My Thought...And I Do Have One


NOT SO QUIET TIME

I tried to find some quiet time this weekend... which is becoming harder and harder to do. I don’t know when it became harder, but I’m gonna go ahead and say it was when the industrial revolution started. I went to my favorite spa, where it’s mandatory that you keep quiet. There are always people in there who just can’t control their voices. I want to tell them, “You have your outside voice, you have your inside voice and you have your nude voice... and this is the time for at least two of them. Sitting in there with my eyes closed, I was nice and relaxed and then I heard a loud whisper, “Where do you wanna eat after this? Chinese? Italian? Mexican? What about Chili’s? It’s always good. Have you ever had their awesome blossoms? I think it’s Mojito Monday!” I escaped to the Jacuzzi where some other women recognized me... at least I think it was a Jacuzzi. It may have been a roman bath. They were trying to be inconspicuous as they loudly whispered, “Look next to you! It’s Ellen DeGeneres.” I was polite. I said, “Why don’t we all just listen to Enya for a while, and when I put my clothes back on, we can re-take that picture?”

woahhh lots of bad mojo today!! come on people stop begging ellen (or any celeb for that matter) ellen is obviously one hell of a generous woman that does what she can when she can! people asking why she doesnt reply to emails etc...think about this..the show probably has 2-3 mil...yes i said mil people watching daily in america alone then factor in the international audience...then lets say a tenth of 1 percent send her emails (ok, so im not really going to work out the math im just throwing random numbers out there lol)basically she has to be receiving thousands of emails and fan mail either about her show, stand up etc etc...so for her to go through every last mail would be impossible. she has however read mail here and there on her show and vlogs...thats more then alot of other celebs ever do or will do. lets all be happy ellen is kicking major network butt and rocking us with her show daily and with that i want to say...THANK YOU ELLEN FOR ALL THAT YOU DO :) YOUR SUCH A FREAKING AWESOME ROLE MODEL AND A TRUE TALENT! CONGRATS ON THE BIG 800TH SHOW!! lots of love from florida!

It just seems to me that Ellen's fans are some very naive people. How immature do you have to be to actually believe that your letters and gifts are always going to be acknowleded by this particular company? It's a business, people, whether you want to face it or not. The world of entertainment is a big, huge business and the only reason they do these big give-a-ways to begin with, is for strictly promotional purposes!

Hey, All I'm trying to say is that I think the network could change their policy. If they don't want our "gifts", then send them back. I don't really want a form letter, just a email to acknowledge it would be nice.

The ‘gimme’ criticize-fest expressed in a few of the prior letters galls me. When I share a funny story, et al, my intentions are to try to give something back to Ellen because she gives to me during every one of her performances.

Emails, photos, and everything else sent to Ellen are supposed to be ‘thank you’ gestures or to express an opinion that has been solicited.

Ellen appreciates her audience by thanking us almost everyday for emails, letters, and etcetera. She always says that she reads them all and I think that’s an extremely devoted individual. So why is it so important to receive a 'form letter?' Forget about it: Save a tree and Go Green!

Ellen
I am so dissapointed that you didn't give anything to the girl who was in the closet with the burglar yet gave the guy who saved people from the plane that crashed next door to him a week at a casino.

I'm not saying the guy didn't deserve your generous gift but come on... the girl in the closet with a dangerous armed robber deserved something... a massage at the very least don't cha think?

Well apparently not at the time but now do you?

Just something that's been bothering me

Well, I just sent some pictures and I spend a lot of valuable time watching Ellen. If she doesn't want to respond to emails, letters , and videos...then why do we bother??

See these thoughts of yours Ellen..don't you think it is about time you had fresh ones. Because these ones have been said by you before. Now I am guessing from what season do they belong too..because as sure as eggs are eggs your thoughts are not from Season V..I am sure you must have a writer that is fresh instead of one that keeps pulling out the stinky old socks for us. Keep up with the beat Ellen and keep us fresh!!

Here's my 2cents to viewers. Yes, I have read the network's policy. This show consistently solicits your thoughts, suggestions, DVD's, photos and emails to make this show even more entertaining than it is. And yes, there are millions that respond. There must be a huge dumpster there for all the stuff they receive.If they don't have the decency to send some form of reply, I think we should quit sending things. Even the White House sends some stock photocopy of a form letter out. It doesn't answer your question or anything, but at least you know it got there. It seems to offer some level of respect. Even if the staff is smaller than the White House, a stupid form letter would be nice. People do like to be heard and you obviously like to hear from them, so how about acknowlege them?
