Do you miss Live? We sure miss you.

Kathie Lee
No, I really don't . It's so nice to be able to control my schedule. But I miss my interaction with all of you!

maria
kahtie lee how is taryn doing and her bundle of joy

Kathie Lee
She's doing really well under the circumstances. She's one of the blessed ones because she has a wonderful family, friends, and a strong faith.

jennyb
I saw you perform in Fort Worth. You were amazing. I wish you would record a DVD of your live performances. I

Kathie Lee
Let me get a few more of them under my belt before I record them! That was sort of an experiment.

Grace
Dear Kathie Lee, Are you afraid of the things going on in the world today and are you aftaid of the "end times'?

Kathie Lee
There's a wonderful scripture that says, Perfect love casts out all fear. If we truly believe that God loves us perfectly then there really is no place for fear in our lives. Every moment is in His hands.

maria
kathie lee what hair care products do yuo use you looked great on qvc and your mom and sis ( and chardonnay too)

Kathie Lee
Thank you! We all are using Biolage these days but we're hoping to introduce our own line really soon. I'm testing products.

Sandy
What are your plans for the holidays?

Kathie Lee
We've just finished an addition and I've been decorating for the past 3 days. I have tinsel, ribbon and holly all over me!

brencanada
I had the thrill to meet you at Live before you left, took the bus from Detroit and took 19 hours but was worth it that few seconds to get a picture with you, and miss you on TV

Kathie Lee
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much! I hope we'll have another opportunity to meet.

HeDied4us
How are you decorating your Christmas Tree this year?

Kathie Lee
Like an antique toy store.

jena
did you and cassidy do a christmas ornament this year.. i haven't seen them in the stores

Kathie Lee
Yes, we did it exclusively for QVC this year. You can try to get one online at qvc.com.

belle
are you doing any movies or scripts your reading?

Kathie Lee
I have no plans to right now. Nothing I've been offered is anything worth doing. I'm hoping to return to Broadway in the next few years.

jennyb
What are your plans for New Years Eve?

Kathie Lee
Yes, we're going to be on a friend's boat.

jennyb
I saw Shannie on QVC - she has become a beautiful girl!

Kathie Lee
I agree and as sweet as she is beautiful.

Botlick
Hey Kath.....JUM-BUG...love you

Kathie Lee
is that David?

jennyb
Will you have your home photograhed for a magazine, or have you ever done that? Would love to see your decorating projects!

Kathie Lee
I'm in the planning stages right now of doing my very first interior design book. Lots of tips, recipes and photo essays. We'll let you know how it progresses.

Grace
Kathie you are a very smart, sweet encouraging women and your family is blessed to have you. Right now I'm just a fan but someday I hope to be your friend.

Kathie Lee
Me too. I can use all the friends I can get. Thank you.

spirit1
Kathie Lee: I too, saw you in Ft. Worth and you were so strong and wonderful. Thanks so much. And I just had my Christmas picture taken in the V-neck Velvet red dress you featured on QVC. It's perfect. Will you do more fashions on on QVC? I hope so. And when will the photo spreads on your homes and decorating flare come out?

Kathie Lee
I've heard from everyone about that dress! We'll definitely be featuring new outfits on QVC in the future. Unfortunately books take a long time so it probably won't be out for another year or so.

inletbum
Any plans to come to the Norfolk, Virginia area?

Kathie Lee
No, but we used to vacation there every year as a kid.

lake lady
Do Cody and Cassidy still believe in Santa?

Kathie Lee
More than ever now that they know it's me.

Grace
Kathie how is your sister and her daughter and what are they up to now?

Kathie Lee
They're great . Thank you for asking. Shannie's graduated college and is very much in love and very happy. I'm thrilled to report that.

Grace
Kathie what are you going to have for dinner tonight?

Kathie Lee
Nothing. I'm too busy with all of you.

maria
how is billy graham feeling and do you still keep in touck

Kathie Lee
He has health problems but he has a remarkable spirit and will and we keep in touch occasionally. I'm incredibly honored every time I hear from him. He is by far the most influential individual in my life outside of my own father.

Amanda
WHAT DO THE KIDS THINK ABOUT THE WAR? ARE THEY SCARED? WHAT WAS THEIR 1ST REACTION?

Kathie Lee
Their first concern was for Taryn and Tom and the baby. That continues to be their main concern. They're not frightened however. They've known the Lord every moment of their lives and His love keeps them grounded and secure.

Emma
It was wonderful to see you on QVC recently, and to experience the great gift of your superb and soulful voice, as you sang that song for your daughter. Please tell me the name of it, and which CD it is on. We miss you each morning, but we know that your choice to do all you are doing now is blessed, and will lead to new and special ways for your fans to stay connected to you through your many gifts. God is blessing now and He always will.

Kathie Lee
Thank you. The song was called "Baby Bird." It was the first song I wrote for the album "Goodnight, Angel CD.

holly
Have you seen David lately? He seems so nice.

Kathie Lee
My precious David. He's a very big star in Alaska right now and doesn't have time for the likes of me. I miss him terribly.

Sandy
How much time do you spend on your treadmill each day?

Kathie Lee
too much!!

billandron
Kathie Lee: Did you like the movie Harry Potter?

Kathie Lee
I haven't seen it. My kids enjoyed it though.

spirit1
Kathie Lee, your CD of the songs done at the Lincoln Memorial is fabulous. I have been hearing "We Can Be Kind" for several years at my church and was thrilled to know that David Freidman wrote it and even more excited that you recorded it. Since that was done for children all over the world, what is your best advice for all of us in as we dedicate ourselves to insuring that children grow up prejudice free and with hearts full of love and joy?

Kathie Lee
We have to remember first and foremost that children learn by example. If we are loving they will learn to love. If we are forgiving it will be natural for them to forgive. If we are kind, they will be even kinder.

Katfan
If your plans for a line of hair care work out will you be selling them on QVC?

Kathie Lee
it's a strong possibility. We have found QVC a wonderful place to work at. They're so open to exciting new ideas.

Nancy Tabb
Will you ever offer an accompaniment track to "Make My Heart a Manger"?

Kathie Lee
We'll look into it.

jpnvegas
Strong Don Pardo, but who is that?

Kathie Lee
He used to be a very famous announcer at NBC studios. I don't know what ever happened to him.

4girls
Does Mickey the warden still work for you?

Kathie Lee
Yes she does. Harder than ever! What would I do without her. She's here helping me with this chat at this very moment.

brencanada
I went for my first colonoscopy a month ago after you encouriging everyone to get one, it was painless and glad I went as colon cancer runs in my family, thought if Kathie Lee can do it so can I

Kathie Lee
Thank you for reminding me I'm due again!

susan
i believe qvc is the equivalent to our canadian home shopping channel. do you ever come up to canada to sell your products on our home shopping channel?

Kathie Lee
No, the home shopping network in Canada is not connected to the QVC in the US.

smiley
I think you should do a comedy sitcom, you're very funny.

Kathie Lee
Me too! lol Got any offers?

Mandy
what are the little things you do to make you happy in these bad times

Kathie Lee
flower arrangements, writing a great lyric, finishing my workout, being kind.

randi
I thought you were so funny on Gimny Glick. You should do more shows like that

Kathie Lee
Sadly there aren't enough shows like Jiminy Glick that are really inventive.

holly
You seem so close to your parents. Seems to have rubbed off on you..you are so sweet.

Kathie Lee
Actually I just got off the phone with my parents right before the chat. They send their love to everyone. They'll be with us for Christmas. It's one of the great blessings of my life to still have them in my life.

GoldaTV
Can we continue to send message to Taryn through the webpage?

Kathie Lee
Absolutely. She gets a great deal of comfort out of them.

lake lady
Kathie Lee, it may sound funny, but sometimes if I have had a stressful day I can put in your lullaby cd and listen away. Thanks for the stress relief!

Kathie Lee
Thank You. I usually listen to it at night when the kids are going to sleep but maybe I should try it in the middle of the day.

smiley
Where do you do your Christmas shopping?

Kathie Lee
I have a great friend at Bloomingdale's at At Your Service who has helped me with presents for as long as I can remember.

Botlick
This is a first...us talking on a computer...there IS a God!!!!!! Love you, Michie

Kathie Lee
Way to go, Mich!! You're way ahead of me, Honey!

How is your brother doing in NYC at the church?

Kathie Lee
He's doing phenomenally. He has a magnificent ministry to the city of NY.

jennyb
Do you snow ski?

Kathie Lee
I used to. It got to be too much work. Now I like to sit next to the fire and watch other people shush down the slope.

pollyd
Are you still selling your clothing line at Wal-Mart? Whenever I looked before, all I could find was XX sizes. I'm certainly not as small as you, but not into extra large sizes either. I appreciate your clothing line, but do not own any of it. I'd like to though.

Kathie Lee
Yes, it is available at Walmart. Every store has it's own buyer who decides what sizes to carry. My QVC line will be offering a different selection with more sizes available. Stay tuned...

holly
How do you think Laura Bush is handling herself?

Kathie Lee
I think she's a magnificent woman. She has a gently spirit and a warm heart and a very loving manner. I wish I knew her.

lake lady
Was the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center an awesome evening this year?

Kathie Lee
It was very special because Cassidy was with me. And because our First Lady was there. It seemed important to be a part of the event this year.

barb1
Kathie Lee, could you at least say Hi to me so I can say I have chatted with you. Love YA!!

Kathie Lee
Hello Gorgeous!

GoldaTV
I lent your Christmas CD to my nephew the other day....and he slept like a baby! You should have seen him...too cute for words. He loves your music, and he is only 9. I think he takes after me.

Kathie Lee
Some people are just born with great taste. Others it just takes years to develop.

randi
You make an appearance on the Ellen Show....that show could use u

Kathie Lee
I haven't been asked but I'd be delighted to. I think she did a great job at the Emmys.

Emma
I'm thinking that you and Tom Selleck need to pitch a television show to any of the networks - with you two as a sizzling couple - with lots of witty banter and sparks. There's so much warmth and chemistry between you two. I think it would be a huge hit!

Kathie Lee
Is this my Mother writing this??

SUZIQ
Do you do all your Christmas cooking and baking?

Kathie Lee
Cooking, yes. Baking, no. Cass does all the baking.

Grace
What exactly is warden Mickey doing to help you right now?

Kathie Lee
she's feeding me questions right now.

Kals'mom
Hi Kathie Lee! Do you ever get to Jackson Hole? We just moved to to WY (Casper) -- and would love to have you do a concert here!!!

Kathie Lee
I've never been to Wyoming. It's one of the few states I've never been to. I'd LOVE to go to Wyoming!

jennyb
Do you keep in touch with Anita Bryant?

Kathie Lee
about once a year we connect

mayley
how many Christmas tree's do you have in your house?

Kathie Lee
Just one

malin
Have you and your sister Michie always had the close bond and support you both so wonderfully display?

Kathie Lee
Yes. She's always been a very rare and special friend to me.

msjoycey
i am trying this again i am not sure if i am doing it right. i don't think alot of people know where to find your ornament. i just found it on qvc. i was looking all over the internet for it. it is beautiful, i am going to ask my husband to buy it for me.

Kathie Lee
Great. Thanks for sharing that. All the little children at Cassidy's Place thank you too since most of the proceeds will go toward those kids.

janie
I met you when I as in the 6th grade and you were in Louisville promoting hee haw honeys..I can never relay to you how you have influenced my life..I hope that you are able to be on TV again I really miss you but are thrilled for all of the blessings that you have given to many

Kathie Lee
Thank you so much. I hope we get to meet again.

lora
What is the best vacation place you have ever gone to?

Kathie Lee
any cruise I've ever been on. And this is not a commercial.

Emily
I bought the gray shirt with the black fur collar, I love it.

Kathie Lee
That is one of our best sellers this year. I'm so glad you like it !

Grace
Kathie who is your best friend besides Frank?

Kathie Lee
I am so blessed with such dear friends that to name one would insult the others.

lake lady
Are you still associated with the Association to Benefit Children?

Kathie Lee
Absolutely. Cody House and Cassidy's Place is a part of ABC. Our dear friend Bruce Jenner in fact just played on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and donated his winnings to ABC. I can't say how much he won but I can say I wasn't much of a life line for him. He did really well and Frank & I are very grateful to him.

Emily
What did you do for Thanksgiving?

Kathie Lee
Ate myself sick like everyone else.

maria
your bichon sweater was beautiful and the quality was awsome i have two bichons myself where was chalbis

Kathie Lee
Chablis gets car sick. She was watching at home.

Todd
Kathie Lee, What is your favorite restaurant in Connecticut?

Kathie Lee
I just tried a fabulous new place in Stamford called La Hacienda on Summer Street. It was amazing.

lora
I had your sisters recipe for the sweet potatoes and it was EXCELLENT!! I made it for Thanksgiving!

Kathie Lee
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I made 3 of them myself this past Thanksgiving.

Vonnah
Wyoming is gorgeous! All of you will love it. There's a "Cody" Wyoming. Not too far form Yellowstone...and it has a Wal-Mart.

Kathie Lee
How perfect could a place be!

Vonnah
I miss your Christmas Specials.

Kathie Lee
I'm so glad you've enjoyed them. I loved doing them. I wish the networks felt the same way. They tend to think what's young and hip is what people want but I think they just want "heart" no matter where it comes from.

Todd
Do you ever go shopping on Greenwich Avenue? If so, what is your favorite store?

Kathie Lee
Todd. I don't have a favorite shop.

countess
What is your favorite location to cruise to and visit?

Kathie Lee
I love the Mediterranean. The Amalfi Coast of Italy is pretty hard to beat. But then again the Caribbean ain't bad either.

cjskids
Just wanted to stop by and say that you are missed. So nice to talk to you. Met you in 1992 at the Minn. airport. You were waiting for Cody to arrive. Turned out my disabled Mom was seated behind him on the plane and he made her flight an enjaoyable one. She thought he was so adorable.

Kathie Lee
Thank you.

Kathie Lee
I send my warmest wishes to all of you for the most blessed of holidays. May you not let one second pass that you don't hug the one's you love most dear, that you don't eat every piece of pumpkin pie that you can get your hands on and that you don't cry every time you listen to Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. May 2002 finally bring us peace on earth. God Bless you all.
