I believe this is a very pragmatic proposal. I have found since taking this post that when it comes to missile defense, some hold a view bordering on theology that regards any change of plans or any cancellation of a program as abandonment or even breaking faith.

These photos crack me up i laugh so hard i was crying funny stuff keep it comming ellen--- your one of the best thing thats ever happen to day time TV!!!! I never miss a show....

Spare the rod?

Scripture is very clear about spanking. It’s not going to kill your children. In fact, it’s going to help them. The key is to spank in love and not in anger.

If you want your Christian family to thrive then you really need to consider spanking your children for direct disobedience. It will bring peace into your home and will show your children that you love them enough to discipline them. They will probably even thank you for the spankings some day.

Ellen is the best!! xoxoxo

The frequency, precipitation characteristics and hydrologic ramifications of multiple occurrences, or series, of convective weather systems are presented and discussed. The temporal and spatial characteristics of the accumulated precipitation from a series of convective complexes is investigated and compared to that of Hurricane Alicia.

It is found that mesoscale convective weather systems account for approximately 30% to 70% of the warm-season (April–September) precipitation over much of the region between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. During the June through August period, their contribution is even larger. Moreover, series of convective weather systems are very likely the most prolific precipitation producer in the United States, rivaling and even exceeding that of hurricanes.

Des rangées de tables et de banc nous attendaient au centre de l'immense pièce. Les planchers, les murs et les poutres du plafond étaient tous taillés dans le même bois rougeâtre. Curieusement, il n'y avait pas de fenêtre, si bien qu'on avait l'impression de pénétrer dans une profonde caverne. Nos cris et nos rires rebondissaient en écho contre les parois de bois, se mêlant au claquement métallique des plats et des couverts. Mic me cria quelque chose du bout de la table, mais avec ce vacarme, je ne pus saisir un seul mot. Évidemment, il y en avait qui se plaignaient de la nourriture. Moi, je n'avais jamais eu autant à manger au déjeuner. Mais jamais je ne m'étais senti non plus autant d'appétit; aussi, je dévorai tout.

Help students see the consequences of forgetting by asking "how" and "what" questions: "How will this affect your grades?" "What will happen if you don't complete your project?" "How might forgetting this affect your friendship with Juan (if Juan may be angry or disappointed)?" But never ask questions that might add to the student's embarrassment.

I love you Ellen!

Hello. I am the one who posted the comment on Ellen's high school photo on Sept. 3, 2007 at 10:47 p.m. I wrote "Oh Ellen! You're cute!". Could you please remove my name from this post as I do not want my name to show up in a Google search. Thanks for your understanding. --E.M.

Um , Thats not fair. This is a Good Picture of you.
And Your Eyes are Beautiful!!!
Possibly a bad hair do. Nothing photo shop couldnt fix

MUHA
Your perfect
Stephanie

This must have been during your morhping period.......we all go through that awful period........I've hidden all of my pictures from then!!!!

If you haden't.........you wouldn't be who you are today..........someone else said it before, but I'm going to say it again.

Beautiful inside and out!!!! (and the inside part is the most important, that's where YOU shine!)

OMG it's Ellen. This is a good pic (compared to the others), but I do see why you would think it was bad. I hate the flippy hair thing too. Is there something around your neck or is it some kind of background or a picture effect or something. Please enlighten us to what's going on in the pic & why you think it's bad.

Girl, if this is a bad picture I want to see the Good ones. I wish I had pictures like this of me when I was in school. OMG!!! You look great and your smille is just perfect.

Love ya!!!!!!!!!!

i love you ellen

I typically don't voice my opinions, but I must on this one. You look gorgeous!! And I'm only 23!, Not saying that you're old, but times were different back then and you look absolutely wonderful for those times and these!

i know everybody says you're cute and all that in that pic.. but i have to tell ya--nicely, of course--- that i like ur pics better now. hahaha cant i get any more subtle than that?? take care!

Is this a bad photo?? I disagree: you look adorable (as always)!

ellen that picture is buatiful dont say that

You were so cute!

Ellen,
Hi Ellen I sent you an e-mail last month I dont no if you got it! So do you like being married well I hope so and, tell Porsha I think she very preety and so are you!!!! I love your show I like how you do games & activitys with the audince! I love the marshmello game it's so funny!

Dang, how is this a bad photo? You are absolutely gorgeous!

Hey hot stuff, I'll be back to pick you up in a minute!

I love you Ellen

i really dont think this is a bad picture!!!....whats so bad about it??

Could have been worse ...

Aww! why is it that Ellen's bad school photos have to look good, and ours look ridiculous? This is not bad at all! I love your hair all flippy like that!

OMG... someone thought you had a dog cone around your neck! That's too funny. Not a bad school photo at all. I'll have to look through my photos to find the one where I'm wearing suspenders that say "Nanu Nanu" on them. You know... from Mork and Mindy?!? I've got one eyebrow up and the other down and I'm smiling so hard that I'm sure it was hurting my face. Hmmm... memories!

FYI - It's the photo background with some black shading on the corners of the photo that make it appear that way.

"you" are not bad looking in this pic at all, but WTF is that around your neck? It looks like either a cone they put on dogs so they dont bite their stitches or else that you were dressed like Queen Elizabeth????

Are you kidding me? This is a beautiful picture! OK, I was just being polite coz I want TWO FREE TICKETS to your show!

Were you wearing an evening dress for this pic?? Looks like an off-the-shoulder little number.

Actually, you look very nice.

But I'll bet you don't like this photo because of the hair flippy thingy going on with your feathered bangs...ah, those feathered bangs! I had those....if you moved your head wrong, they'd flip out funny unless you cemented your bangs in place with hairspray. Of course, if I got caught in the wind, the bangs were so stiff that they'd STILL flip out all funny!

You have beautiful eyes at any age. Keep them smiling. :)

Your photo isn't bad at all... at least not compaired to the other ones LOL

thats a fabulous photo Ellen, my school photo has frizzy hair, acne and a piggy nose - seventh grade was my worst...

Hello Ellen. If you don't remember I am the one that is Danny Norieaga's #1 fan and I just want to say that this picture of you is great. Is that your senior picture?!! Best one I have seen so far!!!!

hahahahah elen that is such a cute pic of you in high school???

Dear Ellen,
I really enjoy watching your show. You are an inspiration to all women. When they changed it back t 4 PM, I had to tape it because I am at work. I love the bad pictures and really enjoy all the games you play. How about havng some more soap opera stars on? Well keep on keeping on (ha ha).

omg its ellen

As a mom and now grandmom, these just cracked me up. All the fussing we do to send them off to school on picture day, and I can honestly say, all were pretty much like the submitted. But ya gotta love em.................PS Always Blame the Photographer....

Those pictures were hilarious but I'm pretty sure you would get a good crying laugh out of my fourth grade picture! My bangs were cut to far back on my head by a bad stylist so my mom, bless her beehive,backcombing,teasing heart stacked my bangs straight up off my head about three inches and not only for that picture but that whole year which promted the name Peg Bundy, you know off the Married With Children show. (the redheaded mother with the big hair) One classmate started that name and even though I wised up and quit letting my mom do my hair, I was called Peg Bundy or Peg till high school. It was awful!! If my mom can find the picture and send it to me I'll post it. Oh I almost forgot, I also had big Red framed glasses then too. To the Good Ol' Days right!:) P.S. Don't change a thing about you or your show! You touch sooo many people with your caring,giving,loving heart! I'm surprised it fits in your chest! LOL:) You make my day sweetie!:)

oh come on ellen this pic is perfect

Ellen, you rock. I just went back to work, and can't watch your show anymore. Thinking of quitting just so I can. You are hilarious!!

You still have the same smile. You have a great show, great personality...keep going..you help alot of people..you never know who you might touch with your words. I just love to watch your show. You are so real..it is great.I even got my 10 year old granddaughter to watch your show.

Ellen,

I watched your show for the first time today. I am usually not home but I was layed off yesterday. Nothing like being unemployed for the holidays! LOL! I just wanted to thank you for making me laugh today and making me feel better! Merry Christmas!

Andie

Hi Ellen, love your show and site. The holidays are a little hard on me as I lost my Mom on Xmas Eve 1987 from ALS. Whenever I am feeling a little depressed, I just turn on your show and you cheer me up so much. Keep up the great work making everyone happy and Happy Holidays!

THOSE WERE SOME REALLY GREAT PICTURES, BUT NOBODY CAN TOP MY "bad school" PICTURE MINE WAS FROM THE 8TH GRADE AND WHEN MY BEST FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL SAW IT SHE THOUGHT IT WAS MY BROTHER! AND I WAS A 16 YR. OLD GIRL!

ellen
i find you one of the funniest people EVER! i love your show. if you ever head to northwestern PA, you will hear me in the HOUSE!
keep up the wonderful work.
love kathleen

My mom and I watched you faithfully, until she passed last year at the age of 50. Now I still watch you everyday, just myself Goose and Timmy, we dance with you. Thank you for giving my mom and I the special times that you did, we enjoyed watching you everyday. It was the only time we both sat down and put everything else off. Thanks again
Michelle

I have the worst picture ever, I mean ever. My mom made me get this short hair style when I was in middle school that was feathered back, and she made me wear a pink and aqua green sweater. I had braces on top of all of this. When I was getting my hair cute a woman asked if HE had long hair before coming in. I cried and cried.

WOW...what a magical time picture day was at any age. Don't know where any of mine are but knowing my family it will probably show up on your web sight. You will know it when you see it. Looks like I had only 2 teeth in the 6th grade. Your pic was extremly well done and look what you grew up into. You've always been beautiful inside and out. You are special and we all thank you for it ELLEN!

Deb

Good lord! Who is THAT fine mess??? EEK!!...oh wait thats you...my bad...i take it back haha

u look BEAUTIFUL

I laughed my tail? off

I thought that my school pics were bad. They were no where near as horrendous as these were. The only good pic was the last one of you Ellen. You are still lookin good.

OH THATS A SEXY SEXY SEXY BABE!!!!!! xoxoxox

I have a grade school picture somewhere around here where I am sporting a "do-it-yourself" hair cut. It is absolutely horrible. :-)

WE BOTH LOVE YOU AND CANT WAIT TO GET HOME AND WATCH YOUR SHOW EVERYDAY....WE EVEN LOVE THE RERUNS.......THE OLNY SHOW WE WATCH ON A REGULAR BASIS...ANYWAY WE LOVE YOU THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS AMD THE TEARS......YOU AMAZE US.....

somewhere there is a saying that "as we get older, we get better looking" so true for you. I'm almost 70 and somehow that saying got reversed.

Hi, Ellen

I don't think you could take a bad pic.
I watch you everyday. You are an inspiration to
women everywhere. Don't ever change.

my first visit to your web site,loved it and I will surely return to see what zany things are happening!!!!!

OMG YOU SO DIFFERENT AND BEAUTIFUL

You haven't changed a bit.

OMG That's to funny!

OMG That's to funny!

hey ellen

i have had worst hair belivie me...2 grade the worst one...

Dear Ellen,
I have been going into your Clothing every day hoping that you will MARK down The PINK Cancer Underwear. I think $25.00 is a bit much, although I know it is for a good cause.
I Love your show and watch it just about everyday,(unless I am out and about) and you bring so much happeniness and joy to everyone.
Have you considered going on Dancing with The Stars? I think it would be quite interesting. But I remember something about your back. I suffer from Chronic Back Pain, and had a Neuro Stimlulator put in my back on the right hand side. It is annoying by at times helpful. I have to carry the remote with me so I can get some relief when needed.
Sorry to go on and on.
But how about knocking down the price on the Pink Undies????????????????????????
Please
RMR

Those home made hair cuts are aweful....woah!

is that u ..........u look different ..........

the Jackson 5!!!!!! hah that's sooooo fuuunnnnyyyy!!!!!!!!! Ellen, you look good though

hello...i've had much worse...you look good

I love the first one, i wish my school picture was that cool!

You always look beautiful Ellen!

You call that a bad school photo? That's not bad at all, you should see mine...lol
You was cute Ellen.

Oh Ellen! You're cute!
