Wardrobe picks for this week’s big show with Pittsburgh Today Live
I just want to jump in and tell you all how grateful I am for your comments and guidance. Thanks.
Beautiful
Dr. Lori, you look radiant!
Purple with the costume jewelry necklace. Love the pumpkin skirt with shoes/purse. You look very nice in red too but my vote for this is purple. 🙂
I love purple and it looks so good on you, my vote is for the purple sweater! 💜
Purple for sure!
Love the purple sweater with pumpkin skirt and suede accessories. I’m in Pittsburgh so I’ll be watching 😊
Purple, purple, purple!!!
I like them both but I think the purple sweater is a little more festive for the event. Even they're red is always great for an event. I think the purpose more appropriate for the turkey fund event. Can't wait to see what you choose!
I love the red. It's really your color, but I like the eggplant as a pleasant change
Looking good Dr. Lori
Both colors are nice, my preference is purple,but you look so beautiful in red. I say red for you.
All beautiful just like you ❤️
Love the purple against your skin tones!
I love the purple sweater!
Both are pretty but Red is your color !!!!
Either outfit is a great choice for you 💕
Red!
I love you in red.
I wish the red sweater had the costume jewelry neckline! You pop in red (look how good your color looks with the red) but the neckline of the purple sweater really adds a touch of glamour!
Purple
Purple!!!!!
The deep purple sweater is a YES! Love the details, and so pretty with the mustard skirt! 👍🏻
Purple sweater with pumpkin skirt. I have to say that pink color you’re wearing right now looks fantastic on you.
New YouTube video! I'm near Pittsburgh, PA at the Cranberry Twp Goodwill store. Found this piece, green glass, uppercase Pyrex and more. See the piece you should walkGoodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvaniavania @goodwillswpa

I’ve tried getting depression glass appraisals from different antique dealers through the years. They always say $12. Tops.
That looks like depression glass
Where's the best place to get an appraisal on an old painting signed in pencil near Pittsburgh
My mom had that dish.
I have that one. What is it worth?
These don't sell for much. 15 years ago, yes. Now, you can barely give it away.
Which one in Cranberry do you go to? I haven’t had much luck at either of them, but I have found a few things at the smaller one on 19
I have my moms ! Is it worth anything ? I love mine!
Dr. LORI - You'd have a field day in my house!!! I was born & raised in Corning NY - my Dad worked in the Corning Glass Works (yes, we got an employee discount!). That's where I got my love for Pyrex, Steuben crystal, & all pretty glass!
I have that piece and collect The Iris pattern. Both clear and amber❤️ Love Dr.Lori
I have nice pyrex pieces from that store.
What’s it worth?
I would have been there if I knew!
It's only worth what somebody's willing to pay for it.
Girl, I spent 40 years collecting depression glass & decorative glass from the depression era. I have many boxes of them. I just need to know where to unload my collection for the best prices. I'm originally from Western PA & know many glass factories in the area made the items I have.
I have one of those bowls, the exact same one. What is its value these days?
You should stop up at my stores in Andover Ohio, CommUnity Thrift of Andover and The Galleria of Andover. We would love to see you!
I live about 10 miles from there wish I could of met you
I have that same piece.
Where are you at? Would love to see you.
It doesn't look green to me.
I have a lot of vintage lead crystal pieces. Worthwhile or trash?
Oh My Goodness
Prices at Goodwill in Rochester PA are ridiculous.
Gobble, gobble, gone. Join the fun on Sept 18 with me and my friends on Pittsburgh Today Live to benefit the KDKA Turkey Fund. Pittsburgh Today Live
Please share this post to let others know about the Sept. 18 show.
Can't wait to see you here
That color pink is giving your complexion lots of love.
Looking forward to seeing you there 😊
I’ll do lunch but I don’t need any appraisal’s, do you like Squirrel?🐿️
Will there be a way to donate funds towards the project for those of us who live too far away? Let us know. And again you look amazing. 😊 just curious. Were you visiting family when you were in Singer Island? I live 10 minutes away from there.
My hometown!! Welcome back!
I would bid on you in a heartbeat!
We will be there!!!
Never Forget 9/11. They were too young. My heroes.
Dr. Lori, I was working for First Union bank in Allentown Pa. A gentleman called and said a plane hit the first tower. An hour later, we were sent home. It was a special day for me, my Mom's birthday. She passed away in 2005. Now it seems she was one of those lost. We will never forget 9/11/01 🙏
So sorry for your loss Dr. Lori. I'm sure those students learned so much from you and valued you as a professor and as the wonderful, caring person that you are. We will all never forget September 11, 2001. 🙏🏻🇺🇲
So sorry Dr Lori!
So sorry for your loss. We will always remember them ❤️
Never forgotten
So so sorry Dr Lori. That will never leave you. I was at home in San Diego and received a phone call to tell me to turn the TV on. My children and I watched the second plane hit. We had a few from San Diego that were killed that day. Sad day for America. 🇺🇸 praying for the families and for the loss we all had. It was a horrific day. 🙏❤️
I was in Orlando Fl working in the Orange County Public Schools Maintenance Office. I am lucky that I didn't lose anyone I knew. I'm so sorry that you did.
😔
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
Dr. Lori, how devastating. We were so broken. I'm sorry.
Oh God, I’m sorry.
Oh I am sorry to hear about those losses. It seems many people have a connection to someone we lost that day. Such a senseless tragedy….
So sorry
So sorry!
So sorry🥲🙏✝️🇺🇸
Sorrow for those who lost loved ones, friends, family members, acquaintances.
Sorry for your loss. Sad day for everyone
It was such a sad time for us all. My heart still aches for those who lost their lives that dreadful day. A day I shall never forget 🥹🥹🥹
Never forget 9/11. Artist Faith Ringgold gave me this artwork and a grant to support my art history research. She said, “Tell others what art is all about.” I do and I will.
Faith Ringgold…so many wonderful children’s books! I used to love to read them aloud to “my kids” when I was an elementary school teacher. ♥️
Faith Ringgold was an incredible author and artist. Her work is so memorable and wonderful. So happy that I was able to hear her speak years ago. Her books and their messages have been a great influence on children. Yes, we will always remember 9/11 as well we should.
Amen
This is wonderful.
Secret revealed. Thx to those who asked.
We all love seeing you on PTL. WAY TO GO.
You go, girl! We’re all here for you!
You’re looking Great. I’m on same journey. 70 lbs down!! 50 more to go. Protein increase really helped
You look fantastic
Congratulations! Losing weight has always been a battle with me. I tend to yoyo.😊
That's nice to hear an update and I am happy for you. I understand it I'm trying too.
You are looking so wonderful. Good for you. I gave up as much sugar products as possible about 1 year ago. I have Hershey & Russel Stoffer sugar free candy. I get a treat of softserve ice cream, every other week. I have lost 30 lb, in this year, slow but sure.
Good for you. I’m proud of you. I myself am on a journey.
I have been and always will be on my weight loss journey. I won’t venture a guess as to how much I have lost and gained over the years. I did Weight Watchers 7 times, had surgery, worked out at Curves and even became an instructor. I currently have kept 110pounds off out of the 120 I lost. But it’s time to do more to be more healthy! You are an inspiration!!!
You look wonderful! Keep up the good work! You are worth it! ❤️
You look fabulous. Ive lost 70 lbs but not from shots or pills so I understand your journey. Keep up the great work.
Dr. Lori, you're an inspiration to others in so many ways! Keep up the great work! We love you❣❣❣
Way to go!
Thank you for that update because I actually was getting very worried over time. So now that I know...You look great! I truly mean great! Best wishes for continued success on this journey. I know it isn't easy.
Keep going! 🎉
Thankful that you are well .
Good for you Dr. Lori you go girl I will see you at the turkey fund hope to get a photo with you 💯
Keep up the good work on your weight loss journey.
You look wonderful
Dr Lori - Congratulations to you!! You are looking really good 👍🏼 and you are losing weight in the best way possible, plus doing things to make yourself healthy and increase your muscle tone and movements, which are critical for health and longevity!! Very proud of you, and of myself, for I am also doing these things too (just not the swimming for now)! You go, girl and keep up the good work! 🤗
Keep up the good work!
You look great. Keep it up.
Congratulations on your weight loss.
