Ok, why would you need to close your eyes to like David Cook? I think he's freakin adorable. And Paula was right when she said women like smart men. I wouldn't want Tennis Boy to father my children, sorry. I'd pick the guy who understands me when I use big words. And he's so cute!

:lol::lol: Different taste... I don't care for the greasy, just woke up out of bed look that he has. I said I liked him better when I only had to listen to him. Who is Tennis Boy? :lol::lol:

I never did finish watching last week's performances.

I'm so out of the loop, lol. I haven't been watching at all since they stopped airing at 8:00...I guess I need to set my recorder so I can at least see the performances, lol.

I do tend to find that my tastes differ from a lot of women's. I actually don't think Michael Johns is attractive at all, he sneers when he sings. Totally puts me off. 'Tennis Boy' was referring to a promo spot they ran about a guy who's 'surpising thing about himself' is that he plays tennis. Gee, that's fascinating. I don't remember which one of them that was though, it's kinda funny if it's Michael Johns.

Yeah Michael is an athlete, he has played a lot of different sports but went to college on a tennis scholarship. He also has been a tennis intructor the last few years.

I thought everyone did pretty well last night. It wasn't my favorite from David Cook, but even his average is pretty darn good.

My favorite performances were Michael Johns and Jason Castro.

I'm going to pull a Randy and say that everyone else "was just allright for me" :lol:

They weren't bad, but they didn't blow me away either.

Jason Castro blew me away last night. I think that was by far his best performance. I love that version of Somewhere over the Rainbow and he did it beautifully.

I agree. It was amazing and Jason sang it so beautifully.

That is one of my favorite songs, the version that he sang of Iz Kamakawiwoʻole's.

Mmmmm... Me too. I get choked up every time I hear it. Last night was no exception. The original version of the song just doesn't have the same passion as Iz's.

My 6 year old niece wanted to know if Paula was embarassed because of her boobs falling out. I found that to be an odd choice of a dress (or shirt, what was it?).

Did anyone who watched Idol Gives Back think CELIAC when that poor autoimmune disease riddled family was on?

I didn't see the show, but I did see a clip of Michael Johns singing Aerosmith and that's the first time I've liked him. I still don't think he's attractive though. He just looks... tense. I gotta look up the clips of the other performances. I do like Jason Castro, he's the kinda guy I'd go see in a cabaret setting, not the kinda guy who sells out civic centres. I shouldn't say that though, because I saw John Andrasik from Five for Fighting in a multi-artist concert in a huge civic centre and he just played his piano and he had EVERYONE'S attention. So maybe JAson Castro really could 'get there'. I also think he's a STONER!

And I love Iz too, anybody heard Eva Cassidy's version?

I'll join that club. He's my favorite, out of the guys.

That was my favorite performance the other night. The rest were just all right for me too. :lol: I won't surprise you all by saying that I really did not like David Cook, even with my eyes closed. :lol:

I also tivod it, so I'll look for that family you are talking about Angie.

I peeked in this thread to see who got kicked off, but I guess they didn't do it last night on the special? I noticed on the tv schedule there is an extra show this week on tonight for the elimination.

Geesh, these two and three nights a week shows are killing me trying to keep up!

Yes, I agree! Currently, I work part-time some nights. When I'm home, we rarely turn the TV on until after 9:00 p.m.. Thank goodness for Tivo!!

      My daughter also has it, and it's much better to discover it early. What was the positive level for her test?

      I forgot to mention that I also had to avoid eggs for a few years after initially going gluten-free, but could eat duck eggs without issues. Fresh duck eggs can often be found in Asian markets (be sure they are fresh eggs, because they sell various kinds of duck eggs that look the same like salted eggs, eggs with embryos inside, etc.), farmer's markets, and...

      UPDATE: here I am a couple months past my full diagnosis and going gluten free. I’ve been feeling a lot better. More energy, joint pain has gone down a lot. Haven’t really had the headaches and migraines I’ve had for years. My daughter(age 17) has had some symptoms which we thought were something else, but with my diagnosis I said, have ...

If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      UPDATE:  here I am a couple months past my full diagnosis and going gluten free.  I’ve been feeling a lot better.  More energy, joint pain has gone down a lot.  Haven’t really had the headaches and migraines I’ve had for years.   My daughter(age 17) has had some symptoms which we thought were something else, but with my diagnosis I said,  have the dr test her for celiacs.  Her antibodies came back as greater then 100.  So she is scheduled for her endoscopy and going to be joining me on this journey.

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...
