 Cathy can barely speak complete words, example  ka in for cotton.

Mary Nelson sounds like she is going to burst into tears with every word.

Everything that comes out of Shawns mouth and

goodness knows what Amy is ever talking about.

Really miss those other hosts.

@this is my nic  Haven't seen any host with that ruler for a long time.  Was nice the way they would measure the stone in a ring, etc.  The ruler even had "QVC" on the back and the camera always came in close so we could see the exact measurement.   That was helpful.

I am appalled when they tell you “the price to get it home”rather than the actual price

"Absolutely!"

It seems everyone is saying this all the time!

Its like a word gets popular and then becomes the only word used to express every thought!

 

And above the mason dixon line -you are "you guys"

below it you are "you all" (transplanted northerners living now in the south)

"y'all"-true born and bred southerners

(never to be heard from a former northerner)

I think I'm just tired of most hosts and vendors.  I don't watch nearly as much as I used to watch.

I agree.  Also, David giving us the numbers left of blue, red, etc. constantly.  And wasting time having a staff person come in and remove the sold out item.  Then he has to rearrange the display.   Would rather they use the time to present some new and interesting items.

@BarbiHollywood,

 

Thank you!  Misusing the word fabrication drives me up the wall!  

Reading all these posts makes me realize why I rarely watch the Q, and the less I watch the less I buy!

Re: Tired of hosts and vendors saying-----

When an item is fairly expensive & the host suggests you "buy multiples" for mom, sister, daughter,neice...like we are made of money! Also "here's the thing"
