Oh jeez..Group hug. I'm team Wop. We all just come on here to chitchat. Don't get too wrapped up in what anyone posts. MY D*R life for one isn't that exciting right now. I've been there, done most of that, out of money and over it for right now. I still like to come for the chitchat though and I don't find a thing wrong with that.
Lord knows I haven't posted anything of my own house in ages. I finished decorating months and months ago and won't do anything else of my own until we move this summer. And I'm sure if you look through the posts I've authored, they're all critical and poking fun, but that's bc DH is 7 hours away and not on the couch beside me so I can't nudge him and make him agree that XYZ is ridiculous Now that we're on this semi-private board, I feel less bound by the D&R title re: staying on topic. I feel like these girls are just girlfriends to chat with on lots of topics.
My H travels all of the time. You girls are my social life. Waaaaaa!! I love when we get off-topic. I just find the YHL posts boring. Now when they pieced together the kitchen cabinet, that was good quality stuff to bash. The sheet and the painted basket? Not so much.

I'm always amazed how people can get so tense over random sh*t on the internet. Click or don't. It's an easily solveable problem. I just can't quit this board full on although I've scaled back a lot lately. The girls on here have helped me through so much and are tons more fun to "talk" with than some of my own IRL friends somedays. That and I'm way out in the stick my non dairy farm interactions are limited. I think the randomness is what makes us great as a board. Then again you all know my usual response to decor is, "If you like it, hang it up already." I stopped being valuable help in that dept. years ago.
And I wanted to add that super cranky second part of my post quoting you was not aimed at you specifically. I reread it and saw that it could look that way.
Huh? I mean, I thought a lot of it was aimed at me so I don't know which one wasn't. Teehee.
downtonali I am sorry. I don't keep history but I never see you post anything about yourself so I'm curious! I don't care if you post YHL negatives but it would be awesome to hear why you dislike it and what would be better etc.
Also I totally got hooked on downton because of you! one day I decided I had better figure it out if you thought it was cool.
It's all cool lady, no worries. I re-read my post and realized I wasn't nearly as irritated as I sounded. Internet hugs all around ladies. As Scarlet O'Hara said, "tomorrow is another day". dramatically tosses back hair......
I do post plenty of H&G stuff, but also a decent amount of random stuff, This is my "home" board so I typically come here first. But I love decorating and am constantly tweaking things at my house, but they aren't necessarily post worthy changes.
Glad to hear that you love Downton Abbey. Now that IS an obsession of mine. Matthew and Sybil in one season. I. can't. talk. about. it.
I never said we shouldn't chit chat!!!!! I do all the time! I believe someone said they *think* I do based on this post but seriously?! I post chit chat shit often enough. How about the day everyone suggested earrings for my wedding and I didn't buy any of them?! Lol
