Forevermore Expanded Edition: Coming Soon!
A surprise Friday morning tweet graced us with THIS!
How soon is SOON? There are so many things COMING SOON – as the anticipation in the fandom builds to epic proportions SOON can’t come SOON enough!! We’ll update you with the details of the expanded edition of Forevermore as information becomes available. Speculation is already running wild – new songs? The Rainbow music vid? Other music vids? Will there be dancinggggggg? (breathe, breathe, breathe….)

Early Birthday Wishes for David!
Have you signed David’s birthday card? Join the 500+ fans who are sending their best wishes to David on his 22nd birthday! It may seem a little early – it’s only October you say – but it will take some time to have the card processed and sent to South America to make sure it reaches him by December 28th! Add your pic along with your birthday wishes so that he can connect your face to your name – which may come in handy in 2014 lol!

Cause we’re going for a walk down Memory Lane! We may even get credit for miles with the DA2014FitClub (not really, but we can wish lol)
2010 Q-Ball in Pittsburgh
Two years ago today David performed at the Q92.9 Fall Q-Ball Think Pink event at the Altar Bar in Pittsburgh (or Picksburg as David says). TOSOD was newly released and David was doing a radio tour to promote the album. These acoustic concerts with Mike K. on the guitar showcased David’s flawless vocals at it’s pure and simple best! Not to mention David was rocking the red plaid shirt!
Backstage Q-Ball (credit: bugs1940)
We were fortunate that Muldur (aka 8throwcenter) was in attendance and provided her stellar vids that captured all the energy and fun! I’m going to post her video descriptions so you can get a first-hand idea of what it was like to be there up close and live!
Something ‘Bout Love
David is introduced, and as he is about to sing, discovers the mic is hopelessly attached to the stand at the keyboard and he pushes forward anyway and sings the first part of SBL seated at the keyboard. Finally help arrives and frees the mic for him and he is able to get up and move around. Doesn’t hurt the performance. Really great performance of SBL.
Angels
I think the most tender and powerful Angels I ever heard David sing. You decide.
Apologies for me trying to adjust to a new camera and not being very steady. I was listening to him sing.
Elevator
In which David graciously signs a CD for a fan in the front row, and then engages the audience with Elevator. I love the end where he asks for audience participation, and don’t miss Mike K’s accompaniment, especially during this part where he seems to know exactly whether to strum loud or soft or not at all for the audience parts. Elevator live is so much fun!
My Hands
Another innovation in this song, this is my favorite acoustic version of My Hands.
Crush
In which David is invited to sing at a fan’s wedding, and sings a wonderful acoustic Crush. I love Crush with just David, the keyboard and Mike on guitar.

2008 ALTNOY Exclusive on FOD
Four years ago a little birdie dropped by FOD and delivered a sneak peek at what was then a brand new David song! A certain someone was looking for feedback from fans, and the poll showed that ALTNOY was a definite winner! This is still one of my all time favorite songs, and I really love the music vid – which should have been on VH1 so we could vote on it for the Top 20 Countdown – but that’s another story….

Waiting for the Rainbow Connection
They say patience is a virtue – if that’s the case, then this fandom is one of the most virtuous ever! Excitement is building ever since this tweet teaser from @JonDaza
The big question is: What is the definition of VERY SOON? There are unconfirmed rumors that the Rainbow music vid may debut as early as this Saturday! Then there is the question of DANCING – will he or won’t he? If there is dancing (oh please let there be dancing) what style of dancing? Some are hoping it’s that gangnam style that seems to be all the rage now – not sure about David’s equestrian skills, but we’ll be happy with whatever style of dancing it may be!
Comments was buzzing with anticipation, and as usual, when in doubt, PARTY! There was discussion about a Rainbow Release party, and everyone decided on what rainbow themed food we could bring to the party. Skittles, jellybeans and M&Ms were a yummy suggestion, as were rainbow cakes and cupcakes – and after eating all that rainbow food we would be so full that someone volunteered to bring rainbow Tums!
Let’s start with this awesome Rainbow Cake!
Here’s a selection of other Rainbow goodies including some fruit for you health conscious folks – the rest of us will be getting a sugar rush – what a rush, what a rushhhhhh!
And look who’s captured for all eternity in colorful jellybeans! Maybe one day someone will immortalize David in his very own jellybean portrait! Any volunteers?

Scarfchuleta and Other Neckware
To continue Joanie’s fun post from yesterday, here are more scarf pics to enjoy! Keep sending ‘em and we’ll keep posting ‘em!
Now for the OTHER neckware! David also loves ties – maybe moreso now that he has to wear them every day – but he’s had some pretty memorable outfits that included some cool ties, and many fans have gifted him with ties over the past four years, so he must have quite the collection! Here’s a few great outfits with ties:
KimK found these cool ties that seem perfect for David!
Have you ever gifted David a tie? Share your fave pics of David sporting a tie and we’ll post them tomorrow!

Happy 205th day!!! Thanks for the fabulous TGIF post, Kalei!!!
Scarfchuleta and Tiechuleta FTW!
An OMJ top pic is a wonderful way to start the day!
Love D’s rockin’ red outfit and rockin’ messy hair look at the Altar Bar show! The change-ups in My Hands are just beautiful….a master at making a song fresh again!
ALTNOY is also my all-time fave D song…..and the MV is on the top of my list!

Thanks Kalei for today’s post! The video for ALTNOY I’ve always felt is so awesome! So much was put into that video. The song itself is one of the songs that showcases David voice the best on his debut album. It should have been as big a hit as Crush, if not bigger. I listened to a few songs from Forevermore last night, such as Rainbow, NA, Whereever You Are, Hold On, Reaching Out! It seems like it’s been so long since I’ve listened to it. My goodness, it’s such a beautiful album!!
Now that’s a tight H.U.G. (with hair sniffing!)

THANKS sarahhazel for all the links! You are the link MASTER!
Anita…Just ordered another forevermore album…wore the other one out! Play it every night …just so BEAUTIFUL! Nandito Ako is one of my FAVORITE songs ever sung by David! That list keeps getting longert and longer!
sarah-You are so right! Those songs do sound like they were made just for him! They are so heartfelt, and the melodies really showcase David’s strengthens extremely well!
VaBeach-You wore out you’re CD! Good for you!! I wish I hadn’t stopped listening to it. Silly me! What also makes this album so special is the fact David recorded this over the span of just a few days, and most of the songs he never heard before! How could anyone not be impressed with that?
Morning! Yet another wonderful post today…wow! It just amazes me each and every day since David left how much we have to enjoy while he’s away. The plethora of pics, videos, stories….nothign short of spectacular.
The Angels video from Muldur at the Altar Bar is my favorite of any of David’s Angels performance…just sumthin’ abou it….wow! LOVE thop’s ALTNOY vid, too…it made such a great opener for David. Here is one of my favorite ALTNOY vids…he was soooo ON FIRE that night! :

WHAT?????!!!!!!!!!
FOREVERMORE EXPANDED EDITION!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my heck that pic!
i wonder what will be on the expanded edition? the rainbow remix? it’s not like david could record more songs. maybe all the music vids.
i also wonder who picked the cover. it’s a nice picture.
eeek.. I love that pic, cover whatever it is…. SO MATURE!!
so is it time to start bugging wow hd if they’ll sell it?

Ivory will make an announcement soon re the Forevermore Expanded ed
And yes the Rainbow MV is included…
But it won’t happen this month.
blue lol yes! I still haven’t gotten the Begin postcard version yet I ordered!!!
jackryan do you mean we don’t get to see the Rainbow MV yet or this month??
Candy see a lot of the kids doing that.. ha my guess that is not standard mish doo!!
Hi everyone, Great post as ALWAYS. Love all the beautiful pictures. I guess I am not up on my country artists, because I thought that picture od David and Billy Ray Cyrus was D and Kieth Urban. The only country singer I really liked was Bryan White, thought he was sweet.
KIMK – I think I have commented several times across 3 threads already about this. As mentioned SOON & VERY SOON are relative terms.
Since expanded ed won’t happen this month, then it is only natural that the MV won’t happen this month, right?
But at least Kari has released the CD cover, right? That should say something

David Archuleta’s “Forevermore” Album Expanded Edition http://goo.gl/9yhF4
There will be an expanded edition of David Archuleta’s “Forevermore” album released! Here’s what David’s manager shared along with the expanded edition album cover below:
Look what is coming soon!!!
How many additional tracks do you think are on the album? We can’t wait to learn more!
What a fantabulous post, Kalei you out Rainbowed yourself! How any fan could be bored while David is gone is beyond me. The time and energy our Mods put into keeping the site full of goodies blows my mind! I love being a spoiled fan that calls FOD their home!
jackryan oh nos!!! lol they torture us so terribly with SOON AND VERY SOON!!!!!!!!!!
jackryan oh and lol thank you!
GAH-Love the new Forevermore cover so handsome and mature. And those danged eyes and lips!
KIMK – spice of life
Just wait a while. As David croons, “Good things come to those who wait”
Besides, I think he is pacing us. I mean after titillating our imagination with that salsa-dancing-shadow-boxing-air-kicking-white-hat-donning-w/-kneeling-pose he pulled one weekend, we neeeeeeed a breather.
Yup… killing us softly… (chuckles)
Soon..very soon, maybe soon, not so soon..its all good…anticipation is good for the soul, keeps us energized!
jackryan lol he is holding us hostage for the next two years.. no I take that back most likely for as long as I live my guess!
EEEEEEKKKKK!!! Forevermore EE!!!!!!!!!! That cover pic……OMJ–D.D.G.!!!!!!!!!!
I’m using one of my SPAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIES right now!!!!!!!!!!

sarah- I think Jasmine was more kilig lol who could resist David charm lol
Jhen–I know, it’s gorgeous…..hmmm, wonder if that’s the final image?
Jhen–Could be….haha….I noticed she intently looks at him a few times during the Grand Fans Day and the NA Cast PressCon….
Anita- we are very blessed because we found David.
I prefer a colored cover pic….just because of the EYES….hehe……
sarah- Jasmine admitted on twitter to a fan that she have crush on David, I think Eula have crush on David too. It will not be a surprise, when you meet David , you will got hook on him. Not only because he is handsome, but because of he is kind, humble, sweet and real.
Jhen–yup, I feel sorry for the guy…haha
….thousands of young ladies waiting in the wings to marry him when he comes back!
sarah- colored cover pic is more attractive, but black and white is classy.
Random: This is my fave WAIT performance….Acoustic is the best!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nUnKsRkTcE
Jhen–either way, I think is classy….because that face is never not classy…
sarah- oops! too many ladies are running after him lol, we never know, might be a lot ladies in Chile are also crushing this handsome guy.
Sarah- David face is perfect, classy!

Sarah-LOVE IT!
oinkiers–you still have those little ones with you?….you must be exhausted, huh?!
potluck – I remember Bryan White! Loved his Right Place album. After reading your comment I started wondering whatever happened to him as he seems to have vanished. I googled him and apparently he’s working on a new independent album. He’s got a great voice so I’ll be interested in hearing it.
Jhen – David’s hand on your waist and you lived to tell the story?? Lol.
oinkiers – lol. I think all moms deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. My sister has six kids. I only have one and may add one more in the future but that’s it for me.
Ksf and potluck- Love Brian White!!
Sarahhazel- Yes they all left!! I am actually doing okay I think because I still have mine to chase down we will see once they crash……..:lol:
In celebration of Tiechuleta today……(the HAIR, the everything!…)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQydwNGcFw&feature=related
ksf–Hi!!!….Me, don’t know how I could’ve handled more than 2 kids…haha….my brother has 6 kids too!
sarahhazel – yep! It definitely takes special people to rear that many kids…and not go crazy in the process.
Btw, love ALTNOY music video too! I hope he makes more videos like it in the future. It would be great to see him have some human interaction and not just be the narrator.
sarahhazel @4:43 – Awww…David won’t get to have those special Thanksgiving rolls this year
ksf–I know, poor thing…..at least he’s got company there….they will all be missing their usual holiday dinner fare and their families.
Anyway, I need to find what that orange-crusted rolls he’s talking about….haha….sounds yummy!
sarahhazel – you’re right. He won’t be alone. Yeah, I’ve never heard of those rolls before. I wonder if it’s a traditional Utah thing, like funeral potatoes? I’m just looking forward to the pumpkin pie and cornbread dressing and turkey of course. Yum! Yum!
Guess I should quantify the earlobe thing. Hubby has nice big, soft, pinchable, kissable ones. So that is the first thing I notice.
Gosh, don’t know if that made sense or if I should have even said anything as it may have been TMI!
I think these are the rolls David was talking about. Even if they aren’t they still look yummy! You’ll have to scroll down a bit for the recipe http://www.sugardishme.com/2012/04/06/anticipating-easter-ham/
ATX-
share a girl!!
tx- that is suppose to say share away girl!
ATX – haha! It’s funny the things that catch our attention on the opposite sex. I have a thing for hands. I think you can tell a lot about a man from them. Lol.
Found one that’s easy to make!
http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/orange-honey-dinner-rolls/389af8c3-12ae-4c20-b379-deb69b5774a9
Jazzy – thanks! Those do look yummy. I actually was thinking that the orange things that David referred to might be cheese, but I wouldn’t have thought about carrots. I wonder if these are the ones he’s referring to.
sarahhazel – hmmm! Honey! Yum!
LOL…jazzy–you’ve found a yummy one too!….don’t really know what orange thing David’s talking about but….either way…..as long they have yummy orange anything in them…haha!
Maybe Frankie knows what that orange thing really is!
ksf–I’m a “honey” person….haha! YUM!
karin @zerogravity1
UMMMM…SCUSE ME MR ELDER A @DavidArchie BUT WHAT IZ U EXPANDED ON???? WE ARE READY FOR MORE HEEYYYY HEYYY’S AND MMMM MMMM’S AND OOOOHHHH’S!
sarahhazel – lol! Frankie hasn’t made an appearance in a while but I’m sure he knows what David’s talking about. Frankie knows all things it seems.
ksf–Yup, best source for inside info!….LOL….but I thought Frankie’s a she???
sarahhazel – oh, really?? Lol! I don’t know why I was thinking they were a “he.” I’m confused now.
ksf–that’s OK, cuz I’m confused too….
ksf and sarahhazel- being confused is nothing new to me………
so it is al good!!
*all
oinkiers–welcome to the club!
oinkiers – lol
My hubby’s practicing Blackbird on his guitar….so of course it reminded of D’s epic Bb in MB….so my ODD told me to show him the video….& he said “great cover!”….HA!!!
Sarahhazel- that is awesome!!
I love Karin’s tweet! I was just thinking about David’s gorgeous MMMM’s on Forevermore before I read this, and was listening to “You Are My Song”, and David’s humming at the beginning always makes me melt, melt, melt!!!
Nancy @NancyFOD
@blisskasden @DavidArchie They finally picked a CD cover photo that does him justice! He’s gorgeous.
ummm by the way I need that rainbow piggy tie!! Don’t you all think Wibur would look so handsome in it!!
For the PARTY!!
oinkiers–we like jamming here at home from time to time!
Anita–I could just listen to David’s MMMM’s and HEYYYY’s, WOAAHHs and hummings and I’ll be a very melting but happy camper…..haha!
…..and the YEAHHHH’s too!
oinkiers–I’ll get the cute piggy tie for Ella!
So I just thought of another candy we could bring but have not seen since I was very little and don’t remember what they are called…….. what was that candy that rainbow colors and were little dots and you pulled them off the paper to eat them…..does any one else remember these and or the name?
oinkiers–are u talking about Necco candies……they’re midway thru this list:

Umm, saw gummy bears too!
No, thats not them!! But I saw spice drops
I just realized I haven’t opened my TOSOD-ATE album ever since I got it….and that’s way back the Asian tour I think!….LOL
They were really small and stuck to paper!
oinkiers–dang….
Sarahahzel I think it is time to open it!! LOL!!
oinkiers, are they stuck to the paper? if they are I think, if I’m not mistaken they were just called dots, I think they have been around forever.
Sarahhazel- they are on the second page the necco candy buttons……. was that what you were talking about
Nora- thats what I have always called then LOL!!
oinkiers–no, it’s the one on the 1st page…..but aren’t we looking for something else?….what about that one that nora posted? …..called DOTS.

I second this motion!
WOW!!! AN EXPANDED VERSION OF FOREVERMORE!!!!!! I’m speechless. So many surprises, and it’s even more fun because it’s so unexpected. I can only hope it will be reasonably priced. I’m assuming it will be available at WOWHD?
Maybe the DVD will have the Forevermore and Rainbow and I’ll Never Go MVs and maybe other stuff too? Anything is possible. We are the LUCKIEST fans EVER!!!
Mystery solved: it’s DOTS…..haha!
Thank you, nora!
kmb–We are!!!….very pleasant surprise!….I’m sure it will be available at WOW HD!
Oinkiers-They have been around forever, I had them when I was a kid, and believe me that was many, many moons ago, also my grandkids, have had them, I remember sometimes trying to eat them off the paper and sometimes taking the paper with them.
The one I am talking about is on the second page of the link you put up canddy buttons or like I said and Nora dots!! LOL!!

Hi all….sitting in Dulles airport waiting for my flight to London…have a terrible internet conection…..So glad I just checked in…SO SO excited for the expanded Forevermore album and Rainbow……Gotto go….night all…..Miss Vicki
I can’t believe David found the time to do all of this for us before he left, He is one amazing guy, we are so lucky to be fans of his, no doubt in my mind that he will return to music when he returns. Just love that picture, hope it is the one that is on the cover of the CD..
Sarahhazel I third the Motion!!!!
confused………..
Good evening everyone! I’m late to the game tonight, but wanted to pop in real quick and share my SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING moment with you all! An expanded edition of Forevermore? Gee, is David really trying to kill us off?
That’s a great pic of him on the cover. I can’t believe I’m going to openly admit this, especially because I like to keep my fandomness towards him chaste and age appropriate, but dang……the guy sure has some sexy lips!
I think David is referring to Orange Rolls…very popular in Utah. There are 2 local bakeries that make them…The Lion House and Naborhood Bakery. They are like a dinner roll, but with orange bits in them and usually a powdered sugar frosting.
Hey all,
Great post today as always. Love the thought of an expanded edition for Forevermore. Just the pick-me-up I needed since I stayed home not feeling too hot today. Praying CDwow will have it for a reasonable price when it comes out.
sarah-David’s mmmm’s, ohhhh’s, ext. are spazzzz worthy!!!
Evening everone. Kalei lovedthe posts and videos. All those goodies for the party and that cake. Oh my. Glad I’m bringing the Tums and water. The ties Kim found are adorable. Not missionary worthy though. Cute very cute. Looking forward to the Forevermore expanded audition. We are so lucky.
Hi ksf- Missed you yesterday.
ATX-
I wonder if David misses all the cereal he eats at home?……
I’m getting hungry just reading about those yummy orange rolls.
oinkiers- They must have Honey Bunches of Oats and Honey Nut Cheerios down there. He even got a bunch of organic cereal from Costco or somewhere. Maybe Lupe shipped him some.
did u guys just see what rosaliah tweeted?
tami lyn- nope
bought a blue wig today at wal-mart to wear for halloween
Cindy–LOL….it’s true…those lips are……exactly what you said….haha!
…..and keep SPAZZZZing away!
Cheryl–thanks for orange rolls info…..I was thinking of making them for the holidays….but have to start practicing now….otherwise, I’ll have to just buy them…if I can find them!
I put a tweet about spazzzing…….sorry we are just not done spazzzzing yet!!
Hi, Charlotte, supergrand, tami lyn!!!
oinkiers–I’m sure he does…..
tami lyn–don’t think I wanna see her tweet…..might ruin the SPAZZZZ mode!
oinkiers–Of course we’re not…..we’ll SPAZZZZZ, well….for the sake of SPAZZZZing….until we get the real THING! Woot!
*I’ll just have to buy them*……LOL….my words are getting jumbled alerady……#tired#
Aaaaahh….that smile!
Arrrrrchuleta∞ @gladyscruz_
Well, I’m sorry my boyfriend is perfect♥ @DavidArchie https://twitter.com/gladyscruz_/status/259460813293756416/photo/1
Hey Sarahhazel
I’d bet that David misses his regular routine, too, no matter how happy he is at the moment. I hadn’t thought of his mom shipping him supplies, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she does on occasion. There are probably a few things such as shampoo and toothpaste where he might not be able to get his usual brand or type down there, so her sending them would make sense and be helpful.
Wish I had more spazzing energy tonight. I know I’ll have plenty when the expanded edition gets here, though
Hi all
Not feeling so well this last few days, but can’t stay too long from FOD haha.
Ha Not a dull monment in Archuland!!isn’t it SPAZZZ SPAZZZ
Aww pocoelsy :hugs: I’ve got some little bug, too. We’ll get better together
pocoelsy- Sorry you’re not feeling well. Yes we are trying to keep SSPPAAZZZZIINNGG down to a minimum. Saving up for the real deal day.
Charlotte–yes, care packages from mom….bet she does that!
Sarahhazel, yup and I’ll bet his face just glows with his smile when he gets one in the mail
We know she’s missing him and I’m sure he misses her(and all the family), too
pocoelsy–oh,no….hope u feel better soon….in time for the real SPAZZZZing moment!
I have nasty allergies and it’s bothering my throat big time….guess my system is not used to the ragweed, pollen and stuff here in the east coast.
Jackryan4DA @jackryan4DA
@IvoryMusicVideo KUDOS for the FEE cover. Love that MNL brings out the heartthrob that @DavidArchie truly is – https://twitter.com/DavidArchie/status/259315758885122049/photo/1/large …
Charlotte- Not you,too. So sorry that you aren’t feeling well. I feel alright but for the last month or so whenever I walk around my nose starts to run and won’t stop. I think I’m allergic to something serius. I can’t move without tissues. A real pain in the neck.
….that’s supposed to be a
and a
pocoelsy- sorry your under the weather, you to Charlotte!
!
David looks stunning in that new cd picture!!! WOW, his eyes & mouth! That’s all I’m gonna say about that without crossing the line! LOL!!

serious * not serius sorry
Charlotte–aw, here’s a real good chicken soup for you….
Awww, SGJ :hugs: I know how you and Sarahhazel feel. My allergies drive me insane. They’re usually at the root of the problem when I get sick. What I’ve got right now is minor and I’m glad it’s not any worse. Hope you guys feel better soon, too.
breanne–it’s OK, you can kinda “cross the line” sometimes….we’ll forgive you….haha!
Aww, thank you, Sarahhazel. Just what the doctor ordered
I think it’s unanimous–peeps love the DDG FEE cover pic! Squeeeeee!!!!
Don’t get me started on the lips
Hi everyone!
Charlotte, SGJ, Sarahhazel,
Aww thank you
it’s just same old allergies (darn it) my head is pounding but nothing serious lol Charlotte we’ll get better together in time to join “Mega Spazz” with our archie friends !!!
Sgj, Allergies is not fun at all
I agree the cover is …… ummm……….
breanne- You’re allowed. Sometimes we get a “little to not over you” We mean no harm and go way over the line. We love him like our dear sons and grandsons.
abms–go ahead and get started…..haha…..we’re always ready here!
Pocoelsy, absolutely, Mega Spazz or bust
Yeah allergies are serious party poopers. If anyone’s looking for a good treatment for them I have decent luck with Zyrtec and Tavist. The latter is just like benadryl so only take it at night if you don’t want to be sleepy.
abms- David started it with all his handsomeness.
Breanne….just go for it! I finally did. Check out my comment at 8:02!
Well I am crashing fast good night friends!! Its been a CRAZY day!!
Awwww you guys suffering from allergies….I’ve got them too. Worst I’ve had in about 10 years. Can’t wait until we have a good frost to kill the ragweed.
Cindy- Missed that.
angelbymyside, by all mean…start on those lips already !!! I’m waiting to hear what you have to say
Oinikiers, thank you <3 yeah under the weather is just about right haha it rains a lot here lately so high humidity (I don't understand how David likes hot and humid weather…he's weird alright lol) The roof leaks !!! so call capenters to come in fixed it, I think they stir some dust , fungus spore, cevit cat fur (raccoon like creature !!)who knows what else haha but have all medications I need just need some good rest..that's all.
The new expand cover is sooo OMJ shouldn't we start anylise it haha?
sgj and sarahhazel ~ it’s all David’s fault haha
Monica @Monica2112
Wow, little brother is having a @DavidArchie marathon.lol Thought him well.lol #DA2014
ABMS, hope you feel better soon, too, and yes do share about the lips
pocoelsy ~ If I start, I might get banned from the site hahaha
Haha Breanne Just do it !!! Ray is not here (I think!!)
abms–frost kills ragweed???…..cool!!!
………..and I agree, it’s all David’s fault our brains are like this! LOL
abms–this is the worse I’ve had since I was born.
Charlotte ~
Goodnight oinkiers. Think I’m going to hit the hay too. This Sunday is our #51st. wedding anniversary.Going to visit my daughter and grandchildren, then going out to dinner. Got to rest up. Goodnight all.
Miss Vicki- If you see this, have a safe, wonderful trip. Hope you remembered David’s address so you can send him a postcard from there.
Can’t stop watching these MB concert vids…..I better stop now!
Or better yet, I’ll rest now…..don’t want to, but I have to…..LOL
So TAKE CARE, HAVE A GOODNIGHT, FOLKS & SWEET F.E.E. & TIECHULETA DREAMS!!!
Goodnight oinkiers and SGJ. Happy anniversary SGJ
Goodnight sarahhazel. Sweet dreams. Goodnight aagain for real.
p.s. Thank you Charlotte.
Charlotte, thanks for the tips
I always wonder why sooo many people has this allergies..you know where did we go wrong…like eating or how we live our lives or both haha never mind!!! let’s talk about David here
THOSE LIPS !!!
Those eyes !!! I seriously never seen the eyes that can “speak” like that those sincere and tenderness look he gives everytime he glance…show through his eyes all the goodness that is David Archuleta!!
Good night Oinikiers, SGJ, Sarahhazel take care
Pocoelsy, you’re welcome and ITA with you on your description of David. I’ve seen pretty eyes before, but never as stunning as his. They simply sparkle no matter what he does and they are always full of warmth and kindness.
And yeah, about the lips. I have never seen such rosy lips like those on a guy. And I know how he feels about chapstick. It’s my constant companion pretty much year round.
Regarding Birthday card that we signed for David, I wonder how do they deliver it !!! like print it out or just send through email…? Anyone ?
Pocoelsy, in the past they’ve printed the card and bound it like a book and got to him through Kari or someone in his circle. This year it’ll be printed and bound and then mailed to Kari for forwarding to Chile. I hope it’ll bring that sweet smile to his face when he reads it
Thank you Charlotte,
Haha I signed every card they put out but never knew how they send !!! WOW !!! that’s a lot of work!!! over 500 fans signed that card …David’s fans are the best
. It sure put a big smile on his face and may be a tear of joy
knowing that we miss him…Oh that boy he really gets under your skin doesn’t he !!!
Pocoelsy, you’re welcome and yeah he does get under your skin. And into your heart
I don’t use chapstick or lipstick since it’s so humid here but yeah you need to use it in the dry weather and to keep those rosy lips moist and plum hehe
Gotta go get things done and have some more rest now, night Charlotte and everyone
Pocoelsy, ITA on the chapstick. For me it’s a little different. I breathe through my mouth unlike most people so my lips are always chapped. Chapstick, Carmex, Burt’s Bees; I use them all.
pocoelsy ~ The group card gets printed out and made into a book and then will be mailed to David
Gonna sign off for the night and go get some rest.
Talk you guys later
Hi guys, it’s so nice to see such excitement around here! Love these surprises, and I hope we get a few more next year. I know what you guys mean about allergies, I’ve had
One more thing, I ordered a Vikings jersey recently and I didn’t realize until I received it that the number on it is 28! I guess being a David fan is meant to be! Good nite all!
sinus issues since I was a teen, they can be pretty nasty. You know when I get those Davidarchie tweets on my phone, I still feel a little flutter in my heart
Fun week of stuff to do starting Monday to pass the David mission time away: Week 28; Oct 22-28: Pumpkin carving or painting week. Carve or paint, or create in another way a pumpkin of David or that’s David related. (like black cats and “hush cats”) then share a picture of it.
Hey everyone!
Today I went bowling with some friends and one of those friends used to work at the bowling place and I told her thank you because she would always put David Archuleta music while everyone bowl well today she asked her husband (who works there) to play Crush (no they dont have BEGIN in their computer)! It totally made my night because everyone who was bowling got to hear David!
is David real or what?when did he had time to do so much for us???
QUESTION: Where can I order the BEGIN cd with the 4 postcards included?
Wow! a cd and DVD for Forevermore expanded edition.
pocoelsy- I hope your feeling well now. I have allergies too, I sneeze a lot in the morning. Last week, I had a flu, due to overwork maybe and my body resistance become weak, that is why I seldom posted FOD last week.
Ksf- just his hand on my back waist when we were talking to each other, he sometimes do it also when taking pictures with girls and fans. Glad that I don’t tickled lol But it’s always a pleasure to be touch by David lol and I survive lol
OMJosh! An expanded version of Forevermore?! When did David have time to do all this? Wonder if he was contemplating leaving when he didn’t renew his contract with Jive and started then to work on goodies for his fans? Also, perhaps his team is coming up with creative ways to keep his name out there while he’s gone and if so – he’s pretty darn lucky to have people like Kari on his team.
I don’t know about you all but no matter how much David gives us or left us with – don’t get me wrong – I DO appreciate everything he’s done – I still miss him. I miss his vlogs, his touring concerts. … because I loved hearing not only his singing voice but his speaking voice. In a way I think we bonded with this guy like we’ve never bonded with another artist – at least that’s true for me. I love his personality, his values…. So it was easy for me to grow to love and care for him. So needless to say I will continue to read and view any pictures from his mission BECAUSE we’re not the fare weather kind of fans (those are gone – hopefully only temporarily) but truly caring fans that love and sincerely want to know how he’s doing. The fact that most of us are not mormons yet we are interested in what he’s doing speaks volumes!
Ah, allergies everywhere – no matter what part of the world! We too are struggling with them but fortunately the Germans have a wonderful soft nasal spray that we use. They frown upon any drugs unless it’s teas, but I don’t care I love my spray. Speaking of this, when we went to London to see David, I put a bottle of the spray in his gift bag because I knew he was battling bad allergies. Wonder if it helped him?

Kimk, I have not gone online for a awhile, looking forward to experiencing some cd promotions excitement. Crossing fingers crossed that there will be one while there.

RE the re-launch – I have a date already but am not at liberty yet to say. But definitely not this month
VABeach – PERIOD! lol
Hi everyone, I am NOT computer wise, I just signed David’s card but I don’t know if it went through, I did not see an enter button. I would do it again but I don’t want it to double post, is there anyway I can find out if it went through? Thank you.
potluck–did you enter your email address?….If so, they will send you a “confirmation”. If not, maybe you can just go back to the card site and find your message.
Potluck8- For some reason it just will not let me sign it at all…… anybody?
oinkiers–hmmm, that’s weird….you mean it won’t even let you write anything?…..maybe the deadline’s past?
Yes it won’t!!
!! I think it is my computer!!
Sarahhazel- I have been trying for a few days!!
oinkiers–I tested it & it let me put a message….so maybe it is your computer.
eeeeerrrrr…………
oinkiers–I actually sent another message and it worked. I guess it’s not deadline yet.
Wish I could help you though…..
Last day here to sign or in Asia?
Gwen Porea @GwenPo

as for when it comes out.. lol well thinking their version of soon might mean next month?
maybe the powers that be will see fit to send us a snippet beforehand?!
JR, thanks! I suggested my husband the hotel where D stayed in… Is it the shangrila? I will email you later.
SNIPPET! SNIPPET! SNIPPET!!!!!!!!!!!!
