Say whaaaa? Idol started up?? Omg, I’m so happy to see you, Mister Jonny!! I shall have to watch yesterday’s show tonight along with tonight’s show and do a thread catch up.

Hope everyone has started the year well, but if you haven’t, like us, I hope it’s looking up from here. My husband’s 93 year old father passed at Christmas, and I was here with the kids while he went to the funeral back east. The day after he got back, he came down with what could only be the flu - influenza. Maybe h1n1, we will never know. But it’s a bad one. Sadly on the same day his 91 year old mom back east got it too. And it put her in the hospital by day 2. It was very touch and go with her but it seems she will make it. The day after, our teen son got it, then the older one, then the baby and I, and finally our elementary school boy. It felled us all. Some had flu shots and some did not. I had a very high blood level of vitamin d (99!) which did not protect me. Been sick a week and only 75% better! no strength. So 2014 can only get better for us!

Thanks for the invite. I was one of the few who liked JLo around here, so I am interested to see how this panel works.

I sure wished you all had made an X factor thread though I watched pretty much the whole season in about 3 weeks. One eppy a night. There was some MAD talent and the couple who won were so adorable some of you would have fallen for them like I did. (Did anyone besides me watch?). And Simon has already changed. He was absolutely delightful. Yes, Simon Cowell. When he got a bit snarky, miss lavato kept him in line. I never saw the man smile so much.
