I posted same complaint on this forum under the “customer service” tag.

@jsmine

So kind of you to reply, getting feedback from users of this product is extremely valuable.

I figured anyone on this forum that buys and uses AL products would be the best folks to ask.

I appreciate people taking the time to help me, HSN peeps are the best. The kinship is real.

@rustythedog,

Thank you for the response. I’m past menopause also (soon to be 64). I have made a decision to begin taking 3 grams daily starting January 1st. I’ll take half (1.5) in the morning – I will use my immersion blender. adding it to my small protein shake I take all my AL Vitamins with…then enjoy my coffee after I drink that….

About 2:30pm, I’ll take the other half (1.5) adding it to another small protein shake. The small shakes taken twice a day should buffer the belly. I’ll also drink more water – thus maybe helping to cut down on the bloat I heard some folks experience when they first begin taking creatine.

My overall plan is to start taking the 5 gram (the dose most folks take) on April 1st, after 3 full months of taking it. I’ll do the half doses twice daily. If I can’t tolerate it I’ll gift the unused powder to my neighbor – he takes this stuff and should appreciate a big ol container of it.

Slinky Brand made their line in the USA. It’s a difficult endeavor but patrons love to buy from America when they can. I know I do.

In the past I was a narrow-minded naysayer about Kim. I flippantly thought negative things about her. Then I watched her and decided she radiates enthusiasm about life itself. Kim seems happy to be alive and well. Her broad smile and genuine curiosity about products she is selling with a vendor are helpful to the patron. I also love when she hosts with the vendors she knows from her ol stomping ground of ShopHQ. Kim likes what she does and it shows.

@gammy1948,

You’ve got me curious and hungry for a cold sweet snack…. Do you have the item number of the maker you prefer? I think if it’s still available I might buy one. Thanks

All the bags on the Diferdinando line are unique and adorable. The silhouettes and shapes are conversation starters for sure.

See….its things like this that make me believe the HSN community forum is just a nicer site to participate with.

It’s an authentic kindness here not a phony forced one. I really do believe this forum has generosity at its core.

Here’s another thought that has crossed my mind about the two chat areas, the Q is a tad bit easier to navigate. Again, I post on both but feel like the Community over on Q is harder to be my authentic self. On this one I don’t feel like I have to police my thoughts (or someone else will).

Grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ. Parents still there. We grew up on Bobby Chez crab cakes, but then I bought them from Wegman’s (on route 70 where the track used to be)…. Wegman’s was even better. However, Aldo Lamberti across the street from Wegman’s was the tastiest we ever had at a restaurant. These days (I live in Philly’s Fishtown) we get all our crab cake needs at Reading Terminal.

She kicked off the Curtis Stone TS at midnight. She had a blast chewing her way through the entire show. Honestly I just adore this woman, she is a fun host to watch.

This ‘no-tracking’ issue has literally happened over a dozen times with my deliveries since early spring this year. No tracking is available whatsoever via USPS, or UPS.

(And fyi), these deliveries are not being made by either company. Last week I also had a ‘no-tracking’ order come to my home via some rando zero that thought it was appropriate to THROW my item AT my door, cracked the glass, got back into their junk car and sped off down the street.

The screaming I had to endure from my husband acting like this was MY fault made the entire ordeal all the worse for me.

I am angry as a wasp that I have to deal with this yet again. It’s not right, not fair and not acceptable to do to your customers. A 3rd party should not prohibit tracking. A 3rd party should not disrespect my door or my delivery.

I just wish G would sell tall sizes. Her pants are floods.

@sistermarykate

Nope. I cannot find it either. I’m venturing a guess that for now he is not creating nor offering it.

Marla’s daughter sells the same thing everyone else is selling. zzzzzzz Joggers, 1/4 zip over sized pull over sweatshirts, rayon/span 3 pack tee shirts, spongy knit straight leg pants with pintuck and tiny vent in front, and a sleeveless duster length vest.

She did the stretch the pants thing her mom does to show how they’ll glide over the hips and stomach, she boasted about living in Paris, blah blah, blah BOREFEST.

mommy and kiddo are braggers (Parisian women this, Paris style that) and both push over-sized and over-priced clothing.

An hour I’ll never get back, never watch her again and never buy.
