My only claim to fame is that Dr. Laura used a vignette from my life that I sent her in her book "Ten Stupid Things Men Do To Mess Up Their Lives."

Yowch, how great is that, being an example of what NOT to do to mess up your life?

My daddy always said "son, no one in this world is completely useless. He can always serve as a bad example."

Never knew he meant ME.

Ha ha ha! Better than ending up in Michael Jackson's confessional all-time crushes tell-all, I suppose.

Yes. That was out loud.

LOL!!! Glad you are back ESPECIALLY with a funny story!

I'll have to remember that one.

So...what did you do? Inquiring minds want to KNOW! BTW...I love Dr. Laura...I know many here do not, but I think she's very cool.

Yowch indeed. I realized that you sent her the vignette, as opposed to calling in her radio show, but I've never understood how anyone can call Dr. Laura or any other radio show dealing with personal problems. I've called local sports radio stations a few times, and I would invariably hear comments in person from somebody who heard me on the radio. It doesn't matter what time I called, or how obscure the show was, there would be at least one person in real life who would recognize my voice and tell me he heard me on the radio.

Anyhow, I just know that if I called up Dr. Laura to ask for her advice, there would be many friends and acquaintances who would recognize my voice. Yikes!
