The Kitchen Table

Business Name Placeholder?

last year

Is there more than one of you with this name? I’m getting confused with who is posting what.

My guess is it’s houzz’s new generic name for users, as opposed to the former HU-#######, or whatever it was. I seem to remember that Ole Joyful had been stuck with one of those generic screen names. He, at least, usually id’s himself in his posts, as he did in the recent one usung BBP.

ETA: So, yes, I think we’ll be seeing more than one poster under that name. That could get not only confusing, but unfortunate, should someone choose to play games with it.

Yeah, I think it is used by more than one entity. Often by spammers, too.

But why is that recent post signed by ”ole joyful’? I was confused about that & wondered if he had 2 login names or was having trouble.

I think that is Old Joyful, maybe? He lost his sign in and now has that name come up - he's a sweet old guy who usually posts on the Kitchen Table. Not sure if that moniker is randomly assigned by houzz to others, like the H numbers.

Business Name Placeholder, thanks for the laugh. I have never in my life been accused of being left-leaning! I come from Alberta, home of oil drilling and cowboys. (And the Fck Trudeau signs) 😳 Elon is a guy who sends satellites and rockets into the sky, has too much money, and spews out the most ridiculous comments about everything from poetry, world population to passing gas. I think most of it is nonsense. 🤷‍♀️ I think you’ve made my comment political. Jasdip, thanks for the daily fun questions.🤠

How could we rearrange this living room?

This is pretty easy because you've already got a good arrangement. The tv across the corner gives a diagonal view for almost everyone. That widens the function. I'd move the chair on the left back to the left of the window, if you want, and that's it. Moving that chair takes it out of the witness chair feeling. The next option places the sofa in front of the window with the tv opposite where the two pictures are hanging now. This may mean you close the drapes to avoid the tv showing to the outside unless it's fully private. You can group two chars along the back wall and one chair at this entrance end tying into the sofa. No larger console. You can go with a larger tv wall mounted or on a minimal console the width of the tv feet/stand.

I was talking with a friend the other day and we were laughing about one of her classic comments to me. At the time I was going through IVF, hormones raging, stressed, anxious, . . . I needed a release for all my pent up emotions. I said I just needed someone to do something wrong so I could explode. . . She looked at me, raised her hand up and said "It was my turn yesterday." We laugh now, but I do wonder why anyone from that period of my life still talks to me. (7 cycles of IVF in 3 1/2 years.) I am thankful I have such tolerant friends.

KW, that is what I noticed. The posts that I read did not seem like they were all from the same poster.

I don't see why Houzz can't assign random arbitrary names like my kids' gaming xbox used to do. They had names something like Fast Pirate or Ginger Panda. At least they're memorable and distinguishable.

Note that Ole Joyful’s account is set up as a pro account. I'm guessing that's what drives this generic name.

And his thread is is still here, just a little lower on the page. "Family legacy."

This is the difference between the two poster’s ID pages.

The only difference that I can see is one says US and the other one is blank. The history of their posts are different as well. I see that one is ”ole joyfuelled”.

Hmm, I think letters is right. It’s just the former HU #####, and LOL,but even more confusing. 🤷‍♀️

In another recent thread the BNP user - not the ole joyfuelled one - commented that s/he was unable to change their user name & had been trying to. I found one BNP with Canada as country & one like above that has no country affiliation.
