AI missed again. I asked AI to make me a Barbie doll based on the photo of me at sea (wait to see the original photo). Doesn’t look like me at all! Who’s she? #shopping #travel #ai #barbie ... See MoreSee Less
I definitely see the resemblance🥰
She looks more like Katie Holmes 😂
Same hair and a smile…claim it!
You have been Barbie-fied. Would be interesting to do different dolls; American Girl, Madame Alexander, Cabbage Patch, Suzy Sad Eyes, Mrs. Beasley.....
Yes, and then she woke up!
AI girl with a big head! You don't have a big head!
She needs white gloves and a loop
Well it got your cuteness
I did one with different settings and it wasn't me either. Lol
Who dat? 🤣
We need to see you as a cabbage patch
Lol... Well, it is AI.
Looks nothing like you
💪🇺🇸🌎
Way off!
AI is so overhyped.
AI is stupid! Not intelligent 🤦🏻♀️

Even my plushie lost weight. Is the chubby one cuter? ... See MoreSee Less
Not cuter, but somehow in the new one your eyes got huge! 👀
Dogs like bones men like curves.
The fluffier one!!! We don’t say chubby!!! lol. 😂 🤣🤣
Better makeup too...
Remember that beauty is not the outward appearance! It comes from the heart! Got sees what is within!
You look great either way…. At the same time if you’re vision yourself in a different way go with the way you envision.😊 My opinion, go for the newer version
I like the second one! You have big eyes, the netter to see you with my dear! Just like little red riding hood 😍
Thinner one is nicer.
I don't know about those animals eyes... on another note, did you see the Swatch watch craze the other day? Thought about you and your collection.
The healthy one.
They are both cute! The first one looks more like you in the face and hair.
They’re both cute! Very cool!
Both Dr. Lori's are beautiful....onward and forward always
You're both adorable
That’s pretty cute.
Both are very cute!
Sooooooo cute 🥰
Love it Love it and you! 😂👊🏻❤️
They both are cute
That’s so cute! ❤️. Both are perfect. They remind you of the wonderful journey you are on and reminds all of us what we could accomplish. Keep doing it Dr. Lori!
These are so cute !! You look great lady !
Both are darling!!
So cute!!

You a fabulous women, my dream is to meet you someday
I’m a Capricorn. I receive it!!! It’s time!!!

I’m a Leo and they say Im going to have a huge influx of money and all good things! I’m ready!

Everyone will be experiencing it. It happens with within yourself.
Never wanted children. Woke this morning at 3 am with a dream. A dream that someone wanted me and my husband to adopt him child because she couldn't do it. I'm in tears because we didn't do it earlier on life. Did something change? I don't know but I've never wanted this. The tears won't stop. Is this a midlife crisis?
Dr Lori Dr Lori!! Ashley Reese and I have your cosmic Shift! My entire life just changed 3 months ago.. You won’t believe it! But let me tell you anyway! 😂 My chiropractor showed me this Stem Cell technology.. Man! My pain is mostly gone systemically.. My production went up over 100% since my heart surgery.. I’m sleeping finally and dreaming.. we know you’re dealing with some things obviously and would love to talk.. if you even see this.. lol. Reach out k. Big Hugz. AJNAshley
May you have a wonderful holiday and don't forget to update us on "your" shift.😁
I think you should refer to those glasses as your Sally Jesse Raphael’s.
I am a Capricorn Jan 15. Lord knows I need a cosmic shift in the right direction. Trying to get my house closing to take place this Friday may 29 🙏🙏🤞🤞
Pluto discovered by Tom from Streator Illinois.
December 1965 Capricorn. What does this mean,?
Not so much I'm a Scorpio 😀😃
My hubby is a Capricorn who is currently suffering from severe back pain and he needs some definite shifting in his condition! Tylenol, Tylenol Cream, Gabapentin! He’s had prior back surgery in 2018 and a ViaDisc procedure to replace vertebra material that lasts anywhere from 5 to 10 years and it’s been about 7 years. His pain mgmt gave him options since the epidurals are not as effective as they were and he’s currently undergoing acupuncture for the first time. He’s 86 and I’m hoping it’s the ViaDisc that needs to be redone as it’s done by injection of material into the vertebra. ❤️🥰❤️
I'm a Capricorn and I worked seven straight days this week and I'm off tomorrow. I hope it's my good day
I am a Capricorn! We'll see!
I'm a Capricorn Jan.18th. I'd love to see this shift. I'm going to read.
Not so much at this time.
Dr. Lori, Sure...Right after you provide them a credit card number. Most true clairvoyants do not charge people money.
We are in the 5th dimension and the shift has already started 🤗 That is why everything about the planet is shifting! Everything is changing to a new order 🥰
I'm a Capricorn. I could use a cosmic shift.
I am a Virgo, a psychic medium told me I need to know my rising sign which is the exact time of day you were born and where. Apparently, your rising sign is important to know, LOL.
I am a twin, so I am very skeptical about astrology. Theoretically, my twin and I should experience the same things all the time and have the same personality traits, but it isn't so.

I appraise antiques (anything more than 100 years old) so this 110 year old snapping turtle was deemed priceless. Why this pic today? It’s world turtle day! #turtle #value ... See MoreSee Less
That snapping turtle could bite your arm off!
Dr. Lori, though it is a sweet little turtle. You look as though it is giving you the 'heebie-jeebies'.
I have to be honest that wasn't the first thing I thought of when I saw this photo. 😬
I have a turtle spitoon.
Here's a video I took of a turtle digging a nest to lay eggs in a few days ago! www.facebook.com/share/r/1cBvcYdoTk/
What’s this one worth that just knocked on the patio door?

That stupid annual thing. I have to watch my cholesterol and my sugars. I'm almost 65
Pretty in pink.
You look great. Have a wonderful weekend.
Amen 🙏
Hope all is well! By the way, you look great!
Hope your checkup comes out fantastic. Well, you look marvelous I must say. Have a very happy weekend and thank you for all that you do❤️
Your so awesome, and yes, got my annual check up.
Always have your bloodwork done before seeing the Dr. so she or he knows what's going on and tell you the results. Hope your all good 👍
This is a great color on you
I have needle phobia too. Yet nowadays. The needles are so small, it is the anticipation of the metal piercing one's flesh that is the most bothersome.
You look wonderful in this pink!!!!!!!
The older we get the more important it is to keep up with our health issues. I agree I also like to group appointments. Hope all turns out well for you.
O boy how fun!! Lol
That's exactly what I do everything in a week!
You are literally looking in the"pink" of health. Great looking by the way. Went for my annual in May. Healthy and aging pretty healthy for 79 years. Laughter is the key. It's good to hear from you. I don't always remember to check this machine, but. I'm happy when I find you.
Here’s to an A+ checkup👍
I'm having more fun than you. I'm flying to San Francisco to spend the long weekend with my son. Celebrating a late mother's day and early birthday.
👍👍☺️🇺🇸🌎
Did mine, Dr Lori. EKG too, blood work. Good luck! Somehow my BP was down - how, who knows?
Molly is correct... You look wonderful in that shade of bright pink! And I always stay current with doctor visits. Healthy and active at 78.
Let us know the outcome
Thanks for the reminder. I've been procrastinating. Geez, and pink is a reminder the girls need to be smashed.
You look so pretty in that pink!
Good luck! Just had mine. Oh JOY!!! Getting old is not for sissies!
I just did.

I don’t care how much they cost in this crazy world of ultra-expensive produce. They are worth every penny. They say summer to me. #strawberries🍓 ... See MoreSee Less
Organic or not?
I paid 25 dollars for 3 gallons of strawberries. The pie I made was scrumptious and well worth the money 🥧
Hmmmm, did you buy those in PA? Our strawberries haven't looked like that in years!
Especially farm grown
Strawberries=Summer! 🍓 You are so right, Dr Lori!
They look like North Carolina strawberries. I like the smaller PA ones.
Yum
Nothing compares to local, freshly picked strawberries!
And they're not in season long..
I love strawberries 🍓

After I went for my swim, this happened…all in the pursuit of lettuce! #shopping #MemorialDay #MonthofMay ... See MoreSee Less
I called corporate headquarters. The person on the phone listened, apologized and when that didn’t satisfy me he escalated the situation to a supervisor who was supposed to return my call but did not as of yet. That was last Thursday. I wrote an email to corporate customer service and got an auto reply. I’ll let you know if they respond.
No.
That just CRAZY
Sometimes you just have too set things straight!
Shop small grocery stores..local
Bravo to you!!!! I hope you left your groceries there for them to put them back!! Grrr.
Good for you !!!
It's an idiot store and a contract breaker. Headquarters is not going to stick with that because of the breach of contract it would be a hell of a class action City people decided to fight in the meantime right to headquarters or call headquarters and complaint they should give you some kind of a break in the next year to make up for the idioc I'm sorry I don't belong to it but that's what I do
I definitely would have left my cart full and walked out. I am tried of how big businesses treat people.
I bet it's sams club
That’s so lame. I don’t pay to shop. Not anywhere.
YES! Call corporate. Sometimes there’s just a moral reason to fight only for what’s “right.”
Looking great is just the beginning, you're unstoppable!
I would probably been so angry I would have thrown all the groceries on the floor and gone to see the manager and cancelled my card! You are too nice!
Usually big box corporate complaints actually go back to the store manager....so the lazy butts above have nothing to do Working for a big box store they sit on their fanny making big buck$ while the ones working their butts off make barely enough money to make ends meet.
Not only are you nice but you have a whole lot of patience . I could not have put up with this for an hour !
I'm surprised they didn't send you a new card ahead of expiration date.....at least a month....
That's so infuriating!
Companies sucking every dime every which way they can. Capitalism sucks
I never shop Sam's. Or Walmart for that matter, anymore. They use facial recognition and monitor your mood. The invade your phone (I don't have a cellular) with ads and now have the power to change prices at peak hours. Or any time for that matter. I know I know, even Kroger has the digital price tags but that just gives me more initiative to shop local. But I'm rambling... You are on the road a lot and pretty much have to shop these stores. Costco is much better and their meat department ranks up there in the top 5.
Agreed! I wondered if thats the reason my big box store club, starts asking you 2 months in advance to renew. I never do, I wait. Now I am def going to wait.
That’s ridiculous… so did you leave the stuff for them to put away? 😁 I think I would’ve. And how many other people are having the same experience with them? 😳
I’d dump that company. It’s insane what companies are getting away with. I had X-rays of my bilateral hands, Left Hip, and Pelvis done at Jefferson Hospital in NE Philly back in March 2026. I’ve had X-rays of all those areas in the past. No Comparisons were done. Without comparisons my Rheumatologist and pain management doctors have no way of knowing if my arthritis and joint narrowing got worse etc. I’m a retired MRI Technologist and when I was a student in radiology I had to hang the films for the radiologist to read. We ALWAYS had to hang the last prior study for comparison. I wrote to Jefferson and I found out that X-Rays are not even read by Radiologist anymore. They are read by non radiologist clinicians. This is unbelievable! How the hell can you NOT have Radiologist reading X-Rays? It’s unbelievable how even healthcare is going down the toilet.
Sounds like false advertisement . Good job for staying sane. That's all I'm gonna say.
Dr. Lori, It can't happen to The Nicest person!. Oh Yes it can. Someone used my cellphone number in order to get a Stop & Shop grocery store card, a few years ago. Unbelievable. And I found out the person whom used my phone number lived in the next town from where I live.
