Sorry the letter didn't make it in time - but I'd be bringing up that story on a daily basis, too.

So, I will not click over and give Darvin some more mommy blogger grief. I will, however, totally give you the mommy blogger seal of approval for your Oprah appearance--I totally think it counts. <br /><br />However, I may be biased because I was once invited to be on Oprah's best friend Gayle King's short-lived '90s talk show (it's a long stupid story, but it was in response to an opinion piece I had published in The Buffalo News and, back in those snail mail only days, the request didn't reach me in time) and I've been counting that as "almost being on Oprah" ever since. (And twenty years later, I apparently will still take any excuse to bring it up...) ;)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-37971879673193058152013-03-12T14:01:11.672-05:002013-03-12T14:01:11.672-05:00I always wondered about those types of commercials...I always wondered about those types of commercials. Were the people actors? Were they real customers? Now I know. I'm sort of baffled that they can run your commercial for an eternity, but your compensation expires.<br /><br />P.S. You have certainly had more than 15 minutes of fame! Look at you...TV, radio, book store, stage.
