Divorce

Kathyfobo — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 13:54:12 GMT

I feel that the Q and I have been separated for quite awhile, with occasional visitation rights. Now however I feel its time for a divorce. Prices are too hight, quality is down, host not taking the time to know their products so they can explain them properly. Talking over their venders. Acting like 12 year old children. Having a man tell me how a bra shoult fit etc.

Agreed. Me too. Man, that last sentence...SMDH.

I think the analogy of a 'divorce' is far-fetched and ill fitting as shopping is NOTHING compared to a divorce.

However, I agree with the balance, ESP the last sentence....keeping in mind that no one forces us to watch or shop here and there are tons of options out there.

@Kathyfobo Imo...appropriate use of language:

Google: "separate or disassociate (something) from something else.

"we knew how to divorce an issue from an individual."

Carry on.

@amyb

You missed my point.

Anyone who goes through a divorce knows the experience is NOTHING like shopping less with QVC.

The experience of divorce can be stressful, heartbreaking and hard to endure, life changing etc.

While the word technically is applicable, separating yourself from a shopping site is nothing like the real experience of divorce.

I will be curious how QVC is doing next fiscal period especially if everyone who says they're done actually are done.

@Kathyfobo @You are not separating from QVC if you are still signing in and posting here.

Good point @SeaMaiden . A true divorce would be leaving the forums too.

Wow! I left these boards because of all the snarks. I see they are still here.

Really? That's strange ....

Who was the guy telling us how bras should fit?

@SeaMaiden, not true. I haven't purchased anything from QVC in over 3 years, but I still read their forums occasionally.

Re: Divorce

tototwo — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 14:56:52 GMT

That's true... I don't watch, I don't buy, but I still visit their forums. It's the only social media I do.

I think in this case the word divorce is used as a verb, not a noun, such as divorcing oneself from something, separation. Makes sense to me. I may still watch but with limits.

I dont ned to Google how to use language. It was not a grammer test!

Kathyfobo — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 15:50:07 GMT

It was supposed to be a joke people to lighten things up here. You really think it was a comparison to someone going through a divorce?

Re: Divorce

Kathyfobo — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 15:51:26 GMT

Really. DAH lighten up here

@Kathyfobo

I've read your post 3 times and still don't see anything to indicate you were trying to be humorous.

An observation about message boards ..... Since we don't personally know the posters, and haven't got the benefit of facial expressions, hand gestures, vocal inflections or body language when expressing themselves, we have to take all posts at face value.

Usually, people trying to be funny indicate that in their posts.

JMO, of course.

I THINK THE DIVORCE ANALOGY IS PERFECT.

My heart wishes you the best of luck, folks.
