But are we obsessed with curating , that is the question .


Yes, I did notice that.  I think the first person I heard it from was Katrina Szish and then they all caught on and started using it.

Curate:  select, organize, and look after the items in (a collection or exhibition).
"both exhibitions are curated by the museum's director"
 
Looks like QVC is using the word like its supposed to. 
I can't figure out what's the problem.

Here is the first meaning for curate in the dictionary:

 

"a member of the clergy engaged as assistant to a vicar, rector, or parish priest"

 

Now fit that into a presentation Jen SMH

"Enrobed" is another one...

 

Usually when gushing about some kind of chocolate covered confection, and a few times I heard it with the Prindables apples...

 

"Obsessed" is up there too...ESPECIALLY when having spasms of wonder over anything made of Sherpa.....

 

The odd thing about the word "obsessed" is it's often used to describe  some other host from the one doing the demo...

 

" Courtly is OBSESSED with this pajama leg!!!" exclaims Shawn breathlessly...

 

And there's this other word that MAY have been given a sabbatical...I haven't heard it in a few days....."honey"....????

It's a word more commonly used in museums but seems ok in other uses too, just unusual. On Q, the use of the word makes the selections seem important. A curated selection of wines seems ok tho'.

 

I think when it refers to a member of the clergy, it's pronounced differently

Except they are behind the times, everything has been curated for 3-4 years now.

@Kachina624   Time to get those Cataracts removed   LOLOLOL  Just kidding!  She used to be worse, but man she will wrinkle bad if she don't stop that. 


@BalletBabe    Cataracts are long gone but I do have some vision problems.


@Kachina624   I am sorry.  I was just kidding.  That is why I always enlarge my typing because I know that some do have issues.

@BalletBabe   I'd call that a legitimate complaint.  I bet those boxes have a rubbed oil finish like linseed oil.  It'll probably dissipate as it's exposed to air.  Some are very clever; I recently saw one I really liked.


@Kachina624    I was looking at the Motorcycle for my son.  I won't buy it if I have to pay shipping.  I will keep my eye on it.

@BalletBabe    My son would have loved the motorcycle.  Happy day when he got rid of his.  Such a worry when he rode it.

@Othereeeen   Lori Goldstein seems to become obsessed constantly, have you noticed?  I just wonder how many obsessions one person can have at a time before they slip over the edge.
