Is QVC supposed to be a comedy channel? ;-) Stunning cheers, helen s Oh, no doubt. Some of their most "stunning" offerings are the most garish stuff I've ever seen. Lord have mercy. "Stunning" sure doesn't equal "tasteful" on that show. Some of it *is* funny. But people buy it up like crazy! So I thought it was just me. :-) Sherry

I think she justwatches it to get shocked at how tacky the stuff is. Theresa So do I :-) Confession: I did buy something *once*. But it was a tiny square amethyst on a fine gold chain, with tiny square amethyst matching stud earrings. I love em. I feel nekkid without jewelry, but only the small dainty things. Never anything like those clunker rings. Gad. Who needs brass knuckles? Sherry

By Crikey - I've really ****ed 'im of now!" or something to that effect...  I liked the advertisement that Steve Irwin made for the Federal Express package-delivery service, where he is handling a poisonous snake, gets bitten, and discovers too late that his assistant had used some other package delivery service, and thus doesn't have the antivenom on hand.

My 7th grade English teacher instituted a "Like" count. Everytime
someone in the class used "like" inappropriately, it was counted. At the end of the year, everyone had to chip in money for each "like" to their name, and we used the proceeds for a class party. I think it may have been a $0.25 per "like". One girl owed something like $30. As I recall, I only had 2  -Caroline S. CatNipped wrote: I have a new one. Maybe it's just because I have those "Trading Spaces" type shows on in the "background" in my office a lot lately (I don't normally watch TV, but it seems less lonely than silence lately). When did the word "awesome" become the only descriptor left in the English language? Each "reveal" is "awesome", each redecorated bedroom is "awesome" every design is "awesome". I heard a commercial the other day (on radio - it had nothing to do with TLC) and the announcer said "awesome" three times in two sentences!!!! This phenomenon is totally awesome. Hugs, CatNipped

The word was "yeah", the fine was either 10 cents or 25 cents (I forget which), and the plan was to have a class party at the end of the year with the proceeds. We ended up with so much money we paid for the entire 6th grade to tour a state park for the day, including lunch! Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com
