Adam best thing that ever happened to AI

Let's face it, the show's seen better days. It was fading, then along came Adam. I for one would not be watching this season if not for him. I'm sick and tired of American Idols' antics, yet Adam keeps me coming back. Next year I'm done.

I don't know, I have a thing for Adam Sandler myself :-) (nm)

Same thing just happened to my mom.
This guy she goes to is expensive, and very good when he pays attention, but this is at least the second time he cut her hair way too short, so now he's losing her as a customer. She hates to complain, but I urged her last time to let him know, and she pointed out that it was 11 weeks before she needed another haircut, and he seemed horrified that time. But now he did it again (time has passed in between). Why don't they give a 4-week haircut so they see their clients sooner and make more money instead of less? So dumb. He needs more clients, not fewer.
You know, the same thing happened to me
when I left home and it hurt my feelings my mother would have done that. I never went to her home to visit but what I called to let her know in case she would not be at home, etc. I made sure that my kids (once grown and on their own) have keys to my home. It is my feeling that if something should go wrong, say injured on a trip or something, someone would have the keys to get in, who better than them? I am not saying you should not have them, after all your home and you can do what you want, just saying my feelings were hurt. I was not 16 either so that would factor into how I would feel.
same thing happened to me
When I first started dating again, over 4 years ago, the first several guys I dated all liked me and wanted to have more dates, etc. . I felt no attraction for them though. . I just didn't feel like I should waste their time or mine when I knew it was not going anywhere. . Now, I'm engaged to a great guy and we are getting married this year. . At the time of those first dates, it was tempting to just keep going out with them, just for the company and they were all very nice guys, but just no attraction. . Good luck!
same thing happened to my son sm
coming out of a Denny's restaurant last 4th of July! Myself and my daughter-in-law were behind him and happened to notice he had a "tail" coming out of his jeans! We got tickled but had to "stifle" so we could tell him. We got out in the parking lot and all three of us roared with laughter. I really wanted to get my camera out of my purse and snap that shot. He would have taken it all in stride and probably taken it to the fire department where he is a firefigher and they would have all had a good laugh! Poor guy!
Same thing happened to mine......sm
It was early last year when one of our males disappeared for about 2 days. He had never done this before. When he came home, he just kept meowing loudly and just sat in the floor and cried and cried. He looked horrible. We took him to the vet and his BUN and creatinine were so far off the charts, the vet didn't know how he was still alive. He said if this were a person, he would be in a coma. He had complete kidney failure. They kept him overnight, put IV's in him, flushed him, because he had crystals forming where he urinated, and the next morning the vet called and said he couldn't believe it, but he was still alive and seemed to be feeling better. He was actually eating a little and drinking water, which was what he needed. He was horribly dehydrated. This was a VERY healthy cat before this happened. He said it was not uncommon for males to have this happen suddenly without warning. He was eating wet food before but so were the others. It took a long time for him to return to a healthy weight...he lost a lot of hair from his chest up and looked horrible. He was a silver kitty before and but his hair came back darker. He got in some strange habit when he got sick like wanting to drink out of the faucet in the sink, wouldn't leave my son's bathroom, sat on the back of the toilet all day and called for me to come see him...weird behavior. He seems to be doing fine now, but he still drinks a lot of water (out of the sink) and has become much more loving. We're not sure how he lived through it either and the vet was amazed. We're not sure what caused it, if anything, other than his own urinary system went haywire.
Exact thing happened to me .. sm
but it was not a family member, it was a coworker of my ex-husband's whose wife had just had a baby and they wanted clean carpets. He had borrowed the cleaner once previously, and all was fine, so I had no problems with letting him borrow it a second time. Well, the second time, he was really slow in returning it, but like you, I never said anything until I wanted to use it and asked for it back. Then all of a sudden, it was *broke*. He said he had broken the upright handle completely off. Well, I had paid over 300 dollars for that, so we asked him to at least pay for half of replacement. He did so, but HE wanted to choose what type of cleaner I got to replace it, which was a much cheaper model. I said no. Needless to say, we were no longer friends after that. In my opinion, you just can't let this go. Carpet shampooers are not cheap and if she broke it, she should pay for at least half of a replacement. Tell her that. She knows she is responsible for it, but she will probably become angry, so it is up to you how far you want to push it. Again, though, I do not loan out anything like that to anyone any more. If they need to clean their carpets, they can pay for a rental unit, just like I did prior to buying my own. No one takes care of your items better than you. Good luck to you.
The best thing that happened to me today?
I woke up to another day.
Same thing happened to me and speaking from
experience - go see a doctor. I have peripheral vascular disease and being an MT was the worst profession because of sitting for long periods. I am not out of the business and haven't had any leg swelling, since I'm up walking around more. I had to wear prescription hose, and they were very uncomfortable. For a profession that has no medical benefits - the bad outweighed the good and I decided to get out. My legs thank me. They also don't ache like they used to. Get to a doctor and don't listen to salt intake, etc especially since putting your feet up helps. That's not caused by extra water - is a circlatory problem. Good luck!
Years ago when I was still married the same thing happened to me. My
ex husband's friend was cheating on his wife. They used to go to his cabin in the woods where he went deer hunting. This guy would use us an excuse and both he and his mistress would park their cars in our driveway. Used to really get me in a mood when I came home and there was no place to park because they were in our driveway. With me it's all water under the bridge because we have been divorced for many years, but to be honest it was one of the things that did it for me. My husband and I had a very different view on moral issues. Seems the longer I was with him the more apparent that became. I refuse to have that going on in my house. To make matters worse, my ex's friend once divorced and was married again to the same woman, still cheating on her. She is a lovely woman and probably to this day loves him and never found out.
Same thing happened to me plus they asked for a contribution to the honeymoon!
My husband's cousin's daughter was married in New York City. We traveled from Virginia for this wedding. The bride and groom barely spoke to our table, just came by to say hello and collect the envelopes. Six months later all we received was a picture card (same as the ones we receive at Christmas) with "Thank you for your gift. John and Jane" printed on the bottom. No "Dear Lois and Louie" written at the top, nada. Needless to say we will not be attending another wedding for this family. I was shaking my head after receiving this. I guess we were supposed to be grateful that she invited us at all?
The same thing happened with Skating with the Stars between Lloyd Eisler &
when Eisler's wife was 8 month's pregnant in Canada. What a couple of selfish people.
Adam
I think Adam is a wonderful singer. I also think he has a pretty big set to take on a Johnny Cash classic. That was awful.
Adam
I knew Adam was gay the first week AI was on. Doesn't matter a lick to me. He's talented and his sexual orientation shouldn't have anything to do with him winning. JMO.
Did you all know that Adam
was planted by Randy. He'd done work for Randy's studio before. Explains why he's been their 'chosen one', because they literally already did choose him. I don't have any faith that the show isn't rigged.

Oh, me too - Love Adam
He was one of the only ones I absolutely loved last night. I think overall a lot of them gave poor performances, although I did love the 16 year old, I can't think of her name. My daughter voted quite a bit last night for the both of them.
I totally believe Adam has this in the
bag unless he totally screws up. With the exception of his Ring of Fire interpretation (which wasn't really bad, just totally off the wall) I really believe he is the best of the lot. Think he and either Danny or Allison will be in the finals.
Adam's Mad World
I thought he was excellent! I started out liking Danny and still kind of do, but he doesn't have me on the edge of my seat with anticipation about what he's going to do this week. I start out not carying either way about Adam, and now I think he's the best. Loved this performance!
FYI - Idol ran 7 minutes over on Tuesday night and Adam performed last, which is why you probably missed, and why most people's Tivo's missed it too!

I love Adam
He's unique and amazing. I do like Danny though and would be just as happy if he wins.
Adam still is the one to beat
Yes, I agree he's become over-hyped. But to be honest, he's the only reason I am watching AI this season. All the other contestants remaining are BORING. I do believe Allison has a great voice and could have a very good future in music. Danny's songs all sound alike, and I have found him uninteresting from day 1, although he does have a decent voice. I always look forward to Adam, he is so talented and diverse. I don't get it when people say he's screechy, that's not what I'm hearing, LOL! He is on a totally different level than all the remaining contestants. My only beef with Adam is that his eye makeup looks so much better than mine does (when I bother with it).
I actually hope Adam does not win.

Adam might appear to be like your husband says, but
his demeanor is actually really nice. Softspoken, when he is not singing and screaming and rather shy.
Very good looking and really innovative!
I think he will be the winner!
Adam may be talented, but NOTHING about his
nm
I like Adam....Have from the beginning...
I hope he wins. He is a rocker, have you listened to a rocker who doesn't scream?
Adam deserves the win
But America is voting, and "niceness" and mediocrity ofen wins out over raw, unbridled creativity and talent. It just turns a lot of people off. People gravitate toward the familiar and comfortable, and that's what Kris is. Nice voice, pleasant personality, but compared to Adam, like sitting back and watching the grass grow. Adam will be a huge star, win or lose. At this point, it doesn't really matter who wins.
I think that Adam is by far the better singer
Yesterday he was screeching only 1 song.
The 1st song, Bad World, was quite mellow.
Great voice !
Adam deserves to be the winner.
Who watched 'Dancing with the Stars?'
I think Gilles should have gotten the crystal ball.
Shawn? Nah !
and *Click* with Adam Sandler...nm
I want to see it soon - I love Adam Sandler! (nm)

Adam Sandler - he would be so funny (sm)
I've had a doctor recently sing the last names of patients - I love it when they realize there is a real human listening to them :-)
I think Adam Sandler would make me laugh all day.
To say that Adam's was unique is a mouthful!
I thought he sounded like a little girly guy. Now don’t get me wrong, maybe that is what he wants but heck no I thought the song was horrific. Ugh!
I get a little tired of the hype over Adam.
nm
Good point! I could never buy a CD of Adam's
nm
Adam and Gookey in the final
,,,,,,,and Adam to win!
I was glad Adam was in the bottom two.
He's getting so monotonous. I would have preferred Allison go before Matt though. And what about Kris?! He should've gone before Matt or Allison. Guess the young girls are voting enough for him to keep him around. Either way, at this point, as long as Danny stays, I'm happy :)
I wonder how much damage is being done by the groups like 'vote for the worst' and DJs who tell them to do that, etc... Wish they'd let it play out without interference.
We actually turn down the volume when Adam
nm
Adam is so hyped. No one has a chance.
nm
Adam and Allison should be in the finals,nm

Adam Walsh mystery solved
The guy who did it confessed on his death bed. It was the guy John Walsh always thought did it. I'm glad they will finally get some peace now cause 26 years is a long time to wait.
Adam is all over the internet with his own French kissing but
not with a member of the opposite sex. Oh-la-la
All of Adam's songs are starting to sound exactly
alike. I think he peaked too soon & that's all he's got. The same predictable screams in every song... I think it's really getting boring.
Adam? Cant stand him either. Idol is a joke
nm
I thought Adam's voice was SO annoying.
nm
all Adam Sandler movies will make you laugh
nm
Adam Sandler, Michael Jordan, The Rock (sm)
How's that for variety? LOL!
Adam and Eve, to tell them to stay the heck away from the forbidden tree!!! sm
Tell me we wouldn't be in better shape just hanging in the Garden of Eden??? (When my daughter was little, she used to wish she had a time machine so she could go back).
I prefer Danny. He's got soul, unlike Adam.
x
Adam's screaming is getting repetitive, predictable, and boring... All his

Happiness is a heart thing; pleasure is a head thing.nm
When it happened before
about 5 years ago it was about 3 months after the birth of my first child. I have an 18 month old and she was born via C section. I had a pap smear about a month after my 18 month old was born and it was okay. Just the one in April has come back abnormal.
Oh boy! I'm really sorry that happened. SM
I don't blame you or your son for not inviting him to wedding. But perhaps, just perhaps, you should have. I have a feeling ex-hubby probably realized he made a huge mistake long ago and is sorry for it. He is probably now taking that anger out on you. If he continues, (gulp), try talking calmly to him and tell him you understand how he feels. If he has shown any atonement, see if your son would meet with him, briefly.
It takes a lot to show forgiveness. Be the better person.
That happened to me too.
I gave a HS gal money for her grad, never heard a thanks. Then I gave her $ when her baby was born a few weeks later. I thought well she doesn't write thank you notes apparently, but the next time I saw her at a picnic, she didn't even say thanks. I still think thanks are necessary when someone gives you a gift.
