This was in response to HSN/QVC merger. Do not know why it was posted separate. Sorry!

Thank you Martinc. I am familiar with Bella and you are right. It is gorgeous.

I know. That’s why you hate to have to make a return, especially when it’s not your fault.

My daughter probably feels the same way. I love Heidi’s jewelry. She will no doubt chuck mine too even though I tossed her the eBay or Poshmark idea. I have already parted with a few pieces for charity. It has fetched really good money. However, there are some pieces I could never part with because they make me feel pretty. At 74, that’s no easy task. And yes it makes me smile. Forgive your mom’s taste. The next generation might not appreciate yours either. It’s a generational thing I think.

Yes on the clearing. Safari browser on iPad here.

Same here. Wanted to Christmas shop this weekend but no video so no purchases.

This is bad for business. I’m not buying items I can’t see online either. A static view just doesn’t cut it. Sorry!

It takes me to You Tube. I have NO intention of doing that. It is ridiculous that we can’t see video presentations. In a lot of instances that means I will NOT be buying that item. I want to see its movement and how it looks on various sizes. You are hurting yourself with this new rule HSN.

That is so fascinating. I write poetry (I know, UGH!) and fiction mostly, but did a book on Native American myths and legends based on tales from my family. Anyway, pleasure to meet you.

I agree sherryrose, 100%.

Out of curiosity California Gold, are you a writer? If so, that is intriguing. I am as well.

It is nice to meet a fellow traveler. I am 74 and my outlook is similar to yours. Today’s world is a bit frightening and it can weigh you down if you let it. It is important to hang on to the “core” of who you are no matter what. I refuse to participate in today’s hate campaigns. I try not to judge anyone. I do not care about the color of their skin, their religion, their politics, etc. I care about who they show themselves to be and I’ve met a ton of wonderful people. I want to grow up to be just like them, kind, loving, empathetic, considerate, balanced, etc. – like you!

I think HSN has forgotten the customer base that made them. I understand wanting to build a more youthful clientele for the future but why forget your existing base. I use to buy a lot of jeans here AND I really need some boot cut ones now but I still won’t purchase jeans that are frayed – EVER!

Cancelled the order BTW. I don’t like false advertising.

I completely agree about the patterns. Sadly, that is pretty much true across the board with all the vendors. Both the patterns and the fabrics leave a lot to be desired here at HSN. There was a time they would have never considered such hideous choices. They had quality brands, good designers, who were real fashion designers, and beautiful clothes. You could count on the fit being the same every time. Now who knows and you have to pay for their mistakes. Things keep changing – for the worst. It is beyond sad!
