I've been watching the most weird shows you can imagine, lol. An episode of Ultimate Coyote Search that I've seen 4 times already was on and well, that won over AI. :lol: :lol: :ph34r:

:lol::lol::lol: - That cracks me up.

Who would have guessed that Syesha would be the last girl standing??!!??

I didn't see the performances but I watched last night and saw the highlights. Brooke has really stumbled through the last couple of weeks . . . it was time. I think the pressure got to her and she couldn't let the past so-so performances go. David Cook, who I think should win, comes across as almost over-confident now . . . I don't like that, but I do think he's the best. I thought Archuleta did well although I'm still not a fan . . . Like Angie, he just annoys me. The Neil Diamond songs seemed to suit him and we finally got a break from the ballads. Syesha does much better in a Broadway type atmosphere/performance.

Oh goody I just found this thread. I love American Idol but don't admit it to people! LOL

I agree with everything you just said.

David Cook does seem over-confident. The first time I saw him though I thought of The Joker, the way his mouth/smile is! I know thats bad.

Archuleta is a good singer but boring. The girls seem to love him though.

I enjoyed watching Brooke but yes I think the pressure was too much. Same with the kid that just left. He seemed like the average teenage boy, not taking something seriously. He just needs time I think.

Syesha is pretty good, I vote for her just because she is the last girl standing!

Did you see where they showed past American Idol runners ups are doing a lot of Broadway? Its great to see how well they are doing. Its almost better to not win!

Do I need to pull up my old quote to remind you guys . . . I predicted the two Davids in the final . . . not what I wanted, but what I thought would happen. Every week, Archuleta gets on my nerves more and more . . . "Gosh"

Good thing there is only one week left. I now feel compelled to keep a tally of his nervous habits for next week!!!! Good thing we didn't talk about this sooner and turn it into a drinking game or something . . . we'd all be smashed!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Me too. I kinda don't hope he wins though, cuz he needs to have some artistic freedom. The pop machine did wonderful things for Jordin Sparks. I don't see that working for David Cook.

I didn't even watch the finale... I was taking Tori to the circus. :)

Was it good or was it another gay boxing themed show?

It was pretty good. It had lots of people from the days when i was growing up. They had zz top, george michael (gag), bryan adams, and of course carrie underwood, jordin sparks. I was hoping they had bo bice sing, but of course not.

You didn't miss anything. The show was blah! I bet the circus was fun, did Tori enjoy it?

I think I enjoyed it every bit as much as Tori did. It was totally awesome! I hadn't been to the circus (except for the cirque de soleil) since i was little so I had no clue what happened there. It was great. She even got called up to jumprope with the clowns in their preshow. She did have a hard time sitting still that long. Luckily the seats folded up so she could dance around a bit and burn off some energy. I only wish it would have been earlier in the day cuz the actual circus started at her bedtime. She did sit in my lap at the very end. Of course, I ate that up because she normally can't sit still that long. :) :) :)

BTW, she is now officially gluten free again. She's a totally different child. :)

Sounds fun, Angie!! :D

I watched part of the final show. I agree that David C. was the better choice. But, I still don't like him. :P

I hope that next season is better than this one. I quit watching, essentially, once Michael Johns was voted off.

See, I didn't even like that guy. I thought he was annoying and smug. It's amazing how much people's tastes can differ. And I did NOT agree that this is the most talented lineup of singers they've ever had. I believe that was last year. A lot of contestants last year didn't get enough credit just because they didn't fit the pop demographic.

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      By cristiana · Posted

      Quick update.  I saw the title of this thread and forgot that I'd actually started it!  Oh dear! It seems my new healthy diet was the cause of these symptoms,  I had a clear colonoscopy, thankfully. Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment.  Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore bone density as seen in scans but because the retained cells are no longer healthy, the process may contribute less to actual bone strength than healthy cells would.
