You're home!!!!!!! Welcome Back!

I am!!! Finally!!! It was a long trip to be couped up in a little RV. I'm very glad to be home. Thanks again for filling me in on the Idol results. I was dying to know how things went. I can't wait to watch the show, we DVR'd it. :) We actually ended up coming home a day early because the RV sprung a water leak and the carpet inside was getting wet. Yuck!

I really think Jordin has a strong chance to win this thing. I'm a huge Blake fan, but i really think Jordin may have it wrapped up if she has a decent night tonight. Either way they will both be superstars, so it really doesn't matter. They both have incredible star quality. I think this is the first year in which both of the contestants in the finale have such amazing star quality. I'm even more amazed that Jordin is so young and has it. It's funny too because this year started off so rough with so many contestants that really should have never been there.

They not only sound amazingly good but they both have great personalities. Jordin's very sweet and loving and Blake seems to have strong character and very grounded. I liked how his dad is so proud of him it made him cry and Blake wanted to comfort him.

Really I don't care who wins like you said they're both winners already. Both will get record deals and both will have strong sales

I thought this was interesting:

Even Lewis appears to be on Team Jordin. "She's 17 and she's already a woman," he gushed, before going on to sabotage himself. "She performs, she's good-looking, she's got a fantastic personality and it reads really well on camera. And so I love Jordin Sparks. ... Regardless of the finale, I think she already won it in my mind and she was my pick in the beginning."

I think Jordin has it. anyone else?

I so disagree with Randy and Simon that AI is a singing competition and therefore the best vocals win. I wish they would define that better. If that were true then yes Jordin would win she was great last night. I'm so happy Simon complimented her.....finally. He was alittle hard on her. But if we expanded the definition of AI to performance and entertainment and also things like how confident you are and how you move, how you act with the audience,(maybe you can think of more) then your not so hung up on whether you missed a note or not.

Well they were both good last night. I agree Jordin best vocals and Blake best performance.

I didn't care who won last night until the judges all pushed so hard for Jordin. Now I'm cheering for Blake. And that song they both had to do last night??? Horrible. I wouldn't want that on either of their first albums.

Yeah, I think Jordin might have it. I liked them both last night, but I really think Jordin put a lot of herself into her performances last night. I actually loved the way Blake did the songwriter's song. :P

It's really funny about the judge's comments on singing competition cuz they're always knocking the contestants for not having a "performance". :P

I DO wish the judges would keep their "predictions" a little less gushy...that can't feel good for any of the contestants. Even if I was the one they were gushing about...sure, I'd feel good, but I'd also feel bad for the other contestant.

I think Blake will actually do a lot better if he loses. If he wins that horrible song with have to be his single, right? That would not be good :lol:

I agree with you there. That song is not for him. I definitely thing Jordin deserves to win but I do like Blake more because he's so different.

I really don't care who brings it home. I just like the reaction when they announce the winner. Can't wait for tonight!

i take solice in the fact that the people who win dont generally do well with their careers. but the 3rd and 4th placers do, i will buy la kisha's and melinda's albums long before blake or jordins. and i know im not the only person out there that feels this way.

I'm going to end up watching both shows together again. I will be working tonight, but will TIVO it.

I do think that the ones that don't win come out ahead though.

I may catch the show but may not. My mom and sister and her new baby are coming to visit so I need to clean the house a bit. I also may make dinner for my future mother in law and brother in law. Due to our work schedules it may be a later dinner too.

The winners do very well in their careers too usually. Look at Fantasia Barrino, she's starring in a Broadway show. That's pretty big. Plus, her album is awesome! She's done other acting things as well. Carrie Underwood is unbeatable in the country scene. She's won how many awards so far? Kelly Clarkson is doing very well for herself musically. The only one that really hasn't done anything is Rueben and even he had a few hit songs. Plus, he was on Sesame Street. :) He he he...

Amanda, do you want me to text you the winner or are you recording it? Let me know. If you want to know who wins, just text me.

angie, I am so sorry I didnt see your message until the morning. I did catch the end. I have been so sick. I am not sure if it is allergies or what but ugh. My family is coming to visit today which is nice. Thanks though ;)

So everyone I guess this is the end of our Idol thread till next year. I think I am going to watch the So you think you can dance show. That looks good.

This thread has been so much fun.

I don't really watch very much TV at all. I am on my computer more. I have to be real interested in a show to remain seated the whole time. So alot of times during Idol I was getting antsy in the last 15 minutes or so. I am just that kind of person. My attention span is not always so good. :) You should see me at work.

I am glad Jordin won, although it looked as if she knew she had won.

I did not agree with Randy and Simon basically saying Jordin you deserve to win. How do you think Blake felt, I know if I was in Blakes shoes I would have felt horrible. I think the way Paula said it was much more nice.

I think she knew she won to, and i agree it was mean that they said she should win. But i do think it did come down to that song, i think neither one song it great, but jordin did the best with it. I honeslty think when they wrote that song they were making it for melinda lol.

I am the same way, i never can sit for very long, even when im on the puter, i get up and down so much. There are many times i start an post and have to get up and then come to finish it.

I have a new laptop I bought just a week ago and didn't get to really to play too much with it. The keys seem a little farther away than my old one, so I can be writing a post and then I hit a key by accident and it either disppears or the words get all mixed up. Frustrating. LOL

Well my family is arriving,

Have a great day Paula!!!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
