That was hysterical!
Awww Dan...
This reminds me of a situation that happened in my son's 2nd grade class.
A little girl really PUNCHED my son in the head at PE. Mike and the little girl were both taken to the principal's office. My son wasn't hurt but the little girl was inconsolable. She was just crying and crying. The principal asked her to apologize to Michael.
Michael told the principal "It's okay. She just lost her grandma and that's a TERRIBLE person to lose...."
He later told me that God made him big so people who were hurting could use him to let out their frustrations. He internalizes NOTHING. I wish I could be that way....
Children react differently to pain than we do. They act out and want others to hurt like they do and can't express. Be patient with him, Dan. He needs a way to express his pain and you can help him with that.
A few years later my son lost HIS grandma and then 6 months later his grandpa. He was MY rock during this time, even though he was only 10. So far he's survived it but there are times, like holidays and birthdays, that it is REAL hard. His Dad is schizophrenic so I have to be all things to him. It's trying but he thanks me for it everyday.
Man, it's hard being a child and a parent when you lose a parent. I know you have so much pain about your Dad, too and it's hard to get someone you love so much thru it, too, but, believe me, it's healing for you, too.
I do have to say that I agree with those who posted yesterday morning about all the extra chit-chat in this thread. It's kind of annoying and distracting. Especially those that are just trying to boost their post count. It's annoying to have to scroll through page after page of chit-chat just to finally get to a couple of pages of what this thread is actually supposed to be about. Why can't all of you that want to chit-chat about other stuff start a different thread for that, you know - one of those clique threads - and
A page or two here and there wouldn't be so bad, but when it's page after page after page of just yapping back and forth with nothing mentioned about Idol then, to me, it's annoying.
I realize I am not a "regular poster" here so probably my humble opinion doesn't count anywaybut I have stopped by many, many times to read people's opinions on the singers (there are a few, I won't mention any names, that I really, really enjoy reading and look forward to seeing what they think) and just read what people have to say about the show, even though I don't often chime in with what I think. But it just seems like here lately it has gotten to be more of an "idle" chat thread, rather than what it is supposed to really be for.
I agree with you here. I don't consider KLC as country. Early in this season (top 20 week maybe) was when Simon said to her that perhaps she could do a country song and she said, (I'm paraphrasing) "I can definitely do country. I love country." It was like it was an afterthought. As if she decided, well if I can't make it on AI by singing what I really want to sing, I'll sing what THEY want me to sing. Country fans don't like non-authentic singers.
I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, but I'm the only one who chose the wrong word when I said "drivel" and for that, I truly apologize to all.I agree with you here.

And, a little OT, (I have no problem with OT. I just scroll through if I'm not interested. No big deal.)
Dan,
I was up in your neck of the woods today. I was in Charleston and Mount Pleasant.
I PM'd another poster about this earlier today, but I think I should make it public too.
No, talking about your Dad that just died is not drivel. I would not intentionally try to hurt or offend someone by saying such, and I'm truly sorry if I did offend you or hurt you. My own Father passed away January 7th so I know how it feels. Honestly, I did not even read all the posts that were not directly related to Idol so I didn't know what they were about. I would read a couple words and move on. I didn't read each and every post when they weren't talking about Idol. But there were definitely more than just 2 pages. Lots more.
So, I do apologize for offending/hurting anyone. That was not my intention. I guess where I got the "drivel" from was when someone said they were "really upping their post count" from all the other chatting. I don't even know who said it, I just remember reading it.
I still think it's annoying to have several pages of "other stuff" that have to be scrolled through to get to what the thread is really about. But that's just MY opinion, and like I said before I know I haven't posted on this thread much so my opinion probably doesn't really count all that much with most of you anyway.
Oh, like you are so far behind with all your spoilers and breaking news posts.
