Love it!
Always glad to see you when you come to the burgh. Your a special lady.
It’s always nice to get a handwritten thank you note! ❤️
That was really nice!! But very well-deserved!!
I love when people take the time to send cards, you are special
Luv you both. 🦋🦋
That's what friends do. Two awesome ladies. Have a great day. 🌞
You deserve it ⭐️
We Pittsburghers are pretty special‼️ lol but true
That was so nice of Heather.
Awesome!

Save the trees! 🌲 ... See MoreSee Less
Every single day at lest 4 . Then today at the polling place . I respectfully declined all.
It is ridiculous!!
Think of all the jobs it created.
I hear ya. I don’t think anyone looks at them. They just go into the trash. I’m with you, save the 🌳!!
Same here
And even sadder, it is NOT recyclable due to the chemicals used to make them. Millions of campaign dollars are being dumped in the landfields. Oh, how this money could be better spent instead of destroying the environment. Have you noticed there has been little to no talk about climate change? My heart goes out to the postmen/women who carry this junk to every household. I found my postman sittimg in his truck soaked, extremely exhausted and probably dehydrated.
The money they waste on those
Recycle.
I see a huge Christmas collage 😊 you got this !
Oh no! Horrible
Omg, that's so unreal. Shame on them all. 😮
I do the same.
Right into the recycle bin. Every single day.
They just want your endorsement, Dr. Lori.
Right there with you Dr. Lori!
I feel ya ! Can’t wait until this is over🙄🥴
It’s ridiculous! They could put all that money to good use like donating to the food bank. I don’t care if you send me 100 of those flyers I know who I’m voting for. 
I agree, it's been crazy this year!! I've been averaging 6-8 a day!! There ought to be a law, maybe we can contact our local representatives and insist on change, maybe if we all send them oversized postcards expressing our concerns and demanding accountability for this post(al) consumer waste material!!
I got tons of it as well, plus the text messages s🤨 I was getting at least four to five text messages a day for the past 3 weeks 😒 It is such a waste of paper. I hope the paper was recycled paper🤞
Garbage
It’s insane! Good thing you were gone and missed out on all of the people knocking on your door asking you to vote for their party. I need to put out a no trespassing sign/ no solicitation for 3 months every two years! I told the last one that showed up this is borderline harassment.
Wasted money that could help schools
I'd like to think that after today it would stop... but I fear it will just shift gears to the presidential election. What an absolute waste!

Funny thing about that vase. In decades past, people would probably have avoided it.
Saw this video last night 👍❤️
Is that a Murano?
You're looking good Dr. Lori ! ❤️
I have a vase that looks like this but it has a small gold label that says made in China.
Gorgeous vase!

Shopping Scores at Largest Goodwill with Dr. Lori #shopping #thrift ... See MoreSee Less
I have several clear glass and colored serving plates and relish dishes from the 50's that belonged to my Mom and I love them! They add so much character and beauty to the table, along with great memories.
Dr. Lori! 🩵🌺
Where can you sell it to get top dollar, ebay is not it.
Why do you wear gloves?
Does not matter what it’s worth problem is getting that amount
Dr. Lori, hi. Would you call that "Two-tiered serving dish" a 'petit four' server?
I’ve been there! You are in my neck of the woods sort of! I live down south from there.
I hate those stickers of the price they are the death of me Dr. Lori
I need that clear plate for my set.
Where is this one?
Why do you wear gloves?
GOOD JOB!!!++++++++++++++++
Prices at our local Goodwill are too high, and the CEO is making millions off of donated items. I shop at true thrift stores.
I have two of those shown.
Spode "Christmas Tree" pattern can have two different values. Pieces formerly produced in England are collectible and go for significantly higher prices than the newer ones, made in China. Look for the England marking on the back.
Good luck getting $90 for a random Noritake snack plate.
Prices on the 2 Cranberry Goodwill’s are ridiculous. M going to the Rochester one this week
