Buy Me!

If you run a business, getting the Oprah Seal of Approval can mean you hit the jackpot.  People go crazy and buy whatever she says, and sometimes I don’t understand how a regular person can spend money like Oprah can spend money.  Oprah can spend a lot of money–she earns a lot.  Me?  Not so [...]
