Like a weird uncle or the “nice neighbor” who turns out to be a serial killer. And the blond guy is Rick. I can never remember his last name. Usually just gets called the Rickster. ---

Rick Dohmeier, I believe. He doesn’t bug me as much as he seems to bother others, mainly because I tend to think his QVC shpiel (sp?) is all an act. He either cracks me up, or makes me anxious with his hyperactivity, in which case I click away from Q. Hey **Kloves** , I was also banned from the Other Place. I was shocked! All I could figure was I “liked” something they deemed racist, (Graver in a burka) – which was probably right, but I didn’t think of it at the time. (Going with the flow.). Lesson learned, but still, no warning, no nothing. Pretty harsh. Tried to get a response, get reinstated. No response. Really, I am a pretty mild-mannered person. I am gun-shy about That Place. And suspicious about those who remain. Lori Grenier – I am “over” her, since her Shark publicity. ---

Rick’s hair wasn’t blonde when he first started on the Q. It’s got lighter and brighter over the years. I guess now it’s to cover up the grey. ---

Joan Boyce on HSN! She cracks me up!! Too bad Shannon is the host. She persuaded me to buy a pair of pj’s from her last year and I like them. ---

Actually, I believe LR just said the “line” will continue at the Q after she exits stage left for the last time. I for one, am hugely relieved. I was afearin’ that I would no longer have the chance to buy over-priced, cheaply made leather and pleather goods, and brass or plastic filled Italian “gold” status jewelry pieces! ---

It’ll probably look like all the others with a tweak here and there. Ack! Whatever you do, don’t do that here. It’s called being a sock puppet and about the most serious offense you can commit here.

Puddy tried to register here for hours last night. I think there was some type of glitch in the system. She never received the email to click for final authorization. I have heard that several people who tried to register had the same problem. ---

I think Puddy is on the old site reasserting her extreme dislike of Lisa, in the presence of all those who reported anyone who was rough on her. Not that I am speaking for her at all, but I just saw her mock one of Lisa’s fans who called Lisa a strong woman. Goodnight ladies. Thanks for the invite over and a place to vent. ---
