Do you know what almost half the population of Macon, Georiga is doing? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. coffeebreak (4811)2 years ago

Just heard on Oprah (never watch the show, but heard it while I was rewinding a VHS tape to get ready to record Blue's Clue's for my grand daughters..) that their statistics show that not only is Macon Georgia their top rated city for watching the Oprah Winfrey show since it went national in 1986,, but at 4:00 monday through friday, 45% of the Macon, Georgia population is in front of their TV watching Oprah Winfrey Show. Don't know anyone in Macon, but I just have to ask... are you serious?!?!? Nearly half the town is in front of a TV somewhere every day at 4:00?!!?!!? I know I am not a TV watcher but good grief - half the town???? Where are you when Oprah is on??!?!

Where am I when Oprah is on? Watching ANOTHER channel if I'm anywhere near a television. I can't stand that woman. I think it's entirely possible that she's the anti-christ. (I'm only kidding, but I really do not like her at all.)
And please, let's keep her OUT of the political arena!


myLot reputation of 75/100. caroliewrites (133)  2 years ago

Kudos dutchess!! I agree!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. coffeebreak (4811)  2 years ago

I wasn't going to say anything, but I don't care for her either!


myLot reputation of 91/100. dutchess67 (695)  2 years ago

I think the woman is just way too full of herself and her own place in the world.
She had made entirely too much money, for one thing. It makes me utterly sick to see that ONE woman has billions while other's are struggling to make ends meet right in her own back yard. Then when she decides to build a school, she goes to freaking Africa to do it! She wasn't born, nor is she from Africa. And the crap she gives away.... what the f*ck? She gives seven to ten thousand dollars worth of stuff away to people who really don't need it. Why not get all that stuff and other things like FOOD and CLOTHING and go out and give them to families who TRULY need them? What family needs a freaking refrigerator with a TV in it?!?!?!?!
I just don't think that a lot of what she does makes a lick of sense and it causes a lot of resentment. I don't care for her at all and never really have. My Mom used to just love her, but even she doesn't like her anymore.

Where am I when Oprah is on? WORKING!!! You mean to tell me that 45% of Macon don't work that time of day? WOW. Must be nice huh?


myLot reputation of 97/100. coffeebreak (4811)  2 years ago

That was my first thought too! Sure is nice work if you can get it, i guess!

hmmm....I don't think I'll ever move to Macon, GA if that's the case. I can imagine the mentality of those people...lol. I live in Boston and I'm probably getting my dinner ready and am sitting here in front of my pc with the Chiller Channel or Still Standing on tv. Oprah? I don't think so!


myLot reputation of 97/100. coffeebreak (4811)  2 years ago

I hear it is a beautiful place, but when the town shuts down for a tv show - of any kind - that is pretty .. humm.. well, you get the picture. And to shut down for Oprah? I wonder how many of those same people watch an hour of news every day!

Well I guess in Macon county Ga. they must have nothing better to do at 4 pm. I'm on the computer, or fixing everyone their dinner., T.V. is not for me, I'd rather plow the last 40 acres than to sit & watch T.V. ....LOL...Lori


myLot reputation of 97/100. coffeebreak (4811)  2 years ago

NOt sure if I'd rather plow the lower 40, but I sure do find many other things to do than sit in front of that one-eyed monster! I admit, I'll catch soaps from time to time, but even then it is just an hour or so and while i am doig something else! Like MyLOT!!!!

I do believe that is overly exaggerated. I'm not from Macon, a good ways away really, maybe 2 hours away from there.. but people do have jobs and lives just like everywhere else. I hardly ever watch Oprah anymore. I used to when she was big, but she had a much better show back then I think. Maybe 3 or 4 times a year I will watch her. I am here at the computer when she is on.


myLot reputation of 97/100. coffeebreak (4811)  2 years ago

Oprah herself stated it! You question Oprah!!! How dare you!!!!! She was even in the town filming tht particular episode! Oprah wouldn't lie!!! ... okay, gag me with a spoon!!!

I thought it was a little high, but hten again, I don't know the unemployment rate in that town or what ever else is on at that same time and Oprah is just wins by default!


myLot reputation of 94/100. OreoCookie3 (18122)  2 years ago

Macon is pretty big.. like Atlanta... nearly as big as Atlanta... is right there near Middle GA. I just don't see it that everyone or nearly everyone is watching opera. That just doesn't sound right... It's kind of like saying everyone in Atlanta watches or everyone in Houston Texas watches her, or everyone in Chicago watches... which they might.. I don't know... but it doesn't sound right.
