Hey there @Spurt

The only thing I liked enough to buy were the stuffed foxes and I'm hoping I like them when they arrive... The rest of it just struck me as a bunch of schlocky junque... Val used to bring some really pretty things, but it appears she too has now been mandated to dilute her offerings to appeal to the lowest common denominator... for whom it's all about 'cute' and 'sparkle'...

As for Java, frankly, it seems to create a lot of problems... and no, I'm not fond of IE either, and haven't been through several incarnations.  As for Firefox, I often used it but also often found it sort of glitchy.  I was advised not to load it on the computer I'm now using, so I didn't.  For now, I'm using Chrome and have been trying to do a little research on 10 before I decide whether or not to give it a whirl.  I really don't much like 8.1 and honestly wish I could go back to 7, but there's no point  because you know sooner rather than later they'll stop supporting it.

@stevieb  Hey STEVIE---Those foxes were cute, enjoy them......I think they will work with your woodland theme.  And I think your right, QVC has watered down this collection to a few themes (globes, mercury, gingerbread).....and what I couldn't understand why did she have a candle---aren't there enough---with Luminara, Candle Impressions, Home Reflections, Santas Express, and more----I would've liked to have seen something else that other brands DON'T offer----The peppermint wreath and garland looked very cheap looking too.......overall I was disappointed!!!

Java does seem to have security issues from time to time, and thankfully Pogo has a way to make them secure and some of Pogo's best games still use Java, they only converted a few to Flash, and the rest will be history if all the browsers abandon Java. And some web sites still use Java for their videos.......So I seldom use Chrome now and have to put up with IE and Firefox......

Well have a good week and I know both of us won't waste our time tuning into the Q....Last night I was glad I had the NBA Summer League Finals to watch---our SUMMER SPURS WON ....and with the first female NBA coach too!

Exactly Spurt.  Things are clearly not improving at all.  If anything, QVC continues to narrow their focus further and further.  It's dreadful.  

I have a few lovely things brought from Valerie over the years, but if this is the wave of the future, I suspect there will be very, very few more added to the collection.  that's fine too because I really don't need anymore knick-knacks.  Still, it would be nice to see some honest-to-goodness options once again.

@stevieb  Yep, it's the old, when you think things couldn't get any worse.......yet they do at the Q and they continue to ruin what once were enjoyable shows and merchandise.......I guess I will enjoy the nice purchases I DID get from Valerie and move on unless a miracle happens and QVC allows her to her to use her creativity again, and she expands her line beyond "the usual"........Gee not even a nice winter wreath, they mentioned that her next show will be fall, so this was the big unveiling for the Christmas season...really?????  And I have a feeling fall will be more spheres in fall colors, and glittery lighted pumpkins...........I don't really need anything for fall or Christmas, but it's nice to donate something old, in order to add in a new piece or two just to change it up a bit...but I will check out Hobby Lobby, Home Goods, and Fredericksburg for some options....It's a darn shame what QVC has done to it's home decor options....
