That’s hilarious! I haven’t seen these. Clearly the move has left some bumps to be smoothed.

Jewelers tell the difference between mined and lab grown diamonds diamonds with specialized instruments, looking for growth patterns and trace elements that differ among earth mined and created diamonds. They need tools like a microscope, spectroscopy, and a photoluminescence tester (I have no idea what this is). Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. To me they’re a kind, a type, of diamonds, not fake.

I really like Adrienne’s products too and worry that they won’t be available much longer. Her models still include older women. They just look younger because WE are aging!

Since QVC also has craft supplies, I wondered if HSN and QVC would combine their stock of crafts after the move. If they did, it would take a little time before they put together a craft show or craft day.

Thank you, Ennui. If that were true no one could be sued for libel.

It’s always dangerous to generalize. But I’m sure market research on American eating habits guides HSN in its food presentations and demonstrations. You’ll live longer than most with your good eating habits!

Absolutely disgusting. Disgusting even on the plate with no one touching. But our eating habits in the U.S. are disgusting. Animal fat, sugar, starch to the max. It’s what sells. There’s no getting around the fact that Americans like greasy meat and sugar. Can’t blame HSN for that.

With Suzanne she’s better. She tends to talk over other hosts even more. Sometimes she doesn’t relate to the host at all if it’s not Suzanne. It seems like she’s more comfortable pretending the other hosts aren’t there. I don’t think she intends to be rude; she just seems insecure. But it has the effect of making her seem rude and not confident in the other hosts. And that has a negative effect on how we perceive the products themselves.

I like crafts treated like any other item category, with crafts featured more often than just once a month. I like seeing less more often. I don’t usually have a whole day to spare, and when I get around to watching the presentations online, items I want are often sold out. It’s also easier for me to schedule this way.

Renegade007 is 100% correct. Smartphones collect huge amounts of data about your activity and location, and advertisers and others can get detailed profiles. Even if these aren’t used for criminal activity, I value my privacy and don’t want Madison Avenue prying into my life. Not only that but location data is used for targeted ads influencing my buying habits without my being aware of it. I think of it as a kind of brainwashing. Location data can be used for stalking or identity theft. Smartphone users, not understanding this, are vulnerable. I don’t need spies in my life –every advertiser knowing everything about me. I have shades on my windows for a reason.

Yes, it’s convenient. But I don’t use my SmartPhone much; I stick to my little, reliable more private flip phone without apps. I feel Smartphones are tracking devices, and it makes me nervous. I don’t want anyone but me knowing everything about who I talk to and what I buy. I could have Internet access with my flip phone but I choose not to and only place orders from my laptop.

Something’s wrong if they can’t see that someone received a returned item again. How are they tracking product success/failure and other data without accurate inventory control? Worse, why alienate an obviously sincere buyer? It sounds like they assumed bad faith without checking all the boxes or customer care is at war with management!

Ditto on the “lame.” I thought it might be because of the move.

“I mean, other than them, who knows or cares about the behind the scenes people?”
Who writes things like this? Glad to see objections in this thread. Thinking this way is bad enough, but putting it in writing in a public forum wow! Dumb and dumber.
