I go back and forth on Simon, sometimes I think he is over the top and obnoxious, out of line even, and sometimes I think he is right on with his opinions.

In the special that we were talking about above, Randy said something about this... The interviewer asked something about Simon's comments and Randy said something like. Yeah, but you know that whatever it is that Simon said, at least half the people watching are thinking the same thing. I had to agree with that, lol. I think sometimes the personal comments (i.e., like weight) are harsher than they need to be.

I'll be cheering for any country singer ;) .

I really wish you guys would get Canadian Idol. In a way it isn't fair....we get every single show of yours and obviously can't vote, but nobody even knows about our Canadian Idol most of the time. ITs not like the schedules would cut in with American Idol -- Canadian starts after American finishes!!!

Yes, we do get that show on our version of CMT. It really sucked when George Canyon was on it (who's obviously a canadian) because we couldnt vote for him! But its a good one, I love how they can play their instruments and write their own songs :)

I wasn't rally a Blake fan either but had to give him credit for originality....I like all the country, rock, and pop....not too crazy about the show tune type...I could not get into Fantasia. What ever happened to Elliot Yamin...he was a little strange looking but I thought he had a great voice.....I am in California so don't get to see it till after all the East coasters.

I saw that Paula-stalker guy too. All those goofy rhymes, though- it had to be a joke.

I loved Blake last year! :P I thought his Bon Jovi cover was great.

I think Elliot Yamin had a record come out, didn't he? He got a bunch of dental work done, too, looks better. I agree, he does have a great voice.

Spit-Boxing :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Yes Sarah, Elliot Yamin put out an album. I think a couple of the songs made it to radio already, I kinda like them too.

Yeah, that stalker song was creepy. It had to have been planned though because otherwise the body guards would have NEVER let him approach Paula. Security would have been all over him. My guess is that he was planted by the producers.

What was with that Alexis Coen chick? OMG, as soon as DH saw her he was like, she must have Celiac. HA! She was nuts!!! I'm assuming by his reference he was referring to how nuts I used to be. :)

ROFLMBO! She was something else, wasn't she?!

My kids and I watched the show together last night. They really felt sorry for Temptress. She was the girl that cried and Paula, Randy, and Simon walked her out and said hello to her family.

I doubt that I will watch tonight. I'm not sure I can stand it.

OMGosh, yes my heart was breaking for Temptress...that was truly sad and touching.

I only watched the first half...went to bed at 9:00. :lol: I recorded it so I can watch the rest and speed through as appropriate. :lol:

I also thought that Star Wars girl at the end was a little loopy...she kept saying they are only looking at the looks....which I hate to be honest with her that is the truth. She was a little too gone for them..

That one girl that sang the Star Spangled Banner was horrible! I think it was a disgrace!

Amanda, I actually have to disagree with you there. I think they're looking for much more than looks. Look at Rueben Studdard... He didn't exactly fit the mold, but he made it. Heck, he even won. Just my two cents.

Did you see any rockers last night? I was only half with it for the show. I have that nasty stomach bug that's been going around and I was struggling to keep my eyes open for most of the show. My favorites are usually the rockers (Gina, Daughtry, Nikki McKibbin...)

I think for the girls they are looking for looks, not for the boys tho, wel wait look at melinda she was far from cute. But they want a few bombshells to keep the teenie bopers voting or the dirty ole men lol..

I didnt watch it last night, i forgot and was watching biggest loser lol

I was a little suprised at the "Crazy Blond Chick" going off so much on SC.....I don't think he was hard on her or mean at all and she completely singled him out.....not that he usually doesn't deserve it. I am already in love.....with the last guy...he was the black guy with the braids...I thought his voice was amazing.

We only watched the last part of Idol again last night. That one girl who was singing Celine Dion and was supposed to sing The Power of Love was horrid. She did not look like she was even paying attention....she even talked monolog....I thought they screened people in the line or am I mistaken.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me. Soon after diagnosis I suffered...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Celiac Screening

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,
