For Those Who Like Dr. Phil

DD got us ticket to go to the March 19th taping. I don't know when it will air, but I'll give you an update when I know. Also, the Craig Ferguson (sp) show we'll be going to too. She's still seeing what other shows she can get us into. I'd like to get into the Ellen show. She's funny and I like her. The audience gets things sometimes too.

We leave for California on the 18th.

I hate flying. If it was a straight shot from Omaha to LA it would be a lot better. But no, we have a change over in Dallas/Ft. Worth. :( Both going and coming. The only good thing is we can arrive and depart in Burbank, and not have to go LAX.

I know someone on here is a flight attendant. Our flight is with AA. Any chance you'll be there?

Leslie, how much time do you have at DFW either coming or going? It would be neat to meet a former swap partner.

Salvia on Dr. Phil
Q
Comments (11)
I didn't hear about this until last year. Granted, I'm only just out of college, and since high school there's always gossip about what will get you a cheap high, and the item changes weekly it seems. Never being one to touch any of that crap, it was quite hilarious to step back and think "Wow ... that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard". When I first heard about divinorum, I thought BS at first. I took notice when the local paper put out an article (and of course, being the conservative community we are, "Thousands of kids are addicted in our high schools! Legal high runs rampant through high schools!" etc. Panic in the streets. Only AFTER the article came out, did I see no more than 6 kids come into the nursery, asking if we sold Salvia. I pointed out the salvias (some in the herb section, some splendens, guaranitica, and coccinea in the Annuals) for them. They asked me with interest 'How do you use the herbal ones?' and I responded with 'adding flavor to bland cooking, drying and hanging to look like a fancy herb grower. And they smell good *scratches leaf* Mmmm ... pineapple'. They left dissapointed, and after 3 weeks never heard about it again. Except once from some concerned mothers, who I basically told we didn't have the drugs they were looking for.

Oct Mom has met her match-Dr Phil today!

I don't know if I am about to reveal the outcome of the show to anyone who didn't see it in it's entirety,but I guess it really doesn't matter since everyone seems pretty disinterested anyway. I watched the whole show and I have a whole new perspective on this woman now.I originally felt like everyone else,that she was selfish,in it for the money,etc.I think Dr.Phil did make an impression on her and made her think a little farther into the future than what she has been.He concluded that she lives in a fantasy world,has little concept of the real world and is immature in her thinking and problem solving skills.Because I have some family members who have the same problem,I can fully understand it.It's not their fault and nothing anyone can do can change it.Their minds just don't work in the same way that some other people's minds work! She did finally admit to Dr. Phil that she made a mistake by becoming pregnant again and by having all 6 embryos implanted.I do understand her thinking about implanting all 6.she thought it would result in only one or maybe two and she didn't want to "kill" (which in her eyes is what it would have been) the other embryos.Yes,she could have kept the other embryos frozen indefinitely,but in her mind she was "done having babies" and using all the embryos made it "final".At the end of the show Dr. Phil said that she called him after she came home from the hospital that evening and told him that she had realized that the nurses had been taking care of her babies and that she hadn't really thought ahead to what it would actually be like when she got them all home.She said also that she realized that she hadn't cried in months,and that she had been crying since she got home.She also sent him a multiple page list of things that had to be in place before the hospital would allow her to bring those babies home and she was very concerned about that.Regardless of what we think about this woman,those babies are here and she will need help to care for them and her other children.As the old saying goes,lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater (no pun intended). Also remember that there are people out there who will try to profit from all of this.I don't put much stock in "they say". JMHO

Sounds like a very motivating show! They must have a BIG kitchen. I imagine I'd feel like Ms. Clean after watching that!

Dr Phil 'Family'

Dottie, yes I must admit that I have been watching the "saga" of the "nutty family". But these latest episodes have really got my dander up!! I think this girl (not a mature woman) doesn't deserve to have any of her kids until she starts putting them FIRST, instead of the men (I should say boys) in her life. I couldn't believe that she would not say "Tony will move out until the court case is done." She still doesn't get that those innocent children that she bore should always come first. And she is making Dr. Phil look like a buffoon for trying to help her. I am tired of shouting at my TV when they're on...so I guess I should just watch "Ellen" or continue to create in my quilt room! LOL Susan

I hope you get to be on all of the shows you mentioned. Just let us know when you'll be 'on air'.... Oh, and give us that don't know you a picture online so we'll know who you are if they show you in the audience.

Wow.......That's cool!
When you go to the Dr Phil show, dress warm. It is freezing in there. My cousin Pams daughter was a producer on the show and she said they keep the studio very very cold because of all the lights on the stage.
When my friend went to a taping she was so miserable because she just didn't think it would be that cold.

This ole granny won't be breaking anything down Stacy. LOL I'm to broke down myself.
Jenni, I've been to Dr. Phil once before, and I remember how dang cold it was in there. We'll be taking or wearing jackets. Mine will probably be black with a hot pink shell under it.
Karen, going out we have an hour layover, and coming back it's 1 1/2 hrs. Not really long enough for meeting up, do you think? If you think it's possible, we'll try.

I'd feel a lot more at ease flying if she was on my flight. Dang it. But my DGD and my DD's mother in law are flying to London the Wednesday after Easter. Maybe Donna will be on their flight. Wouldn't that be a hoot. I think they usually fly British Airways though. Not positive on that.

Ditto to Stacy's message. I have a feeling you could pull out a few dance moves and capture Ellen's attention. She is funny when she calls out random audience members on their dancing. I hope you get tickets.

An hour and a half in Dallas is sometimes "just enough" to make your connection. :-)

Hope you have a great trip. Let me know when it's on, and I will watch that day!

I know Rita, but we don't have to change airlines, so we should be okay. Maybe a different gate, but not terminals.

I'm jealous! I've always wanted to be in the audience for a TV show. I don't even care who it is! But Ellen would be fun! I hope Dr Phil has an interesting topic that day.

I don't mind flying, but the connections are annoying since they waste so much time!!

Have fun!

ladonna, we like going to Granbury. We'll probably go down for the General's birthday festivities either Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

Leslie--I too am a Frightened Flyer and I have discovered Prince Vallium, as my friend calls it. I'm not much of a drinker and also feel that I need all my senses to fly that plane, should anything happen to the pilots; I think you have to have the fear that I do to understand that nonsense and the irrationality of that kind of fear. When we went to visit family in India ten years ago I never slept for the entire (10+11) 21-hour trip. That was before my Vallium Discovery. The pill does not make me goofy or happy or feel drunk, it just takes the edge off my anxiety. I take one, and that does the trick, for the most part. But I would say it's best to have something in your stomach as it can make you sleepy if you don't. I also find it helpful to sit as close to the flight attendants as I can so I can watch their faces. I feel much better when they're just chatting with each other or reading their books on the take-off. Get this: I had a return trip scheduled this week on Southwest during the time after the announcement of the lapse of maintenance and the time that they took the planes out of the air. I would have to say that the Vallium made it possible for me to get on and fly. I do what works for me! I hope you have a lovely time on your trip.

sjerin, I do have Lorezapam, which is like Ativan. It's the only way I can calm down enough to walk on that plane.
But I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.
