So sorry. *hugs* My SO's family also had a loss and it's just been that much more painful to grieve without a proper burial and gathering (but necessary to avoid more tragedy).

Even my ASD SPD + teens wear theirs. Every so often my ds pulls his down to get some non mask breaths (breathing issues due to pulmonary hypertension) but then pulls it back over his nose. I have also had to ask him to pull it down from his mouth so I can see it when he talks (speech conditions and masks make them a lot harder). There are some people making masks with windows in them so you can see the person's mouth. Maybe that would help. If you already have masks I understand not wanting to buy more. makerhouse.com/products/clear-window-face-mask-canada-print-a

I might make one 😊

I'm so sorry for your loss, Nicole. The stories about people's struggle to survive covid-19 are heartbreaking. Especially when family is not allowed to be with them in the hospital. I was crushed when I heard about Nick Cordero. He fought so long to survive and his son is so small. I find it hard to comprehend how people can choose to be stubborn asses when story after story like this comes out. If you don't care about putting strangers at risk how could you put your own life and the lives of your family at risk? Is your pride and arrogance worth it? It's irresponsible and childish to refuse to wear a mask. And people who claim to be Christian who refuse to wear a mask please read 1Cor 10:24 and Matt 22:39. I'm talking to you, Tracie, and any others who think the way she does. Posting pictures of people singing in your church doesn't make you Christian. Acting like one does. This isn't the time to insist on your rights. You're only insisting on a right to possibly kill yourself or others.

Tracie is posting in Victoria Marie’s FB group again. On a post about AC DT:
I have trouble believing this to be sincere. 🙄

Tracie is posting in Victoria Marie’s FB group again. On a post about AC DT: I have trouble believing this to be sincere. 🙄 I hope she is sincere. She may want to reflect on the racism ENDEMIC in TN and see what she can do about that. www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2020/02/13/report-white-supremacist-propaganda-tennessee/4747354002/As for how to "attract more POC to our hobby" - it STARTS by letting people SEE THEMSELVES represented in the hobby. So, things like: inviting them onto the podcast she hosts seems like a no-brainer. And not just the one or two POC Tracie already has talked to. Reach out in online communities. Find new voices. Find new IGs.

nicolep I am so sorry. She is beautiful and her soul is beautiful. It is not fair and if you need to be angry and lose it we are all here for you. If you need to cry, vent and just need hugs we are here for you. sleepingbooty I am actually surprised you read Dlisted. No Tracie is not sincere about POC. I have been told for years that she is racist. I guess she had some private conversations with people on her smack blog that went beyond smack. One of the girls on one of my old scrapbook forums always said she was surprised Tracie didn't have a permanent KKK hood attached to her head. I remember when I tried to be kind to her one of the 2Peas girls told me not to be kind to that "Racist Bitch!" I knew I would never forget that PM. Remember the eclipse? When she wrote her grandmother (I think it was her grandmother's) home was robbed. She was borderline racist. Little to late Tracie for you to be a token Christian. You laid down your hand and showed us all your cards.

Oh, I'm from way back when Michael K had his first blog (before Kathy Griffin sued him). Can't quit his poetic, sarcasm-drenched "trash" writing. I feel bad for all the writers he's hired over the years. No one ever lives up to his delicate yet destructive prose. ETA: Did anyone ever archive anything from Tracie's smack blog?

I remember that Kathy lawsuit. I haven't liked her since. Who picks on Michael? I remember Tina Fey says she has to have a daily dose of DListed. Take that bitchy Kathy! Remember when he made Tiger King Hot Slut before Tiger King was a thing? Remember how that man got all upset and his fans. Just flooded DListed with those "You are picking on him!"
Of course Michael will always be the one we always will remember Donald Trump as "Jabba the Trump" When Donald Trump got elected I remember on election night I kept thinking "Didn't anyone ever read Dlisted!" I am serious as can be. Now everyone is all surprised how Trump acts. Us DListers knew all along, lol.
I agree his writer's (I love them) can never live up to Michael's perfection. I read his site every day no matter how busy I am.
I don't know if anyone archived the smack blog. I know it's in Google's cache. If I can remember the exact name I will link the cache. A lot of 2Peas girls won't admit it but we ALL read it. Every single one of us. If they said they never read it they are lying. We all wondered when she was going to talk trash about us. She never ever failed to do so. Some of the girls that post here were her biggest victim's. I am sure they love this thread! A lot of scrapbook companies read her smack blog to. That's why she will never ever be somebody in this industry. Memories are long and she burned a lot of people. She dragged the companies she wants to be part of.

Was there more than one smak blog? I definitely read whatever one was always mentioned here. I had no idea what it was or that it existed until I found the peas. I just remember Teresa Collins was consistently roasted. Then someone either had a lot of time on their hands or created a bot to fill the comments with random profane nonsense and the site died. It was hilarious the way it was shut down. Genius actually.

It was hilarious the way it was shut down. Genius actually. There was a specific pea one I think, but the main one was the one where TC would accidentally post as herself and immediately delete and then come back and say how she posted calling people out for being mean, which was obviously BS because then why delete? TC used to gripe about me (I believe it was her anyway, I have never been consequential enough to bother anyone else) saying I was a wannabe DT member, which cracked me up because I never ever posted or have posted a single layout I have done, nor tried out for any team or magazine. I made her angry on Two Peas about something so she started trash talking me on the smack board. I never knew why it shut down, that is hilarious.

Well, she proved her racism on one of her first SG podcasts. She was talking about how she's such a germophobe (yeah, not really), and something that happened in a hotel when she was on vacation (she travels a lot, ya know). I think she wanted to make sure that there were new, clean towels every day, since some hotels ask that you use them a few days for ecological reasons. Anyway, she said that she left a message, but housekeeping didn't supply new towels. Her words: "Then I decided to write the message in Spanish, and wouldn't you know it? We got fresh towels the next day!" I cringed when I heard her say it then, and I just cringed and shook my head just now after typing it. Sigh.

Reagarding the towel comment: Not defending TC in any way, shape or form. She is ick. And I did not hear her or the context in which she spoke it. BUT, in general, what is wrong with writing a housekeeping request to the staff in Spanish, if it is obvious they are Spanish speaking? Most of the time when we stay somewhere, we will come across the housekeeping staff, and a lot of them do not speak English. Not judgement, just a statement. I would not expect that they would or should be able to read english notes. Lord knows I could not read one written in Spanish.
