Q Talk

[rms1954]

After you turn 50 years old, you may not recognize letters up close, but you sure can recognize idiots from far away!

LOL....about all the craziness, I thought mature women would understand it. They act like they need to explain it and talk about it as if women don't know that it going to happen.  They should do a new show "under 13 and fabulous" and discuss the menstrual cycle....

  So QVC is supposed to be our new health guru . 

Does QVC have any on air Real Medical Doctors or a bunch of ... pretenders selling all kinds of products.

 If you want to know something abt menopause talk to your Doctor or Nurse  or Pa or NP . Go to a free health clinic  or call you local county health department . Read some medical journals .

 Even some women's magazines  have some articles written by Doctors .

Next thing QVC will be talking abt womens sexual health  and selling  products .

We are a youth oriented society.

Ageism is real.

@22eyesblue You got that right--despite all the laws to try to stop it. Happens to men, too. Super hard to prove that you were really let go because the decision makers want to hire a younger/less costly person to assume your job. Or that you didn't get the second interview because you have gray hair, etc. etc.

Not sure how the 50 and Fab thing will help with ageism. Younger people don't believe the age thing will ever happen to them.

I am 51 I'm waiting on the trauma lol it hasn't happned yet but hey Ya never know lol

Unless they have a program that has products to help someone with menopause, I think this is weird. This is a shopping channel not group therapy.

Since when did turning 50 become the end of the world for women?  For cyring out loud grow up it's a number I think QVC is over exaggerating this whole age thing.  I'm 72 (yes older than Jane Treacy who can't say her age and kids names enough) and 50 was nothing, absolutely nothing traumatizing for me.  Get over it QVC.

1000% agree. Women want to be so strong, they can't  handle a darn hot flash. Momg, cowboy up ladies, it's life, so what your 50, only QVC thinks it's a big deal

While this is obviously NOT for, or liked by everyone, there are many women going through menopause that might find the programming to be useful and uplifting.❤ It might even help destigmatize it for some!!❤🥰

Not everyone is offended by this!😁

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Sandy,

I agree 100 % with you. My daughter is having a rough time and suffers from hot flashes. She went to her GYN and the idiot laughed and told her to get a hand held fan! That may be helpful, but it was his attitude that got her upset. I told her about this and she is going to check it out to see if any other ladies have found relief.  not everything on QVC is for everyone, so if it doesn't relate to you just pass it by. I

 Skatting 44, is that wishful thinking on your part? LOL

@Piglet2   I agree 100%! I don't watch often, but when I do someone always brings it up. Mid-70's here and my birthday is Saturday....don't dread it because I'm happy to be alive and well.

I never stopped working full time until this year and still go  in to do stock and check on my 2 assistants. The business is still going strong and so am I. 

I'll admit that 50 was a turning point where I made a  decision to be be sure to stay with my healthy diet, up my exercise program and skincare to look and feel my best. 

Because some women seem to think 50 is old (on QVC), they keep reminding us to stay young buying lotions and potions, etc.... That's annoying to say the least. Every day, year and decade should be celebrated!!! We're wonderful whatever age we are and especially if we're lucky enough to feel well and be healthy.
