Q Talk

[tundracat]

I watch QVC a little too much. That’s probably an understatement. There’s a lot of adoration going on. It must be a new catch phrase, but I am now clearly aware that a lot of the hosts adore the presenters and vice versa.  Time for me to change the channel 😅

[sunshine45]

interesting......what you consider "adoration" i consider respect and friendship.

Adoration?

I know some posters express adoration of hosts, usually the ones who no longer work for QVC.

But yes, hosts and vendors are co-workers, and will talk about sharing meetings, lunches, parties, etc in addition to sharing camera time together, often for years. It's clear some have become very good friends.

They also tend to simply “adore”  many of the products they present.

I don't watch much QVC on tv anymore, very little.  Is "adore" really a word they are misusing now?   I adore my husband and my children and my grandbabies.  I can't say I've ever adored a co-worker.  Like, respect but not a adore.  

[Naturesbeauty]

adore\ə-ˈdȯr\ : to love or admire (someone) very much : to like or desire (something) very much : to take great pleasure in (something)

ad·o·ra·tion\ˌa-də-ˈrā-shən\ noun : strong feelings

When I saw that word it brought back memories.  My best friend (she and her husband was mine and my late husband's best friends for over 50 years) where was I?

OK, so my best friend once said to me (when we were young, maybe like 20 years old) she said, "I want my husband to "adore me".  I thought, "Hummmm....that sounds good to me to".

Move forward over the years and I'd ask my husband, "So do you adore me"?  He'd laugh (like men do when they are avoiding what they think is a silly question and he'd say, "Yea!  Sure!"  

I remember on my 40th birthday my husband (as he did every year hosted a dinner party for me), bought me an amazing diamond bracelet and took me to the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC over night.  It was magical!

I remember walking into the suite at the hotel and he turned to me and said, "I adore you".  Well, you know I was a blubbering idiot....he knew what that word meant to me.

My point is that I think that word (like so many other words today is way over-used.  

I think to adore someone or something is extra-ordinary.  Me?  Personally?  The only thing/person I adore are my three daughters....

Now if you asked if I watch a lot of QVC, I'd say, "You betcha, way too much".  But like many of you, it's background noise.  

At 71 I've stopped apologizing (unless I've been mean or rude).  I no longer apologize for watching too much TV or for any of the other dumb things I do.

I suspect many of you feel the same way because you are mostly a group of intelligent, wonderful (mostly women).  

There's very little we need to apologize for.  Watching too much QVC or TV shouldn't be one of them.

They all "adore" each other and are "obsessed" with what they're selling. It must be in the bylaws of QVC.😵

A bit off topic, but every time I see or hear the word Adore, I think of this:

Lyrics

Baby, yes
Until the end of time
I'll be there for you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God one day stroke me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is to weak to define
Just what you mean to me

From the first moment I saw you
Oh, I knew you where the one
That night I had to call you
I was rapping till the sun came up
Telling you just how fine you look
In a word, you were sex
All of my cool attitude you took
My body was next
You made love to me
Like you where afraid
Was you afraid of me?
Was I the first?
Was I your every fantasy?
That's why

Until the end of time
I'll be there for you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God one day stroke me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is to weak to define
Just what you mean to me

When we be making love
I only hear the sounds
Heavenly angels crying up above
Tears of joy pouring down on us
They know we need each other
They know you are my fix
I know, that you know that I ain't cheating baby
They know this is serious
I ain't funking just for kicks, no
This condition I got is crucial, crucial baby
You could say that I'm a terminal case
You could burn up my clothes
Smash up my ride, well maybe not the ride
But I got to have your face
All up in the place
I'd like to think that I'm a man of exquisite taste
A hundred percent Italian silk imported Egyptian lace
But nothing baby, I said nothing baby could compare
To your lovely face
Do you know what I'm saying to ya this evening
I'm just trying to say
I'm just trying to say
That until, until the end of time
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
On my heart, on my mind, (truly adore you)
I truly adore you (darling)
You don't know what you're mean to me
Baby, (until the end of time)
Baby, (I'll be there for you)
Baby, (you own my heart and mind)
'Till the end of time I'll be there for you (I truly adore you)
Adore you (Adore you)

Can I talk to you?
Tell you what you mean to me
Every time you wander (until the end of time)
I'll be your eyes so you can see
I want to show you things
That I show no other, I want to be
More than, more than your mother
More than your brother
I want to be (like no) like no other
If you need me, I'll never leave
I know, that you know, without you there is no me
There is no me
Without you there is no sea
There is no shore
Love is to weak to define how much I adore
You, child
You, child
The last words you hear
The last words you hear

(Until the end of time)
I'll be there for you, baby
(Until the end of time)

Be with me darling till the end of time (until the end of time)
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my mind
I'll give you my body (until the end of time)
I'll give you my time (until the end of time)
(Until the end of time)
(Until the end of time)
For all time I am with you
You are with me (until the end of time)
You are with me, you are with me
