Q Talk

My man Hyper Rick D. doing a great job hawking the Halo jump starter.

Yes, that sort of thing is right up his alley.  Sometime, just for the fun of it, I'd like to see Katrina Szish present a Halo Bolt.

I'm so tired of them hawking that dang thing seemingly endlessly for the past couple of month, I'd like to tell them where they could put their red and black cables.

You can get better, cheaper ones on Amazon. I checked.

I enjoy Rick's presentations.  He has a great personality and his demeanor does not bother me.

How did these Halo things get so expensive? I meant to buy one when first presented years ago. BTW, Rick is the reason I started watching QVC. January, 1994, midnight during a snowstorm where the staff, hosts, etc. had to stay to cover the TSV (gorgeous ring). Everyone was laughing like drunks. Thought "this sounds like a fun place." I'm still around!

What cracks me up about these little chargers is the IMPORtANCE they put on keeping cell phones charged or lighting a light bulb or even running a TeeVee!!!

OMG what if you couldn't do those things?!?!?!?

When MY power goes out, I worry about the boiler ( heat) in winter and the fridge in summer. Losing power when it's 0 or 90 degrees is critical.. charging a silly cell phone is not ( you can do that in your car if it's really that important to you).

And....WHY don't they suggest using a small string of white Christmas lights, which today are ALL LED and use a TINY amount of electricity, instead of a light bulb if you MUST have light for a few hours?!?!??!?

Spend the money on a battery for your car if its that old and unreliable. 

Another breathlessly presented gimmick in my opinion...the older I get the less I need gimmicks.

They are handy to have in your car.  They serve a great purpose.

We've lost power many times due to severe weather, mostly tornado warnings, my cellphone is the way to watch the radar, after we lose power, keep in contact with neighbors. Not an option to sit in my vehicle while an f2 or f3 is headed your way.
They are very handy.
