Yes, I remember that one too but never knew the full story of the scam nor do I really care.

There was a poster that had so many crazy stories about what was going on in her life.

I think you learn in time who you can post with and the ones you want to pass on by, or at least for myself.

Sometimes I like to add my thoughts but when the thread gets nuts, I'm going to pass.

And yes, there are those they love the "Drama" but I'm too old to put up with that stuff on a home shopping website.

And there have been times that I have told the trolls to pick on me because no matter what they have to say I could care less.

Many of you may know this but one night a troll told me that since I live in Missouri that I only had a 5th grade education and a outhouse. croemer and I played quite along time with that poster.

I hope and pray that maybe a little of my post would make someone feel better. I care for everyone and I don't like to see anyone hurt.

I credit my Mother and Father for the person I am today.

I enjoy your posts, SGH!

Crisso, that is so nice. I didn't realize until I started reading some of these posts of how many posters have had others attack or be rude. I knew it happened but this thread has been eye-opening to me.

Maybe I try to look at life through "Rose-colored glasses" but I don't live my life with negative thoughts.

This may sound strange but I look forward to coming to these boards and visiting with others about our likes and dislikes.

I don't think it sounds strange at all. Maybe it is because I feel the same way. I am the product of what I have lived to date (as we all are) and yes, there are times that I get angry or upset at posters, but I do try to keep this to a minimum. I will "attack" if I am attacked. I have no time for those who troll the boards looking to start a fight for the sake of it and who never offer anything else but this. I can accept a different opinion and that won't make a difference to whether I "like" that poster or not, but when it gets personal....

In any event, as women, I truly believe that we still need to be each others' allies because it is still a kind of war we are battling in the real world....

Keep being who you are. These forums need you and like-hearted posters.{#emotions_dlg.wub}

I don't know what to do. I have spent all the money from my Nobel Prize. The decorator and carpenters have removed the mantel and I have nowhere to put my Oscar. The chauffeur is on holiday and the cook has a cold and I can't even reach reach my husband, The Prince, by phone. To top it all off, QVC is charging $3.00 shipping.

Your husband, The Prince, is with me at the beach house. He took the Mercedes.

The decorator and the carpenter are with me in the Mountain cabin, we took the Range Rover.

Don't worry, be Happy!

I always get shocked at these type of scams.

She was an obvious scammer and when I tried remind people about the nurse recruiter fiasco I was attacked without mercy!, I don't know why the mod let it go on ? But they never took down any of her posts

Yes it was a paypal acct, I looked at it and it had over three thousand dollars in it. Finally later, someone on the board even offered her a home. But as I recall they met and the poster was convinced this poster was unbalanced. Obviously they'd all been duped ,ya think I ever got one apology??.... Nope not one I've met others that I even thought were friends but found out they had multiple screen names , started arguments insulted people, then changed screen names and argued with herself. Oh it was pathetic, she was certifiably insane. For all I know she's a danger to society creepy!
