KogaSteelfang 12/22/22 12:16:44 PM #17:	TheHoldSteady posted... Oprah hasn't lived a normal life in over 40 years I guess you start to lose touch after a while with normal life problems. My aunt married into wealth. They grew to hate each other, but he provided a life she never dreamed she could have. He eventually divorced her. She had become incapable of taking care of herself. One time she held up a $20 and asked if it was enough to get a gallon of milk. They've been divorced for like 25 years and she's still not totally grounded yet. She still seems to think that having 100k is barely having anything. It really does mess with their heads. --- https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCVle285bEgZ_D9otGewQwmw ^ My YouTube. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:970338910] in Oprah's re...

KaZooo 12/22/22 4:04:50 PM #18:	In all fairness, if this is your sick mom, a ~$200 gift idea isn't all that crazy. Oprah is probably legit surprised the person has that limited of a budget, not out to judge her.

Nemu 12/22/22 4:14:35 PM #21:	If youre asking for a gift advice, it should be expected that the budget is within normal gift range. If you cant even afford a small amount like $100, then you should probably be looking for something handcrafted or personalized. <cite>Nemu posted [p:970343300] in Oprah's re...
