Oprah Winfrey Sued By Poet For Over 1 Trillion
According to The Straits Times, talk show host Oprah Winfrey is being sued by a poet for a staggering 1 trillion dollars.
Poet Damon Lloyd Goffe accuses Winfrey of plagiarizing his book A Tome of Poetry in a work she published on the internet titled Pieces of my Soul. Goffe even alleges that Winfrey confessed to “seizing original works of authorship” back in 2008.
Though the website featuring the alleged work of Goffe was taken down Goffe, understandably, still wants to be compensated for the 650 million copies that were sold for $24.00/each. Reports say that if this is taken to court and proven to be true Winfrey will owe Goffe $1.4 trillion dollars.
I feel bad for Mr. Goffe, as a writer myself I know how easily our work can be stolen and profited off of, but in all honesty, if the accusations are true, could this have been the greatest thing to ever happen to Mr. Goffe?

Wow. I hope Oprah is ashamed of herself if true.

Life & Beauty Weekly: Expert Q+A
A: "This sort of kindness is rare, so it’s natural you’d want to reciprocate. But if you have offered to repay (or treat) her and she resists, there’s no need to insist on giving her money.
Also try not to feel bad that she always pays. Coffee isn’t a big expense, and it sounds like she enjoys treating you. She may do it because she appreciates your friendship or support at work. Or perhaps she likes having an excuse to get out of the office and doesn’t mind shelling out a few extra dollars for you. Regardless, just thank her each time she pays. Then, every once in a while, surprise her with a tin of cookies or muffins. Or once a month or so, tell her you are taking her out for lunch. "

Men’s Life Today: Expert Q+A
A: "There’s no easy answer as to why you get them. Ingrown hairs are more noticeable in men with really thick hair -- as ingrown hairs are more prevalent in people with thick hair -- or dark hair with light skin. However, there are a couple of key things you can do to heal them and prevent future outbreaks.
First of all, it helps to understand the evolution of an ingrown hair: After hair removal, as the hair starts growing back, the sharp tip of the hair curls back in on itself and digs into the skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. If you do get one, remember this mantra: Put down the tweezers. Plucking ingrown hairs invariably fails and causes additional irritation. Instead, try applying an over-the-counter cortisone cream to help relieve inflammation, then head to a laser dermatologist for laser hair removal (no, not removal of all your hair -- just the problem ones). Realistically, laser’s the only long-term solution for ingrown hairs.
Electrolysis isn’t practical because of the number and thickness of hairs involved. And as for waxing, well, remember the 40-year-old Virgin? Enough said."
