[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oprah has always bugged me.

Those flowers didn’t come from the local florist. She hired a high end florist who procures flowers from high end international vendors. That’s probably $10k worth of celebrity upcharged floral arrangements. A disgusting display of wealth. [/quote]
Your local florist isn’t exactly selling flowers grown in her backyard.  :lol: [/quote]

No duh, pp. I didn’t say that. RIF.

The difference is the tulips I buy at giant are shipped in bulk...that’s why they’re only $7.99 a bunch.

Celebrities like Oprah have high end florists who will actually rush import specialty items and charge thousands for the service.

I wouldn’t have an issue if Oprah used a normal florist, but her florist to the stars most certainly cost a small fortune. And that is a disgusting display of wealth.

Get it? [/quote]

So you’re better than Oprah bc you shop at Giant. You view your impact as smaller and not as important. Ok. Got it. Do you and keep that head held high. [/quote]

Never said I was better than Oprah.

Have you always struggled with reading comprehension?

I think the fact that she bragged about such obviously expensive flowers in such an obvious way is a gross display of wealth. IMHO, that makes her a jerk. YMMV.

Some people can interpret and comprehend what they read. Others need exact words and thoughts laid out in front of them like a child. You think you are better than Oprah bc you purchased $7 flowers from Giant. That’s is very clear. If you didn’t you wouldn’t be posting and waving your judgy finger.  You are not only bragging about those $7 flowers but also showing your ignorance about items from Giant and jealousy of her wealth. Carry on. [/quote]

I think the point is that prior posters defending Oprah by equating her flowers—in terms of cost and carbon footprint—to the flowers normal people buy is absurd. It’s not the same thing. And boasting about it on social media makes it worse. [/quote]

Why is it not the same thing? Bc you are doing it and view your impact as smaller? It’s still an impact. Especially if you are buying flowers weekly. [/quote]

Why can’t you understand the multiple posts about her gross display of wealth? Note: it has nothing to do with her carbon footprint. [/quote]

It's Oprah's money and if she wanted to treat her friend to some particularly beautiful tulips direct from Holland more power to her.  I just hate the jealousy on this thread.  It's beyond pathetic.

Go Oprah!  And Happy Birthday Gayle![/quote]

You call it jealousy, but I think it’s just believing such excessive displays of wealth is distasteful.

I think it’s interesting that Oprah’s defenders are likely the same dcumers who kvetch about regular folk who post harmless FB pics from vacations or send holiday cards with “a family ad.”[/quote]

Sweetie, you can think whatever you find interesting (you’re wrong as I don’t even have Facebook but I’m sure you do). It’s clearly jealousy, you want to be able to spend the money. You hate that she has the money. You call it flaunting when in reality it’s no different than the post you put on FB bragging about little Larla’s accomplishments or the family trip to Maui. If you were unbothered you wouldn’t be here pouting. [/quote]

Wrong.

Classy people would never waste money and they certainly wouldn’t brag about it. [/quote]

Clearly Oprah did not think that it was a waste of money and neither did Gayle who was extremely touched that her best friend thought to do that for her.  Good enough!

If Oprah sent you tulips from Holland I doubt that you would refuse to accept them so can feel free to get off your high horse at any time Ms. Classy.[/quote]
