Q Talk

@Shelbelle  Yes, I agree she wanted day hours. But over the last few years, it seemed they put her on awful hours, QVC2 here and there, and she would be on in the evening, and then she'd be on in the morning again. Who can tolerate those grueling hours?? And she also filled in for many hosts when they went to Las Vegas. She had covered so many hours.   Come-on, since she was given those unbearable hours, makes me feel like they are pushing her to leave. Sad.

No one I know chooses to retire at 65 unless they dislike working.

She just announced that she's retiring next March! She was planning to retire in August but the Q asked her to stay on for a bit!

Congratulations and best wishes!!!

@occasionalrain @ You are kidding right? There is a lot of living to do at 65!

@occasionalrain I retired at 62. Worked from age 19. Enough is enough.

I don’t understand what you mean @occasionalrain

Are you saying nobody retries at 65 they keep on working? Until what age do the ones you know retire then???

Me too ❤️...MBR ,was expecting the same time I was ! Had my beautiful daughter 😍..August, 1996.

I remember hoping to be home for the Gold Rush ✨️...

She has always been genuinely sweet, always professional...

I remember her with Nolan Miller...
Sometimes she would wear one of his designer dresses ...

Her monthly Gold Rush shows, Annette F. & Gary ...Boyds bears 🐻
Marie Osmound ........some of my favorite."Q" purchases!

I do believe like others have mentioned...she wanted to retire...on her own terms !

She will be dearly missed 💔.....
Luckily she'll be around for a while !

Not everyone wants to become year round tourists, cruisers, babysitters, daily golfers.

Some enjoy their work,  contributing, being involved.

Well my watching time of the Q was reduced even more. Mary Beth was one of only four hosts I will watch. Wishing her all the best in her retirement. I’m sure she will enjoy it so. It was very nice of her to stay longer than she had planned. Wanting to retire in August. I hope TPTB made it worth her while. Congratulations on your retirement Mary Beth. Well deserved!
