Sorry,

Nicole and Amy

The guy who sang free ride and the asian who wore no shoes.

I was doing some stuff and hadn't checked this in awhile.

Sundance stayed....and I didn't think he was that great.

THANK YOU!!! You can disregard my PM now. I'm just feeling a little silly, please excuse me.

No problem, I feel bad, I keeping forgetting about time zones so I probably ruined it for a lot of people. I am sorry :)

There's no way I could pull off "knowing" without being caught. The people who didn't make it were too much of a surprise. I think Nicole was the only one that anyone really guessed. My kids never would have bought it. Let's try again next week!

BTW - how did Rudy get voted off? He was one of my top 4 favorites for the guys. And there was one very forgettable guy up there - we all looked at each other and said, "who's that?" None of us remembered even seeing him on Tuesday. I think his name is Rick? And I'm sad that Amy is gone - I thought she was WAY better than Antonella and Alaina. Oh, well, I guess I should just start voting.

I had liked Antoella all the way up until she sang the Aerosmith song, I am a big Aerosmith fan. Rudy was the last one to be voted off. I have to say I loved his Free Ride performance. It made me want to get up and dance. There was one girl who sang and I didn't think it was good at all, but Paula had actually stood up and was dancing with her song. I can't remember who it was. When I watched the girls that night I was dead to world, I had just come home after working a double shift.

I am not nearly as impressed this season so far as I was last. The guys last year would have blown these guys away imo. Anyone else notice they are using Chris Daughtrys song to send them home with? last year it was had a bad day.. this year is Daughtrys Home. A bit ironic since he didnt even win last year!!!

I was really irritated that Antonella didn't get voted off after what she and her best-friend said about being able to get any guy they wanted. That really rubbed me the wrong way and I thought for sure she'd get voted off quickly because of the attitude. I didn't really remember Nicole's performance, so it mustn't have blown me away. I think Antonella definitely should have gotten booted before Amy. Poor thing.

I'm very glad that Sundance stayed on. He was one of my favorites from auditions. I'm scared though that if he has another round like the past two he'll be headed home. He was flawless in the auditions. Too bad the rest of the show he hasn't done too much. I was also glad that Sinjaya stayed on, he's such a sweet kid. I liked that he cried when his sister didn't make it. I thought that was sweet and i really hope he does better this week. He has such an amazing voice, but he certainly didn't shine this past week. I guess so long as Blake, Phil, and Chris Sligh are still on I don't really care who gets voted off for the boys. As for the girls, I'm really hoping that LaKisha can make it all the way, that poor girl deserves to know that she's great. And I like that she's doing this all for her little girl, Brionne. I think that's sweet. She's amazing and she'll keep getting my votes. :)

Tinkerbellswt... Is it actually Chris singing in the vote off song??? I didn't even notice!

Guy- I like Blake Chris, S. and Phil, although Sanjaya is a cutie and I believe he'll get votes for that, I don't think he is quit good enough as far as the "whole package" goes.

Girls are hard for me, they all seem alike. That's the problem I had with Cathrine last year, she didn't seem any different to me than any other pretty girl with a good voice. Even in her interviews now she seems boring. I think Jordin is going to be my favorite, she can sing and she seems interesting, and sweet.

LOL It sure is Chris singing it. It is the second song on his album called Home. I had my mom replay it today b/c she couldnt believe the irony there too! and my dad picked his voice right out, knew it was him right away!

Wow.. an Idol thread... I love that show!!

I really like LaKisha too. I don't have a favorite for the guys yet.

I find I'm not looking forward to Idol nites like last year. Probably because there is no rocker. I hope the guys step it up tonight, I'm not going to sit through another boring nite.

I was much more amused during the girls performance last week....besides the two or three guys, the rest sang very slow songs. The majority in my office turned it off last week because they got bored.

Well, the guys were far better tonight! Blake rocked! I also liked Chris S. The other Chris had a good performance, but I don't like him. He reminds me of KFed. I don't know if they look alike or it's the punk factor. I'm sorry to say but I think Sanjaya is going home (unless he gets the cutie vote). And I also think either Brandon or Nicholas is going home. What do you all think?

I liked Blake too. I am just not digging Sanjaya. He sings too soft. I am into the more upbeat singers. I missed Phil. Sundance made a come-back as well. I haven't been too impressed with him up to this point but he did better last night.

Blake was amazing last night!!! Chris R. was pretty good too. I'm really starting to like some of the guys now.

Phil did good, I believed he sang Tom Waite's (sp?) I Ain't Missing You. I think that's right.

I thought the guys did great last night! I'm thinking Sanjaya might be leaving, Brandon might leave too just because he picked a slow and somewhat boring song. Looking forward to the girls tonight. Missed them last week. :(

Vote for the Worst site is pushing votes for Sundance and Antonella. Unfortunately I do think those anti-AI people do make a difference at least in these earlier shows. I don't understand their whole concept anyhow. If you don't like the show, why mess it up for others? :angry: Here's the link if you are interested: Open Original Shared Link

The guys were sooo boring! I kind of liked Blake and Chirs R., but I'm thinking i won't bother watching the guys anymore until they're down to the top 12 :rolleyes:

I tend to agree! I watched a little bit last night, but had to go to bed at 9, lol, so didn't see them all, but from what I saw, they were just so-so.

anyone else?

I think we might see Antonella go home. She sounded horrid. She took on way to big of a song, thought she was better than she is.

But I enjoyed the girls.

      Hi @trents Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I have been on an iron supplement for 4 years. (Started at Ferratin at 6) and has always sat around 20-30s.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Making significant changes in our diets, even when it is in, what would we are told by the experts, a healthy direction, can be upsetting to our system until it adjusts. To make an analogy, it's like beginning an exercise regiment when we don't ease into it gradually. That's one thing that occurs to me as a response. And I think as we get up in years this...

I also have been a high level athlete so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I will sometimes get readings around 50 but haven’t stopped my supplement so assuming it can be from taking it the day before.  Also get muscle twitches too which maybe is pointing to some other deficiency.    My magnesium vitamin B and D were all normal right before going gluten free but I’m also reading more about zinc and the different types of b vitamins that may affect some symptoms as well. So will have to look into that. When can iron stores expect to replenish? Does it take awhile?

      @trents - THANK YOU, that is a really helpful and interesting post. I have had fairly extreme symptoms. Being a veteran hypochondriac I've been imagining all sorts and what you say makes me think I've probably been up to my usual catastrophizing!    That said, I foresee another colonoscopy appointment if things don't settle down soon., and if I have got diverticulosis I guess that is how they will find out. I've just checked some statistics and I had no idea until I googled the condition that such a large percentage of the UK population has diverticulosis, i.e. 50 per cent by the age of 50, and that diverticulitis itself - i.e.  inflammation of the diverticular - affects 5-25 per cent of the population.  Oddly enough I knew a young woman with it and she told me years ago that it felt like there was a baby's foot wedged into her stomach at times, just like when she was expecting a baby, and this is exactly how it feels to me at times (although I realise as a man you will not be familiar with this sensation!)   I also do have an umbilical hernia which I think plays me up. On your other earlier points - I have read elsewhere that sudden intake of fibre can cause a lot of discomfort.  It reminds me of the time I swapped a chocolate bar with a muesli bar with apricots in an effort to be healthy, and there was a stone in it which broke my tooth!  No pain no gain I suppose!  And re: new intolerances, that too is very likely.   I will start keeping a food diary and my husband has today bought me some peppermint tea, hopefully that might help disperse some of the bloating! Thank you.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @hjayne19! Because of the damage done to the villous lining of the small bowel by celiac disease's inflammatory process, absorption of nutrients from our diet is generally compromised and over time it is typical for those with celiac disease to develop nutritional deficiencies. Your low ferritin is evidence of that. We generally advise those who have been newly diagnosed to invest in some high quality and high potency gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements to address this. We're talking about more than a multivitamin. We usually advise B-complex, D3 (5-10k IU daily), zinc, and magnesium glycinate. In particular, magnesium can be helpful for sleep issues and the glycinate form is important as it is assimilates much better than a lot of common forms you see on supermarket shelves which are formulated more for shelf-life than the are for assimilation. Has your ferritin rebounded yet? You may also need an iron supplement if you aren't on one already. Do you have Costco stores near you? Costco's Kirkland Signature brand and Nature Made brand of vitamins and supplements are good quality, economical choices and will be labeled gluten-free on the packaging if they are.

      Making significant changes in our diets, even when it is in, what would we are told by the experts, a healthy direction, can be upsetting to our system until it adjusts. To make an analogy, it's like beginning an exercise regiment when we don't ease into it gradually. That's one thing that occurs to me as a response. And I think as we get up in years this becomes more and more true. We become less adaptable to change. The other thing that occurs to me is that you may have added in things, that though they are nutritionally dense, may be things that you as an individual may have some degree of intolerance to. You mention nuts and citrus. Those are packed with nutrition but also high in histamines. And citrus is not only high in histamines but is also a histamine liberator. I know from personal experience there are some things I can eat occasionally, in limited amounts and I'm okay. But if I eat them too often or consume large servings they will give me an upset tummy or a migraine attack or both. And you might also look at the possibility that you have developed diverticular disease. Nuts and seeds are a no no for that I understand.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi! I am a recently diagnosed celiac and my first post here.    hoping for some help. I initially didn’t have any gastric symptoms before diagnosis. Mostly night sweats almost every night and bad insomnia. Sometimes 1-3 hours before falling asleep but mostly waking at 4 am and not able to fall asleep. I felt like a zombie. I have also had low Ferratin for years. Sleeping got a little better I also realized I wasn’t eating enough carbs after working with a dietician.    it’s been 3 months gluten free. I definitely am on the more sensitive side I would say. I get really bad panic/doom anxiety which was bad before diagnosis and has since improved but comes in waves. Now my insomnia has been bad again and looking for some advice. I try to keep a strict routine morning and night. But can’t seem to turn my brain off even though I’m exhausted.    Anyone else going through something similar?
