Thank you to everyone who wished my Grandma a happy birthday  I'm not sure she is going to quite get it when I pass on the good wishes! She was nearing 90 when the internet was just getting big and she wasn't interested in learning something so totally new at that point. She knows we use it for email and to research stuff, but I'm not sure she has a clue about forums, twitter, etc. Today she was telling me about her brother's first transportation of his own - he had a really sporty horse & buggy in his late teens and was really popular with the girls in town. It is mindblowing how much the world has changed during her lifetime! When she was born, women didn't have the right to vote - she was 12 when the amendment was ratified. |

Since we didn't actually hear Adam talking in this US Weekly article we don't know exactly how he said things or the tone. I thought some things were written very oddly and wondered if what was asked matched what was said in writing. For example at one point he says he faced many obstacles and the next section the first line is I really haven't face many obstacles. I think it is awkwardly written interview.  |

Can someone summarize what happened today? I'm about to fall over. No way to read 30 pages.... Damn, let me try! US magazine did an interview where they misquoted a question about marriage. They said Adam said, "Marriage is not in his future." He really said "Near future." Fans discussed original quote. Adam did rumor control and tweeted the word "near" and told the tabloids to "P lease not fuck with him." Sauli tweeted that the question was stupid but the answer was perfect. Then Sauli tweeted that he was sad because he already had found the perfect white dress. Adam retweeted Sauli's tweet. Then Adam tweeted that he and Benny Blanco were recording today and for us to "get ready." Sauli's new blog is out, talks about Montreal and NYC. No Adam mentions but you can see Adam's refection in the 4th picture. Momtomany got a promotion she wanted and didn't even interview for! AdamTopia is a Happy place and we are all brilliant! ;D - You said it perfectly!    +++ YEAH! Momtomany! WOW What a week you've had! :D (p.s. - I must be OCD cuz I do everything in 3's LOL! Hmmm?) :-/ |

This is totally OT - but I went to visit my Grandma today and I'm just so thrilled for her upcoming birthday on Thursday. She will be 103 the day after tomorrow!  Her knees have given up & she has asthma - other than that she is doing just fine. (Well, her hearing is bad - have to talk loud and succinctly around her!) Holy Moly! Your grandma has great genetics !! Congratulations to her and you  |

My husband's grandfather had such amazing stories about Europe and coming to America. I wish I would have done a journal of it all. |
