what’s important, such as fashion!

LMAO!! If you pull yourself up to your full height, roll your shoulders back, put your weight on the balls of your feet you will be fine.

Just remember the idea is to be light on your feet, not stomp around like rhino or Janet Napolitano. ;-)

Yeah, but if he has the scar there, he can say he got it in a knife fight or wrecking his Harley. ;-)

But, I know what you mean about moles sometimes being tough to remove. I have one right in the middle of my knee that has been there since birth. It’s small, but I asked the doctor a few years ago about getting it removed. He said as long as it’s not changing form/color to just leave it. They can grow almost like tendrils under the skin.

However, one of my coworkers had this huge cyst on his finger since he was about 20 (he’s 30ish now). This thing was half the size of a ping pong ball! Insurance wouldn’t pay to have it removed (because it wasn’t cancerous and would only be “cosmetic”), so he finally paid for it out of pocket about 2 months ago.

The doctor did an excellent job! There is only the faintest scar left and you don’t even really notice it unless you are looking for it.

LOL! I had one of those planes.

All the cool kids had 'em :)

I didn't have one. :-( I had to play with my friend's plane.

Just in case you have any snack cravings during the day ...

Well, I was going to have an oatmeal raisin Luna bar, but I think I'll pass.

If I put that picture on the fridge I'll be 120 pounds by June. LOL

Perhaps or maybe Rum Tum Tugger!

PAULA ABDUL TOTALLY FOOLED BY 'BRUNO'

PAULA Abdul is about to be ridiculed at a theater near you -- and she doesn't even know it. A source tells us Sacha Baron Cohen, playing a wildly gay Austrian TV reporter in "Bruno," conducted a wacky interview with the "American Idol" judge. "Paula was totally fooled. She bought into his character and to this day isn't aware she was fooled," the insider said. Abdul's rep had no immediate comment. Universal, which releases the flick July 10, also had no comment. Texas Rep. Ron Paul has already admitted being tricked into a hotel room by Cohen's character.

Good morning all...

FYI..here's a link to a NY POST AI blog "Anyone Else Thinking Idol is Rigged"

It's a good read. (BTW, some of the comments are a hoot!) The argument is subtler than the usual conspiracy theories. The take here is that Adam was put in thew bottom two, because the person who doesn't go home usually gets a significant "bump" in the number of votes the following week.

FWIW, I don't think AI is rigged..in that the producers will override t he voters, because there is no way to keep that a secret, and if it ever came out, the AI franchise would be destroyed, and it's far too valuable. However, I do think that they don't necessarily rank them in the exact order of votes received, nor, have they ever said they werw doing that.

I suggested that they left him in the bottom two to make sure his base was fired up for the all important top 4, where who gets a parade is decided.

Interesting. Allison/Judges don’t even hint she has competed
previously. All we have seen are some clips of her performing at what appear to be very local events.

It is just the top 3. Next week will determine who the top 3 are. :) So, they had an interest in firing up Adam’s fans.

Not sure which comment you are replying to. If its the one about Adam not being a good representative for the “Idol” brand, I was agreeing with the original poster about the creepy factor. The theatrics and over-the-top style just don’t appeal to me (not to mention his voice which is too tenor for my liking). Also don’t care for people putting pictures out over the net engaged in sexual activities with their significant and not-so-significant others. Don’t ask, don’t tell. His performance style and previous performance venues tell me he’s not a talented singer, he’s a talented gay performer. I feel that is the manipulation of the Idol producers—a first openly gay Idol winner. So I guess other factors have made his gayness matter, I’m just giving my reaction to it. I personally don’t want to know a performer’s sexual preference and have never been a fan of that performance style. I prefer something more artistic, subtle but masculine.

Gotcha. We’re on the same page then. Flamers like Adam make many gays cringe. So over the top. And the youtube vid of him doing the star spangled banner was quite disrespectful.

I do think it’s amusing to see girls with signs that read “Adam has my heart” and “Marry me, Adam!” LOL, how clueless can they be!

I’m really worried about Kris next week.

If both Allison and Adam make final 3, will be interesting as they are both from LA I think...so will they have separate parades or will they parade together? LOL
