You read that right. Dr. Laura and I have been hitting the streets 2 or 3 times a week. I'll tell you that woman can make me scream at the callers she gets. On occasion she has made me cry. There have even been times when I have had to reprimand her for not listening. Dr. Laura doesn't mind. The neighbors probably think I am crazy for talking to her.
That's because Dr. Laura is not with me physically. I am listening to her podcast that I subscribed to. I've been listening to her show since she got the lunch hour spot on KFI640 many many years ago. If you do a google search on Dr. Laura, you'll find a lot of hate sites. I think some of those sites come from the crowd that believe in free speech as long as you agree with them. Heaven have mercy on your soul if you disagree with them.
What these people fail to see is that Dr. Laura is human and like all of us learns and grows as a person as she gets older. She educates her self on topics. I remember screaming at her years ago when her comments on homeschooling were clearly uninformed. Guess what? She got informed. She now supports the choice to home school and even recommends it.
I really don't know how she can do three hours every weekday. I know there are times she has to scream when she gets off the air. I also don't understand how people can say they have listened to her for years and ask the questions they do. If you listen to her, how can you not know what she will say? It isn't rocket science.
Her message is simple. Be there for your kids. Go and do the right thing. Don't stay silent to evil. Don't be a wet noodle. Love your kids. Love your spouse.
I believe she does a lot more good than not. I think this post ended up being a different perspective of Dr. Laura than that of the hate sites.
I really wanted to endorse the three hour podcast. No commercials. Listen anytime you want. I'm not just walking when I listen to her. My arms are being thrown up in the air, my pace quickens, my adrenaline gets additional shots and I laugh. All bonus exertion to add to the walk. I think Dr. Laura makes a great walking buddy.
