Big Thanks to an Unknown Diser!-- No longer unknown. Thanks!

[Disneynutbsv]

I am sure you are talking about Slightly Goofy!! Is she a older woman who has health problems. That is my friend Linda and she always takes extended vacations at disney world and I bet she is staying at AS Sports!!

I met Linda at Pop Century when they had a mini dis meet by the pool bar She's very nice!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Nice? Not me. Ornery, slightly disturbed and a bit off the wall possibly. I was sick that night so I was not up to par.

You are nice though. Hang around with me awhile and I can rid you of that though.

I especially thank you for a few extra special moments I had this trip. The first one was when I ran into a woman I had never met before in my life who called me by name. screen and real, who recognized me from this thread. I also ran into other folks who did also. My favorite part of DW is the folks I meet. I may not always remember their names but I do remember their stories.

Welcome home, SlightlyGoofy!

So, word is out on the street about you being a good deed do'er, eh? It doesn't surprise me in the least!

I'm so glad you got to meet more Dis'ers and that they got to meet you too. You really are one of my absolute favorite people and I just love sharing you with the rest of the World (especially, Disney).

I can't wait to hear about your extended vacation and view your vacation photos. Get crackin' on that trip report, will ya? (No pressure from me!)

Again, welcome home!

Howdy folks! Thank you for all the kind words (OLDER???? ) HUMBLE????

I did nothing that any of you would not have done in the same situation. That is why I love DW and DISers. The small things I did were in payment for the many kind things that folks did for me also. If only the real world was more like this.

We got home late last night and I have a few minutes until I go to pick up my gsons from school as they have a half day. Not much work will be done today but lots of fun will be had.

Thanks all and I will check in later when my brain is back up and running.

So you are nice, sweet, live to spread pixie dust, AND hillarious! Sounds like someone I'd love to run into in WDW or anywhere! Thanks for all that you do! I wish there were more people out here like you! I can't wait 'till Dec. When I can go spread some pixie dust myself!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Piglets Mommy, thank you but I am more the norm (okay, all you folks that have actually met me quit laughing ) than the exception to the rule.

I have to list a few of the many nice things that were done for me while I was there.

I went to a couple of POP meets and some of the folks had made up bags of goodies for almost everyone there while I arrived with a simple bag of kids toys. One lady made an awesome dvd of Disney music that I have been listening to most every day.

One lady walked all the way back to her room to GIVE me a free (she refused payment) glow cube for my grandkids.

People gave up seats to me on the bus when I sorely needed one. (I try to avoid getting on a bus when it is standing room only but sometimes you cannot tell until you are on) The nice couple from Britan that offered to let me sit on their bench to see High School Musical.

The CM's that gave me special pins and such for doing such simple things like taking pictures of other folks.

The CM that sold me my AP's and gifted me with a stack of passes for the rides and coupons for free waters.

The folks who helped me carry food back to my hubby when it was evident that I was not able to do it on my own. My dh was kind enough to watch my cane while I got his food, ever helpful he.

The hand drawn picture that some children left on my door to thank me for some pins and an offer of shelter from a rain storm when they were huddled with their parents outside our door.

All the fabulous Lime Green Mickeys that I found on my door, including a laminated keychain that now decorates my vacation bag. Just wish folks had left their names as well.

Phone calls with invitations to join them at the Food Court etc. Next time I will ask them to sit down with me so I can visit longer. Lessons to be learned.

I know I am missing out on some of the many kindnesses I received, and tried to reciprocate and I have purposely not listed names as I am sure I will forget someone and would not want to hurt anyone's feelings just cause I cannot hear them when they tell me who they are. I remember their smiles though.

I have found that if you do not find many smiles or much kindness in your life that if YOU are the first one to do so it starts a chain reaction. Occasionally you have to repeat the treatment a few times before you get the results but it happens!!

[aces_babydoll]

That is so cool.
People like you make the world a better place!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

aces_babydoll, I beg to differ. We ALL have the option to make the world better or worse and the sad thing I have found is that often folks just do not realize the positive things they do in life because they think of them as being small but a smile can mean the whole world to someone who is having a bad day. Just because it is easy does not mean it is not important.

Have a great day!!

SG/Linda

 

[aces_babydoll]

That is so true. I will have to remember that!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Please do, just because the people I gave birth to think I am stupid is not reason for others to think so as well. They do not know me nearly as well though. Ummmmm

Thanks, SG/Linda

Hey you all. I am having a bad day and ran upon this thread and it has helped a lot. Still do not believe it all but hey I will take it any old way!

Will be back at my Happy Place in about three weeks. Look for the Lime Green. For some reason folks say that I am an 'obvious' DISer!

Slightly Goofy who hopes that you all will be there then or soon!

Sorry you are having a bad day.
Often reading these threads helps to lighten my mood too, like this one about you! Slightly Goofy, you inspire me to do good when I am out-&-about and at home! Thank yOU!

 

[kimmar067]

You know what? Now that you posted that, I realized that she did say her screen name. When she said that, I thought she was describing her screen name Thanks for clearing that up!

....I'm glad the mystery was solved.....personally, I feel like many of the previous posters - I'm not too comfortable with giving out my name, but I couldn't help but notice that the DIS'er WAS wearing a lime green item that would easily identify them as a DIS'er....jes' sayin'

...and, what a nie sprinkin' of pixie dust the OP got!

It's people like you who make the Dis so special. You really know how to spread the magic. I'm so sorry you are having a bad day, just try to concentrate on where you will be three weeks from now! We haven't been to WDW since 2008 (we always stay at Pop) and I don't know when we will get to go back. I wish I could meet up with Disers the next time we get to go. I've never met anyone from the board. You sound like a wonderful person and I hope I get to meet you at Pop one day!

sorry you are having a bad day. I"m glad you found this old thread...and my family and I will keep an eye out for you, we'll be down 12/3-12/11 at BWV. My oldest is always pointing out lime green shirts/mickeyheads to me.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Now see what I am talking about, all of you heard I was having a bad day and took your time to send me good thoughts. NOW, that is why I love Disney, it attracts the nicest people and just naturally makes you want to be better too!

If you have trouble meeting fellow DISers I can give you all some hints. I post on the threads that ask when you are going and then some of my old friends and I plan to meet up and sometimes I meet someone new as well.

Also wearing my special 'Goofy' shirt" lime green of course along with my Focker landyard, LGM's and such helps a bunch too. I am sort of hard to miss.

My 'be safe' advice is to only meet folks in public places and only give out your cell number. I have never had a problem but I know folks who have.

See you there, if not this trip then another cause we are looking for a house nearer to my Happy Place and will be there even more often, God willing and the crick don't rise!

I know this is asking a lot to remember, but by any chance, were you in the Magic Kingdom on the evening of April 2, 2005 - near Pecos Bill's - just before the nighttime parade started?

If so, I think you may have been the lovely woman that helped me out on a very difficult night in my life..

Sorry you're having a rough day. I hope you're feeling better now.

Indiana's loss is Florida's gain! I hope to follow you (not in a creepy stalker way though ) in 3 years or so. These Indiana winters are just not for me, or my DH. My kids have even started complaining about the cold and snow.

Best of luck to you with your move!! I hope you find a great place and can visit your Happy Place whenever the mood strikes you.

God willing and the creeks don't rise , maybe we'll get a chance to meet up someday!!
