Hello everybody! Haven't turned computer on in a while--holing up in freezing weather and trying to stay warm is about it, nothing to say. The news is always so bad and depressing I don't watch it much anymore--like an ostrich with its head in the sand, but whatever. Hibernating away, watching inane TV.

Oprah Winfrey has been in the news with a shocking revelation. She has a sister she never knew existed. The information came to her in a most unexpected way. She devoted an entire hour of her program detailing it. Her mother Vernita had a daughter she gave up at birth.This daughter named Patricia put the clues together and realized O was her sister. O and Patricia met for the first time last T'giving.

Oprah had her sister and mother together, and the mother looked very uncomfortable about it and didn't look Patricia in the eye. It was a big family secret and no one had known about it.
Oprah said every member of her family had used her name to make money--her sister who died of drugs had sold a story to a tabloid about Oprah having a baby when she was a teenager. Her brother died of AIDS had sold a story too. Even her mother and father had used her--only this new sister Patricia hasn't used her to make money. This sister seems so likeable and friendly and nice, hopefully she won't try to make money off Oprah.

Good grief. What else is Oprah gonna expose?
