cathy Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I am not sure if anyone is familiar with the Ellen Degeneres show.. I started watching it after I lost my dad because she made me laugh.. I would turn it on every morning because I knew for a short while I could feel normal.. I even got my mom to start watching her.... Last week, what started out as somewhat of joke, the DJ (Tony) put out a tip jar next to him, one thing lead to another and they decided to donate the money to a charity... I decided to email the show and to explain our group to them, and invite them to visit our site.. The tip jar as of today has 600.00 in it... I think they are going to wait a while before donating it... They mention the jar everyday, but thats it, no mention as to who will receive it.... I thought I would call in the troops, maybe if we all write in to the show we could get a little recognition, and the money could sure help LCSC.... To me Ellen seems like a woman with a big heart, who knows maybe we can tug at it a little.....could you imagine over 800 emails... I went to her website, then clicked on the link "whats on your mind" and told her where I thought Tony's tips should go...My husband always tells me, it doesnt hurt to ask, so maybe if we all start asking, you never know.. Tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carleen Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Boy, I hope Ellen likes to read, because I think I just posted the longest comment ever. Once I opened the flood gates it all came rushing out. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karen C Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Me, too! I also wished her a happy birthday! I love that woman, she is so funny. One time I saw her mother on some interview and she seemed like the sweetest little old lady in the whole world - made me love Ellen all the more! Karen C.

luvmydog2 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Just sent mine off. Did anyone happen to see her show last week where she auctioned off a set of her bed linen on E-Bay. Last I saw she said the bid was at 60,000.Sure would be nice if someone would do that for us. I think she said money went to help PETS. Just a thought. I added that to my mail to her.

Connie B Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I watch her show too. She is one nice lady! She's had her share of ups and downs, and I'll bet she can relate to what we go through living with a STIGMA. I just sent my letter off to her too! GOOD IDEA CATH! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THE PRICE OF THOSE SHEETS!! She started that as a joke! Wish someone would joke with lung cancer like that! Hope we hear back from her.

daggiesmom Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hi all. I sent an e-mail to Ellen this a.m. inviting her to visit our website and telling her that her backing us would be a great boost. Also, mentioned the TIP $. Hope she responds!

Guest Karen C. Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Rick, it's hard to find, but click on "fun stuff" at the top and then there's something that says 'whats on your mind" , and you fill in a form with your name and email address and then write them - that's where I did it, anyway.
