Geraldo

Dianne,

I just had to come over before I leave on my cruise to Costa Rica and let you know how great you looked on TV 2nite. You go girl!
Sooooooo proud of you. I even did a little dance while I was watching you. I normally watch my Bernie Mac. I sent you a personal e-mail as well. I missed your beautiful red hair!!!
Will catch you after the holidays in Jan.
WE Boomers are doing our thang! Congrats to you to Robin. Glad we stay in touch! Send me your home address and I will send you a postcard!
Hi Songbird Take care, everyone.

Why can't I get this show? What exactly is the name of this show? HELP! I want to see Dianne too.

I can't get it either. Not all Fox stations carry his show. Thanks Cagedbird for the very kind words. They mean a lot.

I've been asked about Geraldo. He was very nice and polite and thanked me for being on his show. His producer is just a doll. So sweet and upbeat.

Will somebody please tell me I did a good job and not comment on my looks! It's so hard to talk to a camera and pretend it's a real person.

Dianne, that's exactly what I came on here to do - tell you what a great job you did!! You were articulate and poised and didn't look a bit nervous.
I wish they would have given you more time but you said what needed to be said.
I'm going to order your book as soon as I'm done ordering Lynnie's, since I told her weeks ago that I would and haven't gotten to it yet!!
Peace and blessings to you!

Thank you!!!!!

I have no doubth that you did a good job. I saw you on Montel. I have searched for the show and can't find it. Still checking
chick

Have a great time Caged!!!!!!
Congratulations Dianne!!!!!
I wish I knew you were going to be on I would have watched but I'm sure you looked gorgeous!!!!

I don't seem to get Geraldo for some reason, but I'm sure you were wonderful Dianne.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks ladies. Deeply appreciate the kind words and all of the support.

I called my sister and she looked it up for me. She said it is on at 11:00 on channel 5? That may help you Nancy because you are right around the corner. But I don't get it. It's not Fox. I'm still going to see if it's on at 11:00. Gosh, I hope so!

Do you realize I have taken two threads hostage with this Geraldo thing? Gads. Sorry.

Dianne,

Too funny!

D.

Did anyone tape it? Perhaps we can send the tape around? If someone sends it to me I'll send it to the next person on the list and so on. Or does someone have the tape of Montel? Dianne, do you have the tape of Montel? I want to see your gorgeous face! Just kidding! I want to hear you in action! I want to see you at work! I want to jump up and down and clap my hands and say bravo to that brave courageous ground breaking woman! So who has a tape?

Dianne, you did great!

I have it on dvd + rw format. I don't think I have the equipment to edit or copy it.

Dianne, did Geraldo ever send you a copy? If not, I can send mine to you and you can send it around. Otherwise, I can send it to Lynnie and she'll start the chain.

I'm overwhelmed with the interest and support here.

I do have a tape of Montel and will have a copy made so we can pass it on. Somewhere, I also have an hour show Primary Focus did on me. Have to find it tho.

I'll wait a bit to see if Annie sends me a copy of Geraldo.

Thanks Meredith.

Yes! Oh somebody send me something! PM me so I can give you my address! Please! Yeah hooray! Yippie Skippie! I get to see Dianne in action! I can't believe that I read her book about 5 years ago, when I first started mine, it was recommended to me! And now I "know" her! Can you believe that Dianne? Of all the memoirs this professor could have recommended to me, she pulled yours off her shelf. And it was signed, too! (We talked about this, you said you didn't remember her. It must have been some presentation.)

Lynnie, send me your address and I'll mail it out next week. If Dianne doesn't get a copy from Geraldo, you can send the dvd to her next.

You gals are so great.

I believe there are people we were meant to connect with in this beautiful Universe and for myself, that would be all of you beautiful women.

Amen to that!

I want to be on the list too. When it's my turn, PM and I will send address.

Sherri

Here's the deal. Meredith is sending me a tape. When I am done with it, I will make an announcement here. I will pass it on to the next sister. And then she will send it to the next. We will learn a lot from our Miss Dianne, and we will all get to "meet" her.

Shameless plug on the heels of Dianne: Hey Miss Dianne: If you ever talk to the producer Annie of Gerald's show, and you happen to mention that you know of an author who is good to interview on the topic of sexual assault, I'd be willing to oblige! (And I used to be sooooo shy!)

just a note about the dvd: I popped it in my machine about 15 minutes before the show started, so I wouldn't forget to tape it. Dianne is maybe the 3rd story on Geraldo, so you have to fast-forward ~30 minutes to see her. Sorry but I really don't know how to edit it.

Sometimes I do get calls from producers of shows I've done, asking me if I know anyone who...

I love to give out names!

I've got to find my tapes so I can make copies for you gals. The Primary Focus Show did such a great job!

Yes, Dianne, do drop my name. I've been doing Toastmasters so I'm not so shy anymore. This is my work, and I want to break the silence. Meredith, that's okay, you don't have to worry about editing. I never heard of Primary Focus. Dianne, I am so proud of you! You work so hard, yet you let us know that you are really real! We love you, girlfriend!

I'm new and don't know what your book is about or what it's called. Saundra

Saundra, Diannes book is called "Whose Face Is In The Mirror" its a wonderful book. It is about one womans suffering through domestic violence and how she overcame it and now is an inspiration to others...A riveting read.

Thank you. How does everyone get anything else done? I've already spent more time here than I thought I would? Saundra

I'm making my list of "names to give out." I have a good friend who has a great radio program in Ohio and I'm going to give him all of your names!

Oh, Saundra, it is so tempting to be here morning, noon, and night. In January, I am going to have to limit my time. I once made an announcement on the site that I would not be around much because I HAD to work on my breast cancer memoir. I said my sad good byes. I promised to stop by once in a while. That lasted 2 days. I could not stay away. My memoir has not seen the light of day since August, when I went to a writer's camp. So, in January, I'm going to make my new year's resolution and once again start all over with a schedule. This time, I am not going to say goodbye to my BWS because these women have become my sisters that I never had in real time. I'm just going to set a schedule. I learn so much from my BWSisters. Welcome to the group.

His name is Louie Free. He likes controversy but also likes shows that help his listening audience. He's a wild looking thing with a heart of gold. I did his show every time a dv incident made the news. I'll copy and paste your message in an email to him.

This place is mostly all good but there is a curse of sorts its called: BOOMER MANIA once you get in, you can't get out...LOL

That reminds me of that old commercial for the roach motel...roaches check in but they can't check out!

Oh yea Bluebird maybe thats where the idea came from, deep in my subconscious. I remember seeing that old popular commercial.

We're not like roaches though... maybe we're like moths and this place is the flame!!
