I love Liz’s hair and would like to know who cuts it and what are the colors?
Don’t take offense, but does Liz Bonis wear a wig? Her hair never changes its length. I wondered if you had alopecia!
Liz Bonis,
You got pretty beautiful legs. Let me know please if I can rub your legs Liz…please, please, please!
That is no wig. It is time for Liz to get that long stringy hair cut, as it is very unbecoming on a woman her age!
Hi Liz,
Can I be your husband lol…I think you are hot!
I would take you in a heartbeat…you are so awesome! Cincinnati is the place that I have always wanted to go to. I love their football team.
Why does she wear those fake, long eyelashes and blink constantly?
Hi Liz,
I enjoy listening to your health reports. I was wondering if you did any research on plant-based diets and how they can stop most type 2 diabetes? Thanks for listening.
Also, do you do personal training? I am about ready to get back to training. I had an aortic valve replaced last year and they fixed an aneurysm while they were “digging around. I have completed my cardio rehab series but don’t seem to be able to get back to my regular workouts. Before the surgery, I was doing 1 hours of water aerobics and walking 4-7 hours 4-5 times a week. I also did weights 3x a week. Just wondering if you did personal training. Maybe that will get me back on track.
Happy afternoon Ms. Bonis,
I watch you on Channel 12 every day I can. You are inspirational in sharing all healthcare incidents that impact people of many generations. I know this inquiry is out of your healthcare studies but to help my family I just must ask.
My granddaughter, age 25, has a 4yo son who has recently been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder through CCHMC. We await her paperwork to get him into a school situation, but it was explained the public school he might attend only will allow him education sessions for half day.
My granddaughter needs to work to keep her living situation, for their daily needs, and for her personal emotional health. We are having the most difficult time finding credible professional childcare/caregivers for autistic young children.
Can you point me to a resource list or numbers we might call to see where in Cincinnati are the childcare assistant for autistic young children? I will appreciate any suggestions or guidance you or your followers might offer. Thank you in advance for allowing me to ask this question.
I am a type 2 diabetic, and very upset with the VA that insist that 100 test strips per year is all that a type 2 diabetic needs to check their sugar, the VS doctor disagree but can’t order me more strips, against VA policy.
Hi from the UK Liz. I’m a Type 2 diabetic. How do Americans treat type 2?
