Oh my gosh... What did they feed Sanjaya over this past week?!?!?! That was actually REALLY good!!! First of all, I love that song... Second of all, he sang it with proper intonation and accent... Third, I almost forgot he was, well, Sanjaya! Too bad he'll probably go back to sucking royally next week.

Blake melted my heart tonight. Wow! He is just amazing!

I actually like LaKisha too, but yeah, blake and sanjaya were good. Blake was phenomenal, as usual. He makes me want to run of to Hollywood and be fanatical about the show.

Blake is cute too. They only ever show his friends in the audience, I wonder where his family is?

I was wondering the same thing. I liked Blake. I also liked Jordin last night too.

I agree that Sanjaya wasn't as horrible as he usually is. :lol:

Yeah, what was up with that?!?! :)

Jordin was really good last night. I've been liking her more and more this season. I think she has great potential, especially considering she's just a little girl. I don't think she's even 18 yet. That's pretty impressive since she has that big old voice.

Anyone else think it'll be Haley's time to go this week?

Yeah, anyway, where is Blake's family? That is kind of odd. Everyone else's family is there supporting them.

Vote-off...hmm tough call. Haley might still be getting votes from hormone raging males due to her revealing clothing...even Simon commented that that was her best quality.

Phil was ok, Chris R is not my favorite....I am stumped.

Anyone else?

What? Blake's family has been there a lot. Especially early on. His dad looks just like him - just heavier and without earrings. They were just on local TV last night (I grew up in Blake's home town) thanking people for all their support. It's a special "Blake Lewis Day" in Bothell today.

Wow! It's Blake Lewis Day? That's so cool!

I've never noticed his family, but maybe it's because I'm so stuck on staring it him. He is such a cutie!

I wish, lol. I don't even remember what song she sang...all I cam remember is that outfit. The first thing I thought when she walked out was "she's doing that on purpose now", lol. :lol:

Oh yeah, I forgot about Chris still being there. He bores me to tears. I think I'd rather see him go than Haley. At least Haley is cute and has some energy and personality. Chris just makes me want to stick my head in the sand.

I actually think Haley's smart for how she's playing things now. Yes, she looks kind of slutty and is definitely exploiting her body... BUT... If you've got it, flaunt it, right? At least she's not 400 lbs. and nasty looking and trying to wear clothes like that. I think she's smart because I think that's the only thing keeping her in the competition at this point. Maybe I'm wrong. She's a little spastic, don't you guys think?

You have a point...she could be very large and be trying to squeeze into those outfits....which many people do and they obviously do not look in a mirror before they leave the house.

She is very spunky!

I hope next week is a little more fun.

Lakisha will go home tonight. I know that sounds crazy, and I'm not against Lakisha. I like her way more than Melinda. I think Lakisha is a funny, witty person as well as a great singer. But I believe Gina's votes will go to the Judges favorite singer, "MELINDA" (could they make it any more obvious?) Because Gina threw a baby, foot-stomping tantrum on tv about how Sanjaya sucks and she should have been allowed to stay longer due to this being her dream as an adult and he's a stupid talentless kid.... So, anyone in love with Gina is going to be throwing their votes to the one the judges view as having the most talent. That's my guess. And that's my reason for my guess. I could be wrong, but that's how it plays out in my mind. Halely won't get Gina's votes, I don't believe any of the men will get Gina's votes, and Gina threw a serious tantrum telling her voters that the Sanjaya stuff ruined the competition for those who were truely trying and cared. So, Melinda will get her votes and Lakisha (who I like much better, will go. )

Wow, didn't know she did that...might have changed my mind about her, lol. I tend to not like tantrums. :P

I know. She was teared up and everything. She alternated between petulant sounding and very mad. It was disgraceful. The following day or two, I saw her on the Today show and she was all upbeat and smiling like it was nothing.

I didn't know about Gina either...wow....I would be POed too if I got sent home and Sanjaya who up until last night was the joke was still there.

I am not sure about Lakisha. Phil's fan base is not too big either, every week he is on the bottom so I am leaning toward him as well.. But you never know.

I agree Haley's getting votes from hormonal teenage boys. I don't see any talent that would make her an idol. Lakisha and Melinda are equally talented but I guess you would vote for the personality when it comes to a draw. I thought Lakisha looked more friendly last night. She usually looks like she's PMS'in

One of my favorite C.D.s is the Santana one with Rob Thomas singing the song that Chris sang last night and thought he butched it. But how can you come close to Rob? :P

My favorite was Blake last night. He was the best best best. Love his voice. I hope he wins. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think Phil's going tonight. He looks like he's ready for it to.

Did Paula seem out of it last night? She was on something. I know she has the trouble with neck and back pain. Must of been acting up.

I think she has inflamatory arthritis. Could be brain fog from autoimmune dysfunction.

I just watched it with my kids - we DVR it and watch it the next day - they love it. And they LOVE Jordin. She's their favorite and mine too. I think it will come down to her and Blake. I like them both, but I think her sound is more universal....

I think Lakisha and Melinda have great voices, but I don't think they're very original. THey are kind of old fashioned and I can't figure out what type of album they'd put out. Probably not one I'd listen to or buy. So that makes me lean towards Jordin - I think she'll put out the type of music I'd be more likely to buy...

Thats what I've been saying too, you want someone who's young, spirited and original. I think both the black girls could go on to do broadway or other events like that.

Well....I think I am speechless. I would have rathered Chris or Phil go, at least Haley was entertaining.

I was actually glad to see her go. She was starting to annoy me with her spastic dancing and her skimpy clothes. Though, honestly, I would have rather seen Chris go. Oh well, at least it wasn't Blake or Melinda. :)

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
