It seems that I have fanned the flame of someone's jealousy here on Gather. Is it my shoe collection? My perfume collection? My dozens of troll dolls that set your teeth on edge because you want them so much? Maybe it's my three cute dogs. Whatever, I just wanted to let you know I posted four new photos this morning and you haven't DB 1'd them yet. Get with it! My friends and I were laughing about the DBs last night and a couple of them said, "Just turn off the ratings." Hell, no. A page view is a page view. I'm collecting Calphalon pans from Macy's now, with your help :). So DB away, even pull out the laptop and hit me twice. I've got my eye on the griddle next.

That should teach you to hang around with me. No good can come from it, obviously. :o)
They just don't make trolls like they used to, do they?
There are some really NASTY people on Gather!
I'm also jealous of those lime green thong underwear that you have with the purple polka dots.
love
Ellie - I don't think you can be here and please all the people. Mariana T. is just about the nicest person you'd meet anywhere, but she gets "special fans" too, and it's just jealousy that she's getting attention. I haven't put together any albums yet. I'll have to do one of the doggies. They're Daisy, Shorty and Piglet.
Robert - They're great pans and I never put them in the dishwasher and I hover around Van so he won't use a metal tool on them.
Marianne - That's how I was thinking. I could post a couple dozen pics, the special fan could spend some time and attention on me, and I'd come out with a bunch more page views. I hope this article spurs them on to greater heights, actually.
dark - Actually, I do, too. Unless my mouse runs across the rate button, I forget to rate things. I don't think it counts, but the view does.
Kay - I don't know why they do it, Kay. Jealousy is the only thing I can think of. I have lots of fun here, and maybe they don't and want to take the frustration out that way. But I know when my Special Fan started revealing herself, my points jumped :)
Nellie - Aren't all dollies dead, actually? But anyway, thanks, the picture was a lucky accident.
Monica - You promised after that camping weekend you wouldn't tell anyone about my undies!
Geeta - Love your new icon. Yep, you've had more than your share of special fans, girl.
Magi - I thought if I fanned the special fan's flame a little I could get that griddle quicker :)
Kris - That's why my special fan is so special. She's more than one person and sometimes she talks on her own threads and agrees with herself. Sometimes she spells better than other times. I wonder if she has several hats sitting there, and changes them when she switches to her other accounts. "Okay, I'm being "M" now, I'll wear this derby. "C" is the cowboy hat, "G" is the baseball cap." Hahahaha.
Joy - Maybe Santa will have a Velvet Elvis for you at Christmas. Santa can't guarantee, however, that Elvis will be weeping.
John - Totally shocking, isn't it? Sweet little old me who takes meals to old folks and walks the dogs at the shelter. I must be an undercover mean mother.
Mugg - Muuuwwwhhhaaaaa.
arenb't you just way to special :)
Prolly they're jealous of your hot rack.
Jackie, I thought you said Hat Rack the first read through. I have one of those, too!
Love the comment of Kris.
Like Ina, I usually turn off the ratings. When I forget to do so, it is amazing what gets a db.
Someone looked up photos I posted two years ago so they could add their db 1 to them.
Peter, on one occasion someone managed to go through everything I had up (starting in 2006) to throw a 1 on it. Since the only ones that escaped were those published to friends or private groups only, I can at least conclude that I am not connected to this person and he/she is not a member of any of those groups.
I've always been db's. But let's face it, I act up and tick people off. It kills me when some of the sweetest people on here get db'd. They even did it to my kids pictures once. Now that ticked me off supremely.
I was on the Macy's site last nite and I think I saw some Calphalon on clearance. I love my frying pan.
Here's a little something you and Ina might enjoy -
