    Notice I said work hard and make smart decisions - not sit around with your hand out, waiting for someone else to give you something for nothing.

    Good article. It just goes to show you that if you work hard and make smart decisions, anything is possible.

    @Loriw...Poor baby- I really don't think Oprah, or anyone else for that matter, cares that you no longer tune in. You can always tune into The View to fawn over Hasselback!

    To beevis or butthead, a/ka washassomething: Like, wow, you know dude, like you know dudette, like you know, like, you know. The only thing you know is what others tell you to know. You are very sad. I realize that you are probably only 17 years old. Just a word to the wise - think for yourself.!

    Palin? Role model? Let's see: she couldn't name a single book, newspaper, or magazine that she'd read when queried by Katie Couric. She thinks people and dinsaurs lived together, ala the Flintstones. She thinks it's peachy to kill wolves from planes. And she's a member of the Torture Party and the Party that Bankrupted America.
