And thank you for your wise words.

HELLO ELLEN,

NEVER IN THE WORLD WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT I WOULD BE SAYING THIS.

I USED TO HATE (AND I MEAN HATE) GAYS AND LESBIANS, BUT BECAUSE OF YOU I HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW AND ATTITUDE.

I RESPECT YOU AS A PERSON AND FOR WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE.

YOU ARE A GIFTED PERSON, A GIVING PERSON (ALWAYS HELPING THOSE IN NEED) AND A PERSON WHOM I ADMIRE.

I SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR CHANGING MY IDIOTIC

"They say I have A.D.D., they just don't understand...oh look a squirrel!"

Brilliant mind discuss events; average mind discuss ideas; poor mind discuss PEOPLE (this is not my own idea, i just wanna share it to everybody. Thanks!

You can judge me all you want, but keep your verdict to yourself !!!

ellen,
I have three words I use to speak to my boss. These are the only words we use daily. Its really funny because she wants everything done by 5:00 PM. Most of the time she wont give me the work until 3:00 or 4:00 PM that day. The words are to make you smile!

Geterdone
Goterdone
and
It's five o'clock somewhere

I would like to put geterdone on the front of a T-Shirt, and Goterdone on the back, so I could face one direction and not have to say anything to her! hahahahaha

I say everyday "It's five O'clock somewhere" hehehehe

Thought you might like this for a work environment. Maybe you can tell I work in downtown Houston, TX.

Love your show!
Nancy

First I dig you! You are a cool cat. And second for words you can live by which is pretty silly but people find it funny, all the annoying people I say "Your like a bugger I'd like to flick". See I told you it was silly.ha

Kindness is wisdom.

a day with ellen is like having sunshine everyday.
with ellen everyday is like christmas.
be cool in school
saying for the mug patricia

Hello Ellen,

I would like to thank you for all the great things that you have done for people. I am not one of them but I would like to say it is greatly appreciated. Keep on giving it will come back to you many folds over. You are such a compassionate person. I do hope that one day I would be able to be in your audience where I will see you in person and ask you for a great big hug. My life is a long sad story of which I have locked myself awy now. I love watching your show and I do so at work on a little hand held tv everday. God Bless..

Love Ya
Angelina

Ellen, I noticed you have men in the audience. I would love to see them compete in the games. Because of the number I know the odds of them being picked are slim. Maybe there could be a way to pick names from male and female guest. Just an idea.
Love your show!!!

hi i like your show so much so i have the chickenpoxes this week how could i get tickets to your show i never miss your show ever i wach it all the time
bye....

I admire you for bringing up the issue of childhood bullying and yes, small children should be taught Compassion and Tolerance. There are also Bullies in the Adult Workplace as well... will it never end? I hope you enjoy the poem below. It is one of my favorites...

Here's to the kids who are different;
the kids who don't always get A's,
the kids who have ears
twice the size of their peers,
or noses that go on for days.

Here's to the kids who are different,
the kids who are just out of step,
the kids they all tease,
who have cuts on their knees
and whose sneakers
are constantly wet.

Here's to the kids who are different,
the kids with a mischievous streak,
for when they have grown,
as history has shown,
it's their difference that makes them unique.

( The Goldie Hawn TV Special, 1978. )


When I was little and I said I cant do that to my mom, she would always say...Cant married Couldnt and had a bunch of Nothings. Hope you put this on your coffee cup! Love your show and you are so so so so so so funny.

Ellen
I live in Daytona Beach--across the states entirely from you. Watch your show every day as is my one hour of therapy. You & your show have seen me through some very tough times this past year. My soul mate of 61 years died on 11-10-08 & YOU HAVE MADE ME LAUGH & REALLY ENJOY MY LIFE AS IT IS NOW, I also have seen your videos of you & Portia's most beautiful & intimate Wedding & every vacation you go on & love watching your lives together. Happy you had a nice Easter vacation at Big Sur. Must have been great. I also watch Portia on her new show just because she is
on it. You two deserve whatever goodness you receive as you both are beautiful inside & out. Love you--Jo Watters, Daytona Beach Shores, Fl.

Dear Ellen,
WHY is it soooo hard to get tickets to your show? i've been trying since the fall because we're going to be in la for our son's graduation from college May 15. I told my husband to book our flight days earlier so I could go to your show but everytime I try to get tickets that calendar either doesn't work (I keep hitting keys and nothing!) or else the day is blank. Do you have a show on Friday or am I just out of luck?jan

Hi! Ellen

Here's a few for your mugs. But, they are
are not original, I just like them.
The 4th one is simply the way I feel about things in life!!(relationships, good job, nice car, home, etc.)
P.S.
I'm not after "4" mugs" (but,2 would be nice!) ;-)
Love your show...
"keep on keeping on!"
