Clay Aiken with a Smile to Brighten the Day

Something new and something old.
Thanks to Robyn428 and lisajluvsclaya for the new wonderful photos from the FEC Awards of smiling Clay Aiken!
The old is a favourite video of Clay singing When I See You Smile by dlh7777.

Who or what are Clay, Angela and Quiana singing to? We catch a glimpse at the end of the video.
I found a picture in my archives to solve the mystery.



Clay Aiken-When I See You Smile




The following is not for a smile, but as a reminder on the 'Troll" problem that's never ending on the internet.
Trolls are bullies looking for attention, they crawl web pages, blogs, and now Twitter. No matter where they turn up these tips help to discourage them.

Trolls post things for the sole purpose of getting people riled up. They might post something really obnoxious, maybe using profanity, or wild fabricated rumors, or something that will serve no purpose other than to offend or get people angry.
It be hard not to respond; but a response is what they are after. The only way to get them to go away is to completely ignore them.

A troll isn't someone stating an unpopular opinion in a reasonable tone. A troll is someone deliberately saying whatever they can to get people all upset. The goal of the troll is the upset, not to state an opinion.

What to look for:

- ridiculous statements about anything that are designed to get a rise out of people
- deliberately, really hurtful statements about a person.
- name calling
- swearing

Remember, you must completely ignore them...no faces, no words, no nothing.
Saying anything to them ensures they'll stay.
Don't read their post, and don't pass it on to others.



THANK YOU for your visits and comments! It's wonderful to see you here.

Have a great weekend!

Clay Aiken Smiles

Clay Aiken has the most sincere and infectious smile.
He puts a smile on my face and sunshine in my heart.





Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile.

Looking through my archives I realized how little Clay has changed these past years, except now he's even cuter and the smile is bigger.

Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you've been up to. ~Author Unknown



A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home. ~Author Unknown~


October 2008

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

The video of WISYS is delightful. This version includes the prebanter, and "Flat Clay" by Nortigar.




This WISYS version is of the song without the banter, by SLL
