Hi Bonnie,
I don't normally write to anybodies show, but you're special.
I just want you to know that I love you and all your shows.
You're a funny, very gifted, and a very real woman. You're very attractive too. (If you don't believe me, you can ask my boyfriend of 7 years Dec. 16th.) He says that when I put my reading glasses on, I resemble you alot. (It's a compliment, because I guess I'm kind of cute.)
I respect you and all you do, especially the Breast Cancer fund raising that you did. My sister-in-law, recently found out that she has breast cancer, so those shows hit home.
Thank you for making me smile everyday.

Hi Bonnie,

I have been enjoying your show from the get-go. I loved seeing Jack LaLanne today as I can remember working out with him. I also love to watch the credits as my brother and his wife are in their seventies and their name is Bob & Alice
Walsh. So I really get a kick out of the ending.
Having a dog myself I love anything with animals and I know you are a good person just by seeing you with your dog. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and may your show stay on forever. It's a bright spot in these difficult days.

Okay Bonnie...You're so great. I don't think there's anything wrong with a little flirtation. From viewer's comments, it's not cool to be a prude and it's not cool to be too loose. Let them eat cake....or get their own show HA.
Where's your pretty flower coffee cup? A lot of people wanted that cup. Why didn't you put it in the basement?? We all want to know where'd the cup go????

I was sooooo concerned on Monday, when I tuned in your show and saw a rerun! I thought maybe you had been cancelled already. What a relief to find out it was only because of the Thanksgiving weekend. Where can I send an article to you from the Chicago Tribune,that you will probably get a "kick" out of? Eileen May

Hi Bonnie,
I would like to email you about the clothing chosen for you by your stylists.
I think you are gorgeous and a wonderful host and an amazing actress (Jerry Maguire, Cheaper By The Dozen etc.) so I feel hesitant writing this to you since I adore you, but since you questioned what you were wearing on your show today on Dec 5, 2006, I hope you don't mind. You were right, that shirt was horrible. And to be honest, almost all of your prior outfits are too. You have a great figure and a bubbly, witty, warm personality and a funny, cutting edge, dry humor. But your clothing doesn't reflect that. Your clothes look like something an elderly lady in a nursing home would wear. You mentioned today you would wear a winter white or black suit. And I agree. I'm sure your stylists are nice but they aren't a right fit for you. It's a stark contrast from watching the Ellen Show which comes on just before yours and see her dress in a way that is relevant, edgy, smart and fashionable and fits her to a "T" and then to watch your show, where your clothes have unattractive patterns and swallow you up and hide your figure. I used to work in upscale fashion and I would LOVE to dress you (even for one day) just so you can see how amazing you can look. If I were your stylist, I would say that you should not wear anything that doesn't make you feel absolutely 100% gorgeous, sexy, smart and fun and I'd also throw in a retro vibe but with a modern twist, since that is the feeling of your set and style. I would strongly suggest that you go with your instincts and wear clothes that suit the uniqueness of your personality. There's no other host or show like yours and you should really emphasize the coolness of that. For example, I would suggest you wear classy, tight fitting low-rise trousers with high heel pointy shoes and tight fitting "little" blazers with longer t-shirts etc. layered underneath, peeking out near your hip. And again, since your show has a retro feel, I would always suggest you throw in something retro to your outfit to tie yourself to your theme and set. For example, an antique brooche on your blazer or a cool scarf. I'd also suggest you try playing around with your hair too for different looks, ie. try maybe wearing it up with a cool thin headband and a messy ponytail or a really sculpted retro chignon. So again, I hope this email doesn't make you feel bad, but I saw how you dressed in one episode where I think you were in Sam's Club and you wore a red vest with jeans (if I recollect correctly), and you looked like "YOU" and I thought, "Oh, so she really does have great fashion sense and she DOES have an awesome figure." You also showed a picture of you on today's show out with your sister Mary and you looked great in that photo too. So again, I would LOVE to dress you for a day, or if that's not possible, please find a stylist that really makes you feel like "YOU" as you are absolutely beautiful. Best wishes!

Dear Bonnie,

Regarding your Green method of ridding yourself of those loud crickets, try hedge apples. They work really good for spiders too. We live in the country, and every fall our home is invaded by very large spiders. My husband always sprayed to prevent these until our daughter-in-law gave us some hedge apples. He threw them under our house, and placed them in the garage. No more spiders or crickets. Please let me know if this works for you.

We love your show. We loved your nighttime sitcom too. We loved the Christmas show when the kids were in the play, and brought baby Jesus a gift of Frankenstine. Too funny. So glad you are back on TV.

Sincerely,

Barb Rike

Stop picking on Bonnie on how she speaks.

She is as real as they come.

You don't need to send her any book on speaking ..

Stop nit-picking NOBODY is PERFECT

Leave her alone..

Bonnie, You have more personality, more sparkling and enjoyable, than any 10 show business figures I've seen in my 76 yrs., and I enjoy watching you and listening to you talk; you have a very pleasant voice. But your grammar is atrocious! May I send you my "Rx To Improved English? " I want nothing, no recognition, no money, no anything! I simply want you to have the small book for your own use. I wrote it exclusively for people with your grammatical short comings. It is a small, simple book. You will enjoy it, and it will eliminate that "defective education" response which is automatically evoked by listeners as soon as you begin to speak.

Yours truly,

Sino Chika

Bonnie, Forgot to say something about that adorable video about the dogs. So sweet!!!!

Hi,
Although I love the show, I must say I was disappointed in the Hillary Clinton comments made by Bonnie's Mom, Alice(earlier this week). It's that attitude that kept George Bush in office for 8 years and ran this country into a recession. When will people judge politicians on their record and intelligence rather than on whether they "like" them or not? It's embarrassing. And please don't reply with ,'well, we voted for Barack Obama...'.
I realize that Alice has her opinions but on a show like Bonnie's, this kind of somewhat ignorant comment should have been cut from the segment. I know I'm ranting but for some reason that comment bothered me and came across as stupidly inappropriate.

Hi Bonnie, I just love your show, and especially love you, I can relate so much to you, you are like haveing a great friend over every morning to trade stories with, Your Mom is a Sweetheart, and so down to earth, and really funnny, that is because she is so honest and tells things as they are, how lucky to have your mom to share your life with.. God Bless Dolores

Bonnie, so sorry about your voice although you didn't sound so bad.
Great show as always. So glad to have a talk show host that doesn't argue with each other.
Love to your mom, and all the cast of your show
Mary Russell, Ohio

I just have to say I think you're adorable Bonnie, I love you in everything I've seen you in. You seem like "real people" , keep up the awesome job on the show!

Bonnie.. I LOVE your show.. The diversity of guests is refreshing.. BUT.. I love Ask Alice as it reminds all of us that Family is our Foundation.

Keep us laughing and loving!!

Mary in Sarry

Bonnie,

Of course I enjoy your show everyday, but being Irish and yes from Chicago, I REALLY enjoyed your
entertainment "The Celtic Woman", I love them also.They were just on.

Hello from Pisgah Forest, NC:)
I am very sorry to hear that you are sick and wish you a speedy recovery:):):)
You just showed the puppy clip-very heart warming. That is what made me write this little note. I have just published my first book inspired by a Beagle puppy who wandered into our life about year and a half ago. The story is told by an abandoned puppy who had to learn the good, the bad, and the indifferent really quickly in his short life. The story is a recollection of our relationship as it happened. The puppy is trying to let children know that for every action on our/human part there is a consequence. But he also tells the children to look for the good around them because it's there you just have to stop and see it. Makes life worth living. The Beagle's name is Keeper and the book's title is A Beagle's Tale. It was published by Author's House. I did my research and had a proof readers before I decided, based on the feedback I received, to publish it. I am waiting for my first book shipment, maybe today, and so are local stores and libraries. I wonder if you would be interested to hear more about the book. In today's world books maybe good and affordable Christmas gifts bringing the children back to basics... Read, imagine and interpret for yourself. This is how we raised our two daughters since we started our lives in the wonderful USA in 1982. Please let me know that you have actually read this. I love your show. You are like a neighbor stopping by every morning. Have a great day and... speedy recovery again:)
