A positive thread!

[LisaZoe]

I just got an urge to start a new thread for people who may have something positive to say about others on the DIS. Too often, we (yes, I am definitely including myself in this) take the time to criticize others but not to express appreciation. As such, I want to start.

I have been almost overwhelmed by the number of people who have taken the time to either post or send a PM to me with a positive note or comment (often about my DD). I wish it wasn't so unusual to think that people take the time to do something like that but too often in our busy, and even not so busy, lives, it seems that it is too easy to just "not bother" with such acts of kindness. To all who do make the effort, I give a resounding "THANK YOU!!!"

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the posters on this board. Some have been with me through the deaths of my in-laws, my brother during 9-11, my mother with breast cancer and ME with thyroid cancer.

This is somewhere I come, because I know there are 'friends' here who care.

What a nice thread to start !

Noo.... I can't say anything nice.. No You can't make...


oh okay you dragged it out of me...


The people I have met on Dis are some of the nicest, caring people, even more so than people I have met in person. The are the occasional who I wonder where they are coming from but still enjoy their input


LisaZoe, you do have the most adorable dd. I read you trip report and she was so adorable in every one of them.

I also have been lucky to come across many kind and caring people here on the DIS. It seems like when you are down, they lift your spirits up and keep you going.
When I participate in the various exchanges and see a box, it makes me happy....
Thank you to all of you.

Nice post.

Thanks for the nice thread. The people here are like a big family. Have a great day!

I like the fact that if I need information about ANYTHING I only have to come here and ask. Disers bend over backward to help you.

I love it here. I have the DIS to thank for so much. I can learn about anything I need right here. I love how everyone here "gets" the Disney thing. It's so much fun to hear about people getting ready for a WDW trip - it's almost like you're going too!

I've been all over the net, and I've found no place as great as right here! The Happiest Place on the Web for sure.

The DIS board is a great place to visit and chat with nice people!

While I definitely realize you were joking, I have to admit I thought more than once about starting this thread... partly because I kind of thought it was a dumb idea myself. I'm really not a "Pollyana" so this is not something that comes naturally to me. However, I'd read a few too many posts of people sniping each other so I wanted to attempt to balance them a bit - and hopefully balance my own karma.

The truly wonderful thing about the DISboards is that there are so many people, with different interest and views that are willing to help out everyone else. I have asked about gardening, WDW, food, my kids, a million different things and I've always gotten terrific feedback. Even if I don't agree with someone's viewpoint, I have been given some pretty thought-provoking insights. So, to all of you out there, who are always there for everyone else...a huge THANK-YOU!!!!!!

There are nice people on the disboards who are willing to help out others. I can always find some great info and some new perspectives on things.

The DISers are some of the friendliest and most helpful group of people. I really like hanging out here.

I too love all the information you can get just from asking a single question. Everyone has such different ideas about things it helps alot to see different viewpoints. I would not get the same advice/responses if I only asked my family or close friends.
I also love the way everyone seems to band together when someone else is going through a difficult time in their lives (death, sickness, etc.). The DIS is a great place because of the people that post here!

 

[EsmeraldaX]

If I were to list all the nice people here, I'd run out of space in my post! There are so many.

LisaZoe - Your DD is adorable. She looks like a real little princess. She is so photogenic.

The people on the DIS are truly some of the nicest, caring people I have never met. Amazing how someone you have never met in person can be so thoughtful and caring.

When my DD broke her arm and I am sitting in the ER waiting for the surgery to be over (she had to have 3 pins placed in her arm). I sat down at the computer sitting in the corner and started a thread about needing someone to talk to. I had a lot of responses from people from around the world. That to me was simply amazing.

Although I am relatively new, I have already seen how wonderful the DIS community is. Thanks to everyone with the help planning my HM trip in Sept and to Dan and Jfulcer for helping me with my clip art! And thank you also to all those who posted or PM'd me with nice things to say about our wedding pics!

So far I have only good things to say about the DIS members! I don't think that will change any time soon!
