how do we get the coupons for the grilled chicken

gaybebower

Hey Gina ---- I am at Broker at Century 21 SGR, just down the street from the studio and we are taking the KFC promo one step further. We have downloaded 4 coupons from each of our computers in the office and giving them to the Homeless. There is the KFC at Madison and Ashland and passing them out this afternoon. No reason why those without access to computers and who really could use a good free meal can't enjoy this terrific deal.

Thank you Producergs! This was a great show.
Keep up the good work!!

And, I liked gaybebower comment, I might just post it again on the talk about Oprah show message board. You have given the gift that keeps on giving.

PLEASE HELP ME!
I don't know how this is going to go over and I certainly don't want to come out looking like a weirdo (because i'm not...not today). I feel a little desperate and so I'm kindof in a "what the heck" mood. My name is Yvonne Michelle. I am a sometimes happily married mother of 4 boys. I am a labor and delivery nurse and a wanna be comedian. I have been told I was funny all my life. My patient just told me I should be a comedian last night which is why I decided to go for it. I got a posted link on my facebook the other morning. It said that the Oprah show was looking for people just like me who have been told all their life that they were funny and wanted a chance to show the funny on the Oprah show. I told my boys and my mom that I had a good feeling about it and as soon as I woke up ( I had worked 14hours that night and was beat) I was going to fill it out. I woke up and got ready for work, sat down to fill out the app and IT WAS GONE!!! I just about lost my breath, litally sick to my stomach! I actually cried.(go figure?) I feel that my calling is to be a comic. I have dabbled in it but life has always found a way to come in like a thief and steal my vision...or at least distort it. My oldest son's father, Ronnie, died in 1994 from cancer, but he left me a card to open after he died telling me that he wished he could be here when I made it as a comic. I always held on to that, but 14 years later...nothing. I know if its to be, it's up to me...so that is why I am aimlessly asking for any help anyone can give me.... Please help me. I am the funniest nurse/mom you will ever hear. It is a God given talent that I have embraced now I just need the rest of the world to embrace it to. Laughter is so good for the soul and I just want to share my gift.
Hope this is not in vain,
Yvonne Michelle funnygirl4god@hotmail.com

HI Gina,

I sent you a message and I hope you read it soon... I really enjoyed the show today and the free chicken was a hit, Oprah never stops giving and that is why she is so blessed and I admire that in anyone because to whom much is given much is required and she always is taking everything to the next level. May God continue to Bless her and her entire staff.

Best,

Katrina Lee-Jones

Hey Gina! Check out my new blog!!

This is a hookup with significant strings attached. My Indianapolis kfc store did indeed accept the coupon. However, I was denied the opportunity to choose my own sides, and this is not an isolated incident because I heard this happened to several other people at different KFC stores. All of the wonderful KFC sides were proudly displayed on the Oprah Winfery show and Oprah clearly stated that customers could choose among macncheese, baked beans, etc. Oprah even recommended corn on the cob. I was told by an assistant manager that everyone automatically receives a side of cold slaw and mashed potatoes. Well, I am allergic to an ingredient in the cole slaw which is why I asked for macncheese instead. The assistant manager refused my request. I think the promotion is deceptive and that Oprah needs to say something to KFC because they are souring this so called hookup. I think KFC corporate simply should tell their stores to allow customers to choose the sides showed on Oprah or don't participate in the promotion rather than alter or manipulate the coupon terms or add on terms not stated on the coupon (example: we only accept coupon between 1:30pm - 4:30pm).

Hi Gina,
I really enjoy your blog and watch the Oprah show everyday. Would you ever consider doing a feature on a story line that is on the soap opera Guiding Light between the characters of Olivia and Natalia (a.k.a. Otalia)? It is a slow burning love story about two women who fell in love with each other that never expected to. I think this story line would fit in well on a piece about same-sex couple love stories becoming more prevalent on television. It is the best love story that is on television right now and has a huge fan base that can also be found online. This story line has touched so many people across the world and has been handled beautifully by the writers. I think it would be facinating for your viewers to be introduced to this storyline and the performances that are given by Crystal Chappell (plays Olivia) on Guiding Light everyday. Keep up the great work in the world of OW!

We represent over 1200 North American artists who focus on a variety of media: jewelry, painting, glass art, wearables, furniture and more. And much like Harpo, we are proud to be led by strong and driven women. Today our CEO is Lisa Bayne, who has expanded upon the company¿s vision to bring original artwork to anyone anywhere, whether it be a quirky coffee mug or a fabulous glass blown chandelier!

Thank you for your time.

Hey Oprah and Staff! I know you guys are getting tons of mail but please take the time to read my message. I am a 19 year old college student at Stony Brook University in New York. Recently, I went on a study abroad program to Tanzania in East Africa. I was there for four weeks and the expeirence was totally life changing. I will never be the same. The reason I'm writing to you is because I met a young man, 12 years old, who's name is John. I met him while I was in Mto Wa Mbu and we became close friends. He eventually revealed to be that he has diabetes. He gives himself insulin twice a day with the same few needles. He also has to check his sugar twice a day by taking blood from his finger. Recently, he had to drop out of school because he had to pay for his own medication. He is also limited in what he can eat because of his condition, on top of already being limited for economic reasons. Since I have come home, I can't stop thinking about him and how much I would like to help. I have a goal of raising $5000.00 to put towards orphanages, clinics, and schools. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how I could raise this money. I have plans for car washes, lemonade stands, family parties and more. I 'm really excited to raise this money to help people who otherwise would struggle. Oprah, and staff, please contact me as soon as you can if you can help me. I have so many stories and pictures that I would love to share with you. I'll wait patiently for your response. Eager Student, Ashley Zwerin

Hi Gina! Speaking of free stuff and give-aways, I won a contest from Oprah's magazine. I forget the actual name of the contest, something about my favorite things, and I won the best stuff, worth $500! O's magazine sent me dinner party items for 6. Beautiful drinking glasses, healthy recipes, knives that look like onions (love those, and so does everyone else lol), cloth napkins and homemade popcorn. I was so delighted.. And yes, people really do win sweepstakes!

How cool.

Hello Gina,

It would be great for the bloggers to get their dreams reached with the help of Oprah. Your blog is very informative.

Hey Gina
I get very excited when people win because I consider myself an unlucky sweepstakes winner, however in the past I have been requesting to have my dream come through as so many other guests have. I would love to meet writing staff of my forever favorite show SNL lol.

Hi Gina,

Ever since the Summer Giveaway started I was so excited because I feel that I finally have the opportunity to win something because I've never won anything. Everyday I log on and put in the word of the day (maybe I missed three days but..I'm saying lol) I've been logging on and putting in the word of the day and no win. I'm sick and tired of not winning. I know it's not your fault and I think the summer giveaway is a great idea. I just wish that I could be a part of the group winners!

PS. I still love Oprah and the Oprah Winfrey Show, I'm just frustrated that I haven't won.

I absolutely love the show. But I miss Dr. Robin. Whatever happened to her? She was always so compassionate and had the best answers for every question. I'd love to speak to her about my life challenges. Where in the world is Dr. Robin????

Hi Gina hope all is well with you. Just wanted to let you know that the kids Oprah took to Disneyland are now in middle school but the memory lives on at our school. It was wonderful meeting you and once again thanks for all you do and did.

Hey Gina,

Who should you all surprise.. I think it would be awesome just to do random Acts of Kindess throughout the City of chicago. Surprising people like firefighters, police officers, crossing guards, some of Chicagos Worst Schools who have teachers that are still committed to changing the lives of our Youth.

Something simple for example for the Chicago police officers in Englewood where the crime rate is skyrocketing. you could set up a afternoon lunch or morning breakfast where they can just stop in grab a bite. A banner is hung saying thank you we appreciate you and were praying for your continued safety as you serve and protect. Something extra would be to get the people in the community involved to volunteer to help with the random Acts What do you think

Hi Gina,
My wildest dreams would come true if you guys could arrange for me to meet Keith Urban, only the most talented musician, singer, song-writer, performer,etc, etc. I have ever had the pleasure to see in concert (only seven times so far)! I am a 40 year old wife and mother to two sons and I think I must be going through a midlife crisis of some sort. I have gone bezerk over Mr. Keith Urban and to see him in concert is to love him forever. His music is inspirational and life changing. I only live an hour south of his hometown of Nashville, and I would love to personally meet him and thank him for the millions of hours of sheer bliss I experience when I listen to him. Besides attending with girlfriends, I have even begun dragging my reluctant husband and sons with me to his shows, determined to make fans out of them as well. Keith is a genuinely sweet soul with lots of compassion for his fans and true passion for his family, music, and his life. He is an extraordinary human being full of gratitude. That's an Oprah interview if I've ever heard one! I've always wondered why he's never been on the show. Please change that! Thanks, Terri claybo@igiles.net

Hi Gina, Im looking for some help maybe the Oprah show can do this. Please get back to me, thanks abd keep up the great work !

My good friend was drugged and raped at a party so bad that she will never have children. She again experienced another brutal attack where she was beaten by two men one with a baseball bat the other a knife. Again she survived. Now at age 19 she is helping others to cope with an attack or offer advice and courage to get away from the situation. After surviving utter horror twice she has lived to tell about it. At this point she should be filled with hate and fear but to my surprise wants to help others !
Se is now volunteers on crisis hot lines and plans to do as much as she can to reach as many women as she can. Please help me make this dream a reality for her. Please help her to reach out and save a life.

Anyone able to help guide me in working with the producers so her story can be heard would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Gina, i tried to send you a message, but your inbox was full. Please tell Oprah that she needs to have Carly Fleischmann on her show, she is a teenage non verbal girl who has autism, she lets the world know what its like to live with autism as a teenage non verbal girl, as she says forget about the experts, how bout asking someone who has it what its like.

Thanx for taking the time to read this Gina, I promise you, you or oprah wont be disappointed, there is a clip on utube as a sneak peak, just enter carly/oprah
