i have told several people that i get more excercise out of their equipment than they ever will just by carrying it up the driveway and then carrying it back to the truck in 30 days

I know what you mean, especially when you have to take it to the third floor with no elevator. I always think to myself if you really wanted to work out you should have carried this crap up 3 flights of stairs!

OMG she is a total FREAK and so are all of her "fans" who call in and rave about her ugly clothes.

(not that I have ever watched it ***pushing my quacker factory frequent shopper card away from my computer.***)

I think (or at least would like to think) that some of these folks are in poor health or handicapped and can't make it out to a local mall without a lot of difficulty.

I used to have a lady that was good for anywhere from 1-10 QVC packages per day. I got along with her very well, so much so that when she died a few years back, I went to the wake. I went right after work, still in browns. When I entered the funeral home, everyone started to laugh. I guess everyone knew of her "addiction".

I too had a treadmill. Bought it from a friend who needed the money. I used it as a clothes hanger for months. After that it was sitting there in the back room collecting dust. Here's a word of advice. Never stand on one and try to dust it if it is plugged in. Damn near threw me through the wall. I sold it soon after that to a friend who's wife is heavy and probably has never lifted a dust rag in her life. I would imagine it has clothes hanging from it and is once again dusty.

Thank you Lobo fan for that confirmation about that crazy Quacker lady. She just creeps me out. If I had a mother that looked like her, I would keep her under wraps.

My QVC lady got 45 pkgs today. Took up a whole shelf on the truck. 3 trips from the truck to her door. This stop took longer than most of my commercial bulk stops.

DS,

QVC is a Pennsylvania corporation that
specializes in televised home shopping. It broadcasts in four major countries to 141 million consumers and the name stands for "Quality, Value, and Convenience".

And when we Americans max out all of our credit cards, we can watch endless commercials about Debt Consolidation!!!

Aren't all traces mapped out so we all get a QVC queen?
