Can I play over here?!?

8 years ago

I don't think I can do the other side anymore. I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, as I know there has been multiple posts on this subject. I guess I'm throwing in the towel. I used to think about posters here &their homes when I was out and about. Send fabric across the country that I no longer needed. It was a community. I have gratefully received such great advice here. My real life friends get sick of me moving/thinking/changing my house;)


Ive been over on this side now n again, so I feel like I know y'all more than you might know me. But, can I play, too?!?

    Please do! I may troll the other side for photos but now only post here. Those mega threads are annoying.

    Certainment! Post away. I've been sitting on several decorating related topics and wondering - do I post here, do I post there (I won't cross post but would multi-post) and as a result have done nothing at all.

    Shee--//////////waving my hand-- I feel the same way about recognizing the name. Just feel so lost over there.

    Well, maybe we should cross post & not let others run us away??

    And thank you, Delilah & DLM! Please post, DLM!! I would love to see more of your home:)

    I never posted much on the other side but I remember you and some of the projects you were working on. I never even read that side any more - too much useless blather.

    A lot of us feel that way, we all miss the old hang out, but don’t cross post, no no no....then this secret little space won’t be so secret anymore. Shhhhhhh

    Well, since your name is Peppapoodle and my cat's name is Pepper who I call Pepperdoodle, of course you can play!

    Welcome!!

    DLM, definitely post here. No one will try to sell you anything or tell you to tear down a wall and add ten more walls. :)

    I am a newcomer but I have figured out that cross posting might not be the best idea. I am so glad that you "crossed over" Peppa.

    The thing is I tried posting a decorating topic here (didn't cross post) not long ago because I wanted quick feedback from names I recognized and Houzz pulled it without notice. I'm assuming it was flagged as miscategorized but they moved it to Design Dilemma (I never post there) and another forum . They at least could have moved it Home Decorating. I had to go searching for my post.

    Hi Peppapoodle! Do you have a poodle? I just adopted a mysterydoodle lol

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing your projects.

    And my new dog too...

    I only post my decorating questions here as well. The responses here are always super thoughtful. I love your house Peppa and I love poodles too :-)

    Welcome peppapoodle! I have always liked your moniker!

  • 8 years ago

    I feel the same way, and I know you've participated a lot over the years. I started out as WonByHerWits on GW, then DYHGarden and just shorted it to DYH.

    Welcome!

    Welcome Peppapoodle! I recognize the name, and look forward to getting to know you better "over here", in this much better place than the other one.

    :-D

    Awwwww.....thank you all!!

    I love, love the mystery pood! I just lost my guy-13 years & stayed on hospice for 6months for melanoma on his gums that metastasized to his lungs. i Would love to adopt another poodle/poodle mix In due time.

    Dyh- I loved your kitchen in your old house so much!!!


    ok, so no cross posting!!!

    And thank you:)

    I recently lost my gentle giant Rottie to cancer and adopted this doodle guy. It's exhausting!!! I do love him already but...Ahhh, the work.

    Not sure if this vid will show up but this is my life 24/7.

    Edited: vid didn't go through. Just imagine a dog running across the ceiling, flying over sofa's , jumping on counters, snatching anything left on a coffee table, ripping up toilet paper rolls, taking things in closets and never having been trained on a leash.

    I'm about to join the ranks of not posting on the other side too. But I have a long post about our remodel you've commented on recently. It's not originally tagged "conversations" too and it can't be added now.

    Sorry about your pups. I lost a Mini Schnauzer to cancer years ago. She was my 4th child. Currently we have four dogs, two are 12+ and we call them our "old men." DH dreads the day.

    Peppapoodle I'm so happy to see you!!

    (but guys. what, I'll end up being alone there, like Mowgli in the village? it gets dark, it gets lonely, on the other side from you(c)

    I can't figure out how to cross-post either)

    Justerrilyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your guy:( I wish I could see the video!! I can so relate to shoes &toliet paper rolls everywhere-I've forgotten just how busy a puppy is & love it!

    Allison, absolutely love what you are doing &your thread--please keep updating it. And let us know over here when you do. I'm sorry about your miniature schnauzer, too. We call our "man"- grumpy grandpa. The new pup is keeping him young & feisty. Although, for the first few weeks, he was asking when the baby could go back to his own house;)

    April, thanks! I'm still mixed about going on the other side. Part of me wants to give up & the rebel says--oh, hell naw--shouldn't give up this easily. I think it's the exposure on the other side. So many people, but no sense of community.

    Thanks for the welcome:)
