    Am I being snarky? Addressing complaints I get. ... See MoreSee Less

    Comment on Facebook

    🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 was it good?

    Of course you can be snarky. It's your personality. Be you! I appreciate your ability to speak appropriately as well. Not a lot of um...um...of the stuttering done on the consistent ramblings of politics on the news channels. However....you do over use the two most over used space takers that we can all do without. It's "With that being said" and "If you will". But I love you anyway and no I'm not going to scroll on by. I like your videos too much. I do miss your Dr Lori Live. Please bring them back. 🫤

    They don’t like it . They can scroll on by!!!!

    This is what I love about you! ❤️ (In addition to your vast knowledge and willingness to share even to ungrateful people!)

    People complain about everything. Be you.

    LMAO!!!! What's wrong with people, anyhow? It's your way of connecting or staying connected. Sort of a marketing strategy, I suppose. Keep on keeping on, Dr. Lori!

    I love reading your post. If someone complains, tell them just scroll on down. Seriously, people are so unhappy these days. Keep posting what you post Dr. Lori, you keep life real.

    There will always be people who will try and rain on your parade. It’s because they are jealous. Snd feel the need to try and make you feel bad. They cover up their own inadequacy’s that way. Don’t let it get under your skin! I love seeing peoples foods and things they love. I try new foods when I see these things. Otherwise I get in a food hole and just eat the same things. I ate the same exact thing for breakfast every morning for two years. So inspire me!!!

    People can move on! I like your snappy, snarky wit! You aren't being mean! People who are not happy and insecure in themselves attack and undermine those who are confident and successful.

    It's your Facebook page. I don't remember being charged to follow you here. I bet they weren't either. Put whatever you want to put out there. I guess some people can't handle a little peek behind the curtain. I like the fact that you share your day-to-day, your travels and opinions. If you didn't, you would seem less trustworthy. I also enjoy a little snarkiness now and then.

    Don't change a thing! Your passion shines through, and I love seeing what you're making!

    Omg! I can’t love this enough! Who would complain about what you post? Your posts are very interesting!

    Some people are just professional complainers 🤣 I love every thing you post . If I find something I'm not interested in I can scroll on by. 😁🥰

    quit letting them pull your chain. Some people are negative about everything. I enjoy every post you make.

    You're wonderful! ❤️ I'm sorry you have to get those comments. Loved your hilarious response!!! 🤣

    If people are complaining, it's because you are successful.....and they are not.

    Gosh, people will complain about anything. Too much time on their hands. SMH

    Love you! You’re so funny! Ignore those snarky comments— they probably don’t have a sense of humor.

    If people don't like it, they should illustrate keep scrolling. Your earrings look great with your sweater.

    Oh my goodness! You can't please people sometimes. Love your earrings!

    I love hearing all about your life, where you go, what you eat, everything. It makes you extra real

    I love your refreshingly honest personality!

    Just don’t change because I love you and your photos and videos!! They’re the problem not you!! By the way I love it when you get seafood in New England, I get very jealous 😂

    People just like to bitch I say ignore it

    I am offended! You didn't offer me any fudge sundae!! 😂

    Do you like this video? Even if you don't like it …. share it! 🙂 More shares means more video views which helps me make more videos for you that you like!

    Is there an engagement ring under that glove?

    Just curious...why do you wear gloves at a Thrift store?

    Do you buy a lot of things Dr. Lori? If so, where do you keep everything?

    Is it Royal Doulton?

    Is it Royal Alberts , Old Country Roses? I don’t believe it is 🤔Maybe a variant ?

    Dr. Lori I buy a lot of glass items but yet no one is buying it! You say that many people are buying glass and then there is the beanie bear video on king of collectibles and I have tried to sell my beanies and not going anywhere! Would it be best to go through an auction place with someone like king of collectibles?

    That's our China pattern.

    Hey Dr. Lori! Today is national dessert day. Just letting you know. I haven't decided just yet what I want to devour today (It's only 10:23am) haha. Enjoy your day! Chilly in Greensburg, PA this morning.

    I’d grab it…don’t know if it’s an antique but I love the print on it.

    I absolutely love the look on your face that expression made by day LOL

    I love all of your videos.

    Just watched! Loved the last lamp!!!!

    Yeah! I'll look for it! Been watching the old appraisal "shows" - it's amazing the things some people bring to you.

    I know you LOVE fish plates. Saw these and thought of you.

    Grab it.

    UTube costs money even on my phone so I guess I will not be able to keep up and do it goes money money must be funny in your rich person's world.

    It was true that she immediately knew “her dress” once she saw it.

    I love the lace! they are all quite beautiful though.

    For those who don't know, Most wedding dresses get altered. The lace has a beige lining under it.

    All beautiful but I ❤ 2

    She will be a beautiful bride! My favorite is #2. I’m so glad you were a part of this special & fun day!

    All are beautiful on her, but my fave is #2.

    Congratulation! I'm sure it was fun and emotional. I'm glad she found her dress. I'm glad you got to witness it, and advise. ❤️

    First one....the lacework is gorgeous! Stunning! 💕

    All are gorgeous. Beautiful figure on your goddaughter. God bless her and her upcoming nuptials. Any of these...❤️

    All are beautiful but I think the third one is perfect

    #3 is my choice. Clean and classy. Less is always more.

    They’re all Gorgeous‼️‼️ A win with whichever she chooses! I may lean a little towards the Lace‼️🥰💖

    Congratulations goddaughter! They’re all stunning, truly gorgeous gowns. 1 flatters her figure best and is romantic 2 is classic elegance 3 that bodice is beautiful, the gown also elegant

    All are just stunning. #3 is my favorite. It is very elegant and sophisticated

    I like 2 with the poufy skirt. She’s gorgeous.. she’d be lovely in any of them.. congrats! 🎈🎊🍾

    I love #2- all are beautiful!

    They're all so completely different it's hard to choose. I ❤ them all. Whichever one she decides on she'll look beautiful....Here comes the Bride!

    I’m sure whichever she said yes to she will be lovely in it.

    My daughter when she was shopping she tried 2 wedding gowns on and the 2nd one she said mom this is it. I said yes it is. Congrats Dr. Lori.

    The upper right picture is my favorite because it makes the most of her lovely figure.

    Love them all, but I love #1, so elegant!!!

    1 or 2 they are both beautiful.

    So glad that I wore my mom’s wedding gown from the 1950s so I didn’t have to worry about all of these decisions! They are all beautiful and all have a different vibe. Have fun and congratulations to all of you!!!!!

    My fave is #2 - gorgeous and simply elegant.

    #2 beautiful!

    OMG so many #wedding gowns. Time to accessorize with #jewelry and #shoes and a pretty pink cocktail. ... See MoreSee Less

    She was thinking about #pearls —at least she knows who to ask for advice! Me! Vids on how to find valuable pearls on my YT channel.

    Pearls would be great! You got me with the shoes, too. Lovely.

    What a great day! I know you were honored to be asked to be with her when she picked her perfect dress

    Is this for you? Hooray.

    Did she say yes to a dress?

    Pearls are an awesome wedding gift and she would cherish forever. Our daughter got married and I gifted her my mother‘s pearls.

    I saw in one feed her Goddaughter was getting married?

    The pearls are beautiful.

    Happy shopping! What a joyous time for you!😊

    I agree with pearls, I have my mothers wedding pearls and love them, so classic!

    I say, wear vintage jewelry, (maybe something borrowed) and blue shoes! Just a thought…

    Diamonds are a gal’s best friend.

    It all looks like a great time.

    A day she'll never forget. Yesterday was 49 years for me and I looked at the box holding my dress on a shelf in the closet and an entire video played in my mind. Memories! Re. Pearls, look for quality, weight - sometimes individually tied, not always, no seams, quality of clasp. How'd I do?

    Hope your day was as Fun as it looks💝👑🌟

    I did not hear the announcement Dr Lori. 😃

    Classic is my option… each to his own… happy wedding shopping

    Hope you went for the veil. And the accessories look amazing! Looking forward to seeing your journey to the big day 🥂💐

    How fun!

    Sometimes. Less is more.

    I'm going dress shopping next week in Newton with my daughter! ❤️

    You're gettin hitched?!?! Hooray! I've been married for 25 years, it's amazing ❤️

    On the #treasure hunt for the perfect #weddingdress Help! Veil or no veil? #boston ... See MoreSee Less

    Comment on Facebook

    Is this for you? Have you been married before? If both of these are yes then I would not do aa traditional veil I would do one that only gathers at the back of your head in a hair do.

    I vote for a veil. Personally, I’m partial to those that don’t overwhelm the dress. More like an accessory for the bride’s hair. Have fun!

    Wait, what?! You're getting Married?! I'm so happy for you Mazel Tov!

    Yes get the veil ! Get the dress and shoes. Now let us See the ring Dr Lori.

    Veil, yes. Did your niece find a dress?❤

    How exciting! I vote Veil for the wedding. Remove for the party and wear a decorated clip/Barrett <3 you will know It when you see it. Congratulations!

    You'll know when you put it on. You'll feel it. But someone mentioned a fascinator and that totally gets my vote. Now, is this the best kept secret or what?!

    I picture you with a antique crown. You will know when it was made and what its worth. You are too stunning to cover that face with a veil! Enjoy the journey!

    All depends on dress..congratulations and best wishes.

    I love to see a veil on a young woman during the church service. It’s very sweet. Other than that, I guess it depends on the tradition of the bride and groom. I wonder if you’re having a bit of fun with us or maybe you have a secret?

    Are u getting married Dr Lori? Will there be a Mister Dr Lori (or Mrs Dr Lori)?

    Formal or casual wedding? Traditional or modern? Church or other venue?

    I thought you were up to something!!! You've been a bit quite

    I hear a new YouTube coming Does Dr Lori say "Hail to the Veil or just yes to the Dress"??

    Getting married?,

    Your getting married!! This is wonderful ❤️. Are you going to invite all your fans to your wedding?

    I always wanted a traditional elegant black and white with red accent for me wedding. I ended up with a Walmart dress at my brother in laws house. I’m so happy you all are blessed to do it right

    Wait.. you’re getting married?! 😍Congrats! 🥳🎉🎈🍾I like a veil but enjoy either way 😉 💕

    Veil and a long train. Dramatic entrance then down the aisle. At the alter veil up. Truly a dramatic reveal

    Congratulations!

    If that’s the veil, absolutely! It’s gorgeous!

    The veil is needed it symbolizes purity and innocence or you can use it for the protecting from evil spirits if ya want to do the whole Roman empire or....Greeks? Not to sure which culture believed that. At the end of the day it's the lucky ladies decision and as long as her day is perfect for her that's all that matters veil or no.

    How fun … you’ll make the right choice you always do

    Congratulations !! Veil! ❤️🥂

    Veil or no veil is the question. 🙋🏼‍♀️ The answer, veil!

    Practicing what you preach: reselling! Thanks to you, my husband and I have made quite a bit of $$$. Have a fantastic weekend and a great time dress shopping!

    Such a tease...Lol. p.s. weight loss is showing!

    Do you have a wedding date?

    Hmmmm. Where did Dr. Lori say the wedding dress is for her? She's from Connecticut..

    Well Dr. Lori , we started peeling , coring, and cutting up apples into tiny pieces this morning for apple butter today. They will be in several ,maybe more copper kettles and cooked over wood fires possibly all night. Then put into jars and sealed. We sell them in pints and quarts. Yearly Church project.

    Packing for my upcoming trip to Ct

    Nothing fun on our agenda. A yard sale on Saturday, preparing to put our house on the market. Sorting, donating, selling, packing. Ugh!

    Sounds like fun. I intend to photograph stuff I just had a video chat with you about this week. That way I can put it up places. Also painting a big gourde trinket box and sewing on a holiday quilt.

    We are in Cape May, NJ. And meeting friends for a long weekend.

    Last weekend, my Grandson's wedding, still recovering. This weekend Sip n Shop bus trip with my daughter-in-law, groom's mother, like a daughter to me. I'm one lucky Gma.

    Great Smoky Mountains

    Driving to Austin TX for a wedding.

    In Florida we are waiting for power to be restored!

    Getting married! Dont do it! Hahaha I think it's for your goddaughter. Remind her she will wear the dress only for a few hours. Must be special to her, yes, but not rediculous $. After 49 years, I still have mine. Part of me might fit in it! Too special to toss so preserved it will remain. Have fun!

    Outdoor movie theatre- Grease- and meeting Lorenzo Lamas!!!

    Dr. Lori I bet you have acquired a lot of frequent flyers miles over the years.

    LOVE Boston! Have fun! Sadly, I have to bring in 30 potted plants! Frost is coming! On a happier note, I am packing for a San Francisco getaway next weekend! Yay! 😘

    Working the Pitt game Saturday and playing disc golf on Sunday. Have a great weekend!

    Baking bread, cooking and watching my grandsons college hockey game on U Tube.

    Hope you find the dress that is meant to be yours this weekend ❣️

    I hope you have a great time with your niece. My plans aren't nearly as fun. I'm sorting and decluttering. Heading out now with a load for the thrift shop drop off.

    Working this weekend. That is a beautiful picture of you.

    Your hair looks great. Have fun

    Enjoy your shopping trip! Wedding dress shopping with your god daughter will be great.

    Enjoy your weekend Dr Lori and good luck shopping for wedding dress ! Lots of great restaurants and many historical sites to visit if you have time.
