Citizen appreciation...

from WinCustomize Forums
Just a small *shmoopy* thank you to all of the citizens who log on and give their help and critiques and compliments.

I've been kinda sad lately but it's amazing how just one positive voice can make a difference to another human being...and that is pretty damned wonderful iffin' I do say so myself.

I thank my fellow skinners and artists too...your words really hit home because you can understand what it 'takes' much better than anyone else. ((HUGS))

Some *shmoopy* advice:
If you are new to this website and feeling shy about posting...I highly recommend it...the only advice I'd give is... A. Be yourself B. Be aware of other's feelings when you post and be sure to use your kindest manners (something that seems to be inherently lacking in SOME members *ahem*) and C. Post something only once...if you find you have not been heard just post the word "BUMP" under your very own post and that will bring it back to the forefront for someone's attention again.
D. Don't assume people don't care here...they DO...but people are PEOPLE and do have LIVES so be patient...we are a community of folks doing work mostly for nothing but the satisfaction and fun of giving.
E. Remember above all that this website was provided for users of Stardock products...and the people here who provide work are usually legit Stardock customers who love the product so much they want to provide their skills and work to others for free...

I hope I don't sound like I'm on a soapbox...I hate it when that happens

I do not appreciate your 'smirk' remark. It's called humour.

Well put, shmoopsters. Very helpful to the newbie. And a thoughtful nudge to those who behave as though they don't know any better.

I second your "ahem" - respectfully, of course.

I didn't mean to abandon this thread... /me has been busy with a post-op kitty-kat who needs my attention 24/7 and has been clinging to my apron-strings and mostly my lap. He's on it every chance I sit down...I feel stalked!

Thank you for the chuckles and silliness and laughter...it does loosen and lighten the emotional load...I rather enjoy the olden days of silly thread veering...but maybe I'm the only one!

I sure do appreciate the kindness of both friends and strangers and strangers who become friends and friends who are no longer strangers and...where was I? hehe

I try and love everyone...even people who hurt my feelings...because I try and put myself in their shoes and figure...maybe they don't understand me...or maybe they had an awful day...maybe they are going through a personal crisis and decided to take it out on me and now I've decided to not respond to anything ugly or cruel or mean or unfeeling. It's just stupid if I do...since it just escalates and makes me feel like an ass in the end. hehe

...anyone have some grey poupon?

And speaking of grey poupon, as Shmoopy just did. Someone was telling me recently about the numerous, some would say too numerous, selection of mustard varities in the grocery store. Now, I hate grocery shopping. So when I go I have a list and run up and down the aisles grabbing items as I go. But I felt compelled to check out the mustard section to check out the truthfulness of my this person's claim. As we say in North Carolina, "Lord have mercy"----I never knew that many varities of mustard existed. There was a mustard load of different mustards. I was shocked, shocked at what I saw. I then resumed my run and grab till my shopping was done.

Sorry to go off topic

LMAO@Chuckf1 !

Yum...I must admit I love mustard...grey poupon is good...and the stone ground variety is tasty too...some hot mustards are nose-stinging good with an afterburn that is a bit shocking (it's that darned horseradish they sneak in there)!

He-he...another "Lord have mercy" is the "hot sauce" section! You wouldn't believe so much of an isle could be devoted to burning your nose-hairs! Frank's hotsauce is one of my favorites and the green tobasco is mighty tasty too.

Hot sauce section?!? I'm still trying to deal with the variety in the mayonnaise section and I don't even like mayonnaise! I thought there were only three types of mustard---French's, Grey Poupon and the generic store brand. Shows how often I go into the condiments section.
