Ask Oprah’s ALL Stars – Myths, Secrets and Confessions

by paula on October 29, 2011

Finishing up my last “Ask Oprah’s All Stars,” and feeling a little smarter. Who knew that by watching TV, brain cells might be multiplying as I type. When I was young…it was a whole other story. My brains not mush at all…thank you Oprah Winfrey Network. So, for those who missed it or who do not have the channel…or who have not found the channel…take a look and don’t feel like you are on the sidelines. Here is the wrap-up and the facts. Take what you need…and pass it on. It’s all I’m asking…please spread the word…because I like people in the know! So, let’s sit down with three of America’s favorite experts and America’s favorite BFF. The topic is myths, secrets and confessions. There’s just one hour…I wonder what we’ll be able to learn.

Megan is Pregnant…and is terrified to tell her dad. How can I tell my dad, Dr. Phil? – For a young couple, it’s been difficult for Megan to let her dad know about the pregnancy…who she hasn’t seen in over 2 years and who thinks that she’s still a virgin. So, reunited on ALL Stars…Megan’s dad is coming out and thinks that he’s there to reunite with his daughter. Megan feels like she can do it with the support of the ALL Stars…we hope so. So, Dr. Phil is preparing him…Frank…for the news and his response is “this is great” and not the disappointment that she was scared to get from him. Suze reminds them to get a will set up and look at life insurance…because now, they have to start thinking abou these things.And with a little more TV magic…and Dr. Oz help, she finds out that she’s having a little girl…congratulations!
Michelle is asking if she’s too old to have kids…and Suze, how much would it cost to freeze my eggs? To save you the click – It costs $12k. 38 year-old Michelle asks Suze Orman and Dr. Oz if it’s a good idea to freeze her eggs in order to have children in the future.

Shannon is asking Dr. Oz, how do I prevent an allergic reaction during sex?
Suze, is 5 dollars enough to leave my child from the tooth fairy?Before you link to your answer…note that Dr.Oz says yes to $5 and Dr. Phil says that the child could maybe get more if he auctioned it off between two loving grandmas…but Suze’s response…was shocking…even for Suze!
Suze, is it okay to ask for cash as a wedding gift?
Dr. Oz, is it true that sex drive decreases after menopause?
. 9 and 10 year-olds survive Suze Orman! Suze Orman visits a group of 9 and 10 year-olds to prove that it’s never to early to talk to your children about money.

Ask Oprah’s ALL Stars – Love & Sex

by paula on October 25, 2011

Getting caught up and visiting my ALL STARS today! If you haven’t seen it, Ask Oprah’s All Stars is FULL of great information for just about ANY situation and now, Oprah.com/OWN is making our lives a little easier and offering some details and a bit of transcripts and videos from each episode. Fantastic! It makes it a little easier to get you the information you need by just pointing you in the right direction…and let’s all of us spend a little time with some of our favorite experts!

Finding Mr. Right with Jennifer’s List – Jennifer has a list of 100 requirements in a man that she’s looking for…and she’s seriously passionate about it. Her question is to Dr. Phil: Dr. Phil, is it unrealistic to have a man wish list with 100 traits?
Birth Control at 12? - Dr. Phil lays it down for these two parents who are at odds with what to do with their 12 year old who is acting out…and acting older. Dr. Phi and Dr. Oz weigh in on Dr. Phil, should a 12 year old be on birth control? Dr. Oz, What are the medical ramifications?

Financial Infidelity – Tracy and Roger are looking for help! Well, Tracy is looking for help because she can’t trust her husband with any finances. It’s some tough answers for this couple to hear. Suze says that the only way you can make sure that his finances don’t impact you is divorce and Dr. Phil says, “You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.” Here is their question to the ALL STARS: Suze, how can I help my husband get his finances in order without jeopardizing my own?
Dr. Oz answers what all of us secretly want to know – men and women: Dr. Oz, does the g-spot really exist, and if it does how do you find it?

Suze answers a Facebook question from Chelsea on how this age old situation works - I’m moving in with my boyfriend and I make a lot more money than he does. Suze, how do we split the bills? Just remember: equal percentages!
To tummy tuck or not to tummy tuck? Frances and Ernest ask the question to all our experts – About ten years ago I had a tubal reversal done so that my husband and I can have children together and at that time he made me a promise that I can get a tummy tuck done when we were finished having kids. Dr. Phil, should my husband have to honor his promise to me? Suze, is there a way we could afford to pay for a tummy tuck?
Roxanne asks a very specific question…because she’s noticing some changes and just wants to know but it’s after the answer that you need the kleenex. Reunited with the organ donors family is an amazing opportunity. Dr. Oz, Is it possible to take on the traits of my organ donor?
Khemare is asking Dr. Oz I’m very uncomfortable with the thought of the traditional way of a rectal digital exam. So my question to you Dr. Oz, is there any other way that the prostate can be checked? - while he’s worried about the exam, Dr. Oz is putting him at ease…and he’s doing his doctor thing and giving him one on the show.

The final word from Dr. Phil, Suze Orman and Dr. Oz.

Ask Oprah’s All Stars – Ultimate Checklists for Your Life

by paula on October 17, 2011

As I go through life, I sometimes feel a little obsessive compulsive about checklists. I feel like I live with lists…shopping lists, things to do lists, Christmas gift lists, a generic packing list…even my OWN Evacuation Check List. Yes, don’t judge me…I moved to Florida during a really bad hurricane season and amidst the panic made a checklist to ease my panic. It TOTALLY worked. Well, on tonight’s NEW “Ask Oprah’s All Stars” on the Oprah Winfrey Net, some of our favorite experts added a few more lists to my list. Here is some of their advice and suggestions on a whole range of topics…and a little bit of my take on them.

To Tip or Not to Tip - No-Tip Tre came to our experts to talk about his bad attitude and reasoning behind not tipping…ever. With a little “tip education” from the All Stars and a day at CPK, hopefully, he’s changed his ways. Here is what you need to keep in mind to make sure that your “Tip Karma” doesn’t come back to you in a bad way. First, people that are servers make BELOW minimum wage. BELOW people…like in the $2.25 an hour. (Plus, I think servers also have to PAY taxes on 8.5% of their total gross sales) so don’t be a bad tipper. “It’s a big part of their income,” Dr. Phil reminds us. Just don’t do it.

Tipping Checklist:

Wait Service: 15-20%
Take Out: No Obligation (10% extra service)
Home Deliver: 10-15%
Bartender: $1-2 a drink or 15% of the tab
Tipping Jars: No Obligation
Valet: $2-5
Tip when you get good service people…it’s the right thing to do. Tip Etiquette: 15-20% dine in, 10% delivery, no obligation to tip for takeout.

A Disciplined United Front - “If you are divorced, you and your ex need to be consistent,” Dr. Phil tells us. Here is his simple, but important checklist. Do it for the kids…because you love them.

Divorced Parenting Checklist

Be consistent: Have the SAME Rules, Discipline and Schedule in each house
Discuss important issues: Medical, Education, Financial with each other
Handle disagreements with you ex in a way that shows respect, keep talking, don’t sweat the small stuff and compromise.

What if? Bankruptcy Knowledge – “When you owe as much as you make” is the guideline that Suze gives us for those thinking of bankruptcy and reminds us that “Student loan debt cannot be included.” Here’s a quick checklist… [read more…]
