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.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
