My Thought...And I Do Have One

SIZES MATTER

If you can twirl your arms around comfortably, then you know that your shirt fits. If the shirt rips down the back, then you know you need a bigger size, either that or you’re The Hulk. Sometimes, I’ll buy a shirt or pants that are too small because I love them so much. I think, I don’t need to button them. I’ll get a rubber band to hold them up. I’ll wear a long shirt or big underwear the same color so nobody will know. Or, I’ll buy them and think, “Well if I lose 2lbs, they’ll fit.” It’s like an incentive to lose a few pounds. You justify buying them. Then they sit in the closet forever and mock you, “Hey fatty, fatty, two by four! At least take the tags off!”

Clothing companies should sew in tags with sizes that are smaller than the clothes actually are. So when you try on pants that are a 6, the tags would say 4. Everybody would suddenly feel great about themselves. “Look, I fit into a 4 now!” It wouldn’t matter if your beer belly was stretching over your waistline, We would believe the tag before believing our own eyes. Of course, it’s the opposite if you try on pants that are supposed to be your size and they’re too small. Then you never believe the tag. You think somebody messed up at the pants factory. I guess my point is, whatever your size is, if the pants fit …wear them.

Hi Ellen,
I want to thank you for speaking out about the murder of the 15 year old boy. I admire your strength and courage in bringing this type of story to the forefront of your show. As gay people, we need to be doing more and more of this type of thing every day in our own lives, telling our stories and letting others know that yes, it's OK to be gay. Love YA!

Ellen,

You are the funniest person ever and look forward to watching your show everyday and I cant always watch when you are on so you are set on my DVR to record everyday and I watch you as soon as I can. Thank you for being you and for doing what you do every day, someday I hope to actually be in your audience, that would be amazing. Oh by the way I love to watch you dance, you go girl!!!! You are the best and such an awesome person for what you do for everyone around the world. Love Ya!!!!!

hi ellen, i just wanted to say that i agree completely with the fact that there is sooo much unnessesary hatred. how can one person know how everyone feels?? it's impossible. i think because i am gay, my eyes have been opened to so many lifestyles, and i am able to put myself in anyone's shoes. and because i get some sort of harrassment on a daily basis, it makes me a stronger person, and it makes me appreciate all that i have, and who i am. and if someone were to jump me in a parking lot somewhere and take my life, then so be it. i am me, and i feel that the gay community is outnumbered by straight-minded individuals who could never understand that we would not "choose" to be harrassed. this is the one subject that hits home with me, i could go on forever, but i won't........ i love you ellen, you inspire us all!!!! love from VA- jessi

Ellen,

I just wanted to say thank you, not only for being such a great comedian, although i enjoy your humor thoroughly, but also thank you for being so proud of who you are, it makes it easy for the rest of us to be when we have inspiration like you, someone to look up to.
I have always wanted to be a comedian, but for fear of not being able to say what was really on my mind i was scared. then i got to thinking about it, i was like if ellen can do it, anyone can. I am just as proud of who i am as you are. so i did it, and i loved it.
On a different note, about the tragic death. I think you are absolutely right, i believe people should understand and come to the realisation that being gay, is not an awful thing, there is nothing wrong with it at all, but people are taught at a young age that it is not right, that it is something to mock, when it is in fact not. i think that there is not much we can do about it though, other than prove to people that we are not bad, just because we are gay. and stand up for what we believe in, but we have to believe in ourselves before people can believe in us. so we would have to stand united, as one body. I hope i live to see that day.
Thank you again ellen...

I have to thank you for sharing that information about Larry Kings tragic death, since I am attending that school it was and is very hard for me. But it makes me feel better knowing that there is you who announced of Larry not because it was news but because you were affected by this as well as everybody else. thank you

Lots of luv,

Hi Ellen!

Regarding the senseless murder of Lawrence King,,,I truly believe that parents & grandparents need to talk more with our young people about such things. We are failing our young people by not putting more time & effort into simply talking to them!

I wrote to you awhile back & shared with you about my grandson telling me that he had heard that you were gay in hopes that I'd let him watch something else on TV. I told him that, yes, you were probably the happiest person I know & that you make me feel so "gay" that I just had to get up & dance with you. He hasn't missed a show since we had our little TALK.

And he & his friends used to always use the saying, "That's so gay". I haven't heard him say that since then either but I have heard him correct his friends when they say it.

Communication is the key to everything & I'm so glad that you are so good at it because people listen to you. They respect you.

Thank you so much, Ellen for always having the guts to tackle these important issues!

I love you so much!

God bless!
Mama Suzzie

Ellen, thanks so much for your show. I can't not watch! I am not only a huge fan of yours, but I have recently become a huge fan of King's. Please show us more of him! LOVE.

Hi Ellen! My name is Grace and I watch your show everyday, I am a HUGE fan! I was watching your segment on your I DON'T NEED AN EMMY song. I thought a great version of the song would be a church choir version. I thought you would have fun making that remix!!!

Have FUN,
Grace

DEAR ELLEN, 1ST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT LIKE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, I LOVE YOU AND YOUR SHOW,(ALONG WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER DONE). But I am actually writing you to maybe give a little support to SHERRY FRANKS, who wrote you a couple days ago. 29 yrs of marriage is a long time to pick up and start over, take it from someone who knows. I am a single mother of 2 wonderful boys, (Chris 16 & Phoenix 12), and I have had to pick up a couple times. The hardest thing 4 me was to tell my oldest at 10 that his father killed himself,everything else was easy, even financially. With good friends, and a positive attitude, there is nothing you can't overcome. PEOPLE COME IN AND OUT OF OUR LIVES FOR A REASON, A SEASON OR A LIFETIME, JUST LIKE WE LEARN FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES, WE ALSO LEARN FROM FROM THE PEOPLE WHO PASS THRU. THE WONDERFUL PART ABOUT IT IS TO TAKE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU LEARN, AND USE IT, NOT TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN!! HANG IN THERE SWEETIE, IT WILL GET BETTER... JUST HAVE FAITH!!!! ELLEN THANK YOU, FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, I TRY TO HELP PEOPLE EVERY DAY IN MY LIFE, IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. GOD BLESS :-)

Sincerely, dawn

Just finished watching yet another awesome Ellen show. Wanted you to know that you are the bright spot in an otherwise typical day. I find myself smiling from the first minute you are on and well after the show is over. Even shows that are repeats (as today was) can be watched over and over. I hope so very much to be able to catch your show live some day.

sincerely, Chris in Florida

All I'm saying is that "Canuck's' (Canadian's) shouldn't be disconnected from "the Film Industry" with-in the U.S.of A" connections, and that people here in Canada are literally and pysically suffering because of the 'film situation ordeal because of 'the' knew validations there of.

For many a year, there have been starving worker's in the 'film industry' and out of a job here in Canada all due to the "lift of a new sight" (politically speaking) and that Canadian Assistant Director's etc., have been the afflicted "bum's out" from this knew 'so called validation.

So wouldn't you say that the industry of "FILM MAKING'S, and such, should validate 'this' issue of such miss-understandings' and revive it's color's once again?

Your show deals with compassion Ellen; but doesn't the worker, in other Countries, (K'nuks')..hee-hee, who wishes alot of wishes to be given, and whom is now out of work because of political 'States' issues, and is so much being deprived of sanity to do what is right for this world as well.?

We ALL want and wish for what is right for our world. Let the beholder of a figure in power shed his/her light to others' (that want to make this life of our world a peaceful nation) and at the same time, disclose it's circumferance among us as a mench here in Canada, and to behold whom we want to be, whom only want to be... in this sooo much more of a planet.

The Canadian...eh.

To ALL loving menches',...may you give peace, love and devotion.

To see Ellen in 'wide open pre-sentation on television' of "comedy, love and certainly devotion", is a bless-ed speech of much-ness to behold.

The 'arg' and a 'let go' of many an issue, and not to mention the 'tallent' that is a view,...is a love of open-ness.

It's show of tears can be like a shed of 'realization', of a quality any mench is about.....and it's truthfulness that becomes of a mench there of,..... because of it.

You are an openess of many a people, dear Ellen,....and I thank you for it.

God-Bless,

The 'Canuck' from Canada, has spoken.

My appoligies, if my other e-mail did not make it through to you.
...'t'was in a mode when 'I' (mother) sent to you an e-mail concerning my daughter in Canada. (dinkster@rogers.com)...hope you got it 'cause it was 'my heart put REALLY OUT THERE'!
My note to you is as follow's.....

Canada, has been of many a "Director's" place to be when making a movie, years ago. It was when the U.S. dollar was high on the market value, but is now another story.
It was where the "United States",..of 'Directers and Producer's' went to when making a movie "of cheaper cost wise with ALL the scenery around", and facilities to make that cost of a movie as cheap as one can make.
Since "Arnold Schwarzenegger" became Senate, and whom my husband and children have loved through ALL of his movies, have now been afflicted of, "what one would say is a, "not any longer of making movies in Canada".
I'm sure you must of "heard it through the grape vine", that THIS ISSUE was high on the priority list of what one "does not want to do" in Canada any more, as far as directing and such, and that peoples' of your' nation are in some way excluding the "A.D's" (assisitant director's,..first, second and third), of any knew coming event's here in Canada.

I am of just a loving MOM, who's daughter has done every thing in her possable career life to be in the film industry, and that all of a sudden the Canadian's are suffering for "NO MORE JOB'S due to political on dealing's.
I know that you'r a proud Nation, but so are WE.
I see all sort's of Korean, Louisianna, Japanese, Asian, etc., issues going on-on you'r talk show, but not a hell of alot of Canada has been seen as far as the 'suffering' in the "ART'S" Industry.

We may not be starving and such like other third world countries, ....we may not be a loss of many homes,like you have shown on the 'Ellen Show', but we are very much of ALL that has been pre-sented! There are people that live on the street's.....there are people whom suffer through lack of,...hell.....we even have animal's and children that need a home and are lack of.

The "Film industry has soooo slacked off since Arnold came into play.

I'm a MOM, who's lived many year's of my daughter's suffering to get a job here in Toronto, since the 'new movement of Arnold' and has been, through the most HELLISH LIFE because of. What's been going on there in that neck of the woods of yours' (U.S. Congress) shed's on a connection to many a people' here, in the "EH" land of Canuck's.

I'm a Mother who happens to live in Canada, and suffers much of ALL the neck of the wood's as far as rubbing 2 cent's together while helping out a family and or animal's in need. My daughter, whom happen's to be struggling in the "film industry" is an 'angel in need'. Yes, I said 'Angel'.
She's been struggling through her life of, "talking care of children in need, while the parent CAN'T",..(children's aid society, is what I'm talkin about), and is the most humanitarian and full of life/love, that I can't even begin to tell you about.

My love for peoples' ALL across our God Loving Universe suffer's just like you, and "I feel MUCH", beleive you me.!

I LOVE everything that YOU do ELLEN and what you have to offer for view'ers all across this Globe of our's. You are an inspiration to many a challenge and you give your heart sooo loving.

Your love has inspired even us Kanack's ...hee hee.

I hope you can shed some light to this connection of my termoil, and send me some "job offering's to my daughter's dilema in this industry that she is dealing with right now. May it be some 'connection's that you know of perhaps, would be a God -Blessing, as far as her film industry and love of it.

My letter I had sent out to you in the past was regarding 'my daughter'......I'm sooo in love with her, and MY pain is HER pain.
...did you happen to read that e-mail I sent off to you regarding her?

Any way, hope that all is well with you.
Your a beautiful mench, and may peace and love be with you.
My reaching out to YOU is just what I want to come together as far as 'suffering no more'....for HER as well as the 'circle' that one is ALL a circumfrence to.

Devotion to laughter and Love,

Rita Floto x0x0

Hey Ellen
I saw your show where you spoke about Larry King and it really got me thinking how lucky I am to live in a country where our news groups struggle to fill a half hour slot in the evening with tragic stories. I live in Australia and 90% of the stories on our news regarding school shotings or people going on gun rampages are from other countries. I'm not saying we're perfect here downunder we have had tragic events like that happen here but no where on the scale that it happens else where.

The reason for this is not because we are better people with better values but I believe it is because of our gun laws. It is extremely difficult for anyone under the age of 18 to obtain a gun if fact it requires a lot of effort for an adult to get a gun. Having a gun in the family home for protection is just something that doesn't happen very often here.

I know most of the school shootings that happen are planned out and if someone wanted to really get a gun they could even here in Australia, but the chances of going home in a fit of anger, grabbing a gun and then returning to school or anywhere else to shot the person/people who are causing you grief are very slim here as it's not easy to get a gun.

You can't ignore the reasons behind these tragic events and I'm not stupid enough to believe that you wouldn't do something else just as stupid if you can't get you hands on a gun, but there are very few other things that can cause as much damage as quickly as a gun can. I know gun laws are a touchy subject in the USA but look at what is happening. A child should not be able to shot another child!
