It is official-I lost my virginity today. For those of you who know I gave BIRTH to a baby awhile back, don't look to shocked. Today, for the first time, I listened to a Dr. Laura program. It wasn't my fault! The lady who cuts my hair had it on. But it never hurts to JUST listen so I sat there looking thoughtful. If you like Dr. Laura, don't bother reading anymore. It will just hurt. If you think her conservative slant offended me, guess again. I had a hard time focusing on what Dr. Laura was SAYING because I couldn't get over how RUDE she was! She interrupts people, tells them they are wrong, and ignores them . One lady called in about a problem her fiancee was having and Dr. Laura responded with "don't marry a man without a backbone". We never heard the problem. And every caller started with how much they loved Dr. Laura. I felt like telling them that that was their first problem. The one guy she liked was the twit who wrote in saying he kept the weight off by parking in the back, taking stairs, and using his own personal gym equipment. If that is all it took for the rest of us, we would all look like Shania Twain.
I know I sound like a prude, but manners count with me. Please, thank-you, I'm sorry, and excuse me go along way with me. We all have those not so fresh days when we seem to say the wrong thing or interrupt on accident. But if the people who were the reason I had my job were calling me, I would be a little bit more grateful and a lot less like a bitch and harpie. I am now convinced her blond hair is a dye job-she just sounded trashy.
(Disclaimer-not all of us who dye our hair blonde are trashy. Just the harpie's.)

Shania Twain is so 90s! You are dating yourself.
In addition to being rude, Dr. Laura is extremely anti-gay. And anyone who harbors the belief that I should be viewed as and treated like a second-class citizen is an asshole, in my humble opinion!
I can't stand the way Dr. Laura talks...it is suppose to be some kind of "family friendly" radio show, but she is so offensive, and yes, completely rude. She doesn't account for feelings or different situations...what an old hag.
I can't stand listening to her either. Her VOICE just grates!!!!! HOWEEVER, I HAVE read her and like her advice in that format... she actually comes across nice and most of it is good solid info with occasional bs thrown in occasionally. HOEVER I agree with Jill, she is also a BIG "You must stay at home and raise your child, even if you live on foodstamps and your hubby has to work THREE jobs... he likes that,it is his job" type, which idealy sure but complete bullshit to say to someone who wants to but can't. She is also anti leave your bad marriage, you must indure. While I agree too many throw in the towel to early but if my husband dips his wick somewhere else- I WILL walk and he KNOWS it, I would expect the same of me. Everytime she says "stay" after some adulturous affair, using the bible as reference, I want to scream READ FIRST CORINTIANS BITCH! LOL Jill you will like to know that my tiny little town had TWO great "get off your bible thumping asses" editorials this week in the paper, one was the funniest "fuck you homophobes" I had ever read in my life, something about "meetings" and special bennies and such he was really bummed out he could not enjoy being straight and all! LOL
I have listened to Dr. Laura repeatedly due to my "roommate's" fettish with talk shows, but it has been 3 years now. I have to agree with the general consesus! She is a hypocritical person who never lets the caller get the full story out. However, on rare occasion I have even agreed with her advice. Dad made a point one day, it is a talk show, the people calling in probably need a harsh tone or else they would not be in those predicaments in the first place and there is only so much time. Or something to that effect. However, her intolerance of others is not appropriate as a public figure. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there is always more than one way to present it and yourself with out coming out like a hag!
