Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Adam is a real nice guy indeed!!!

He is also a gentleman.....


Canadian

This waiter tweet evokes much thought, beneath its benign facade. Mmm, everybody who has known him says Adam is a nice guy; they can't be all wrong. This is not a facade because if it is, at one point or another, it will show through and people will know. From the days of AI, all who have worked with Adam describe him with lots of superlatives. This niceness about Adam is cultured / nurtured, mostly by his family but also from his own "outsider" experiences; and so he knows how to make people feel belong and that is one of the major ingredients, he's always appreciated as a nice guy. And most of all, what exactly is the point of being nasty in the first place; doesn't get one's point across efficiently, in my opinion.

@ Lam-my......JAK here

That comment was as profound and heartfelt as some of your verse. And your last line made me choke up with emotion....lump in my throat......I'm becoming a bit wistful in my old age! :)

Keep voting for"ourselves" as Adam's best fans.Miley Cyrus is only 2% behind him...Don't forgot to tonight,ok?

Hey JAK, you must have gone through and experienced much to feel like that, with regard that last line of my comment. Quite often, I feel your melancholy but you're spunky!! I think...by my standard anyway. lol!

Lam-my

love the waiters tweet.I hope he never runs into my demanding brother.

JAK haiku


Wistful, heartfelt thoughts
Cause a lump in her throat
Spunky, young at heart


Lam-my

JAK, I adore your haiku. Your line "young at heart" really hits home. It's what so many of us feel. We fans are of all ages, and our hearts have been stolen by this wonderful man, and he won't give them back. My heart is in a good place.

DRG

Very nice and thoughtful, Lam-my, you ate inspiring! Guess we could all learn from Adam! I must say I have always been super nice to people who wait on me in restraunts. My daughter who used to manage Drury inn's is a manager at Chili's in Houston, and boy the stories she tells about some of the jerks . Her people deal with and she had ti go calm them down, she could write a book! Sue

Sue
In your own way, you're very inspiring; how you keep going and going even when your very fingers refuse to obey your brain. I think this strong willpower helps one fight ailments/disease; it boosts one's natural immunity. And that's why we older folks can feel this and I've said before, Adam heals not by any conscious effort on his part. He just merrily carries on what he's doing and we merrily lap it all up. Isn't that a great thing!! lol! Natural, no contrivance. Everyone benefits. lol!

Lam-my

I could write a book about being a sever, whereas I've been in the hospitality business for 30 years- bartender, manager, you name it. what I found is when you kiss ass and always have a smile on your face for the most part people are nice. It's all about your attitude how people react to you. I can't think of more than 2 or 3 times when I met a complete jerk- maybe I'm lucky?

I've etched in my daughter's brain as she was growing up that when the time comes she goes out on a date with a boy, to always observe how he deals and treats the driver, the helper, the security guards, the porter, the chambermaids and the servers for that's who he truly is while he puts his best foot forward.
So far, I've not met anyone who we didn't like and I am thankful for that.

Where exactly are Adam & Sauli in this photo??

Look on right side, under small spot light, they are sitting just to the right of the big column.

@ Lam-my.......JAK here

I shall treasure my haiku...and I love the word spunky! In spite of a myriad of old lady ailments somehow I do feel spunky...in spots...on occasion! I have often been called sassy but never spunky!
lol

JAK haiku 2


Wistful, heartfelt thoughts
Cause a choke, lump in her throat
Spunky, sassy grandma

Love all you ladies on this site JAK, Lam-my, Sue, DRG, xyz, Glitzylady etc.........I don't know all your ages but in your hearts you are all ageless and your comments are fierce, loyal, and inspiring. I feel as though I've come to know a little about all of you and I come to this site as much to catch up on what's happening in your lives as in the life of our mutual obsession. My own children and husband don't understand my obsession with Adam but they certainly indulge it. I recently had a birthday and my son bought me a device called Apple TV so I can watch any tube video on the large screen instead of on my IPad. If you can ladies get this device it is quite wonderful to indulge in this kind of entertainment whenever you feel like it. Again thank for all your wonderful comments and for sharing my love for this talented and beautiful young man.

On behalf everyone mentioned and myself...Thank you! :)

Found them - thank you. :-)

@ GMT....JAK here......What a nice thing to say! My family laugh about my "hobby" but understand that generally I'm having fun coming here. A couple years ago I created a cyber Camp Lambert where we all met for a week or two in the woods with a lovely lake. We sat around the campfire and told Adam stories ( and were a little naughty ) we sang his FYE music till we were drowsy and all moved off to our cabins for happy dreams.
We were an extremely silly bunch at that time and coming to the site daily, sometimes many times daily, always provided a laugh. We've been more contentious lately, not quite as light hearted, maybe those good times will come back. I hope so!

Are they really still together??? Or just a friends. Didn`t Adam moved somewhere. Did he moved along? I haven`t heard him talking about love anymore.. Just asking

@ Lam-my....Just saw my Haiku #2

I love being a Grandma it was a goal I wanted to reach....as much as I loved being a Mom, Grandma was such a wonderful title and conjured up all kinds of happy memories for me. So, when it happened, it was like a miracle and that boy and I are soul mates!

People are not born with class. It is taught and learned. Obviously Adam walks the walk and I imagine so does Sauli or they would not be compatible. It takes the same energy to be nice as it does to be nasty to others. The Dark Side

@JAK
Wow I wish I had been at your Cyber Camp Lambert you are one creative and cool Grandma. I retired 2 years ago but still fill in for Principal/Vice Principals when needed so with the extra free time my obsession with all things relating to Adam has certainly grown. So keep on Rockin' and I will check in often!

GMT

9:31 am Where have you been since you haven´t heard anything??..Adam just recently said he is very happy and content with his relationship with Sauli an Sauli is THE person to support him in everything:)

@ GMT.....it's amazing how many former and present teachers we have on this site!......JAK \o/

@JAK

I think we......meaning teachers all love young people and especially those who dare to be different in their own unique way.

Wow, do we live in different worlds. I always told my daughters to be aware of how their boyfriends treat their own mothers. A man who loves and respects his mother will go on to love and respect his wife. My daughters were not exposed to porters and chambermaids. Silly me.

I think you live in the same world you are just recalling different decades. I remember porters, black employees who took care of passengers on trains. They made up your bed in a sleeping car and after dining car was closed went in and made a hungry child a bowl of oatmeal
if you had boarded the train in the middle of the night! I loved porters, they always had a supply of candy and coloring books and crayons. And chambermaids made you comfortable in your hotel room.
Brought hot water bottles for your cold toes or one to hug if you had the shivers. They also could scrounge up a sandwich or cookies and milk for a hungry 6 year old after midnight.

Maybe I shouldn't presume to speak for @ xyz, it's just that the nostalgia of those terms got to me.
I spent the first 10 years of my life traveling this country by train, by bus, by car and once, by wagon!!! No, not a wagon train, I'm not THAT old! When you have 2 flat tires on a deserted Georgia road a lift to the nearest town on a wagonload of watermelons was a treat!

A lot of nice people whose job was to assist you did it so cheerfully you wanted to repay their kindness.
Service with a smile has to some extent gone out of style.........
as well as genuine thanks to the people in service positions....pity
....it made the world a nicer place.....

I wasn't around my boyfriend's mother but I kept close eye on how he treated my mother! He was a love bug, never arrived or left without hugging my Mom and giving my Dad a handshake and masculine half hug, half pat on the back!
So I married him!.....JAK

@GMT

Thanks much.

@6:20

I'm sorry but where my family resided then is different from life in the US.
Families lived with domestic helpers around the house as well as drivers and most kids have lived-in nannies.
Some of her classmates in the international school whose parents were expats lived in service apartments where there are chambermaids and porters or caretakers why they were mentioned.
Most of the kids were well-bred but their true colors show how they treat house helps.

xyz

Oh, JAK, I guess we were typing simultaneously.
Thanks so much and you are right and we love traveling on the train as well.
What I really mean is the treatment to all who serve us or towards the littlest of our brethren.
And I have always shown my daughter by example random acts of kindness even when no one can see or will know.
Love you, JAK, always enjoy your wit and rhyme.

xyz

@xyz
I totally got where you were coming from. Living in Asia it is very common for people to have live in helpers.
I am lucky enough to have a full time live in domestic helper....my situation is a bit different in that I have a male helper who is mainly here to act as a carer for my disabled son, but he does do the cleaning, washes the car, keeps the back yard clean.... Horror of horrors, I do my own washing, ironing, cooking shopping, etc....
To other people on this site, you'd be surprised at how many people here don't even do those tasks. I had one friend that was horrified that I even make my kids lunchboxes!!!
And xyz is right, seeing how people treat their helpers can give you a true insight to them as people....and I'm not just talking the kids!

@HK fan

So sorry to know about your son, my dear.
It's good for you to live in HK and have someone to help with your son.
I feel for your situation as I see it with my cousin who has an autistic son who needs a 24-hour caregiver and her husband left her and her son.

I'm happy you found ADAM to give you and I joy despite life's difficulty.
I'm sure there are lots to be thankful for in our lives.
It's all about having the right attitude and having appreciation and gratefulness for everything we have.

xyz

@xyz
Thanks for your kind words.
Part of the reason that we've stayed in HK so long is that we've been able to keep my son at home as we can have full time help. He's physically and mentally disabled and just too heavy for me to manage on my own for long.I dread the day we have to go back to the UK...

@HK fan

I know a few expats who were in HK and have moved back to their country of origin and were able to sponsor their helper to join them.
I don't know about UK's law if you can do it like Canada which I know is open for sponsoring caregivers.
Your contract with your son's present caregiver will be useful to show proof when the time comes.
Praying you stay as long as you're happy in HK.
I include you and your family in my daily prayers, my dear, and other families in the same situation.

xyz

@xyz.
Thanks for the prayers.
I think its is much harder to get DH into the UK than it is to Canada, but also the wages in the UK won't be high enough to pay him...

Unfortunately for various reasons it looks like we will have to go back to the UK in the next 2-3 years...

still I suppose the plus side being, if I can't get out the house much with James I'll have even more time for berting:)))
