Was that a total tearjerker today on her show with the puppy mills?  I just recently found out about puppy mills as I was trying to adopt a cocker spaniel from a rescue that deals with cockers.  I had to fill out a long application.  They checked a lot of references, called my previous vet, previous groomer, etc. Then they had to do a home visit. The lady that did the home visit told me some very sad stories about a puppy mill where they went in at night and tried to rescue some dogs away from the place.  She rescued one that only weighed 5 pounds that they used to breed. How sick are these places.  She said that the Amish- are very well known for this. She told me of a story that a man through a alive dog in a Goodwill bin because he was done with the breeding process and thank God the next day a worker heard the poor thing crying.  I rescued 2 cockers and could not be happier.  I do not know where they came from but they are so loving. I think the government needs to get involved and shut these places down. They are breeding thousands of dogs and meanwhile we are killing hundreds a day all over the US. Does that make any sense? Please no one buy from a PET STORE.  If you want a pet go to PETFINDER.COM and look up the breed, you want and you will see pictures of all kinds in all the US. 

Lisa Ling is reporting on puppy mills.  It looks like it will be a very powerful show.  I know that 'dog people' have been trying for *years* to get Oprah to do a show on this, and I'm so glad she finally is.  I desperately hope it will make a difference.  The dogs in the mills have been suffering far too long.  We need to put an end to puppy mills.  Please, pass the word. 

for this year, and it was a big one.  My son has been wanting a Playstation 3 since they came out, which I think was last year.  They were $500 last year, and luckily he didn't push the issue cause that was out of the ballpark.  Well I saved a little this year so I could buy him this gift for Christmas this year.  He says that is what he wants.  They are now $400 this year.  I saved and saved and I had the money put back to get it.  So I gave my mom the money yesterday, and when she went to Walmart this morning, she bought it.  I am so relieved because this is a major portion of Christmas bought.  I only have the one son.  No more children.  I am so glad I was able to get this for him this year and so glad I already have it bought and put away for Christmas. 

Has anyone else started on their Christmas yet? 

I love that show.  I think it is a great reality show that helps others.  If you saw it last week do you think Oprah will help the family that was promised money for funeral costs and the guy did not come through for the family.  I think so. 

Any experiences with this.  I am having a great time.

Did you order the 'The Secret' DVD?  I've been thinking about ordering it.  What have you been doing that's fun?  Care to share?   

It's an interesting CD and I really like the theory behind it, which has been around forever if you think about it. What I didn't like was all the emphasis on material things, wealth, money, etc.  To me it seemed that was the focus of the CD whereas on the show the panel focused on many other types of issues besides just getting wealthy.

Of course she has flaws and maybe some annoying personality traits, but it's all about intention imo, and I believe she is intending to change this world for the better, and she is succeeding!  Everyone has a right to their opinion, but before throwing stones at such a great humanitarian, why not take a look at yourself and ask what you've done to better the world lately.  I'm sure Oprah could name a few things off the top of her head!

She has stated numerous times that she has no interest in running for any type of political office, so don't worry your pretty little heads about it!  If she ever ran I think she would have a good shot just because she lives her life pretty openly and doesn't seem to have anything to hide (she might even give too much personal info on her show!), and she seems to have a good heart and really wants to help those less fortunate.  So many politicians scare me because they seem corrupt, and many are into shady business dealings.  Many seem to be in it just for the money, which she already has plenty of! -end pro-Oprah rant  (kam)

She is doing a show about divorce and how it affects children.  I think she'll have experts/psychologists on to talk about ways of explaining divorce to children to make it as least traumatic as possible.  Oprah always seems to get the best experts on her show, and usually they have written books that you could read too.  I think how you talk to your kids about the divorce has a huge impact, and some parents get so wrapped up in their own pain that they fail to really help the kids with their heartbreak, so I think it's great you are thinking about your son first thing.  So many times the kids think it is their fault for some reason.

My personal opinion is that sometimes it is better to get divorced if you are miserable, because just as we want our kids to be happy, they want us to be happy too.  But, I think you have to try with everything you have inside of you first to make the marriage work, so then you can leave knowing you did everything you could to try to save the relationship (unless it is abusive in any way).  I would highly recommend watching Oprah on Wednesday though.  It looks like it's going to be a very moving, informative hour.

you think she would have built the school for girls somewhere NEAR DARFUR where they are beyond poor.  The people in S. Africa have lots and lots of $$ and as a matter of fact, I read about Oprah's school there, that the kids there had their CELL phones taken away and that the rule is the parents cannot visit unless they get written permission from her school.  KIDS WHO HAVE CELLPHONES go to her school....HOW POOR ARE THESE CHILDREN, really....

get real please...........

It never occurred to her that they couldn't afford to pay the income tax on them.
