Are you afraid to start a topic ?

[Dancing Fire]

HO have had been slow since Kenny is MIA. I hope Kenny is doing well.

 

[AV_]

No.

Replying is much more fun.

 

[ecf8503]

I don't know... after the "do you think PSrs gossip about you" thread..............

 

[MeowMeow]

No. I'm just a boring person lol so I mostly prefer to just reply to other people. Unless I am buying something and then I'm totally interested in making new threads :p

 

[YadaYadaYada]

I feel like if I start a topic I need to stay on top of the replies and reply back to everyone. So not afraid maybe lazy is a better word!

 

[Rfisher]

Yes.
What did you hear?
Who told you?

 

[AprilBaby]

I have one of the longest threads on the site.

[Tekate]

nope

Kenny? he must have had his reasons for leaving. His posts sounded very unhappy at the end of when I remember he was here. Maybe he'll come back, maybe diamonds aren't his thing anymore. I can live without his rapier tongue but he was lively.

Funny you should ask....I recently started a thread on RT regarding my station necklace project, and despite having been on this site nearly 5 years, and starting about as many threads, I got crickets. Even from the people that asked me to start the thread. Yet newbies that are here for 5 minutes get 10+ pages of responses. I don't understand it, and wonder why it is so.

I never saw your thread...I think some people just navigate to a few places and stick with them. Once in a blue moon I’ll venture over to hangout but it’s been going on for a while and I can’t read over three hundred posts..

 

[strawrose]

As a newb, yes, I’m afraid.

 

[lyra]

Yes, I don't know why. I guess I'm boring and introverted.

You are definitely not boring!

I looked at it but because it references a specific vendor its not something I can just jump in on.

I understand completely, thank you for your candor. But the assistance I was/am seeking is for the setting of the stones, and I haven't spoken to any vendors about that. It's to gather intel on what may or may not work to avoid flipping, metal options for J stones, and feedback on the antique style settings I prefer. At this point in time, the stones are a done deal, so you could simply avoid that subject? I have no experience with custom settings and was hoping others with custom settings experience could help guide me a bit to help refine my ideas, cuz I'm a bit all over the place.

I will re-check it in the am when I wake up and see what I'm comfortable answering with in the rules.

 

[hmr_mama]

Yes, I’m conservative.
I enjoy creepin on the occasional HO thread though.

 

[dk168]

Nope, and I hope Kenny is too.

[mellowyellowgirl]

No.

PS is a very sane place compared to other places I frequent!

Just answering from my perspective. I did not see your thread as I don't frequent rocky talk too much since I am not an expert. I would rather the experts answer questions they have more experience with than I do.

Are you afraid to start a topic ?

No. When I have a good topic I happily start one but not going to gratuitously start topics just for the sake of starting them if you kwim.

@StephanieLynn Please don’t feel you need to respond to everyone. Everyone’s life get busy. We know you have small children.

I’m not afraid, just boring!

 

[jordyonbass]

No, I just don't have anything worthy of creating a PS thread for...or it's now against the rules for me to make those threads because of the trade badge

How did I miss you now being in the trade? What is your affiliation?

I'm selling mostly cut and polished Opals and some Opal jewelry occasionally. I was getting asked a lot a while back if what I was cutting was for sale, so I figured going trade made sense
