No one has given me any kind of welcome or indicated that they'd like me to be a part of this QVC family. I will spend my time on another site if I am going to be ignored. I've posted several times now. No more if I don't get a response.

Welcome aboard Doggy - we don't mean to be rude.
A BIG HELLO TO DOGGYLOVER!! Welcome. I just know that you will find this board to be very entertaining. Just hang in there. I'm usually here in the wee hours of the morning and very rarely do I read every post or stay on long enough to carry on hours and hours of conversation BUT I'll make a mental note to look for you in the future. Have fun!!! Hope to talk to you soon. Deb

Dear Doggylover...
Welcome to the board.
Most of us are not logged on to this BB 24-7. We check in occasionally and read the posts and post back, so you can not always expect to receive instant replies to your posts.
The majority of folks on this board are kind and caring, and will happily welcome you when they have the time to post.
Making statements like this, "I will spend my time on another site if I am going to be ignored. I've posted several times now. No more if I don't get a response", will not win you any friends on this board...please consider that.
Again, welcome to the board.
doggylover
05-28-2004, 03:13 AM
I thought you were a caring group. Making a comment like, "This will not win you any friends on this board" is hurtful. I thought I would be accepted for who I am and I thought I could say what was on my mind. I was hurt last night after months of waiting to post and I didn't know I had to keep that hurt inside. TURTLELADY, your sweet response is grately appreciated. You, Desi, Angelvenn, and Occashpr made my day. Thank you.

Doggylover I don't even remember seeing a post from you and a do check the new threads at least once a day. The people here are warm, kind and caring and would NEVER intentionally ignore you. I am sure that I am not the only one who did not see your original post.
Hopefully you will stay around long enough to find out no poster here wanted to hurt your feelings, except for a few jerks, and you will discover who they are.
Welcome to our BB, and there are many here who are also doggylovers.

Good heavens! here we go again. This is a board where people post stuff about QVC and our love of shopping. We don't know each other other than the person we choose to portray on the board, which may or may not be the truth and may change from day to day,board to board. that's the beauty of the internet. no one really knows for sure. that is all this is. this isn't a lonely hearts club. this isn't something that is going to change the world or even our individual lives all that much. it's an internet board for people who are bored and want to chit chat about QVC, shopping, the products on QVC, the people on QVC, etc. We all need to put on our big girl panties and deal with it. The question of where are all the posts can be easily answered: people are sick and tired of having to watch every word, every thought, make everything politically correct, timely, cheery, etc. this is supposed to be fun, and lately, it ain't!

Yes, TURTLELADY, you are one of the few who welcomed me. I kept a very confidential post-it note on my computer of all the people who were nice to me on the first day, and those who were mean to me. I only respond to the nice ones. The rest can go to hell.......
We interrupt this email for the following message*****Note, I am being facetious here. Just to clarify--no note, just warm fuzzy memories of the gracious welcomes by the people who were cool and recognized my style of humor.*******************
Back to regular emailing. I do not have my big girl panties on. I have not done wash for awhile, so I have my size 8 panties on my size 16 butt, so there might be a tad bit of crankiness. I am sure you all will be understanding!

I take it that you're all kidding about a "best post" here being at all possible. But there certainly are alot of extraordinary ones! Especially when they're LOL funny or right-on with sensibility!!! Then, too, there are the ones that give super-helpful product info!!!
WWOTS, Bigfatstel, regardless whether your last message here was or wasn't the "best" ever, it was hilarious and I can RELATE!!! I even 'warn' my hubby when I'm into my "didn't do the laundry on time" underwear...usually it's my old Breezies that have started to unravel around the leg and are all faded. UGH! (W/O giving TMI, he's the kinda guy who doesn't care; any disrobing is great to him! LOL) Your 'fitting' your(16)self into your size 8 panties is a hoot, and I'll just bet a majority of us here have done that very thing!
P.S. I'm going to look where you posted about the Nedobeck cat illustration to newbie "JustMe", and leave a message over there.

I look forward to chatting with you about our doggies and of course, QVC. Love shopping. It's a good thing QVC doesn't sell dogs or boy, would we be in trouble!!

Oh, liltiny, as usual - "you light up my life"...and also answered a question that has been on my mind for the last few weeks here...it's not that the posters are not wearing their "big girl panties" they're wearing - either out of lack of laundry - or in some cases extreme lack of reality the wrong size big girl panties. ok ladies - put down your mouses - throw a load in the washer...or if you think you're a size 4 - for heaven's sake look in a mirror...check.....you may not have a bug there it may be your too small thong!

Since I am new to all this chat room stuff, is occaseshpr swearing at me with her "WWOTS" thing? I once thought someone was swearing at me with the LMAO, but I was corrected! I am assuming she is not swearing at me, but I need to clarify. No one gets away with swearing at me without a couple of "F" bombs thrown right back at them! : ) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WWOTS: While we're on the subject!
I took my teenage niece to Barnes & Noble a few yrs. ago and while we were there, she bought a cybertalk dictionary! I should've gotten one for me, too. Text-messaging is the one that would be too daunting for me (too rapid)!

Welcome Doggylover.
Sometimes hours go by without anyone making a single post then other times its non stop posting. You just caught a dry spell I guess.
I think to be on one of these boards its best not to be so sensitive or to take things personally. After all most of us are just here to have fun.

occaseshpr! I must warn you, I got my black belt in Tae Kwon Do when I was fourteen. Of course, I haven't competed in any kickboxing tournaments since I was 18, so I might be rusty. And, if I put up my dukes, and try to hit you, my bat wings would probabaly slap me in the face before my fist got to you! Probably not a good idea! HAHAHAHA!
Hey, I like the idea of us posting our abbreviations--I am going to start a thread on it right now. I'll start with a funny one I heard our local sports guy use on the radio today--made me laugh!

Guys, I think we all need to try to put ourselves in the place of doggylover. I think those of you who were "joking" about doggy's whine and saying doggy was to sensitive might need to look in the mirror. Many of us are here not because we want a fun place to post about QVC but becuz we need an outlet to share our emotions, dreams, loves, and hurts. Let's give doggy our love and stop berating him/her. He/she certainly deserves that. I may not be here long either if you can't be nice to people. Play nice. The world does not revolve around you bigfatstel and others.

once again i feel compelled to say: put on your big girl panties and deal with it!!!!! YES this is a place to just post and talk about shopping. NO it isn't a place to work out your issues and seek the love and support of TOTAL STRANGERS!!!! that is called "therapy" and i pay $100 a week for that. suggest some people do the same. this is a fun board - or it was until every word got taken apart, analyzed, sanitized, deordorized and boring-ized. take a look at the number of posts wondering where people have gone. could it be they just wanted a fun place to share makeup tips, laugh at the goings on at qvc, exault in purchases fantastic and sympathize over purchases lost???
opie'smom "take a look at the posts wondering where people have gone"

desi: you wanted to know who - hhi girl, denim and company, sanjaro, astute, beekeeper - I'm sure I'm missing someone and that will get me in trouble with someone else....
There's truth in catlover, there's truth in opies mom, and there's truth in doglover (think she just didn't understand how the board worked and expected instant messaging)....difference with doggie is that she kept posting new threads and no one was answering any of them - because very few people were on line. Cat lover - give us a chance-if you've been watching for a while you know how things go on the board...and if you've been watching for more than 2 weeks then you know how things DID go-- so your comments are surprising. As I have told a couple of people I put comments from some people on "ignore" in my imagination - as I believe there are some that do the same for me......
Now, instead of big girl panties, let's let the men in on it too...we all suffer from time to time of "thong gone wrong" and our fingers move more quickly than our brains.....mea culpa...for the transgressions I have made on this board....and for those of you who have given me the bird as you typed....go in peace - your thoughts are forgiven!
TURTLELADY my sweet dear friend, I wanted to know what opie's mom meant before I would give my opinion to her. I really didn't forget those lovely people. Really. :)
I'll start out with "correct me if I'm wrong", maybe that'll work....
Opie'smom....Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought Astute, HHIgirl(jen), Sanjaro(Sandi)and Denim&Company left because they were the recipients of some hurtful comments AND that's what CATLUVNREV was referring to. I think you implied that you thought they left because they missed talking about the QVC hosts, good/bad purchases, etc. Maybe that's true but I really think it was because they were hurt and all Catluvnrev was trying to do was to encourage us to not attack each other. It is very hurtful. Believe me, I have NEVER been called a hypocrite before the way I was called last week (or ever)and that stung but despite that I stayed because there are soooooooo many nice people on this board and I loooooove to talk about QVC.
As for Beekeeper, I'm sorry but I haven't had the pleasure of chatting with her. She was here before my time or just as I started posting.

Stop pointing fingers and naming names like little tattlers. Just post what you feel like writing and if no one likes it they can just skip over your post. And the poster is right (I refuse to point my finger at you) the world does not revolve around you or anyone else. Ok, you can flame me now, I could use a good laugh.

I said you watch Howard Stern (don't you?) and you liked the cooking show (didn't you?) where all there was was sexual innuendos left and right. And, then when I talk about sensibly sexuality, you say it's XRATED. I NEVER CALLED YOU A HYPOCRITE. If I recall correctly, it was bigfatstella that said let's quit calling people hypocrites and I said I was sorry if that's what you thought I called you.

I happen to like analogies and use them often. So, please allow me this one...
The pendulum swings both ways when it's working. When it's not working, it's static and useless. On the other hand, when it swings too far and too hard in either direction, the whole damn clock breaks!
Can anyone besides me find a similarity in our 'challenge' here as bulletin board participants? Not that we should be 'vanilla' (hovering near the middle and stagnant), without firm opinions. But the times that I've really enjoyed this bb have been the extended periods of a good blend of varying "styles" and subject matter. By styles, I mean the way posters express themselves and "sound"....also in what they decide to share here.
Why must this bb focus ONLY on QVC chit chat, gossip, product info., etc.? Granted, that is what this forum was offered for. But let's face it, we'd have to be QVC's own version of "Stepford" people for us to keep ourselves from communicating about other aspects of our lives! I believe that this bb would be excrutiatingly boring if it consisted of only QVC-oriented messages! There's only so much that can be written about the hosts, the products, the customer service (or lack thereof), or QVC park. The viewers and customers (that would be US!!!) are what keeps QVC alive, so why not celebrate who we are??? Some of us choose to be more "warm and fuzzy" than those who prefer to be on the dry side and perhaps seek only surface stuff along with the "laughs". Fine! So what's so difficult about that? It's really self-defeating to the perpetuation of the activity here to cast aspertions on posters who are not "just like you" (in whichever "style" corner you may exist)! "Putting on big girl panties" is a cute catch-phrase and is one of those sayings that become very popular for awhile. But to some, that simplifying way of determining what's OK and not OK is just not the way THEY do things. I can very much see it both ways. That doesn't make me 'vanilla' and boring (at least I'm pretty confident about that?); just adaptable.
So, before THIS "dysfunctional" 'clock' gets wound too tightly, why not set the hands back to midnight and start the cycle over again, with a fresh point of view??? Thanks and smiles to ALL. ----"oc"

She's been nothing but nice to you. Stop taking everything so personally.
I read all your posts last week and show me where Desi said she watches Howard Stern. The problem is you don't know how to read.

05-29-2004, 05:12 PM
occaseshpr, I hear what your saying and understand completely. But realisticly even if you set the clock back to midnight and start the cycle all over again the same people will have the same opinion's. If we all thought the same think how boring this world would be. It's best to not take things here so seriously and just enjoy the boards, that's what I do. Maybe it's an age issue or things I've learned working in a law frim but I just don't take things so much to heart anymore. It's done wonders for my blood pressure,lol. So, losen up everybody and let's enjoy these boards!! If your here to make enemies this is not the place to be and if your here to make friends it's still not the place to be. Life's to short for nitpicking.
Now, back to Susan Graver and Koo's.....I must say I do have an opinion on them, lol.
opie'smom
05-29-2004, 06:24 PM
Dogma, let's chat about Susan Graver and Koos. Let's stop this madness! i, too, work in law and i too want someplace to have a few laughs. all this thinking and theorizing makes my head hurt.
Susan Graver: could there be a more annoying presenter? does she ever shut up. i can just picture her having sex and keeping up a running commentary throught the entire experience.
Koos - of course - can we can say "pervert" and his clothes, pardon me i apparently have no high taste, but they look like someone went through a scrap bag and stuck them together.
Another guy who isn't on often but he has a "god complex" is tony robbins. yes, he wants to change everyone's life and the best way to do that is to make his richer! on second thought, maybe we need him to sit in on this board!
OK, your turn. let's pick at nits and not at each other.

WOW! I go away for a few days and I get attacked and don't get a chance to defend myself! Well, I will now--INSTEAD OF JUST GOING AWAY AND BEING A POUTY-POUT like others!
You know, as a side note, I have had a girlfriend spending the weekend with me, and I have been telling her how fun this board is, and how funny most of you are, and how I am going to get my chops busted at work, as I'd rather chat with you guys than work! : ) That is the spirit in which I think of this board. Not the pathetic sniping back and forth, which is such a waste of time and life.
Now, with that being said, screw you catluvrrev! First off, I was very welcoming to you on your first day. Practice what you preach. And for the record, in my little world, the WORLD DOES REVOLVE AROUND ME! If you don't like it, don't read my posts. I am a very self confident woman, and apparently you don't understand my humor. Why don't you read all the wonderful posts about how big-hearted I am ? Apparently other people GET IT and understand the spirit in which things are written. The world DOES revolve around me, my family and people I love. And they benefit greatly from it. Get a clue, get a life, and get a sense of humor!

You know who you are, and the kind of person that is you, so I would absolutely ignore anything derogatory said about yourself.

The world revolves around me? Harrrrruuummpppppp! It damned well better revolve around each and every one of us. I learned very early in life (from being a horribly abused child --big surprise there) that no one looks out for you except yourself. Take care of yourself, and those around you, and you will be blessed for doing so.

Why was everybody fighting on this thread? If we care about each other the way we claim, we should not argue with each other. Differing ideas are healthy...it's what makes our country so interesting. People desire to live here because we appreciate our differences and recognize our similarities. Isn't this board just a microcosm of our world? Let's stand up for peace, in the world and on this board.
Beve1

Doggylover you are absolutely right. The problem arose when people were getting nasty and insulting. They were posting hurtful things about people, and the arguing ensued.
I agree that we are entitled to our opinions, and we should voice them, but not to hurt or insult. We have voted not to respond to these people when they post hurtful and insulting words. That's how the FIVE ALIVE motto was born.
Hope this helps your inquiry.

OMG--go back three or four weekends ago. Yes would be the answer. Very sweet, sucks you in, then gets mental. Yankee's MASTERPIECE, and it was truly a masterpiece, was about this poster. Didn't anyone else PM you on it? I think that is why doodle was rotflhao on a post yesterday! Not to dredge up the past, but a very scary person becasue what you see isn't what you get, you know? Ask doodle or curvi--I think they were around for it. Oh, it was early Memorial Day weekend, as I had my friend visiting from out of town, and she couldn't believe the posts--she is a psychologist, and was analyzing them!
Beve1
06-12-2004, 11:45 AM
Wait a sec...it wasnt Doodle laughing it was someone else last night.
On Memorial Weekend, when I signed on, it was Juliemomof causing all the problems. The problem with Yankee had to have happened when I first joined this BB, and was unaware of what was going on.
However, thanks for the warning, and I will be on my guard. Taking your hand, and exiting stage left... hehehe.
bigfatstel
06-12-2004, 11:50 AM
No, the Sunday of Memorial weekend was catluvnrev and doggy--who are one and the same person. If you want to get very ambitious, dig up the thread about "Pound Sand" and Pound Sand 2. That was my final straw with the situation. It was pretty ugly, but Curvi and I were hilarious in one of them, I must say so myself. In fact, I consider the cool blue waters post on that from Curvi a classic, and next to impossible to top. If you want to bust a gut, read it.
Beve1
06-12-2004, 11:58 AM
How do I find those old posts? Pound Sand and Pound Sand 2. I was online that weekend, and I don't recall those people causing problems.
I must have not posted anything, so didn't get any alerts. I just remember Doodle and I were laughing lots, and coming up with rules.
I appreciate you telling me all this. How can you tell that DL and CatLvr are the same person?
bigfatstel
06-12-2004, 12:04 PM
She slipped up and "admitted " it on a thread she started "juicejoke is mean" I believe. She claims that Cat was her "partner" who accidentally posted on her computer.
I'll find and bump for you, okay. Not trying to stir crap, but if you didn't know--others won't either.
Beve1
06-12-2004, 12:07 PM
Thanks, Joyce. I will look for it.
I feel so dupid...I think for the newbies, we need a list of trolls so they can be cautious in responding to them
bigfatstel
06-12-2004, 12:18 PM
DUPID? Awww beve, don't feel DUPID! Maybe a little dumb, a little stupid, BUT NOT DUPID! : )
Did I get a smile yet?
I decided I am not going to bump those threads--I don't want to re-inforce some people's opinions that I am a "shit-stirrer". So, two were started by me--one is "Pound Sand up your skinny butt, doggylover" and the other is "Pound Sand #2". The other good one is "Juicejoke is mean."
I'd start at screen # 3 and see if they are there.
bigfatstel
06-12-2004, 12:22 PM
Correction, Beve--it starts "I am soooooooo mad. Pound sand...."
Yes, page #3 holds all your answers, young grasshopper!

06-12-2004, 12:23 PM
yeah,lil tiny, dont be a dit dirrer....bev, you funny....my head was spinning last night and this morning just like the exorcist...you just kept going further and further in doggy doo doo....and I thought you were around for all of this. I remember having conversations with you prior to all of that....trying to figure out why you missed it all.
Beve1
06-12-2004, 12:28 PM
Turtlelady, I don't always read all the posts. I read the ones I get email alerts from. So, I found one response to DL that I posted on Memorial Weekend, but I didnt find anything negative. Even SBTZmom said something similar to what I did.
I had no idea that DL was one of the trolls and to be aware of that person. Last night I couldnt stick around for the end result because we were going out. When I came back, I didnt see anything on email alerts, so I went nighty nite.
I think someone who has been around a while should make a troll list for the newbies.
bigfatstel
06-12-2004, 12:51 PM
Yeah, Bev, I didn't say anything because I knew you were there before me. Remember on my first day, you said I should get counselling, so you stick in my head! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Just giving you grief--you know you are one of my favorites! : )
TURTLELADY
06-12-2004, 12:52 PM
Bev, I wasn't trying to make you feel badly...it was just so odd. As far as making lists of the trolls I think you knew the original garbage peddlers there were three of them. The other two new ones may or may not be individual identities. There is some thought that any or all of the trolls might be regular posters that assume different identities to cause trouble, have psychotic fun, have lost their meds, ...whatever. As I said, I fell big time for doggydoodoo. It has been very confusing on the BB lately. Because of a lot of things like this some people aren't posting anymore and everyone is suspicious of everyone else.
Beve1
06-12-2004, 01:13 PM
Yes, Joyce I remember telling you to get counseling hahahaha.
Like I said, I don't always read all the new posts, and get email alerts where I had posted. I read the Pound Sand #2, is there a Pound Sand # 1 that I should be reading? Jeepers, I will have to be on my toes from now on. Glad I had all of you laughing. At least there was a chuckle out of last night, Desi said "I needed that".
No wonder the original posters are not here anymore. I remember Yankee, Astute, Denim, HHIGirl, SBTZmom. Joyce, I think you and I arrived here about the same time. Can't imagine why you were picked on like that. Yikes, you were target practice. Shame. You sure didnt deserve that kind of treatment...no one does. Anywho, thanks for smacking me upside the head and alerting me.
That's a shame, Turtlelady, that there has to be such distrust, and that there are some people with dual identities. You are right, they must be out of meds. In fact, when I saw the post from DL, it said, Hi all Im back from vacation. I thought this was a nice person...how wrong I was. I guess it's easy to get "tricked" on these BB's.
I will be more on the alert from now on, and follow other's leads.
I still think the names of the people who are nasty, should be listed on a thread. The ones I know are Alpha, JJ, and Juliemomof. Are they all one in the same? How demented to be one person, change your name to be another to insult and instigate. Sick, sick sick.
Thanks guys, appreciate you telling me. I sure will know better now.
I don't feel so bad now that I know you stepped in doggydoodoo too...LOL
bigfatstel
06-12-2004, 01:25 PM
Beve, you are a hoot! Still think I need counselling because I sound so sad? : ) I love your posts!
Yes, please read Pound sand 1--I think that one was funnier. It is what got the ball rollling. Oh, wait, Pound Sand 2 has the cool blue waters from Curvi--right? God I still laugh about that one! Pound Sand 1 is actually "I'm sooooooo mad right now! Pound sand up your skinny butt, doggy." It's on Page 3. Yeah, read it--very telling......Also, read the thread by her about "Juicejoke is mean" to get the "busting" of the dual postings.
Yeah, you and I started at the same time roughly. I don't get the target paractice thing, and it has been a struggle not to just say "screw it" and walk away. But there are too many people here who i care about and I owe it to them to ride it out. I think I stand out because I am not a "fly under the radar" person.
Add Howard, doggylover, and catluvnrev to your list.
Beve1
06-12-2004, 01:36 PM
Oh yeah, good ol Howard. He was a-postin when I first arrived. That's the one whose wife watches the Q. (yeah, right) me thinks he watches....<clearing throat>
Okay, going to page 3, pound sand.
Beve1 - in a way I'm glad you didn't get it at first because you had me in stitches, but I can see why you didn't know. I fell for Doggylover too in the beginning. She has a way of sucking you in. If you want to put some pieces together look at the threads Juices Joke is Mean and then read Talking in the Third Person. QVCDude and Stel are hysterical!! Definitely a good read.
Stel - for some reason you are target practice... just look at the thread Sick and Tired or is it the poster Sick and Tired? Well you remember.... just read how many came to your defense and always know that they outnumber the trolls.
Trolls - you have correctly identified yourselves and thank you, for you are all on ignore.
Would be Trolls - It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to match up IP numbers. So come out and stop lurking in the wee hours of the morning. We already know who you are. It's a shame you couldn't remain as one identity because you really aren't so bad you know.
Beve1
06-12-2004, 02:06 PM
Desi, at first I felt sooooooooo dupid. Then I felt much better to find out some of you fell into doggydoodoo too hahaha.
I went back to some threads, and there were many I didnt read. I found some where there were nasty words going back and forth. I think I was a very newbie at the time, and did not know what I was doing yet. (actually still don't) :o)
I guess it was really funny...the saying "igorance is bliss" is true.
Time to get back to the fun stuff, and talking about the Q, hosts, and vendors.

It's breaded cheesecake ..deepfried just long enough to get the coating browned and the they put it in one of those tall ice cream dishes, cover it with strawberries & sauce and top it with whipped cream sprinkled with nuts and place a cherry on top..
Sounds great right now....but I think I'll have a strawberry skinney cow instead.. only 98% fat free and they are great....

Okay, I have three votes--Desi and Desi and Desi!
So, my first husband was HORRIBLE in bed. HORRIBLE. God-freaking-awful. In fact, in marriage counselling, I told our counselor that he $%^&-ed like a 12 year old. To which he asked how many 12 year olds did I $%^&. He acted like everytime was his first time--ooohhhhh, boobies, boobies, cooter and done. You get the picture.
So, I did what any young-blooded (SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM) woman would do--I got myself this awesome vibrator. It was battery-operated. So, I'd use it, ignore the husband, and be happy all the time. Well, when the batteries would run low, I'd switch them with the batteries from his TV remote! He'd come home from work, plunk on the couch, grab the remote, and it wouldn't work. He'd put new batteries in, they'd last a week because I'd be switching them out every week! (Apparently vibrators use a lot of juice!). This went on a couple weeks, and he got more and more angry each time.
So, one Saturday, when the damned thing was dead again, he went to the store and bought a new universal remote, as clearly his old one was busted. He had the same damned thing happen on that one--would EAT thru batteries! He'd ask his friends how long the batteries lasted in THEIR remotes--oh, years, they'd say! So, he figured it was another defective one, took it back to the store, and got his THIRD remote! : )
Gee, that one didn't work well either--batteries would last only 1-2 weeks. This drove him insane, and I'd have to not LMAO every time he was having a fit about his remote not working! : )
