Made it over! Iā€™m thelmalou from the other site but can you believe that name is taken over here. Can we post pics? I need visual aids to get my points across. I agree Carolyn looks very nice today, make up is pretty and hair is soft and relaxed. I think the hot coco made in the crock pot looks disgusting. Canā€™t imagine how it would taste after a beef stew was cooked in it. ETA thank you Honey for keeping the snark on! ---

> [@Friedbaloney](#): > > Iā€™m so glad I resisted the urge to buy whirlygigā€™s (Graverā€™s) TSV ā€œpuffer coatā€. The reviews are BAD!

THEY HAVE NO OTHER REVIEWS. Their lovefest for dottyā€™s latest crapola is the one and only review theyā€™ve ever posted. Hmmmā€¦seems kind of suspicious to me. Wonder if dotty practices damage control by having her minions sign up for Q accounts and head straight for the ā€˜write a reviewā€™ page? Sounds like the Grater herself, actually. She probably hired a minion for that purpose, but I can only imagine that she must stick her hands into their keyboard space and type right over them. šŸ˜ƒ Good to know the reviews of the coat, as there have been a couple of other coats she has done that actually made me think for a second that my daughter might like them. :eek: Although I refused to order them anyway just because I donā€™t want to give Kooky Crazy any of my money. Also, itā€™s obviously her not-so-secret-dream that young, hip, 20 something girls will somehow become enthralled with her ā€œdesignsā€ and make them the next cool thing. HAHAHAHA. So Iā€™m not willing to fuel her delusions even a teeny bit! ETA: Agreed, Carolyn looks spiffy today. I like when she gets it right. šŸ™‚ Although, when Ninja guy made her that _healthy_ smoothie, she took a sipā€¦then her words said ā€œYumā€ but her face said ā€œGAK!ā€ Lol ---

I made it over! Sunflowers, I have a few Honora pieces, but they were all purchased years ago, so I canā€™t vouch for their current quality at the Q. The ones I have are all nicely done, and were a great buy at the time. However, the newest one I have is at least 5 years old. I know there have been some complaints about the newer pearls looking more artificially dyed than the older ones. As for ShopHQ, I ordered a Shopbuster coat, and itā€™s still in the ā€œprocessing orderā€ stage. Does anyone have any experience with them? The only other thing I bought from them was shipped immediately, so Iā€™m not sure why the delay on shipping. I didnā€™t notice any statement on the website it was a preorder. ---

Oh you know, the usual that you would expect in a thread about such a controversial topic as _television shopping_ā€¦human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria! šŸ˜‰ So our thread got mod locked, possibly permanently, and now here we are!

Bob the ninja guy, his meaty fingers and heavy breathing during the presentations was a turn off. Carolyn was a trooper in trying to make things look like they tasted good. Iā€™m really tempted by the set of 5 plastic mugs with lids but I worry about microwaving foods in plastic. ---

MichelleAK Iā€™ve ordered quite a few clothing items from shophq, Iā€™ve returned about 85% of the things Iā€™ve ordered so far. Iā€™m on the west Coast and itā€™s taken @7-8 days to receive items. I especially like shophq since they donā€™t charge sales tax, which is almost 10% for my county. Did you guys see Pamela McCoy is coming back to shopHQ on December 12-13! ---

Now a month of Cushmen oranges, I mean honeybells being squeezed. Ugh. Although it is a nice change to see something healthy being offered. Tired of seeing cheesecakes, Corkyā€™s and hams glazed with brown paste. ---
